I rarely actually see Cena on shelves. I live in Chicago and I'll see his figures but not just shelf warning. Know why they make so many? Because he sells. Sure, in one set an AJ might sell out faster but the Cena will sell. And again and again and again. He's there for parents to buy their kids.
I see way more Rowans', Titos, DDPs and even Undertaker's shelf warming over Cena.

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 Well, I picked up mine last week. |

Now out of all the wrestlers Mattel has made over the years who would be their worst seller? I'm not talking about a certain figure from a pacific series that has had poor sales I'm talking about a wrestler who none of his/her figures are popular at all. From my experience over the years I have found that these guys usually clog shelves. Alberto Del Rio Sheamus Daniel Bryan Rey Mysterio Mark Henry John Cena (Though Bill insists that he sells well) Chris Jericho Sting Randy Orton Maybe I have missed a few but who in general would be the worst seller? Well first off, those names are big names who are merchandise movers and are pretty popular with fans for the most part. It's just common sense that those guys are made more often and in greater numbers. Second, nobody lives in an area where they can speak definitively as to how the figures are moving even regionally, let alone globally. I personally live in an area that is within easy driving distance to dozens of stores that sell WWE figures and my area is a percent of a percent of the global consumption of these figures. |

Of all time I'd say any figures of Sheamus, Del Rio, Daniel Bryan (despite his popularity his figures sold like crap) and CM Punk (to a certain extent).
For all the crap some fans give the Shield guys, I rarely see figures of them in stores and I figured they'd be shelf warming everywhere.

How has nobody said the 4 Horseman? They have been clogging Targets in high quantities for a long damn time! DDP was a terrible seller as well. I see Defining Moments Undertaker everywhere. It's a good figure but apparently nobody buys it. Bossman isn't doing too well himself These were all slightly different re-releases that very few people wanted. I hope Mattel takes notice. |

I got myself an Elite Sheamus from back in the day.
I wouldn't be opposed to getting Tito, but I would rather pay less than an Elite price. So if it's on discount again in the future, why not? He's not a priority, though.

Tito Santana is probably Target's worst seller.

For all the crap some fans give the Shield guys, I rarely see figures of them in stores and I figured they'd be shelf warming everywhere. Roman especially. Despite the hate his figures are rarely on the shelves in my area and I had a lot of troubling finding him at one point. Rollins and Ambrose sell well too but the recent Elite Ambrose seems to be a slow mover. |

Some really dreadful answers on here. Alberto Del Rio, Sheamus, Dbry, men who have had about 20 figures... ....
they are on shelves, because they are made in super size quantities.
Yes they keep making more.....and it's not because they don't learn there lessons.....they are a billion dollar corporation, and their metrics aren't based on a single Walmart, in middle America......
If I was going to have a bet my money would be here.....
Nikolai Volkov - Legends two pack. A line that DIED big time. Never been released in another form. I've seen hundreds go for peanuts on Ebey, from dodgy sellers.
Kevin Von Erich. - How many of you own that figure? I bet not many. From the last legends line. A wrestler who never wrestled in the WWE, or even the NWA very often.
Big John Studd and Bobby. Who is still waiting for some of those? Seems like the figures that never got ordered by Target, because they were busy selling 11.99 Horseman. Never had a release outside Targets.
Cowboy Bob Orton. - See Nikolai Volkov.....

As well as the SummerSlam BP with Roman and Ambrose at both TRU and Target. |

The answer has to be Sheamus and ADR right? They were the majority of the problem that killed the original BAF Paul Bearer from coming out in the USA.
And Sheamus, didn't Mattel take him out of a Basic lineup all together because there were way to many clogging shelves already?
They are probably the collective worst sellers overall

Oh, I missed my chance.
the Road Warriors, aka Legion of Doom. They wouldn't sell a thing. Just got straight back up.

For the purpose of this thread. The Horsemen set is the worst selling ever. So bad that I only ever saw the Heenan family once and luckily I got it.
