I hate to add to such a stupid topic but...Rey has apparently been pulled from all future bookings. No news on if it's an injury or what, but if it's a 3rd strike, your dumb wish might be granted.

I think its based on demographic, in places where there is a big latino population he sells a bit more. It just seems like he warms shelves because they make so many of him. Also its a budget thing for Mattel, meaning that he has a unique mold so why make a special mold of him to only sell a few figures as to where other figures share the same boots, torsos, hands, etc. That's why they keep releasing Sin Cara figures in almost every other series.

That's awesome that you wish hardship on someone because you're tired of seeing their figure. Life is so rough sometimes, how do you find the strength to go on?

Yeah its strange to see that he actually has been pulled from all future WWE events and his status is unknown at the moment. If he really did get busted again we really might not see any more Rey figures. But I hope that's not the case.

The WF Morality police strikes again.  CLEARLY, he isn't wishing an ill will on Mysterio. He's exaggerating for effect. Get off your pedestals. thats what i was thinking |

i wouldnt mind all the reys if they kept him interesting...hes had the same scan forever and then when they give him a new one it's garbage too with a giraffe neck....they do nothing to make the figures special. i see this arguement alot and i feel it holds no water. theres only so many ways you can scan a masked man. with that being said, a fig like rey is appealing due to different repaints and themes he has. and he has ALOT of variety. i have all of his basics and elites. he is kept interesting in my opinion say vs cena who can only have minor changes fig to fig. this is why i dont put him in same class as orton and cena. ya youre right about the complexity and color of his attires and they did give him the new wider torso. so i didnt mean to criticize that. im just disappointed with the bland almost no sculpt of the mouth--a scan which they have used ad naseum for 3 years. now the exception is the rsc flash rey which has an amazingly dynamic expression. im just lobbying for something closer to that. |

Yeah, because Mysterio controls the number of figures Mattel produces.

Flair is an entirely different story. He blew all his money on drugs, liquor, and prostitutes. Rey could easily retire today and be set for life. Flair's was also brought on by divorce. Multiple ones if I recall correctly? Whether Rey could retire comfortably or not still doesn't matter, because the entire argument of whether or not he should in this instance is based on something that is out of his control, has nothing to do with him and would probably only be EXACERBATED by his retirement and inevitable Legends deal... Rey's getting old, his body is beat up and he can't go the way he used too. Another 3 years and he'll be retired. They're blatantly using him to get Sin Cara ready to take his place and that's his role. When they feel that's done, he'll be done. Rey's on his way out, but for now, people just need to smile and bear it. And certainly not call for yet another American to lose their job. Not saying i want him to lose his job, because thats just wrong and anyone who wishes that on someone should suffer the same fate. Anyways you say iys not his fault and i disagree with that. If he didnt change attires every other show there would be no need for so many updated attires. Same with cena. I feel that wwe and maybe even mattel get him to do this for merchandise purposes. Im sure he gets a piece of the action too. So good for him. I would agree they need to stop making so many rey, cena, taker, and the others who have more than 2 figures already. Let someone else have a spot build the roster and please do more flashback elites. Use the basics to pump out rey cena and those others since thats what most parents buy kids anyway. Elites are more for collectors so give the collectors what they want. Bottom line is no matter what mattel does there is always someone who will find a reason to complain. |

The reason is they are packed heavier than others is because Cena, Rey & Orton are the faces of the company...they will all be gone by the end of the holiday just like every other year. If it was Slater, Ryder, Punk that were heavily packed they'd warm the pegs and with the exception of Punk would still be warming after the holidays

What they need to do is release flashbacks of him if they are going to continue to sell them.

Sooner or later, Sin Caras will be the new Rey.
There will always be shelf warmers to every figure line.
For example, everywhere I go I see the Aegis Iron Man from Marvel Legends clogging shelves.

If so many kids are buying the figures, why are the shelves full of them?? I bet you they have moved more, or just as many of those E17 Ryders in two months than they have of E15 Mysterio in 6 months. The shelves are full of them because of what the one dude above said, they make a crap ton of mysterio,cena and orton and they outsell the other wrestlers over the year b/c they are the most popular, it may seem that they clog all the shelves, but in reality they sell at a great volume, it's just that there's so many made, it's hard to move them all out completely...all the wal-marts I hit weekly are now completely done of cena, orton and mysterio after black friday, so obviously mattel knows slightly what they're doing when they make these sets...oh and r truth, swagger and big show clog all my shelves, and they're limited in quantity in cases, you figure it out |

The smiling scan you are referring to and wishing he'd use more HAS been used on some of his figs other than flash Rey. |

Rey Mysterio figures clog up the shelves at most stores I go to, along with John Cena and Randy Orton. Rey, Cena, and Orton are the biggest merchandise seller in the entire WWE roster and Mattel will continue to produce as many figures as they please to make profit. Rey getting fired most likely won't solve the distribution problems of his figures and the idea that he is responsible for the amount of figures he gets made by Mattel is ridiculous.

I don't think Tampa actually wants him fired, but I understand his frustration.
My advice would be to order online and get what you want. Yeah it's a couple bucks more but you won't see any Rey's

Rey Mysterio doesn't approve of this topic :-P. Honestly as weird as it sounds, I rather see Rey Mysterio figures clogging the shelves than Cena & Orton. The only things that bug me are the attire choices, I feel like they pick the less intricate ones. I did however like his E15. We need a Rey FB, I really want an unmasked version which is probably unlikely to happen.

Even if Mysetrio retired or was released, what is going to stop him from getting a legends deal allowing tons of Flashback Mysterios? exactly |
