I have no complaints with the design of the figure, accessories, paint apps, etc.
But this figure haunts me.
Everywhere I go, there he is, taunting me. The only Elite figure on the shelves in many cases.
Yesterday, I went to a Target that had SEVEN E77 AJ figures, and one Rude. Nobody else. How is that even possible? What sort of case mix are we looking at here?
To make this more of a topic than just a complaint, anybody else have this experience, where there's just one figure warming the pegs at every store in town?

Yeah I see at least 3-4 in every Walmart and target in the Nashville area. Even when they were on sale for $13.99 they still didn’t move.

He and the Fiend were packed 2 per case so it's not surprising to see him warming. Not sure if putting Rude as an anchor instead would have been a better option but he would be the only other from this series that would make sense. Those 7 A.J's means they got 4 cases of 77 and one A.J sold.

Same. Yesterday at Target it was just 5 AJ 77 and 4 AJ Top Picks. Mattel should never make another Styles elite again.

AJ is warming in my area of Glasgow too. My local shopping centre has an A1 Toys and an Entertainer store and they’re full of AJ’s. Last time I was there there was at least 12 Elite 54(?) AJ and A1 have tons of the latest Elite. I love AJ figures, but they are everywhere and I have no need for any more.

I’ll complain for you then, why the hell did they change his knee pads to the medium closed back ones? And of all figures to do it on they chose the only elite with knee pad deco

AJ changes his gear so much, and his gear is very toyetic. Combine that with being a top guy. Unfortunately Mattel doesn’t seem to want to spread the releases out. Depending where you go, there’s at least 4 different Elite AJs you could see. And this is not even factoring the Basics and Battle Packs he’s in.
For some reason my Target keeps restocking that very first Top Picks set. So I feel the same way about that AJ as you feel about E77.

You know they have an ultimate edition planned haha It would be supremely funny if Mattel were so bad at reading the room they dropped a UE AJ instead of someone who would probably sell, like Roman or Orton or like ing...anyone besides the crew of him, Rollins and Balor that rots everywhere they show up.

As much as I like AJ as a talent, he drives me nuts as a figure.
Everywhere I go I see E77, his old Top Picks, and various basics. It’s more an AJ Styles section than it is a wrestling or WWE section!!!!!!

Does Rollins warm? More times than not, at least in my area, when Rollins is in a set, I’ll see everyone else in that set, except for Rollins.

Mattel needs to cool it on the AJ Styles figures for a while

Seth, Finn and AJ are all I ever see here in Australia these days. And a few lingering Ellsworth in a couple of stores.

But nowhere near AJs level, at least here.
