This is an awesome idea.

Opportunity to get a bike for taker, truck for Austin, ect

so you’d say flex force figures were worse than power slammers?

Can someone tell me what is so bad about this set? The car isn't super realistic, but it looks like a fun toy. And as a long time 6 inch scale collector, it's really nice to see a in scale car. Any half way decent customizer can get rid of that big crack down the middle in a few minutes if its that big of a deal to you.
I know when this comes out I'm getting it. And my daughter and myself are going to have a blast playing with it.

I see people saying zombies didn't bomb. Yet i can walk into a tj maxx, marshalls, five below, ross, gordmans etc and get them for 1/4 of their retail price. It may not have "bombed" exactly. But it isnt a runaway hit either.

Name one of these gimmick lines that didn't bomb ? Zombies - They wouldn’t be getting a third series and spin offs like Mutants and Monsters if they didn’t sell Retros - They’ve had 5-6 series and a ring Tough Talkers - Multiple series and accessories I already mentioned keep the retro and tough talkers because i like them. Zombies, Mutants, Monsters do not sell and i have already made that point. Someone posted pics of zombies marked down to $5 and again to $1 months ago at a walmart. I can buy a few dozen sets of the new monsters, they are not selling period.

most likely not a joke they've made worse stuff thru the years as wrestling merchandise

For 8 years WFigs has been asking about low riders, cars, ambulances etc and Mattel shows off something that can work for them and we bitch about it.

I would repurpose the car as Robin's Redbird. Use your imagination, people.

I can buy a few dozen sets of the new monsters, they are not selling period. They wouldn't keep making new series if they weren't selling. They have to be somewhat profitable for Mattel. Markdowns don't mean anything. Regular elites, basics, battle packs, etc get marked down all the time. I just bought an elite figure at Five Below for $5 and paid $8 for one at Ollies. That doesn't mean no one is buying elites and the series should be cancelled. That being said, sometimes series do fail. But toy companies have to keep putting out new product and see what the kids will want. Sometimes you don't know what will sell until you put it on the market.

I wouldn't mind the car to go with my Legends Eddie. A little paint job could do wonders. I'll give the Lesnar away

I don't mind a line like TBH and maybe could potentially give us a close to accurate motorcycle for Undertaker, a low rider for Eddie Guerrero, Stone Colds zamboni or that thing he would ride around the ring with, and maybe a limo of some sort (might be a stretch judging the scale of the car in that photo). Again don't mind these at all and I just like to see some of these spin off sets.

I think the vehicles are cool. I'm hoping it's not just random cars but things that would make sense like JBL's or DX. I would love an ambulance that we can put the Ringside Collectibles stretcher in.

I can buy a few dozen sets of the new monsters, they are not selling period. Once again, you have proven you have zero idea how retail works. Mattel has absolutely pulled the plug on lines that didn't work and didn't sell. They would NOT have done a third set of zombie figures if the other sets didn't sell. YOU are talking about YOUR area. Mattel sells their figures EVERYWHERE. YOU can NOT judge retail based on your limited scope. PERIOD. We get it. You hate all things Mattel. Step your gimmick up and stop buying their product. And then take it to the next level...and stop posting all that nonsense.
