Went into the Kmart on my way home from work tonight looking for E22, and to my surprise I spotted a B31 Del Rio....thinking I was gonna walk out with a jackpot I quickly scanned the pegs, no other signs of B31 except of course THIS little gem: oh and even better, I spotted these on the pegs: the one on the right was BLATANTLY stolen...the front of the package was CUT I just don't understand the human race, well...I do....but still, I wish I would catch someone doing this shit, just to be able to make them feel like the turd that they are.

It seems so. I've never really seen any other toy line where this happens either

It's ridiculous this these people steal plastic men. For what reason do people do this it's ridiculous and stupid.

This is sad. What's worse is the stores don't seem to care.

At a kmart near me they had a basic DiBiase in Jerico elite packaging for ages. Everytime I went in I pointed it out to a staff member and they would take it away but then next time there it is again on the pegs.

It's not the only toy line it happens to, but it is by far the most frequent.

The only way to prevent it is to go to the all-plastic clam shell packaging like McFarlane uses for their sports figures, and if they did that they would have to take away details from the figures because the packaging would cost a lot more to produce.

I used to come across Jakks CS cases with the OLD jakks WWE figs placed in them all the time so no, its not just Mattel.

Give me the more detailed figure over the packaging anytime. Just a shame some people take advantage.

That same exact thing happened with the two big shows at my local Kmart down here in Charlotte, NC. If you want the belt that bad suck it up and just buy it. People are really irritating sometimes :/

Wow, that is sad. Someone would go through the hassle for a $10 figure. The guy painted the face of a jakks Kane and slapped a wig on him. Lol

Its not a Mattel problem, its a wrestling fan problem. This only ever seems to effect the wrestling toys. I went to ToysRus a few weeks back and it was so ghetto there they didnt even attempt to switch figs they just out right ripped it out of the package and left the box on the shelf. I saw like five different WWE figs just stolen and some of the boxes hidden in the back of the shelf.
The biggest thing is it was only the wrestling figs, nothing else was stolen from any of the other toy lines. So we have to ask ourselves what kind of people does wrestling attract??
