Make friends with it soon guys, you'll be seeing it a lot from now on unfortunately. That isn't going to sell, honestly what is Mattel doing with that.

WWE toys are aimed at kids. I'm aware that these are kids toys but honesty this isn't even appealing to kids . Unless you are a brand new collector none of these figures have any appeal at all. None of those three figures sold well at all in solo releases. What kids didn't see them back then? I can still go to any store and buy one of each of these exact figures (and pay the same amount kmart is charging) and I see plenty of kids in those figure aisles with their parents. Face it, this, along with those re release sets, are one of the worst possible business moves that the Mattel company could've ever made. If you don't see it now you'll see it when every single store you go into doesn't have that flashback you're looking for, but rather it's flooded to hell with khaki cenas. The 3 pack issue is especially annoying because we could've had the shield 3 packs in abundance by Christmas time, and instead we won't see that one for a LONG time, and we will have that goofy big show and his two pals smiling at us with spite, all holiday long.

Well for one, if it weren't selling up to mattel's standards, then why are they still releasing them? Every kid wants their hero as an action figure, at the moment or was when Mattel designed this, these guys are the ones the kids loves and are portrayed as heroes. All these figures are aimed at kids not for a 19 year old boy like me for example. Mattel try and include stuff collectors want but the akin share of it goes to the kiddies who want people they see on TV every week and that's why you see these cena's and that and not elites of ones we want i.e PTP, Curt Hawkins etc as they are seen as that they won't sell with kids as much as heroes like cena. Yes, of course we want all these elites but it's most of these purchases made from little kids who want the figures.

Let's see. They are a Kmart exclusive which means either Kmart asked for them or Mattel offered it to them. Stores love exclusives. Now they are just re-releases which mean they cost less than repaints or completely new figures. So the cost is low for Mattel. This set is aimed at either new collectors or people who for whatever reason missed out on these particular figures. There are always going to be new collectors. This is a good item for them. Collectors always ignore the fact that there are constantly new customers being introduced to the line.

I never understood why Kmart never got at least repaints for their 3 packs. It has to be a very low cost to buy them from Mattel. The other thing that bugs me about Kmart exclusives is that they drag out ONE assortment with their Troops and Champions line. Think of how many different wrestlers could be made for either line.

even though this 3-pack sucks, it ACTUALLY makes sense, Cena Faced Big Show, and same goes for Sheamus, and the Rock/Brock/Cena 3-Pack

Hilarious how many of you defend mattel to the death. No crapthese are for kids. I have a 6 yr old son that already has three Cena mattels and groans just like us collectors every time we go to the store and there is nothing but Cena's. I get it that no kid should have to hunt for a Cena figure, but mattel could literally ship out half the figures of him that they do now and he would still be on shelves everywhere. It's a mind baffling business model to me, but apparently it works. When I was young, you didn't have to search high and low for Hulk Hogan figures, but at the same time you'd never walk in anywhere and just see only 20 of him from various series clogging up shelves like you do Cena.
