What’s the deal with WM elite Orton?
It sells out constantly online and every Walmart locally got about 20 in with the shipper, only to all be gone with in a few days.
There’s nothing special about this figure and the paint apps on the face look god awful, so what’s the deal?
Why has it been so hard to find?

Sleeveless hoodies are REALLY in style right now.

Probably because it uses that new face print technology that the Usos and Hasbro ML uses. And while photos don’t do it justice the face is pretty amazing looking in hand.

It may not be the best looking figure, but it is the first current attire Orton in quite some time. I think that's why the figure is popular. I know that's why I picked one up.

Was wondering the same thing....literally like every other Orton rotted..maybe because he changed up his trunks design for like the first time ever? Personally I think it’s a pretty good figure, but not like a sell out everywhere figure

I guess the truth is that even though Orton is a pretty big star, he gets surprisingly few Elites. I mean I've been collecting for four years and we've only had in that time the JR BAF, Elite 35, Elite 49 (flashback) and now this one, which is his first current look Elite in almost 3 years. I suppose that could explain it
Anyway, I was excited to get this figure, looked awesome on card. I opened it and he has no neck when you take the hoodie off... AND the snake on the back of his hoodie had a paint scuff. Was kinda disappointed

I just don't know why they only painted the face with the new method, but the rest is the same bad paint?
The face looks good but he looks like he's wearing a helmet with a chinstrap with that solid brown paint they used for the hair and beard. They should have used shading on his hair and beard and it would have been a much better figure.

I was going to buy it from Amazon, but the beard looks terrible, as usual. I haven't t seen any WM outside of TRU where Orton has always been sold out.

It’s the first modern elite Randy Orton since E35 which I believe came out 3 years ago.

He hasn't had an Elite in years and Walmart is a go to place for casual and non-casual fans to grab figures. His Elites are oddly always in demand. (Even though I think his figures are as boring as he is lol).

Not sure but I'm glad I got mine at retail price instead of crazy money on eBay.

I was at Wal-Mart yesterday and saw about 10 of the new ortons. If anyone is hard up for one PM me and we could try to work something out.

My Walmart is loaded with the Wrestle mania figures. Can't wait till they hit 5$ clearance.

i think he's less per case than the others, plus its the first modern Orton elite since series 35, and Orton is pretty popular overall

I like the figure myself & wanted a modern looking Orton. I’m glad I waited to find it in stores & didn’t order it online. My local Walmart had about 7 of them. 5 of them had awful paint app issues. Another Walmart I went to yesterday had 2, with awful paint app issues as well.

When I found mine, they had probably 5-6 more. I picked the one I thought looked best and I left. I had to go back two days later, so I looked again. And ALL the Orton & Cena figures were gone.
I think it was short packed, which made the online prices higher. Scalpers saw that and flocked to buy as many as possible. Once they hit enough stores, the scalpers are going to eat these because the demand will drop drastically.
