One of the Walmarts in my area had a bunch of Vaudevillains two packs up until the post-Christmas inventory. At one point, they had so many that some were put up on the very top shelf, where they usually keep the bigger toys that take up more space.

The title is just making me picture someone buying a Road Warrior Hawk figure, and even that standing up on its own after another toy gives it a piledriver.

I wasn't privy to Jim Crockett or All Japan at 9 years old so my friends and I all thought Dr Death was a fictional wrestler created just for the toy-line/video game because none of us could recall ever seeing him on TV. It's got to be him. There were always 1000 Dr. Deaths at every Wal-Mart and Toys 'r Us on the planet.

I like Dr. Death, and even I have to admit they must have overproduced his figure, since he did seem very common. If I were collecting figures at the time, I'd have probably wanted one, though I'd have used him as like a trainer or something.

I remember seeing tons of Joey Styles figures at Walmart for a year or two.

At my local Tescos there are a few Nia Jax's keeping the pegs warm.

The Targets in my area have a lot of a 4 pack of WCW figures with Kevin Nash, Scott Hall (so far so good), Eddie Guerrero (thats kind of weird but he is in an lWo shirt), and Larry Zybysko (why?).

Every time I’ve stopped by Toys R Us in the past couple years there have been dozens of unwanted Dean Ambrose figures everywhere.

Perhaps just on a personal level, Jakks Val Venis. I remember on my birthday going to K-Mart to pick out any 4 figures I wanted and I ended up only getting two and something else because there must have been 5 rows of him and only a few of other wrestlers.

Did you check the Star Wars aisle? I'm sure you could probably find plenty of Finn figures, haha. During my son's birthday party a friend of mine was over, commenting on how he had trouble finding the right gift at Toys R Us before coming to the party, and noted that about all they had in terms of Star Wars was a bunch of Finn stuff. "After all, what self respecting kid would want a Finn toy?" At one of my local toy stores in the mid 80s there was an overload of Anakin Sywalker and frozen Han Palitoy figures that nobody had bought. I guess every generation and franchise has a figure that nobody loves.

EDIT: And my local Rite-Aid had an Elijah Burke figure warming the peg long after the dude left WWE. Drug stores are usually good for those. My Walgreens had TNA Series One guys long after the company discontinued them altogether. Last time I looked, they had a Sasha Banks, a Regal and Nasty Boy Sags. (That'd be a fun stable.)

For the Toys R Us pegwarmers: I'm pretty sure that Lana's figure is going to be a pegwarmer until the end.
Such a pegwarmer here that it's even leaked into Target, even though it's an older figure and most of Target's are the new design.
