Just because a bunch of males don’t like them doesn’t mean they’re a bad idea to make.

Not being close minded, just realistic about how much of a not so great idea these were . Not a great idea? How not? Girls love dolls, it was a way to get girls more into wrestling, what with the massive push womens wrestling is getting Lets be honest. If getting little girls into wrestling was easy or smart someone else would have done it by now. It’s not exactly reinventing the wheel. Yes women’s wrestling is hotter than ever but with wrestling fans not 8 year old girls.

Same reason other lines die eventually too like rumblers and so many failed jakks lines like unmatched fury and such.

I actually like them! Some kids buy figures/dolls without knowing what they’re from then end up getting into a product. I heard Priscilla Kelky saying she bought her little brother an undertaker figure (because he likes pirates and I guess Taker does kinda look like a pirate). So she ended up buying an undertaker DVD and got hugely into wrestling herself. I’m honestly not sure how long they’ll last. I get the feeling it won’t last very long or they’ll slow down. But I actually really want the 5 pack with Charlotte and Steph in. Also, was the Asuka ultimate fan pack cancelled? Cus that figure looked really nice! Although they’re more cartoony looking, their possibility is actually pretty good when compared to current basics.

Hella surprised this isn't a doctorwhofan thread lol
Have seen some pop up in the WWE section at my Big Lots recently. Don't have any interest in them so I don't know price or specific series or anything...

Despite the close minded comments, I LOVE this series. I grabbed Rhonda as soon as she came up on Amazon. She’s really cool tbh. I’m still waiting for the new 5 pack but it seems to be taking ages. Before this line goes down: I’d still love to see Nia, Riott Squad, IIconics and Mandy Rose made. I think it’d be cool to see the legends actually made! Not just a mock up Liz for Slamfest or whatever they did it for. I think Sherri would make a neat addition to the set. Not being close minded, just realistic about how much of a not so great idea these were . The retros clog my shelves but you don’t see me commenting EVERY retro post about how terrible they are. Just because it’s a terrible idea to you doesn’t mean it’s a terrible idea in general.

I was going to buy my niece a Becky Lynch doll, but I decided against it.

So Mattel is still gonna continue the WWE Superstars doll series? That's so exciting because when I first started my WWE Superstars doll collection it inspired me to become a member here and learn more about them. I also wonder if Mattel will add new Ultimate Fan Pack sets with new figures such as Alicia Fox and Naomi to the line too? Because the Ultimate Fan Pack Sets are so fun with the jewelry and DVDS. I'm shocked that there will be also be a Stephanie McMahon doll be joining the WWE Superstars doll line and I think she will look awesome and that will probably be the first doll i'll grab. Since I've started collecting the WWE Superstars dolls Dad and I started watching Smackdown Live and WWE Monday Night Raw every Monday to see which of the WWE Superstars will be fighting and when Sasha Banks or Ronda Rousey or Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch fight my dad and I always want Sasha Banks to win or Bayley to win because their figures were the very first WWE Superstars figures I bought So happy this line is here to stay

Every time the chicks on the roster talk about their journey to getting there, they all say they were into wrestling as little kids. They can't all be fringe cases, they cant all be lying, and all the little girls you see in the audience is enough indication to me that there's interest and profit in a line like this.
Hera forbid I have kids, but if I did have little girls I'd definitely rather they be into a Becky or Sasha doll than a standard, vapid Barbie.

They're still coming. As a matter of fact, one eBay seller has Ronda Rousey for sale. Bayley and Becky Lynch are in stock on Amazon. Is the Ronda Rousey doll already out Chicago? Because if it is I may have to call my Kmart store and see if they have her yet Thank you for the helpful info Chicago you're truly one in a million to us here

Amazon and Target (online) may have it soon; I'm not sure about Kmart.

I don't think the line itself was a mistake, but there were probably at least a few errors in the execution. It unfortunately banked way too hard on Charlotte and Sasha, neither of whom would appeal to little girls like Alexa Bliss:
*Wave 1 should have been all the Total Diva ladies, as they are more likely to be "over" with the younger female viewers (Brie, Nikki, Naomi, Eva Marie, Lana, Natalya). *Alexa, Mandy, Becky and Bayley should have come out soon after - not Charlottes, Sashas & Asukas, who little girls could give two craps about. *The standard dolls should have been in wrestling gear, not the weird hybrid outfits that the early wave girls were in. *The 5-pack re-releases of the single-pack dolls should been themed as Total Divas packs with the dolls in dresses/evening looks. *Any dolls being repeated should have had different face-ups/hairstyles. Every single early repeat (such as the Bellas, Natalya, etc) has the same exact makeup down to the lipstick color. If they wanted people to buy multiples of the same character, they needed to look different.

My daughter loves the WWE Barbie dolls she got Rhonda via amazon yesterday. If it was not for these she would not have Segwayed into a big fan watching each week

Picked up RR for my wife as a Xmas present via Amazon. So she's been available since about mid-Nov.

If she was still in WWE and getting figures made, I would gladly buy an AJ Lee one with the knee high converse, love bites shirt & pink & black shorts, it would look pretty damn cool. . . I actually really want an AJ one now.
