Chyna will probably rot on the pegs like her WM figure. But I have no issues with the rest of who they put in this set. That said only Mean Mark and maybe the Edge in white are my “must haves”. I think this Chyna has a better shot at moving, mainly because this is closer to a memorable look for her. Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy they made the Mania figure, but I think women’s champion purple Chyna isn’t definitive for most people. Agreed. Plus the puppet and advertisement for BAF Ellering doesn’t make it appealing to MOC collectors. |

I think the definitive one was the first one in the 2-Pack with Triple H. I think the definitive one is still to be made, and will be her late-1999 prime when she broke out as a singles star and won the IC title, etc. She had a more feminine look too. The closest we've got to this so far is the battle pack with Trish, and that was really just a repaint of the Mania figure with that same terrible face. I also think this Legends one will shift more because a lot of folks are looking to complete the DX Army, it has soft goods and is a more memorable look than the purple. It may be the least popular of the set, but I don't think it will warm. Here in the Houston market, I actually haven't seen any legends warm the pegs other than Weasel Heenan. |

How does anyone expect Chyna to move when the last one sat at Target in huge numbers -- and is still sitting. What a mistake...

Overall yes, but that one was only available in the two-pack with Hunter (that based on it's distribution might as well have been an exclusive given how it was distributed). This is the first time her 1998 DX look will be on store shelves. |

Obviously Mean Mark is a more classic character, but this series is a bit recent-heavy. It's not bad, but it feels different than all the other series so far. Maybe they just want to get the DX Army figs in ASAP. So when we received Legends figures in 2010 depicting looks from the 90s, including the Rock and Stone cold which were from 12 years prior - that's ok because they're "Legends"? Sounds like double standards to me |

A Chyna that goes with the DX set is going to sell better than a Chyna from a squash match that no one cared about.
I do find it funny though. For years people begged for Chyna to be made. Her second figure doesn’t sell well and now everyone is like “Stop making her!” In some cases the same people that complain about lack of first time in the line figures in the series, usually asking for guys that would sell worse than Chyna would. The same ones that complained about Tito sitting despite him being a first time in the line figure. Figure collecting is funny.

The Jakks version sat forever as well. No idea why Mattel thought it was a good idea? Plus, they did a s**t job with the attire. They can't even do a simple metallic attire, what made them think they could pull that off? Horrible. |

It's not criticizing -- I just observed what happened. I hope she does sell well in the new attire -- but I'm still skeptical.

Oh I wasn’t singling you out, I just see that being said a few places. I think this one has a lot more selling power for a few reasons. Time will tell though. |

Feeling like I’m the only one that likes WM series Chyna haha. I’ll take any and all Chynas that they give us. So many years they put her in the doghouse…finally she’s getting her due. Keep em coming and CHYNA FOR WWE HALL OF FAME 2022!

Chyna's most definitive looks are absolutely 97 DX, Mania X7, and No Mercy 99. It's unfortunate they mailed it in on her Mania X7 attire. Still, it's sitting twice as bad as it should be imo. I wouldn't be buying this new legends Chyna if I wasn't collecting all of the DX Army. It's incredibly unnecessary on its own.

Well as I said numerous times prior to Chyna being signed I didn’t want one because my Jakks figure that came with Jericho(?) was good enough for my needs of standing her on a shelf with the DX members. And the only way I would buy one was if she was packed with someone I wanted and seeing I buy at least two of all Triple H figures I ended up with two of the first one. Which is her definitive look to me so that was more than enough for me. The only reason I bought the WM figures because I needed the BAF arms and it was a BOGO sale. Which was the same reason I bought the WM Edge. All three Chyna’s look good I just have no reason/desire for another so I will pass on this one.

I will get Chyna & RD from this set but I'm disappointed with RD...

I was just at a Target in New Jersey -- shelves full of new figures. And they still had 10!! Chyna WM 37s.
That isn't an exaggeration. I cannot imagine the figure would have sold much better in a different attire. I guess we'll see.

LOL. I wish Elites would rot here.
I have a walmart right now with about 6 full pegs of rotting basics, and 3 pegs of ChSd figures that still contain sets from the first wave.
But is there a single Elite to be found? HECK NO.
Oh, wait. I lied. There's about five each of the Hollywood Rock and Cena figures. Because that's what I'm looking for... yep.

I would have gladly bought that WM Chyna if they didn't totally botch her attire. She wore a shiny almost metallic purple/pink that night, and the figure is like a dull lilac. It's the same damn problem they keep having with making SummerSlam '98 HHH - they don't want to invest in premium paints, so we get flat colors instead. I know costs go up, but Jakks pulled it off on $5 BCA figures.
Anyway, the new Chyna is cool, but I'm personally waiting for one of her gloved black & silver studded looks.
