Double-packing Alexa and Charlotte in the Elite line was a pretty stupid idea to begin with...

Man times have changed, I remember when divas were short packed and near impossible to find.

I don't care, I got mine. I'm a bit annoyed that the basic 86 head wasn't used on it, though. 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? 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. The rest of the horsewomen aren't as good. I don't know what he's been watching, but there's not one iota of fact in punksnotdead's post. Also, it's nothing like the "Roman effect". The fans rejected Roman, not only because he was handpicked - but because he's mediocre, and there are more talented and deserving people on the roster, worthy of that spot. That doesn't apply to Charlotte. In terms of all around ability, there's no woman in the company better than her - which is why her push is justified, and why she's been endorsed and embraced by the audience, rather than shunned. I don't think the crowd see Charlotte as handpicked at all.

She ain't shelf-warming around me. She did move slowly since she was double-packed, but now I can't find her anywhere. I wish I'd picked her up when I had the chance. Maybe at the next Ringside sale...

Mattel overestimated the interest in women figures and in charlotte
I also think it has to do with her being more appealing to adult fans, than to kids.

Charlotte isn't warming that bad near me. The female figures in the basic line are the ones really warming, hell basics in general have taken a dive. Only Styles and Nak seem to sell well. I don't do basics anymore unless it's a suited figure, to me the quality has really went downhill. Plus I'd rather use that money on some Marvel Legends.

Charlotte also doesn’t injure others like Banks, and is way more consistent both in the ring and on the mic along with a better look than Bayley and Becky.

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. 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. There’s a big difference between the level of competition Rousey had and CM Punk has had. There’s a lot less shame in being TKO’d by the current champion of the world. Amanda Nunes is a complete destroyer. Punk on the other hand has taken years to train, only to lose embarrassingly to a 1-0 newbie, who may or may not even be UFC caliber.

And rousey was training long before punk ever dreamed of it. So competition should be different. Her last 2 fights if you wanna be honest have been 1 sided beatings. And holly holm is 1-4 since then. She isn't nearly as good as people thought.

The female figures warm the pegs like crazy around here. The only exception I've ever seen were both Elizabeth figures, and AJ Lee, Sasha Banks, and Asuka's first Elites.

Honestly, let’s not discuss mma on here.. it’s embarrassing. Rhonda was a beast and catapulted women’s mma to the mainstream, far more than Gina carano ever did. She was a powerhouse and is a legit world class judo practitioner. She got swept up in Hollywood and obviously lost site of her mma career. They put her in their with some pit bulls and it was obviously her time to step away. Losing does nothing to ones legacy. Rousey will forever be touted as one of the best women’s mma fights. You can’t dismiss mickey Gall as 1-0 newbie. He was training in boxing and bjj since he was a young teen. He also won his 3 amateur fights, which from experience..is not a joke. Gall vs punk was nowhere near an even fight

Just like plenty of others have said I think 2 per case didn't do it any favors and its not many kids gonna buy a woman figure. I don't think the problem was her being well liked or popular I think shes both but look at Bliss's elite they didn't sell much better and imo she about the most popular woman that's been in the WWE.

She is nothing compared to the shelfwarmer Big Cass is gonna be. They took Enzo out and I think they triple-packed him. He's gonna be hanging around for a while.

Its the opposite at the Walmart in my town. A month ago, there were 3 cass and 2 charlotte. Cass is gone and Charlotte is still there. Charlotte been there a few months now that I think about it.

Not hard to beat Sasha's receding hairline or whatever the hell Bayley's look is. The robe/peacock thing is a good look

She’s warming near me but I think it’s because of a few reasons. First as been mentioned already, the women aren’t as popular as the men among kids, the figure was double packed, and for some reason stores got numerous cases of that elite series. Weird too considering other series have only been stocked once or completely skipped here. Simply, I think those that wanted her already have her.
