Personally I think the reason Tully sold out so fast, was because so many refused to buy the Matty figure one at a time so they missed Arn. And because of it there were many who purched two Tully figures to have two titles. How many times did we read on here stuff like..."I am holding off on fill in the blank until I can order a few more to save on shipping" I think that backfired on Many and they had to buy extra Tully's to get the second title. Which of course probably caused many who needed Tully to go with Arn to be out in the dark...thus overpaying on the secondary market to complete the set. . So my best option is very likely the secondary market then.. Damn.

They can ship 2 figs for ten bucks, but if you were only buying one it was still 8. Then they took old figs down when new ones went up, only to put them back up later. Almost as if they were trying to squeeze the extra shipping out of people. Add that to the fact that they didn't advertise these figs on any retail packaging and plenty of people missed out.

I had him in my collection but had to let him go cuz the figure was doing too much coke. Arn was pretty pissed.

If they can give the NAO, the Usos, and las matadors in the elite line, then they surely can make Arn and Tully

I don't think they made very many Tully's. Tully was the last of the Matty figures after they moved Liz to the Elite line ( very wise move by Mattel she was better off in the Elite line). Mattel knew the Matty line was toast by the time Arn came out and they just released some Tully's to fulfill their obligation. Alot of people who ordered Tully off Matty had their orders cancelled. RSC received the Matty leftovers of DDP, Bundy, Arn and SDCC Taker and sold them.

I'm not sure Liz's move WAS so great - that was the clincher fig everyone wanted. When she was put in the elite line everyone complained about how hard she was to find but that kind of backwards has followed the mattel wwe line for pretty much it's entire existence. Ah well what can you do?

I remember them saying that they honestly could not put Miss Elizabeth in the Matty Collector line. It was canned because the sales were so poor. Perhaps they altered the production run in the eleventh hour to reflect those soft sales. But as others have pointed out, it is just speculation.
