Just wanted to see if It's only in my area but every store I go into has at least 3 female figures when years prior I wouldn't be able to find one ever. I always had to order online but now I can walk in a store and see 4 natties or even 8 lanas at TRU š³ And even charlotte elite I seen in every target near me but everyone else in the series is sold out. Are they packing the girls more ? Or just not selling as much? Or cause there is so many released ?

Not that it's a bad thing too, I wish it was like this when I purchased every diva released but now I just stick to the Bella's and Carmella and Naomi so not so exciting recently š

It's because scalping basics doesn't draw money anymore. The new women look awful and there's no money in reselling them now. The women are going to shelfwarm a lot more now
Even E54 Charlotte isn't hard to find too but I'm sure it's related to he articulation. There's no other reason all my Walmarts would randomly start having tons of basic Natalya figures

Yes, more then ever since those dolls came out. The dolls actually sell pretty well around me. They never "sell out" but they are selling through more than the females from the regular line |

From ā07-ā14, it was really hard to find women in retail in my area. You could tell when a store just put out a fresh case because thereād be two females (or one depending on the amount of cases).
I donāt think weāll ever see a Jacqueline, Moolah or GAB Torrie situation, however I think weāll see them a lot more now. Especially since we are getting a lot of already done girls. I really was hoping Peyton or Billie would be apart of the latest Basic lines. Iām at least glad to see Billie in the NXT set. I didnāt think weād see yet another Sasha, Becky, Dana (why??), Nia or Alicia (though sheās very overdue). At one point we had every female on roster! But now we gotta wait for Riott Squad and Absolution to hit.
And I agree with those above, articulation is really putting a damper on things. Though the females really should have been made like that from the start. It makes me wonder why we all went crazy after Elite women when there was no difference. Sans for Asuka and AJ who had detailed outfits. I know Iām not doing flea market prices for them anymore! $30-$35 for a new era TTL is crazy lol

And when it comes to the articulation I might be in the minority but it doesn't bother me. I picked up a nattie today just so I could see it in person and I liked it. |

I see them a lot more than I used to. I would never really find them but recently stores have been pretty well stocked. I guess itās because more women are getting released and in more waves

That basic Lana I've been seeing a lot and see the basic Nattie and Nia Jax pretty often.
Not so much Elite 54 Charllote though. I've only seen her once or twice. At one Wal-Mart they had the whole Elite 54 set except her.
Also saw the new Wrestlemania basics the other day and they had a couple of everyone in the set but not a single Bayley.
Eva Maria seems to be the NXT basic I've seen the least but maybe that's because people know it's her last figure and grab it right away. NXT Elite 2 Asuka is everywhere though.

Diva figures are shelf warming ridiculously hard in my area. It's beyond frustrating. Someone please for the love of God come buy this crap.

Because they make more now because more people buy them.

A lot of the divas coming out lately have been repeats as well. Most of those have had several other figures.

I really donāt think kids care about their articulation, as much as collectors do.
The reason why there are more on the shelves is due to the higher rate of production. We are getting more than we ever have and they are packed more heavy.

It's ridiculous that we still don't have Sherri, Luna, or Madusa/Alundra Blayze.

All stores now have more female dolls. They have about a third, if not more if the shelf space dedicated to divas. Most TRU have an end cap display for the new female fashion dolls.
I'm not a fan.
