The Mattel WWE Defining Moments Series continues to immortalize signature looks for WWE Legends with top level ring gear from some of the most memorable matches of all time. Just announced, the legendary Ultimate Warrior returns to the Mattel WWE Defining Moments line with his unforgettable ‘Ultimate Maniacs’ look!
The Great American Bash was once a staple in professional wrestling pay-per-view. One of the cornerstones of WCW’s (and NWA’s) existence, this event happened yearly and kicked off the summer for WCW fans and wrestling fans around the world. It’s no surprise that Sting, one of the most famous and popular wrestlers of all time, debuted incredible looks as he competed at this event. One of his most memorable looks ever from Great American Bash has been immortalized forever in Mattel WWE Defining Moments! Check out images here:
Shane McMahon was unsuccessful in his bid to gain control of the WWE. In a valiant effort, Shane O Mac went toe to toe with The Undertaker, standing tall against the dead man at WrestleMania 32…even going so far as to leap off the Hell in a Cell to try and defeat the person doing his father’s bidding. Unfortunately, Shane failed at his dream and did not gain control of the WWE, but many questions have been raised since his return. Whether or not the junior McMahon will remain is still being considered, but wrestling figure fans have a different question in mind. Since this is the first time Shane has appeared on WWE television since Mattel began to make wrestling action figures…when will we see a Mattel WWE Shane McMahon figure?
It’s not quite spring yet in most parts of the country with snow still coming in strong, but the Spring Toy Fair 2016 took place in New York, New York as usual with plenty of new WWE items on display! Mattel, Wicked Cool Toys, Bridge Direct, Funko and Jakks Pacific all managed to have new, never before seen WWE product to show off!
For the first time in a long time, fans were treated to an eventful Toy Fair with glimpses at an upcoming Mattel WWE Zombie wrestling figure line, a new Mattel WWE SummerSlam Series and the announcement of the latest Ringside Collectibles Exclusive, ‘Y2J’ Chris Jericho!
Also shown off were brand now Jakks 31′ Inch figures, new Funco Pop Vinyl designs and plenty of new Bridge Direct WWE playsets! Rounding out the WWE inclusion at Toy Fair were Wicked Cool Toys with some lifelike Halloween costumes, Authentic Scale WWE Microphones and more. Check out images here:
Samoa Joe, the ‘Samoan Submission Machine,’ has been popular with fans around the world thanks to his intense fighting style leading him to be a world champion in multiple promotions. Since joining NXT, he has stood out as a competitor that is frighteningly aggressive. ‘Joe’s Gonna Kill You’ has taken on a brand new meaning! He’s on tap to become one of the most popular Mattel WWE figure releases ever, so we have to speculate about how he could actually appear.
In what may be one of the biggest stories in pro-wrestling to develop since the return of the nWo to WWF television, rumors are circulating that members of New Japan Pro Wrestling are headed to the WWE in the near future. Bullet Club members AJ Styles, Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson and New Japan Pro Wrestling Superstar Shinsuke Nakamura have been at the height of wrestling news, shockingly featured on WWE.com as possibly coming to the WWE and debuting at Royal Rumble 2016. While speculation runs rampant, fans can also speculate on what these superstars would look like for their first time in the Mattel WWE line.
Gimme a hell yeah! Stone Cold Steve Austin re-emerges in Mattel WWE Defining Moments with a classic look and a tribute like never before. The latest Mattel WWE Defining Moments figure will feature Stone Cold with a memorable ring attire, complete with ring trunks, knee braces and a removable Austin 3:16 vest.

The innovator of violence, an ECW original and someone that the Dudley Boyz can always count on, Tommy Dreamer has returned to the WWE to take on the Wyatt Family! Sporadically seen since the closing of ECW in 2010, Tommy Dreamer has been rocking and rolling on the independent scene and proving he still has plenty of fight left in him. He has appeared in the Mattel WWE wrestling action figure line only once before, partnering (or brawling, depending on your memories) with Captain Charisma, Christian, in a Mattel WWE Battle Pack:
Sporting an ECW t-shirt & creating a ‘Dual Impact,’ this has been our only treatment of Tommy Dreamer in the Mattel WWE line so far. With a spot on look and gear, we could easily see a re-production of this same figure appear in the Mattel WWE Series line. What would be more exciting, however, is seeing a new Mattel WWE Tommy Dreamer figure released with another look.

Ringside Fest 2015 was a huge success! Fans were treated to meetings with their favorite WWE Superstars, including WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins, Lana, Paige, Intercontinental Champion Kevin Owens and Dolph Ziggler! While waiting patiently to meet them, they were able to have a look at some new, upcoming Mattel WWE wrestling action figures, including the newly announced upcoming nWo Wolfpac Kevin Nash Exclusive! Also on the way were the first Kevin Owens, Sasha Banks and Bailey Mattel WWE figures. They were peppered into a lineup of returning favorites, like Sheamus with his new and improved look, a Flashback style Chris Jericho, Paul Bearer, Undertaker and even new looks for Lana and Wade Barrett.
So few expected and even fewer are not at all shocked by The Undertaker’s defeat by Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 30. With a legendary WrestleMania win-streak on the line, Brock Lesnar managed to make quick work of The Undertaker, man-handling him and ending the undefeated streak, giving The Phenom a 21-1 record. Since, Brock has been recognized as both WWE World Heavyweight Champion and Paul Heyman has done his best to make sure fans remember exactly who changed the face of professional wrestling forever. The Mattel WWE figures released of both heavyweight Superstars have reflected their aggression, and perhaps, aging, for better or worse. Fans will find out at SummerSlam 2015 whether or not Undertaker will be defeated for good, but they can try to predict the action themselves with Mattel WWE wrestling action figures.
