Rob Van Dam Mattel WWE Figure Design Choices!

November 26th, 2013 by Ringside Figures

Mattel has confirmed the upcoming release of a Mattel WWE Rob Van Dam figure in both Elite and Basic! RVD has always sported colorful singlets and wrestling attire so it is everyone’s guess as to what he will wear, but here are a few looks that we hope are a possibility:

ECW Television Champion Rob Van Dam wore this amazing attire, one of many with an incredible dragon on the front. An ECW Television Championship accessory would top it off.

Mr. Money in the Bank and Intercontinental Rob Van Dam sported another ferocious dragon, this time in red with yin yang eyes. An RVD Money in the Bank briefcase and Intercontinental Championship would make for great accessories.

WWE Champion Rob Van Dam is wearing…you guessed it, a singlet with a Dragon, this time darker with more intense detail. A spinning WWE Championship accessory would top him off.

Rob Van Dam’s red return attire at Money in the Bank 2013 is a likely choice for either Elite or Basic and a strong possibility. An Elite figure may come with a tall ladder like he used in the event.

There are loads upon loads upon loads of choices for the first Mattel WWE Rob Van Dam figures! These are just a few, but whatever is selected there is no question Mattel will do a bang up job!

John Cena vs. Randy Orton at Survivor Series 2013…WWE Championship Unification?!

November 25th, 2013 by Ringside Figures

Survivor Series 2013 has come and gone and John Cena came out to show Randy Orton that he, as World Heavyweight Champion, is not afraid of him! After interrupting The Viper’s celebration, John Cena stood face to face with him and held up his World Heavyweight Championship.

Mattel WWE Elite 23 John Cena!

The World Heavyweight Champion could have his eye on something bigger…unifying his championship with the WWE Championship!

That is, not if Randy Orton has anything to say about it! The Apex Predator is the reigning WWE Champion and could be a dangerous foe for the hero, unifying the two titles himself!

Would Randy Orton accept a title unification challenge? Is what we saw happen at Survivor Series 2013 the first step to WrestleMania XXX?! Could ANY other WWE Superstar get involved, or is this just between these two mega stars? Only time will tell!

Big E Langston has come a long way since he broke on to the WWE scene with a major impact, attacking John Cena. He is now the Intercontinental Champion and will be defending that title against the man he won it against, Curtis Axel, at Survivor Series 2013! Luckily, Big E Langston’s first ever Mattel WWE figures are just in time for his successes. First up is his basic Mattel WWE figure in Series 36:

Hardcore KANE vs. Hardcore LEGEND Cactus Jack!

November 23rd, 2013 by Ringside Figures

These two popular Mattel WWE Ringside Collectibles Exclusives are no strangers to the world of HARDCORE wrestling. Kane and Mick Foley have faced off before so they are no strangers to each other, but lets see how their figures stack up:

Mattel WWE Ringside Exclusive Hardcore Kane!

The Big Red Machine, Kane, is the Hardcore Champion in his figure, complete with mask and Hardcore Championship! Detailed with flames and mesh from the Attitude Era.

Mattel WWE Ringside Exclusive Cactus Jack!

Cactus Jack comes with his most wanted shirt, a Stop sign, handcuffs AND black steel ring steps!

If these two figures go at it, Cactus Jack definitely has the accessories to battle with but Kane has the (battered) gold! A champion doesn’t let go easy and Kane wouldn’t give up to Cactus Jack even though he has been hardcore wrestling all over the world!

FEED ME MORE! Comparing Two Ryback Mattel WWE Elites

November 22nd, 2013 by Ringside Figures

Ryback has been an unstoppable and unpredictable force since crashing his way into the WWE. It is no surprise that Mattel got hard at work on his figure and came out with two very unique and detailed Elite wrestling figures.

First up, Ryback’s Mattel WWE Elite 21 with barbell accessories and Feed Me More sleeveless shirt showcases a meaner, darker side of the big fella.

With a blue, white and black singlet complete with full details, this first released Elite Ryback is a must have.

Debuting in Mattel WWE Elite 24 was a possibly more heroic side of Ryback, complete with removable sleeveless shirt and folding chair but this time a more determined, triumphant headsculpt.

When Will The Undertaker Rise Again??

November 20th, 2013 by Ringside Figures

The Undertaker has been missing since a vicious Smackdown! attack at the hands of The Shield. The Deadman has, as expected, slowed down and not made as many appearances, but his name is always mentioned around big Pay Per Views like Survivor Series, Royal Rumble and WrestleMania.

In his latest figure release, Undertaker defends his legendary streak against CM Punk in Mattel WWE Battle Packs 25!
