Undertaker has been warming shelves where I live in Northern California for a while now. How can this be? He is one of the most over stars ever. Is he packed like 3 per case? There were 11 EC Undertakers in WalMart today and he was the only ones left, aside from like 2 RR Cody Rhodes...

Here in central Florida hes a huge shelf warmer. I believe it to be because his tights hardly ever change and people cant afford to buy figures that look just alike.

Well the chamber one is weird because of the down straps, could be part of it, maybe people think it's a mistake or something.

Him and Jericho seem to be the shelf-warmers in my area. Basic 2 Punk was up there as well, but he suddenly disappeared in the last week or so. During that entire 2 for $12.99 (or was it $14.99?) sale at TRU recently, Jericho, Mickie, Taker, and Shelton were pretty much all you could pick from.

Not to mention he is rarely on TV. I said the same thing when I noticed the only EC figures left on the pegs here were Undertakers, and the slowest moving Basic 4 figure is HBK. Young fans easily forget. As it was said, there have been a few Undertakers made and they all like alike, making newer ones hard sell. |

His Basic 3 & PPV 4 figures are warming the shelves here as well. I'd say it's mostly because he's not on TV at the moment. Most kids are quick to forget wrestlers when they don't appear on TV every single week. It's the same way how Elite 3 and Basic 4 HBK is warming the shelves here like crazy as well.

There were 11 EC Undertakers in WalMart today and he was the only ones left, aside from like 2 RR Cody Rhodes... Probably because the figure market is saturated with Taker figs. A couple of weeks ago, I was in a TRU in Roanoke VA and the wrestling aisle was dripping with Undertaker figs. There might have been more of him than all of the other wrestlers combined. Taker has a loyal following but fig collectors (and young kids) might be interested in newer guys. |

But since he says there were 11 EC 'Takers, why would people think it was a mistake. Also it has the tats under the straps. I don't think Mattel paints the tats on him then just paint his singlet on. |

My local Wal-Mart over ordered the EC set; so they're all sitting there shelf-warming.

I think he is a 3-per case figure in the EC set. That being said...most kids probably don't want an "incomplete" Undertaker...they don't appreciate cool things like post match style figures.
Plus he has the same logo on his tights as the Survivor Series figure, so there's no difference.

Here in Canada, I guess Mattel Canada's division made the idiotic decision to carry two Elites per wave instead of the entire wave. So for wave 1, Canada received Undertaker and Rey Rey.
Here in Toronto Undertaker is warming the shelves something hot! It's rediculous!!! It may be for a lot of reasons though - Takers all look the same, he's not on TV much, the rubber coat is a hinderance...who knows.

Undertaker really only warms the shelfs here for about 2 weeks after he is put out. Mattel sells pretty fast around here.

Dude when that figure first came out i could not find it and then the last week or so my walmart has had three of them and i was shocked now only if christian could be like this or even dolph ziggler. A lot of people on here seem to have trouble finding Dolph & Drew. Yet both guys have been warming the shelves here for weeks. I literally saw around 15-20 Dolph's & 10-15 Drew's the other day when I was figure hunting. Also if your talking about Elite Christian he was warming here for a bit but I think they all sold now. |

The only Mattels that i seen as shelf warmers are basic 3 Chris Jericho,Randy Orton and Mickie James. As far as the Undertaker they only ones i have see are the RA figures.

I'm sure he will be pegwarming. So far he's been released in the Elite Series 1, WM Heritage, Basic Series 3, PPV3, PPV4 and a couple FlexForce. That's alot of Takers to choose from already.
