Last year in my area, there were almost no basics (and in some cases, no figures at all) during the Christmas shopping season. Not a problem this year, as almost every Walmart I visited got cases of basic 87 along with basic 81 to keep the pegs alive.
Here at my local Walmart, nothing can stop "Charlotte-Mania" from running wild! Not Black Friday, not Christmas Eve, no nothing. This particular Walmart has had Elite 54 Charlotte on the pegs since February, and 3 still remain. Back in October, basic 86 Charlotte showed up to keep her company. Not that they are bad figures, but that is what happened.
Elite 54 Charlotte is the biggest retail bust of the year around here, with NXT "Shower-Time" Rusev running a close 2nd at every Target.
Thankfully, the Christmas shoppers have almost eliminated the Wrestlemania stuff at this particular location, with a John Cena/Nikka Bella Battle Pack still remaining in the final hours. These Battle Packs lasted longer than their engagement I think.
The other stuff sold pretty well. What does retail look like in your neck of the woods?

That basic figure probably sits because of the Beetlejuice shrunken head it has.

It's a shame Mattel double-packed the E54 figure, so she's still warming pegs... it's a great figure. Same issue with the E54 Alexa Bliss too.

Only figures at my store last night were the Fan Central elites, basics, and battle packs that were only just put out.

Her elite figure warmed so hard, maybe even more so then Elite Junkyard Dog.

Ha! That's perfect. What a blunder that figure was. Charlotte has fans, every wrestler does, but she doesn't have the large passionate fan base needed to move a lot of merchandise. Vince has pushed her as the face of the division and the greatest women's wrestler of all time, but she still only has 12 items for sale on WWE Shop. In comparison: Alexa - 55, Ronda - 46, Sasha - 40, Asuka - 29, Bayley - 26 & Becky 23. If Charlotte could sell more, she would have more. But she can't, so she doesn't. (there is a possible 4 or 5 item margin of error in these numbers as not every item is 'attached' to the superstar's listing as it should be) While this is by no means a true scientific indication of a wrestlers popularity, it is a pretty good indicator of which Superstars fans are willing to spend money on.

Hold the shoe phone just a second! Are you telling me you took a picture at a Walmart and the Ellsworth Elite isn't in it? Ok admit it, you took him off the pegs before you took that picture didn't you?

Charlotte has 3 points of appeal. 1. People that love her because of her last name 2. People that just like to yell woohoo 3. The fact that her boobs keep getting shoved more and more in our faces. That's it. A lot of people are over her.

I know a lot of people have something against Charlotte nowadays, but why? Is it too much of her? Cause she’s really freakin good in all aspects as far as I’m concerned. Best match of Mania IMO, against Asuka, and probably the best main roster match of the year against Becky at Evolution.

I don't know why the e54 Charlotte us clogging pegs, I bought 2 for myself. It's a really good figure, people are really fickle.

Her last woman standing match was incredible.

I'm not a Charlotte mark, but she's entertaining out there so I bought the robed fig. That's usually how I decide what figs to buy, but it also helps me decide when the figure looks like total butt lol
