One of the most popular Superstars in recent memory and arguably of all time, the technical wrestling phenomenon Daniel Bryan, also known as the leader of the “Yes! Movement” has unfortunately been sidelined due to injury since WrestleMania. He has been sorely missed and fans constantly bring up his name when mentioning wrestlers that they want to return. With his recent WWE Tough Enough appearances and his RAW surprise showing, Daniel Bryan may be reviving the Yes Movement sooner than fans are expecting. His Mattel WWE wrestling figures have been on-point, following his ascent to super-stardom. Particularly, the Mattel WWE Elite Daniel Bryan figures have shown his change over time, where he has come from and what he has become, and will hopefully, return as.

Evolution is a Mystery…Solved by Mattel WWE Figures!
Evolution has officially reunited as an entire unit in the WWE with Ric Flair returning on the April 28th, 2014 WWE Monday Night RAW! Triple H, Randy Orton and Batista decided to reform the legendary group after WrestleMania XXX to deal with what they considered the unruly and wild group, The Shield. It remains to be seen as to whether or not Evolution will successfully stop The Shield in their tracks and if they do, whether or not they will remain a unit or disband. While the WWE Universe tries to unravel the mystery that is Evolution, they can re-create their sudden and surprising dominance through Mattel WWE figures easily with both current and upcoming Mattel WWE action figures!
Triple H has been spearheading the 2014 Evolution reunion with his position as a member of the WWE’s authority. Serving as COO and now more often as an active wrestler, The Game has set aside his need to be the King of Kings and joined forces with Batista and Randy Orton to try and stop Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins. His Mattel WWE Elite 28 wrestling figure perfectly and accurately represents his modern day look as a performer and as the WWE’s harsh and intense authority figure.
Evolution’s youngest member and arguably its most successful over the past decade, Randy Orton comes off his WWE World Heavyweight Championship loss only to gain more momentum as his old group reunites. In Mattel WWE Series 37, wrestling figure fans get a WrestleMania-ready version of Randy Orton, representative of his dominant time leading up to WrestleMania 25.
The recently announced Mattel WWE Elite Series 30 wrestling action figures features many Legends that have the WWE Universe excited, but it will also feature the first Elite version of Batista since WWE Elite Series 6. The figure will likely reflect Batista’s return to the WWE in 2014, including his Royal Rumble win and his disapproval of the WWE and its fans. If those very same fans who loath Batista are lucky, he may even have some indicator representing him as a member of Evolution in his latest Elite.
Ric Flair made an appearance on WWE Monday Night Raw on April 28th, 2014 to give Evolution his well wishes, only to turn and shake hands with the Hounds of Justice, The Shield! Whether it’s a modern day version of the legendary Superstar or a classic version featuring one of his many intensely colored robes, the WWE Universe and Mattel WWE collectors alike have been clamoring for a Mattel WWE Ric Flair figure since the launch of the line! With another appearance on WWE television, they can only hope that an actual figure is now even closer to a reality.
If any Mattel WWE figure collectors or fans in the WWE Universe are simply unimpressed by Evolution’s display of power, they can stand behind The Shield with many, many Mattel WWE wrestling figures! Including Mattel WWE Elite versions of Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns, fans can easily enter their wrestling figure matches from outside the arena with plenty of options.

The Mattel WWE Elite 28 wrestling action figures have finally been officially revealed by Mattel through prototype images!

The Mattel WWE Elite 28 Series includes:
- Daniel Bryan
- Triple H
- Big Show

- John Cena
The Big Show finally gets treated to a new headsculpt, showing off a spot on smile that looks just like the giant’s real life counterpart. With blue boots and a blue and white, camouflage style singlet he receives an updated look based on his most recent featured time in WWE, minus the crying, sobbing and constantly upset behavior he displayed. Included is a back stage digital screen stand, featuring another WWE Superstar!
Triple H has made Daniel Bryan’s life a living hell and does his best to serve as COO of the WWE while remaining in the spotlight. In his latest Mattel WWE Elite figure he proves he is the King of Kings, complete with crown, sledgehammer, golden helmet and brand new, short haired headscan. His trunks have also been updated to reflect his most recent in ring performances.
One third of the legendary stable ‘Demolition,’ Demolition Crush joins Demolition Ax and Demolition Smash as a Mattel WWE action figure! Crush’s first Mattel WWE figure treatment, his long hair, armored ring attire and trademark facepaint have all been represented here. Now the team of three can join any Mattel WWE Legends collector’s collection.
John Cena is all smiles as he receives a figure in yet another Mattel WWE Elite set, this time with a headsculpt featuring a wide, white toothed grin. With a removable arm band, dog tags, hat and new color scheme, the CeNation can easily get behind his latest treatment and use it to fight all of their battles with evil WWE Superstars. A must for any John Cena fan, this is the latest and best version of the world’s favorite controversial face of the WWE.
Bray Wyatt may have the whole world in his hands, but now fans can have Bray Wyatt in their hands as the leader of the Wyatt Family is finally a Mattel WWE action figure. With a removable shirt and hat and a sadistic grin, Bray Wyatt beckons all Mattel WWE fans to ‘follow the buzzards’ and is represented with an incredible likeness and accurate tattoos. Any Mattel WWE wrestling figures fan or any WWE Universe member who is a fan of the Wyatt Family can now lead their ‘sheeple’ into battle with a fearless, and sometimes very frightening, leader.
After a wild chase that began with menacing defeat at Summerslam 2013 and ended with amazing triumph at WrestleMania XXX, Daniel Bryan can finally rightfully call himself the true, undisputed WWE World Heavyweight Champion. His latest Mattel WWE Elite figure features a sign showing clear support from the WWE Universe and the new, updated WWE Championship. Oh, and don’t forget the bushy, wild, and well respected beard.

