I have been collecting since 2009, and never in my entire life have I ever seen an (assumingly) MOC elite from Ringside for only $2.99. The thing is, Sami Zayn is a current performer and was in the main event picture earlier this year on SD Live. How did his figure flop as hard as it did? It even comes with a cloth shirt

WWE has watered him down so much compared to when he was in the indies & maybe his elite should of been one per case...Harley Race! 🙁

Headscan is not great and is rather large.
Other than that it’s a good figure.

Boring attires, pretty boring character. Only interesting thing he's done on the main roster is team with KO

Sami's look never really changes all that much. Lil here, lil there, but nothing drastic. Once you have one Sami, you really don't have to buy another.

All of E51 is, or at least was, ridiculously cheap on ringside. Even that sweet Scott Hall, which is one of mattels best figs ever imo, was below $10.
I think that set got over produced or RSC got way too much of Elite 51, and Zayn is probably the least desirable of the set, which led to him being so plentiful that they dropped him to record low prices.
That figure has topped the RSC top 10 best sellers for like a month straight now, all during Christmas season, and they still have it in stock for dirt cheap. That's how you know they have wayy too many

I don't think there was anything special about this figure, so it became a tough sell. I only have his first Elite because it was from an NXT look, and with an NXT Title.

Ya that was a great deal on that one. 3.99 for Berzerker was a awesome price as well. I picked up quite a few figures they had for 7.99 or cheaper, mostly for belts and accessories.

I think everyone has summed up why this is so cheap. Sami is awesome, but he’s not the most exciting action figure. I have his first one from his NXT days, but had no interest in another one until E63. Even for $3 I didn’t include E51 on my Christmas list cause I wanted E63 instead.

It’s great for custom fodder though 👌🏻

Wasn’t it his 3rd or 4th elite in a short period of time with not much differentiation from his previous releases?

I only bought it for the accessories, the shirt and hat look great on the Elite 40. But it worked out in the end because with the Elite 2 Batista Referee shirt and the Elite 4 Kofi pants, he makes a perfect Referee.

I love Sami. Not sure why people don’t.

His Elite 40 stuck around way too long and then they filled the shelves with his TNF figure and then his Elite 51 figure hit...I think he had a basic or two around the same time as well...Way too much way to soon for a guy who essentially is enhancement talent.

That and E63 has the best headscan since the first elite Zayn, every single one in between hasn't looked like him at all to me.
