From Fightful,
“Cody Rhodes' Mattel Creations Ultimate Edition figure was also announced, and sold incredibly well, very quickly. We're told it was one of the highest pre-order totals since WWE and Mattel's relationship started”

Other than the New Gen ring, when has Mattel done anything like the Ultimate Cody to even compare it to? All of the SDCC exclusives were capped and sold out in minutes. Wouldn't it be the most successful pre-order by default?

Steve doesn't share those types of numbers. |

Makes sense considering it was a one week window for it. And unlimited orders.

Steve doesn't share those types of numbers. They don't share it with *us* but I'm sure the numbers are regularly shared between WWE and Mattel. WWE is likely receiving a percentage of every figure, and those numbers are going to be subject to audit from either side to ensure the numbers are accurate. Plus I'm sure WWE's marketing/PR team would want to promote those numbers internally. It's the kind of "pat yourself on the back" stuff that happens in any big company, or for department heads and managers to try to look good to their bosses. It doesn't mean Steve went leaking to some dirt sheet. But there would be plenty of people internally who would have that kind of data, and would benefit from good news getting around. But like the other post mentioned - there's really no comparison, so it being the highest selling doesn't really mean anything. But it sure sounds good, and perception is reality in many corporations. |

I just don't trust fightful 😂 |

What a weird thing to be upset about. Also, Fightful is usually pretty reliable.
