i was amazed by series 1, series 2 not so much. warrior gets a cloth goods coat but nobody else does!? makes me feel like it's just a $30 elite with a garbage ab crunch..... Mattel makes another line that is aimed more at “cloth goods” obsessive. It’s called Barbie. They do some WWE dolls in that style too, with lots of cloth goods. In wrestling figures though, the Ultimate Edition line has finally figured out how to do jackets properly for toys at this scale.

The Asuka that was going to come out at access would be perfect for this line.
Becky would definitely sell....her Pop preorder shows that!
You would think that Charolette in maybe her Peacock or Wrestlemania 35 robe might sell. However I saw her last Elite hang on the pegs for quite awhile.
Alexa might have sold well a year or so ago but I think she has cooled off significantly.

A properly scaled molded jacket or shirt etc looks better than their cloth goods

Charlotte & Asuka are the only ones right now who should be after Ronda Rousey

A properly scaled molded jacket or shirt etc looks better than their cloth goods It may *sometimes* look better, but it really depends - I think the DM Bret (with cloth jacket) looks just as good, if not better, personally... and things like Sting's and Undertaker's cloth coats look waaaay better than their plastic counterparts.

I’m not disagreeing. I just think properly scaled molded items usually look better since Mattel has a hard time scaling the cloth properly most of the time. The WM 32 Taker is a fine example of that. His coat was way bigger than it should have been

I would gladly buy any and all of them. any women they decided to make in this lin e. But I understand that I am in the minority on this and they will just continue to crank out warriors, rocks, austins, harts, michaels etc. If it sells it sells. I can't fault them for it. But i do wish there was a non kid-centric women's line that had more than two releases per year (walgreens)

I think this'll be the only line I'll buy women wrestlers., cause the elite and basic women articulation smell.

Chyna and Sable I would like to see in the line I know the chances are extremely slim, especially for Sable, but they would make some awesome figures in that line. That statement alone can possibly make this line successful. Imagine, only way to have Chyna and Sable is to purchase their ultimate edition figure.

I feel like the Ultimate Edition like should be reserved for people with elaborate entrance attires that are simply impossible within the main Elite lines budget. So I'd rather not see a Liv Morgan warm the pegs so hard that it kills the entire line, as she has no place there. I know the chances are extremely slim, especially for Sable, but they would make some awesome figures in that line. That statement alone can possibly make this line successful. Imagine, only way to have Chyna and Sable is to purchase their ultimate edition figure. I think you're grossly underestimating just how much of Mattel's audience wants those two. Sure the hardcore collectors would most likely want them, but the average consumer that makes up the majority of the customer base would easily pass on them.

I am wondering if Mattel is having second thoughts on launching with Ronda. Her popularity was fading leading into WrestleMania. Now she’s off TV with no immediate plans on returning. Women typically do not sell well to begin. Put a $30+ price tag on a woman who never really lived up to the hype and is gone from the company then that makes it an even harder sell. I bet she warms harder than Nakamura.

I do think it would have made more sense for this to be her first figure, rather than having an Elite and Basic available already - a lot of people might just make do with them, instead of spending another $30 for this one.

Yeah if they gave her the Goldberg treatment and forced you to buy this figure or nothing else then there would be more incentive to spend $30+ on her.

Honestly with the tanking in popularity of WWE all around I feel like anything outside of classic figures are going to be hard sells

$30 really isint a lot for a figure. guessing not many wrestling collectors buy higher end stuff. that can get pricey
