I'm so used to walking into a local store and finding nothing but shelfwarmers, So I thought, let's talk about shelfwarmers. What figure is the worst shelfwarmer of all time?
I'm going with E33 Cesaro. It warmed so bad that at my local Walmart, they renamed the peg where it says the price, and what the item is-they changed WWE Elite-$19.99 to WWE Cesaro-$19.99
Something to clarify- This is a Mattel shelfwarmers thread, so please don't mention Jakks figures.

Freaking Wyatt D-Bry.
I want it, but I don't want to spend 20 bucks on it, and Walmart won't clearance it. Neither will a Target.

BCA Jacquelin - those were horrid figures and ended Diva's figure production for YEARS!

Maybe the E5 Swagger or E18 Brodus clay warmed pretty hard

Why is Cena on this list? You know he is the most produced one for a reason, no? Cause he's Mattel's highest seller by a longshot. For every 10 on the shelf, 20 have already sold.
Elite 32 Bryan is glued to the shelves. A lot of those you listed, I don't see at all or rarely...Bryan? He's not moving. At all.

That must be a Canada thing, cause I couldn't find that pack at all down here. I looked everywhere for it at the time. |

Every time I go to my local TRU, they still have B16, B22 or something, and BAF Interview stage John Cena. |

My Sears has an E18 Brodus Clay that I don't think will ever sell.
Any combo of Sheamus, Orton, Big Show and Del Rio basics will keep a shelf warm for a long time around my area. And all the Cena figs in red gear haunted shelves until he had gone through about 9 more color changes.

I bought the only one I could find because I couldn't find that set forever. |

Almost all of the Legends figures used to sit back in the day excluding Austin, Road Warriors and most of L3. I would have to say the line as a whole or Bryan and Tito.

Out of the list, I went with my boy D-Bryan. The guy just doesn't move an an Elite. My Target is still full of them.
E39 Sid is getting up there. It's the only new Elite series I can find, and it's always like 8 Sids and maybe a spare Sandow.
Those TRU BAFs warmed like mad. Christian sold well (when he didn't have his belt stolen), but Del Rio, Big Show, Sheamus, Punk, etc. did not.
Basic Mickie James was a huge warmer early on in the line. A bunch of the 2-packs were slow movers, too. Cody/Rey, the original DX (the one they re-did for the 2K game recently), and a few more.
The original HOF set. So many Steamboats, Snukas and Slaughters. Unintentional alliteration there, but those were the big three.
EDIT: How could I forget E12 Orton? That thing stuck around for damn near 2 years.

I don't think Sid would be doing as bad as he is if the figure wasn't so dang disappointing. Too skinny, goofy headsculpt not representative of the overall character. Yes, he made goofy expressions at times, but it really doesn't help they gave him ginger hair either. :/
The jacket is nice at least...a WWF Championship would have helped I think. If they make a WCW black trunks/white boots Luger, I really hope they include the WCW/nWo Championship with him to help it move/get the title back out there.
