I see Defining Moments Undertaker everywhere. It's a good figure but apparently nobody buys it. Hope that won't be Bill's excuse for the lack of a WM14 Taker.

Oh come on? John Cena? He is their BIGGEST seller. For every figure on the shelf he's probably sold 4. Those you listed are amongst the best sellers. I just find it hard to believe that someone who rots shelves is Mattel's top seller. I could guarantee you that if John Cena and AJ Styles were in the same set AJ would sell out instantly while Cena would be hanging for months. I understand Elite Cena's selling but come on 90% of basic Cena's are the same so would a kid really want 2 figures that look identical.

When people make definitive statemenmts, based on their local store, It really does make me cringe.
Not one person here knows the answer.
John cena? are you sure?!??!?! They have made 120 varieties of him for a reason.
Outlaw I fear for your future wellbeing. Be careful around open water and flammables....
If they make 100,000 John Cena's, and 2000 sit on shelves. And They make 20000 AJ Styles, and 1000 sit on shelves. Who is the worst seller?

You're struggling to see purchasing wrestling figures from any perspective other than your own. But the reality is that every day there are kids buying their first wrestling figure, and more often than not, the figure they will buy is John Cena. That's why they make more Cenas than anyone else. Same reason the DC superhero toy lines have more Batman and Superman than Riddler or Catwoman. In time, Finn Balor or Roman Reigns or someone else may take over Cena's spot as the top WWE toy seller. But it's silliness to think that Cena hasn't been Mattel's top seller thus far.

It's impossible to gauge just on anecdotal evidence from your local store. Especially because different figures are produced and packed in different quantities. I mean, of course there are tons of Cenas on the shelves - they always want figures of him easily available, so they produce tons.
Something I've always wondered, though: how well does Daniel Bryan sell? I always see him clogging the pegs locally, but is that a Cena case where they were just shipping more of him than others? Or did his sales drop because of his retirement?

I understand Elite Cena's selling but come on 90% of basic Cena's are the same so would a kid really want 2 figures that look identical. When I was a kid I had figures that looked essentially the same. Little to no differences. I'm sure I wasn't the only kid either. And I doubt that has changed. My nephew has like 10 Buzz Lightyear figures that are basically the same. Cena is Mattel-WWE's top seller. Regardless of what any of us think.

Seeing as I only collect legends and flashbacks I'd say Tito.
While I can imagine Triple H has sold well, his Spotlight has warmed my local TRU like you wouldn't believe.

Yeah mine's the same and kids probably aren't familiar with that gimmick. His WM31 Elite figure seems to sell pretty well in my area.

Mattel could never release an updated figure of him because his hair and beard were constantly growing.

I'd say warrior , Daniel Bryan , and brodus clay , but to DB defense , they put him 2 per case and he didn't sell good as it is , his e28 sat for days , then e32 is still rotting , gladly they e38 didn't sit as bad , but warrior really doesn't sell , I thought e26 was bad but Hof warrior sat , not counting all the basics of his that rott , and now the DM is really sitting , but brodus sat at walmart until they clearance him for 5.00

They were flooding the market with Ortons so thankful they cut back and he started to move better

Bossman isn't doing too well himself
Edit: before someone makes a joke about Bossman's current status as a non-living entity, I meant his figures

John Cena. That guy doesn't sell for sh*t and always kicks out at 2...
4 pages and I bet someone's already made that joke. Ok then, I'll see myself out.
