What's people's problem with these? If you don't like them, don't buy them. I don't think they're aimed at 30+ year old dudes, anyway.
And we've been over it a million times, NO these don't take money away from the Elite line, NO these aren't the reason Basics lost the bicep swivel, NO if the dolls get cancelled we won't get cloth t-shirts with every figure....
The dolls do no harm.

I’m tired of y’all hating on these just because you “don’t collect girl stuff.” Get over your masculinity. NOT EVERYTHING MATTEL MAKES IS TARGETED FOR GROWN MEN! C. Psycho Sid warmed Walmart shelves like crazy. They practically gave Retros away at my Walmart. Vaudevillians everywhere! It’s not just these dolls that warm. All this boils down to is that too many of y’all here don’t like that these “Barbie” are displayed with the “boys toys.” It’s 2019. Get over it. Some people like these. Deal. Move on. Thanks!

Some people like these. Deal. Move on. Thanks! With King Harley Race being the hottest toy last Christmas, it goes without saying that Mattel should scrap the Superstars Dolls series and launch an Elite First Time in the Line Legends series featuring wrestlers from the 1920s to the Attitude Era in its place. Mattel should also turn down monetary offers from Walmart and Target for some of these figures to be store exclusives and they will only be sold online through Amazon and Ringside Collectibles. Jakks UFC has been outselling Mattel WWE for 9 years now and things have got to change.

I'd gladly take all the Retro figures off their hands if they were so desperate. They never had a chance to warm or be given away here since my Walmart only got them in one time. That goes for Series 4 and 5 also that I couldn't even find at the discount stores during Christmas time. I hear you if you're talking Series 3 since ya know, it's the only thing Target ever puts out lol.

My 4 year old niece likes them. Mattel did it smart much like the DC girls they targeted females for this line. If you get a doll collector that likes WWE chances are their all over the line. I bought some the figures that I liked for myself and the dolls for my niece. The trouble is that like every line the first wave was massively over-produced and TRU had a 6 month exclusive before other stores got the same wave. The newer waves are a little harder to get.

I hear you if you're talking Series 3 since ya know, it's the only thing Target ever puts out lol. Nah mainly just the first wave. Literally KO, Cena and Warrior clogged my shelves for months! Actually, for awhile, a single peg of KO and Cena were the only WWE figures at my Walmart! I bet for a solid month! I think it seriously depends on your areas guys. Just because things don’t sell at your stores doesn’t mean it’s an ultimate failure. With TRU gone, I can’t find these dolls anywhere! I’m actually mad because I still need Alexa, both Bayleys, Asuka and the new Becky. I have to order offline and I just don’t like doing that tbh! I just don’t like all the hate I see on here. I don’t think some of you realize the target audience for these items! It’s like if you took your spouse out to Chucky Cheese for a date night. Of coarse it’s gonna be lame because the place isn’t targeted for your age. These dolls are targeted for younger girls. Mattel has done really well with targeting everyone! Little kids and grown ups. So let us have our Monsters and Zombies, Let ya have our dolls and basics. We’ll let you have your Retros and them increasingly difficult to find Elites. LET EVERYONE ENJOY THEIR FIGURES!

I agree with what your saying here 100% man. I only collect elites but I collect guys and girls. Hell I can't wait for a Ronda, Shayna, Ruby. Toni Storm and Rhea Ripley too when we get them. That must mean I collect barbie dolls too. Lol.😂

Hoping for Mickie James and Maryse this year! Same! I’m really hoping they just cut down to the deluxe versions. I like having street clothing and wrestling gear.

Yeah, I only really like the wrestling attire to be honest. Alexa Blisses knuckle duster/hand ring pieces are really nice. I have a few of the ones that only come in street clothes too but mostly those who haven’t got a ring gear yet like Asuk, Alicia, Carmella, Lana and Eva. I wonder who else they’ll make if they’re still making them that is. Cus I really want that 5 pack!

Me too! I think they’re just backed up because TRU closed and that was the main place for them. I’ve seen a few dolls at Meijer and Target but not the volume TRU had. So maybe Mattel is just looking for the right place to put it! I want that Stephanie!!!
