San Diego Comic-Con 2014 Mattel WWE Panel Revealed!

July 13th, 2014 by Ringside Figures

The Mattel WWE San Diego Comic-Con 2014 Panel!

Mattel and WWE have made huge, strong showings at the San Diego Comic-Con since partnering up in 2010, and 2014 looks to be no different. With perhaps their most exciting panel ever, the 2014 San Diego Comic-Con brings top WWE Superstars and Legends to the stage and multiplies the excitement! The official statement reads:

Thursday, July 24 • 10:15am – 11:15am

Mattel and WWE: Over-the-Top-Action!
Two of the world’s top entertainment companies have teamed up for the ultimate panel at SDCC. WWE Superstars and Mattel designers will talk about the all-new WWE Network and give exclusive sneak peeks of Mattel’s upcoming WWE figure releases! Incredible guest appearances by Hulk Hogan, Daniel Bryan, Michael Cole, Paul Heyman, and you never know what else will be unveiled. This is a panel you won’t want to miss, brother!

The inclusion of Hulk Hogan opens a floodgate of questions that Mattel will hopefully (and likely) answer. With so many different iconic looks throughout his legendary career, a Mattel WWE Hulk Hogan figure comes with endless possibilities. With the nWo, Hulk Hogan’s classic runs as WWE Champion or even his return to the WWE in 2002, Hogan will have the more impact on the Mattel WWE line than arguably anyone produced as a Mattel WWE figure before him.

Daniel Bryan is currently on the WWE ‘disabled list’ but after his appearance at Money in the Bank 2014, is clearly still beloved. His appearance at SDCC 2014 is his only announced appearance for WWE in the near future, so it will give fans a chance to see him again and to check out more of his updated (and spot on) Mattel WWE figures.

Michael Cole has history with Daniel Bryan and the entire WWE Universe as they love to hate him but deep down, wouldn’t be able to live without him. With only one Mattel WWE figure to date, it’s possible that he could be announced in another line or just be showing up to give fans a hard time. Depending on which of Michael Cole’s diverse personalities we are getting, he will add an element of fun.

Paul Heyman, legendary in his own right, will likely have plenty to say about Brock Lesnar, the Undertaker, and even Daniel Bryan. With underlying conflict floating through the air, the pot will likely be stirred by Heyman and wherever he is, his ‘clients’ can’t be far behind. With two Mattel WWE figure treatments to his name, Paul Heyman can always be due for more.

Also, Mattel will be offering sneak peeks at upcoming Mattel WWE figures as they do every year. With so many amazing wrestling figures produced so far, fans still have loads of legends and modern superstars they want to see given the treatment. San Diego Comic-Con is always a big step in filling that need for collectors and fans!

Mattel WWE Elite 30 Now Available For Pre-Order!

July 9th, 2014 by Ringside Figures

Mattel WWE Elite Series 30 Revealed!

The Mattel WWE Elite 30 wrestling action figures are now available for pre-order! With a great mix of modern day Superstars and WWE Legends, fans are already clamoring for this Elite sets’ release!

Mattel WWE Elite 30 includes:

Lex Luger
Brock Lesnar
Ryback
Animal (Legion of Doom)
Hawk (Legion of Doom)
Batista

With Lex Luger’s first Mattel WWE figure treatment ever, fans are to be treated to a representation of the Lex Express himself during his pique WWE days just before jumping ship to WCW. Likely red, white and blue American style attire will be what Lex dons for his first Mattel release and a physique like no other, full of unmatched muscle.

Brock Lesnar has not received an updated Mattel WWE Elite since Series 19, so fans of the Next Big Thing will likely be thrilled to see an updated version of the man who single-handedly destroyed Undertaker’s WrestleMania reputation. Expect a bigger, badder and angrier version of the life-time Paul Heyman guy.

Ryback has re-invented himself as a tag team specialist but his brute strength and size have remained the same as he jumps in to another Mattel WWE Elite set. With a selection of singlets as massive as his arms, Mattel should have no problem delivering a detailed, exciting version of the Big Guy to the Feed Me Morons.

The Legion of Doom includes Hawk and Animal and were represented in the Mattel WWE Legends 1 Series with old school attires. Leaving a bit to be desired for fans in both look and body shape, Hawk and Animal make their return in Mattel WWE Elite 30, likely in the red and black Road Warrior gear they are most well known for. With rumors of a new body shape for Animal, Hawk can’t be far behind and wrestling figure collectors will receive the versions of this legendary tag team that they’ve been waiting for.

Batista made his return to the WWE just in time for the Royal Rumble. Despite negative fan reaction and leaving the WWE once again, he has forced himself to stay overwhelmingly positive and take the feedback of the haters with a grain of salt. All hate aside, wrestling figure fans are looking for an updated, modern day version of the Animal who makes his first appearance in an Elite set since his original departure.

Lana and Rusev are in Complete Control of the WWE!

July 9th, 2014 by Ringside Figures

In your Mattel WWE collection, Lana and Rusev own you! The Russian beauty and her beast of a WWE Superstar have taken the WWE Universe by storm. With a striking look being delivered by Lana and immense pain being delivered by Rusev, the sky seems to be the limit for these newcomers hailing from the motherland. A Mattel WWE wrestling figure of both WWE Superstar Rusev and WWE Diva Lana are on the horizon and shining on wrestling figure collectors like a red sun! Whether they are together or separate, both will be sought after by the fans.

Mattel WWE Lana wrestling figure!

Lana wears here incredible ‘well fitted’ suits to the WWE ring week after week and fans are as jaw-dropped by her beauty as they are by her harsh, intense words. Coming in multiple colors, when Lana is released as a Mattel WWE figure her fashionable suits will offer multiple options. She is striking in black, but some may prefer her blue suits or even a ravishing red.

Mattel WWE Rusev wrestling action figure!

Rusev’s intensity and beastly size will more than likely require a new body mold from Mattel to capture his physique perfectly and truly offer a great representation. With huge arms, a giant frame and a no-nonsense wrestling attitude, fans want to grab Rusev to complete their roster of newcomers who have burst on to the WWE scene. His trunks have seldom changed, showing off his huge, muscular thighs and bearing his name in a harsh blue or red and black. His Mattel WWE figure will most likely include his standard outfit. An Elite Rusev could include additional accessories as Rusev begins to grow and add to his arsenal.

Lana and Rusev as Mattel WWE wrestling action figures!

All good, powerful things come in pairs and there is nothing more obviously meant to be paired than Rusev and Lana in a Mattel WWE Battle Pack. Lana’s introduction of Rusev make him a cold, calculated opponent on the way to the ring. For the two of them to be together and immortalized in a Mattel WWE Battle Pack would be a win for fans of the duo…and a win for Mother Russia!
