Face always reminded me of Madusa in her later years.

Maybe she's not as popular as many seem toWWE make her out to be. I've said for awhile now she's just not anywhere near as over as she's presented. She's respected for her ability but people don't like her the way they do Becky Lynch or Alexa Bliss, or the Bellas for that matter. She doesn't even get Sasha reactions. She's the golden child because of how Triple H feels about her dad but I don't think she's ever been seen as anything more in the eyes of the audience than handpicked. I really don't think there is anything more to it than that. I think plenty of people can say they enjoy her performances but wouldn't necessarily call themselves a fan of hers. It's a great figure. The robe is awesome. What's the excuse? I would argue against that. She had a much easier time getting over because she had the built in gimmick of being the daughter of Ric Flair. But she is outstanding in the ring, she is good on the mic and she just always delivers. Plus she brings some legitimacy to the division. Let’s not forget Banks has had some help too, bringing in Snoop Dogg and them continuing to push her despite some reckless Ring work. I’m definitely a huge Charlotte fan.

I think there were better choices to end Auska's undefeated streak, and better choices to be crowed the new Women's Champion at WrestleMania 32, but she always got the nod. I'm sure if she was in the first women's Money in the Bank and/or Royal Rumble she would have won those, too. But to stay on topic, I believe this is why she's warming the shelf. It's definitely a great looking figure, but you also really have to be a fan of hers to own it.

Because I don't want to pay $20 for a figure with limited playability. The elite women figures tend to be much easier to find than the men.

Honestly i held off on all Charlotte figures until her elite was released
I think its is her best figure and the attire is from a defining moment in my opinion, i threw the divas belt on her and it’s perfect

I think it's a couple of things that makes this figure warm.
1. They made way too many 2. Women's sports entertainment is not as popular as wwe wants us to believe it is 3. These are toys meant for kids and more specifically boys. Boys don't want to play with barbie like toys

Female figures don't always shelfwarm. Elite AJ Lee sold well.. and most first time female basics are hard to find.
My thinking is that there have just been so many Charlotte figures in such a short time, and she's not a wrestler who has wildly different attires every time she wrestles.

Maybe they should always be 1 per case. I’ve yet to see a Mickie James at Walmart or Target’s that have E58. Other factors you guys have mentioned may be true too, like that Charlotte had some basics out already. The NXT Asuka warmed as we know, and probably in part because people already had her E47.

NXT Asuka was solid.. but it wasn't that long ago that I picked up E47, and it's not a super different feeling attire, just color swaps really. This Elite Charlotte was much the same, but came with an excellent robe... and really her most iconic attire, IMHO. The reality is that with around 700 different characters/gimmicks between my Mattel and Jakks collections, I'm not going to purchase a lot of "in between" or average attired figures when the more iconic look of that character is available.

NXT Asuka didn’t sell well around here at all. All three local Targets have at least 4 of her on the pegs. And one of the stores has 6 on the pegs and according to my friend who works there has at least 5 more in the stock room.
And at least 1 of the Elite Alexa Bliss can be found at 3 different Walgreens. TRU had 6 of her until figures went to 50% off. Now they just have 2 Lita and 2 pegs of that last Basic Lana. The Elite Charlotte is 2 deep at both WalMarts and a Target.

well I think around here the women figs don't sell well. Mine has tons of Charlotte, basic Dana, basic Nia, basic Fox, basic Natalya on shelves still.
not as many women figures on shelves than Elite 55 Big Cass figs

It’s a difficult balancing act for Mattel sometimes. They can make dozens of Seth Rollins one after another and we will buy them. Too many Charlottes in a row don’t seem to sell though. Maybe they were just testing the waters with her figure and now will release them with a greater amount of time between each figure?

The robe is awesome. What's the excuse? Nothing but facts. It's the Roman effect. Wwe is gonna push and shove no matter what. If it wasn't for her hollering wooooo all the time, nobody would care...at all. She has talent, but she is lame and boring and generally unappealing. Remember how fast people turned on Roman? Because he was given everything. Well... Last divas champion First women's champion 1st female pick in draft First hell in a cell match and win First iron woman match on raw First ppv main event and win Broke asuka's streak I'm sure I'm missing some of the many things handed to her because of daddy. But a lot of women could have benefited from some of that. Becky. Bayley. Sasha. The rest of the horsewomen that have NEVER been booked consistently.

I totally get what your saying and can’t really deny any of it but to be fair she oozes class and fully deserves any continued push she is given. Flair is on another level to all those other women competitors. She’s arguably the only believable candidate to defeat Ronda Rousey too. I wouldn’t be surprised if WWE plan on having them main event Mania one day.

I wouldn’t be surprised if WWE plan on having them main event Mania one day. Just to add to it, for it to be the Roman effect, she'd have to not be constantly improving and learning new things. Charlotte has a plethora of things she can and does do, and some things she pulls out only for special occasions. Roman knows 7 moves and botches 3 of them regularly. She isn't lame at all. She's amazing and the most talented and dedicated woman they've ever had. By "boring" I assume you mean "not a sex symbol". to which i say "MEH!"

By boring I mean all she ever has to say is genetically superior, woooo, my daddy is the nature boy... She was semi entertaining as a heel, because annoying heels are common. As a face, it's like she is still annoying, but not on purpose. And I so think Roman has improved. He was just so far down that he is still pretty low. But he isn't saying sufferin succotash anymore.

I wouldn’t be surprised if WWE plan on having them main event Mania one day. Ronda rousey brings way more problems than they realize. They have to book her strong. Nobody but Charlotte, asuka or maybe nia will beat her clean for 2 years at least. Problem is she isn't very good. She impressed at mania with nothing but punches and arm drags and hip tosses. So you're gonna job out younger and better stars for something that once the novelty wears off, may very well fail. Gonna hold ember moon back. Probably Alexa bliss. Kairi sane. Best part? Wwe took very loud shots at cm punk after losing his UFC fight. Only problem is his fight lasted 3 times as long as rouseys last fight. And even though he lost badly, he didn't get beat anywhere near as bad as she did. And yet wwe markets her as the baddest woman on the planet. It's gold.
