Aren’t female figures even from wwe sometimes (not all obviously) more rare and often expensive?Maybe it hasn’t happened in a few years but I do remember a time when say the Bella Twins got their first elites that they sold out almost instantly and became hot sellers online after the fact. But like with most things, once things calm down so to the prices. Brandi though is still $100 or more which is very interesting to see. Makes me wonder if Riho will be scarce as well. Hell, the Riho chase figure may wind up taking the cake for most sought after chase fig! The Target exclusives are like Sensational Sherri, Liv Morgan, Sweaty Bill's Asuka, Wendi Richter, Peyton Royce and Billie Kay. Which Elite Bella Twins were hot sellers? Their latest ones E68 and E72 rotted on shelves before and even during the pandemic. Actually, aren't those their only true elites? I mean, sure old women's figures were more or less Elites, but I swear the Bella's only got those two Elites.

Honestly, short of being really frustrating for completists and such, the way they handled this figure in regards to collectability is...kinda genius. At the reveal stage, you couldn't spit without hitting someone who was certain that this would be the least sought after figure in the set, and Jazwares/WCT took that and completely flipped the script. Genius or over reactionary? There are so many negative comments on this board, it's no surprise they went light with series 1. From it's too early for a figure line for AEW to nobody knows AEW so figures won't sell. There's Brandi is going to warm shelves comments. Even now, there are still comments saying this line is doomed because they've handled the launch poorly or the AEW roster is too weak. So far we've had a very cautious release and sellouts.

Asuka had 2 elites before the Network Spotlight one. She had one in E47a and a NXT Takeover elite. The Bella's had multiple basics but they only had one elite each Yeah, I knew about Asuka, I specifically meant the Bellas. Although, to be honest, the first two Asuka figures are pretty bad. If you just looked at them from the neck down, they're really good, but unless you keep the mask on they're hard to stomach. I'm so glad the NS figure came out and I was able to get one. Such an improvement on the facescan. That said, I'm forever going to be salty that we didn't get a Kabuki Warriors Battle Pack. Even if we didn't get elites, I would have loved even a basic pack of them. Hopefully we can get an updated Asuka at some point soon, I'd love to get one with the green mist motif and maybe, someday, a dang robe. Although hopefully, if they make one of her current look, they make the cut-out t-shirt cloth goods. I find it an odd choice, wearing a fitted t with the boobs cut out. If they did make one and made the shirt cloth goods, I'd probably display it without.

A UE Asuka would be awesome and likely the way to get that robe.

I feel sorry for anyone who paid money for Brandi. She is truly awful, annoying, a terrible wrestler and the only reason she has a figure is cause she married Cody.

Well, in all honesty, my vow to have all the women really does mean ALL of them. But no, I have no need or desire to put Brandi on my shelf. She can stay in her box, hung on my wall. And no, she's not there as a special honor. She's only there as a trophy - the first AEW Women's figure made. I'm not trying to bully or tear her down. But yeah, there's no pressing need for her on my shelf. I'll save that spot for other figures... Like my customized repaint of Alicia Fox.

On-screen, I don’t give two sh*ts about Brandi. Otherwise, she seems fine. Therefore no chance I want a figure of her.

I’m going to guess that in addition to Brandi not being included in the production run that was made for the initial shippers, she was also the figure that gets replaced by the Cody/Jericho chase pieces like Dustin is for series 2.

So basically nobody is going to find Brandi at retail.

I'm very happy I got Brandi from Ringside. She's been teaming with Cody against Stephanie and Triple H in my figure fed.

I swear the last time I checked, she was down to around 50 on the secondhand market.
just looking at the current 'bay auctions, she's already back up to 90 bucks w/shipping.
This is absolutely insane. I never thought I'd see Brandi being the one going for this much. I guess, good work on Jazwares part. They took the guaranteed shelfwarmer of the set and made her one of the most sought after figures of the line.

She’s not very expensive on eBay in the UK, the reason being that a lot of Brandi figures have shown up in smyths stores and scalpers have been buying them to resell on eBay.. I just done a search and there’s like 20 or more of them on eBay uk.... no longer that rare.
