divas figures stopped being sought after a long time ago. about the time they released Divas of doom figures tell that to elite trish status coming out soon (gonna sell out fast) Kaitlyn, too. I think it's down to who the good wrestlers are. The TNA knockouts sell really well, but most of them are great wrestlers, too. And that's not to say that some of the WWE diva's aren't great but being held down by the bad writing, but when a TNA knockouts match comes on, I don't rush to take a pee break. |

AJ has sold very well. I actually opened my elite AJ today to pose with my dolph. lol |

I only saw her one time and that was on a promotional shipper at Walmart. For some reason, not many stores in my area received B23.
Diva figures do really well in my area. I've never seen one shelf warm, including Mickie James. In fact, there are only two figures from the Basic, 2 packs, and Elite lines that I have never seen at retail and one of them is B20 Natalya (the other is B27 Ryback).

She still sells better than the average Cena, Orton or Rey Basic.
I've only seen her a handfull of times and she doesn't last long on the pegs.
I only bought her for the fox hood to put on CM Punk.

I mean think about it, when was the last time she was on TV? She's going to shelf warm, unless the scalpers ofcourse want her.

According to jakks, black female wrestlers sell very poorly. I can only imagine how the funkadactyls will shelf warm. I hope that becomes the case here. I'd love to find them. Black women don't sell? They have made 3. Jacqueline, Sharmell & Alicia. Jacqueline is one of the biggest shelf warmers ever because her figure was terrible. Sharmell probably did fine being in a 2-pack. Alicia sold slowly in some places, but well enough in general for someone who never appears on TV. Awesome Kong/Kharma may not have received any figures, but I have no doubt both Jakks & Mattel were really wanting to release her. And I doubt they would have been sweating her sales because of her skin colour. I'm amazed Jakks would say that. |

Alicia has never lasted long in my area at all, and I only saw her a handful of times and she's been out of stores since 2012 |

I only saw Alicia once in NYC (and bought it) and then never saw her again. I guess it depends where you are.
Some black women may not have sold well (hi Jacqueline), but I'm sure that Kharma (a black woman) would have sold out quick, as another member stated. Black women in wrestling is a conversation in itself, but I think at the end of the day figures sell based on popularity and not necessarily skin color, gender etc. (though I'm sure it plays a part. I.e. a Lita and Trish figure would never sell as well as a John Cena figure in a "boys" line).

Ive never seen it in stores. Anything that's short packed or a first time figure, I will rarely see. Mainly because Buddy Landell's bitch ass brother has his goons running from store to store cherry picking everything and then putting it in his Wrestling Shop for double the price.

I only saw her once around Christmas time... didn't know she was only in every other case though, I have a friend that keeps running into random B23 remnants, but can never find her.

My Walmart has like 15 pegs full of B23. All of them, including at least 5 Alicias. She is not at all hard to find here.
