To me that's baffling to think about. So many career defining moments, so many different attires and just three elites.
If I was deciding on the line ups Charlotte should have one elite figure a year.

I feel like you're trying to tell us you don't want more Muhammad Ali figures.

Not really. Her figures generally don't sell very well and she's always off TV for long periods of time.

Well, we've been discussing in a different thread that Main Line Elites seem to be dwindling recently...
If they put out the full yearly series - we should get 6 sets per year, and about 6 figures in each set - so that's 36 Main Line Elite figures per year.
With WWE's vast roster, men/women/legends/celebrities, limited to 36 figures per year... I'd say 1 per year isn't too bad.
I also noticed that Charlotte's E92 was hitting the clearance stores (Ollie's) pretty hard - I got one for $6 and they had a lot at the clearance store.
Now.... FINDING where to buy these 36 Elites annually is a whole different story.... but I think Charlotte's not doing too bad relatively speaking?

It feels like she kind of got shafted for a long time by the E54 figure having to fill the Rich Swann gap. Her Ultimate seemed like it was very well received. But then the Elite Ultimate in 92 didn't do well, I guess? Maybe people just wanted one good figure of her and that was that. But yeah, I can't imagine she sells as well as someone more popular like Becky or Rhea, or someone more obviously toyetic like Asuka. |

I understand why they would have only initially limited the Women's figures to just the Basic line. But the Women's division as a whole is a bigger deal in WWE now. Their World title matches at Wrestlemania/Summerslam are some of the biggest matches on the card, they have their own Royal Rumble now. And Charlotte Flair could be considered the John Cena of the division. I guess you can't put her in a robe outside of the Ultimate Editions because it eats up alot of the budget, so it's difficult to get ideas to use accessories for her Elites. But I mean, she should be in either the next Royal Rumble or Wrestlemania set, with Build a figure accessories. |

She's heavily pushed. I don't think that necessarily means she's popular. Her first Elite was on shelves forever even with a great robe. The subsequent Elites didn't seem much better, though the Survivor Series wave never even hit stores as far as I can tell.
I think she's much better placed having fewer figures but getting premium treatments when made. Her UE is a great figure, but without the robe would have been an easy pass.
We'll see where she slots in with HHH's booking. But I can't see a huge argument for including her more than she has been moving forward.

Well if you factor in the PPV sets, Top Picks, & Greatest Hits, - you get a lot closer to 54 per year. If you add Store Exclusives you get a lot more, but Charlotte wouldn't qualify for a "Monday Night Wars" and might not quite be ready for the "Legends" line just yet.... |

It hasn’t been 6 per year for years, they’re up to like 8 or 9 now |

Well for example last year's mainline wave is considered Elite 97-104 so not including the Chase figures that leaves 48 spots. |

Charlotte has had the same look for years so I don’t think regular figures are necessarily needed. Most of her figures are great too so I don’t feel like I need more.
Bayley on the other hand definitely needs more figures. Her elite 109 look was legitimately from 2 years ago and she isn’t even in Damage Control anymore now.

I'm kinda surprised at that because she's been around for so long? 3 elites isn't a lot for 8/9 years

To me, I've always assumed they don't make Charlottes because they can't.
I mean, they can, but they can't make the Elites people want.
Charlotte's signature, like her dad's, is her robes.
They have been able to do ONE robed Elite Charlotte and that was doomed upon release. Now, with the way that the figures have taken a huge hit in budget (so it seems), you just can't make robed Charlottes in the Elite line anymore. And without the robe? There isn't a whole lot about her figures that would stand out at all. They're actually *really* boring attires outside of a few rare standouts.
Why would they give spots to an unrobed Charlotte that is so unsatisfying that nobody wants it, when you can make someone like Kairi Sane who has amazing, iconic, and yes, toyetic gear that is gonna catch people's eye and maybe get people who wouldn't normally buy women's figures to give her a shot?
