    All of the female characters from GI Joe Rise Of Cobra, especially Cover Girl.

    Lots of Neo-Vipers and Heavy Duty, as well.

      Secret Saturdays have been sent from Target to the Goodwill and nobody's buyin' tthem there either.

      Indiana Jones still hangin' around, Avatar, Star Trek the movie. TRU has lots of HEROES tv show left.

      A couple years ago it was Pirates of the Carribean (at least the 2nd & 3rd movies), Hulk movie, Superman Returns, Batman Dark Knight I still see in Big Lots,

        GI JOE the Rise of Cobra. Walmarts here are packed to overflowing with them and at $5 they are still just not moving.

        Avatar. Have yet to see anyone, kids or collectors, go near them. The Wallyworld I was at tonight has moved them to the discount isle and still nobody is touching them.

        Brave and the Bold here on the other hand is selling briskly. Kids and collectors are really digging it.
        You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

          There were 8 count them 8 DC Universe Batman figures at the local TRU, but no other figures. It must have been a solid case of Batmen.

            female figs are usually warmers - it didn't help that cover girl (while a gorgeus woman) does little in the film before Zartan killed her

              I have a feeling subsequent Rise of Cobra figures will sell briskly, Hasbro is releasing a lot of nice figures under that banner that have nothing to do with the movie.

                I see the Avatar figures sitting in TRU but they were never put out in the open. Since before the film they hid them inn the aisle with clearance items. No fanfare at all. Seems like TRU didn't care.

                  Probably for the best, because her acting was cringe-worthy.

                    all the acting in the film is cringeworthy even from decent actors like Chris Eccleson, Siena Miller, and Dennis Quaid. I'm just saying if she had a rifle and was killing some cobras instead of delivering coffee and briefcases the toy might have been a better seller (of course hasbro probalby over-packed her by making the same # per case too)

                            Sadly, because I love Trek, those Star Trek figures are CLOGGING the aisles at my local TRU as well as the astroboys and Terminator:Salvation stuff....the Terminator stuff appears to be FULLY stocked dating back to the day they hit the shelves....

                            I notice the "collector" aisle at Toys R Us seems to be a failed experiment too...I visit once or twice a week and nothing moves (although those Retro Action Heroes moved fast and it wasn't me...I passed). Mighty Morphin Power Rangers sell pretty well around these parts as well as Marvel Universe.

                            The most obnoxious item I see every time is this damn Punjabi Prison WWE ring that they can't give away...and they have 600 of them.

                                This one in particular, which is a shame because we FINALLY got a movie-accurate ("hologram" aside) Brando Jor-El.
