Does anyone even buy Flexforce ? I mean seriously they look awful and they barely move, and there the only figures ever on the shelves in any of my local stores. So does anyone even buy them ?

I do buy the figures of guys I can't find. Note that I live in Canada and this town is verybad at getting figures. are last elites were Elite 6 last year. So I bought Wade Barrett, Del Rio, and Sin Cara. The figures really suck.

Someone must be buying them because Mattel has said they are Mattel's #1 selling WWE line. Which means that is what the retailers keep ordering the most from them. And I must say I've seen every new wave of FF show up at my local TRU & WalMarts and all that's left there now are the last wave (Rock/Del Rio/Christian) so someone must be buying them as all the other waves are gone. And other than the HHH's, Ortons & the last Punk with E11 head I've not bought them.

If my daughter sees an Elite that I have that she would want I'll get her either a Basic or Flex Force version of the same guy.
I can't see spending nearly $20 for a figure so she can throw it around the room and kick it like a football.
You have to admit Flex Force does get the shaft in a way for kids who might actually like FF. They never make fatter guys like Mark Henry in FF form, and good luck finding a hot character in FF form. I almost caved and got an FF CM Punk /w short hair when I couldn't find E11 Punk, but the lack of tattoos made it a NO SALE for me. He is next to near impossible to find now.

Sorry to double post, but I think Mattel should at least do away with the FF Lightning line. $15 is a little pricey for an ugly POS that has a outworldy feature. They are this generations WCW figures with the vibrating action feature

WWE hardly goes fast in my area, but as FF is concerned i see pegs filled with it, so im not so sure kids are buying them. Our top sellers have to be the basics... everytime i go now , basics leave pegs. Yes there are some older ones still there, however no kid wants a series 1 Rey Mysterio. its outdated to them and is in reality.. so personally im not sure how Mattel is moving FF .. it seems like a flop to me.. but im not inside the numbers so i guess i have no clue really..lol.

I can confidently say from my expiriences with my nephews & godsons and their friends that they arent popular at all here.
plus my friend who works at smyths in a managament position says they are a very weak seller.

Nope, never did, and will never do!
Even my 6 yeard old little nephew thinks they're crap, and he should be the exact target Mattel is aiming for when making FF figures!

Its annoying walking into a store going to the wrestling section and seeing a bunch of Kofi Kingston and John Cena Flexforces that no one ever buys, I cant believe there top seller If I was a kid I wouldn't want a crapty Flexforce, and I've never saw anyone buy one...ever.

God I hate Flex-Force, I wish my Asda would get Basic Figures... or even Elites in! That would be great.
I don't mind the Flex-Force lines, but the versions like the Lightning series are terrible and pointless.

People probably just buy them for the accessories.

They sell okay in my area, but there is always a good many on the shelves. I bought some early on for my kid, but he quickly realized they stink. He prefers elites to play with. Some do have good accessories.

I can see kids buying them. I remember when I was young I always liked figures that can do some kind of action. But now, I would never touch those things haha!

I have 1 flex force just for some weapons and that's all. I hate them and wish they were replaced with anything else.
