I'm not a fan. They're just shelf warmers over here. I don't like figures with built-in actions.

How about using that space to stock more of the current lines? Like buying more of each figure so it won't be so hard to find some of them? A lot of them sell out really fast. Also it seems a lot of stores do not get in every series. I've noticed a lot of stores lacking the classic-style series'. There are A LOT of wrestling figure series' these days, and there are always ways for the stores to do a better job of stocking up. True. I went to Target today and they didn't have a single Basic or Flexforce. Completely sold out. But if the Flexforce were to completely disappear, it is no guaranteed that Target would replace them with more Basics. They might not even use the pegs for WWE. Maybe they'll use the space for super heroes, GI Joe, or the latest movie line. I don't think people realize how much the large stores have an influence on what is and isn't made. Walmart probably wanted an action line. So Mattel made one. Don't mind me, I was probably being grumpy. But it seems like whenever an American collector complains about price a collector from a different market writes they have it worse. We need an International Trade expert to get to the bottom of the toy price differences between countries  . |

I have three. Miz, Orton, and Jericho. They're ok, but not my fav. because they lack the detail.

Yeah they are totally for the kids.. i have a friend who has a 9 year old and he likes flex force and his mom prefers buying the flexforce for him for some reason.. i agree that they suck to. hopefully they dont drag out this line forever.. Rumblers are even better than the flex force is haha

I imagine the profit margin on FF is probably higher than the other lines. If it stops making money or fails to act as an 'entry line', they will discontinue them.

I think they're great. Right now I have Edge, Mysterio, Punk and Undertaker and I'm waiting for HHH and Cena to be delivered. I plan on getting at least one version of each wrestler released in the line.

I quite like the flexforce figures.
They remind me of the days of the BCA's little, but just enough, cartoony detail mixed with Hasbro-esque action features. That being said, I don't find them to be any better or any worse than the other lines. I think it all depends on the figure itself more than the line

They must be selling if they continue making them
People like what they like. Not my cup of tea but whatever

I hate them too!
And as a kid I'd have hated them...as I didnt like the action fetures of the Hasbro's when I was 5-6

Flex Force is the kind of line that causes fits and hair loss for collectors, but it is perfect for kids 5-8. If you have ever seen them play with figures, they love ripping shirts and bending joints in opposite directions. Figures with action features and/or legs that cannot move are perfect for them.

Never even thought twice to buy one of these, regardless of what accessories they came with. I could see liking these if I were a young lad again.

Flex Force is just meant for kids, right? I just don't understand why they're kind of expensive. They're even a bit pricey at ringside. They look horrible, terribly crappy, and the novelty of them is pretty gay.
What's the deal? Does anyone here buy them?  |