Daniel Bryan’s WrestleMania Journey Begins with Triple H!
Since losing the WWE World Heavyweight Championship ‘fair and square’ to Randy Orton at Summerslam 2013, Daniel Bryan has been dealing with the constant abuse of power by the COO of the WWE and the man quickly growing to become one of Daniel Bryan’s biggest nemesis’ ever, Triple H. The Game has used his ability to manipulate goings on to make Bryan’s life and pursuit of the title a living hell. The American Dragon has prevailed, however, earning himself the chance to main event WrestleMania 30 if he defeats the one thing standing in his way…The King of Kings. Triple H and Daniel Bryan are both slotted for release in Mattel WWE Elite Series 28, and since fans have yet to see images of these wrestling figures, they can easily speculate on what they could look like.
A Mattel WWE Triple H mail-away exclusive wrestling figure featured the former world champion wearing a grey suit from his more easy-going days as COO of the company. Since, he has opted for darker, harsher suits and cut his long, flowing locks. While Mattel has often stated they do not like to make suited figures, it is nearly impossible to deny that Triple H has appeared almost exclusively dressed up since Summerslam 2013 on WWE television. Anyone looking to re-enact Daniel Bryan’s struggles with the Cerebral Assassin would certainly need an updated, suited Triple H.
The savior of the WWE Universe and the YES! Movement leader, Daniel Bryan has made fans out of millions with his likeable personality, amazing wrestling ability and scruffy beard. His first reference to the ironclad facial hair style came in the form of a ‘The Beard is Here’ shirt in direct parody of John Cena’s ‘The Champ is Here’ shirt. Mattel may choose to commemorate this ever-popular look in Daniel Bryan’s style, despite it having evolved since.
Though he rarely appears in wrestling attire, Triple H manages to find his way into a competitive role every year at WrestleMania. He will do so again when he tries to stop Daniel Bryan dead in his tracks, and then head for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship himself. A short haired, Elite Triple H figure in wrestling attire has only been seen so far as an exclusive, and could easily make its way into the main line with the next Elite release of Triple H.
Daniel Bryan’s ‘Respect the Beard’ shirt accompanies one of his many red, grey and black designed attires and could easily be expected as a choice for Mattel WWE Elite 28. While it is a bit pre-mature to assume the figure would be the ‘Yes! Movement’ version of Bryan, this version is indeed a bit newer and just vintage enough to be considered. With a new headsculpt that further accentuates the bearded modesty of the humble American Dragon, Daniel Bryan’s latest Mattel WWE Elite release could satisfy fans everywhere, especially if he makes it to the WrestleMania 30 main event.

Mattel WWE Elite 28 Figures Now Available For Pre-Order!
The latest Mattel WWE Elite offering has a wide variety of sought after WWE Superstars, surprising many fans with mostly modern offerings and a classic. Mattel WWE Elite 28 includes:
- John Cena
- Demolition Crush
- Daniel Bryan
- Bray Wyatt
- Triple H
- Big Show
John Cena, the WWE face and family friendly powerhouse gets his latest Mattel WWE Elite treatment in what will most likely reflect his current attire. It is difficult to say as to whether the figure will glow in the dark in any way, but it is a possibility.
For the Mattel WWE fans who collected the WWE Legends line, this figure comes as a sigh of relief. Those who have collected Mattel WWE Demolition Ax and Mattel WWE Demolition Smash figures can now add Demolition Crush to their collections! The three team members had an ongoing rivalry with the Legion of Doom and were a fan favorite for many.
Bray Wyatt’s Mattel WWE Elite 28 figure will be his first time in the Elite line and more than likely offer some interesting accessories. Fans can definitely expect his trademark hat and hopefully a possible apron or a rocking chair for those wishful thinkers. Either way the figure should be a stand out for the set.
The Mattel WWE Elite 28 Big Show could prove to be a dud with a similar release to his previous Elites, but the chance at a Big Show from a different classic phase or including a crying feature is too good not to consider. His huge hands, also known as WMD’s, will most likely be included.
The current WWE COO and member of The Authority has not regularly been seen in wrestling attire since helping Randy Orton win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, but his short hair and a possible suit could definitely be included in this Mattel WWE Elite 28 release.
An updated Daniel Bryan with ever-changing beard is a huge desire of Mattel WWE wrestling figure fans, as the Yes-master becomes more and more popular. An updated Daniel Bryan Elite will most certainly come with a t-shirt of some kind but more importantly, a new look that reflects his changing style.
