No, nobody buys FlexForce. Mattel keeps producing them just as part of the conspiracy against collectors.

Don't own a single one and never plan on it. I guess they might be popular with kids, but even still I always see a ton at all my stores.

Haven't seen that much flexforce to be honest, except at Asda. A1 dont stock them greatly although they still had a couple last time I was in. Toys r us just got flexforce lighting and god they are awful.

people on here wont, cause kids do, and kids aint on here. Its that simple, we collect figures, kids play with toys, flex force are toys.
im sick of this keep being sdaid !! hasbro's are the same, wcw figs are, limited in posability but have an 'action feature', yet people still like hasbros, even though they look rediculous and not lifelike, yet these are lifelilke and theyre hated on >.<

Theyre  ing toys !!!!! you choose gto collect toys, but when an actual toy comes out, theyre not thinking of collectors, JUST THE KIDS, toys are for kids, kids play with toys, flex force are toys not a collectable !! Mattel arent 100% interested in collectors, and are mostly for toys which is why we collectors get RSC exclusives |

They sell well enough to stay around, which is more than can be said about Legends, Legends on Matty, Entrance Greats & Defining Moments.
Regular, single carded FF sell fine. The FF brand extensions(talking/sound & now Lightning) did/do not sell that well.

I have 3: Orton, Miz, Y2J and they are pretty bad. Every store I walk into has the same ones just sitting on the pegs. They don't sell around here so I don't know who is buying them. I do enjoy the Rumblers though.

I like to keep them all MOC. There is collector value to these that I overlooked. They are the only WWE figures that can be played with while staying MOC. |

This reminds me, has anyone bought the High Flyin' Fury ring? I want to see the ladder.  . But back onto the whole fexforce topic. I only bought the first sets that had accessories and sold them on ebay. The flexforces with accessories are the only ones I am interested in. |

I would prefer more elites and basics in stores but whatever, at least its nice to see them ordering some new Mattel WWE stuff even if I dont want it.

I don"t get how they are selling so well, but they must be somehow...they clog shelves around me, and are more expensive than basics. Pretty awful product in general and I don't know any children who would prefer them too a basic or elite, my son makes fun of them when we see them in stores.

The only people I ever see buying FlexForce are the uninformed Grandparents. Really. Never seen anyone in the last year under the age of 50 touch them except this one time. It was a Mom trying to get her son to look at them but he was only interested in the Elites and Basics. I might get the John Morrison ones eventually, since I have almost every figure that's been made of him. Also, might get the Christian, I'm a huge fan, and the spring-jumping feature is probably the only good one they've made. I don't personally mind the action features, but it limits the articulation too much and the quality control is practically non-existent.
It also pisses me off that my local Wal-Mart just did a reset, and took the 4 pegs they had for Elites down to one, and re-labled them to be flex force and flex-force lightning, and then within a few days had clogged them further with more cases. I'm sure they're selling somewhere or Mattel wouldn't make them, but around here I have a pretty wide net I throw when hunting and these local stores don't move them except at Christmas. Hell, the local K-mart still has the long haired CM Punk with the back-flipping diaper.

I've picked up 13 of them over the years now. I don't go out of my way looking for them, but sometimes when I get caught up on my colletion and there is nothing else to buy, I grab a flexforce every so often. I actually enjoy them to a certain extent. They remind me alot of the WWF Hasbro line with there limited articulation and action move. And to be completely honest, I kind of like limited articulation. I am a huge fan of the basic line and the two biggest reasons for that are A) the price point, which happens to be the same as most flexforce and B) Elite articulation looks stupid to me. So, based on those 2 reasons for not collecting Elites, I figured I might as well give flexforce a shot because they have those two things going for them.

Once again if nobody bought them they wouldn't still make them. Retailers wouldn't want to carry the line which would basically kill it off.
