So 5 years have passed since Adam Rose and The Bunny made their impact on WWE TV meaning we can now discuss it. They were hot for a week or two then Vince gave up on Rose and relegated him to an enhancement role. After debuting in NXT with the intention to fast track him to the main roster, the character had potential. However, it was one of the early cases of an over NXT act not translating to the RAW audience.

It’s posts like this that make me wish the rule was 25 years! lol
The whole cheap Russell Brand gimmick was pure garbage as was the bunny and the rest of the Rose buds. I was glad when that ended.

As a Brit, may I apologise for you and the rest of the US being infected with Russell Brand, James Corden and especially Piers Morgan. If it's any consolation, they aren't well liked here either. |

That whole character epitomized a gimmick that could get over in NXT, but never stood a chance on the big WWE stage. It had a brief shelf life from the moment he debuted.
Heard he left on questionable terms and was in a very dark place, but has since turned his life around. Judging by some recent pics, he's surely been busy taking his vitamins and drinking milk.

The real travesty is that Mattel spent valuable tooling dollars to create molds to mass produce The Bunny, due to some vocal minority demands for it on here. Be careful what you wish for.

It was so unique and the demand was huge. Not sure how much that translated to sales. But yeah I can only imagine how much they spent tooling that fig |

Im willing to bet the stupid Panda from the SDCC Joker box sold more then the bunny did. Both used the same body. Its a shame Mattel will give us a  ing Bunny & a Panda but we cant get a giant Turkey. |

Who exactly were part of this huge demand?? Why can't these same number of people demand King Harley Race to be released again?? I highly doubt there was an actual demand for this silly rabbit. I think this is one of those Vince ideas, or maybe Mattel thought it would be funny enough to sell, but failed.
I want King Harley Race!!

Who exactly were part of this huge demand?? All over this forum at the time. Would have been popular with the younger market too no doubt. The fact they were both off TV by the time the figure eventually came out didn't help though. |

And for me, because, well, I don't want Mabel or Duggan in my collection, since they don't have robes / capes. Lllleeeetttt'ssss demand King Harley Race!! |

All I can say is that I didn't buy the Adam Rose Battlepack with the Bunny. I only saw it once at retail. However The Bunny is a Furry

When Wal-Mart last received their shipment of restock (holiday 2017, I believe it was) the Rose Bunny BPs haunted my store for months.
I mentioned before elsewhere that for the heck of it, I should have purchased one and swapped an Ambrose head onto it.

I was part of the bunny demand and still like this figure, don't care what anyone says. I even bought 2 of them so one could have no vest. Wish we would get gobbledy as well
