The Undertaker Returns for WrestleMania XXX…and Challenges Brock Lesnar!

February 28th, 2014 by Ringside Figures

The Undertaker has finally arrived upon the landscape of the WWE Universe, just in time to remind Superstars and fans alike that he has a WrestleMania streak to maintain. With plans to continue his streak into WrestleMania XXX, the lights went down and the fans shook at WWE Monday Night RAW. The Undertaker stood in the WWE ring face to face with Brock Lesnar, the self-proclaimed ‘Baddest Man on the Planet,’ and only had to make a singular gesture to make his goals known. With the turn of his head towards the WrestleMania XXX sign, both the Undertaker and Brock Lesnar knew that they were destined to face off on the grandest stage of them all. For Mattel WWE wrestling figure fans, the possibilities in play are extremely fruitful with many excellent choices to choose from when booking their own Brock Lesnar vs. Undertaker match.

Mattel WWE Elite 27 Undertaker!

The Mattel WWE Elite 27 Undertaker is intimidating wrestling figure fans like never before with his Entrance Robe complete with current, modern look including spikes and hood. It also includes a head sculpt with Undertaker’s shaved, semi-mohawk haircut and icy blue eyes. With complete Elite articulation and the most up to date version of Undertaker a wrestling fan can find, anyone looking to continue Undertaker’s streak early would be hard pressed to find a better action figure of the Dead Man.

Mattel WWE Ringside Collectibles ‘Here Comes the Pain’ Brock Lesnar Exclusive!

An excellent choice for any wrestling figure fan looking for a more classic approach to defeating the Undertaker’s streak can find it with the Mattel WWE ‘Here Comes the Pain’ Brock Lesnar Exclusive. With Undisputed Championship, t-shirt and tattoos accurate to Brock’s peak time period, the current Undertaker may have even more trouble with a younger, more dangerous version of Brock Lesnar. A fantasy match-up of “old school’ Brock Lesnar and “legendary” Undertaker could prove to be the WrestleMania main event fans have been waiting for.

Mattel WWE WrestleMania XXX Series Brock Lesnar!

Speaking of Brock Lesnar, his intensity and drive to eliminate the Undertaker’s undefeated WrestleMania streak couldn’t be more apparent in his Mattel WWE WrestleMania XXX Series figure. With updated, accurate tattoos, MMA-style wrestling gear and a head scan roaring with power, Brock Lesnar at the very least, truly looks like the baddest man on the planet. Just in time for WrestleMania XXX, this basic style figure carries standard articulation and comes packaged in WrestleMania XXX style carding.

Mattel WWE WrestleMania XXX Series Undertaker!

The Undertaker is not far behind Brock Lesnar in the Mattel WWE WrestleMania XXX Series set, complete with an updated look, accurate tattoos and a perfectly painted head sculpt. Looking to keep the streak alive, this figure trades in the gear and wild spikes for old fashioned brute Undertaker-style strength. Also packaged with WrestleMania XXX carding and ready to deliver a Tombstone Piledriver Brock Lesnar’s way, this is the most up to date, basic version of Undertaker a wrestling figure fan can get, especially with the WrestleMania XXX symbols.

Brock Lesnar is no easy foe to tackle, but Undertaker has kept his WrestleMania streak alive for so long it would be an unwise decision to bet against the power and raw mysticism of the Phenom.

CM Punk is BACK to ECW in a Ringside Collectibles Mattel WWE Exclusive!

February 17th, 2014 by Ringside Figures

Mattel WWE ECW CM Punk Exclusive Wrestling Figure in Packaging!

CM Punk has been the topic of intense discussion over the past month as his contract status with WWE and appearances have come into question. Since Royal Rumble 2014, CM Punk is nowhere to be found and fans have constantly speculated as to his whereabouts, status with the WWE and more. Ringside Collectibles can now confirm that CM Punk will still appear in the Mattel WWE Ringside Collectibles Exclusive ECW CM Punk figure! Dedicated to Punk’s meteoric rise to fame beginning with his time served in the ECW brand, this CM Punk directly represents what classic CM Punk means to so many CM Punk fans.

Mattel WWE ECW CM Punk Exclusive Wrestling Figure With Accessories!

With three accessories, the ECW CM Punk comes stylized to be exactly like his ECW days, complete with microphone, ECW Championship and X-Ray T-Shirt. When ECW and CM Punk fans think of his time in the ECW promotion, they think of this figure.

Mattel WWE ECW CM Punk Exclusive Wrestling Figure!

Underneath, CM Punk’s tattoos are accurate to the time frame, showcasing the tattoos that he had on his arms and stomach at the time. Not including too many tattoos, this figure matches CM Punk’s ink perfectly for the ECW brand inclusion.

Mattel WWE ECW CM Punk Exclusive Wrestling Figure ECW Championship Accessory!

Included with the figure is the ECW World Heavyweight Championship as it originally looked when CM Punk carried the title. With amazing detail and dripping red ‘Heavyweight Wrestling’ scribe, the ECW Championship is perfect for any wrestling figure fans looking to take it so old school they have to buy a ticket to a show at the Hammerstein Ballroom.

Mattel WWE ECW CM Punk Exclusive ECW Microphone Accessory!

Also included is a microphone showcasing the ‘modern’ ECW logo with razor-blade design and three famous letters. CM Punk spoke his mind freely in ECW and the sentiments didn’t change as his career grew and his accolades flourished.

Close up of Mattel WWE ECW CM Punk Exclusive Trunks!

On the back of CM Punk’s red trunks are the four letters of his last name. Punk is both his name and the attitude he carries when posed with a yes or no question. CM Punk does not take no for an answer and thinks luck is for losers.

Mattel WWE ECW CM Punk Exclusive Head Sculpt!

CM Punk’s handsome face has now been re-done from his ECW days with perfect detail by the Mattel WWE Design Team. Sporting a smile and accurate piercings, CM Punk’s attitude and demeanor are all present in his new head sculpt.

A Mattel WWE Figure for Hall Of Famer Lita?

February 17th, 2014 by Ringside Figures

Lita, the high flying, trend setting WWE Diva and Superstar who changed the landscape of women’s wrestling with the WWE, has recently been announced as a WWE Hall of Fame 2014 inductee. Fans haven’t forgotten Lita and remember her for her time performing with Lucha Libre style during the Attitude Era, controversial relationships with the Hardy Boyz and Edge, and reigns with the WWE Women’s Championship. She has cemented her place in wrestling history as one of the most memorable female performers of all time. It is likely that she could possibly be in line for a Mattel WWE wrestling figure release now with her Hall of Fame induction. Time will tell, but some wrestling figure fans are already speculating on possible outfits.

Mattel WWE Debut Lita Wrestling Figure!

Many wrestling fans are unfamiliar with Lita’s WWE debut as it seemed she was always a member of the Hardyz, but Lita actually debuted with Lucha Libre star Essa Rios in a shiny red wrestling top and pants. Her first chances to show off her luchadore style came during this time, wowing fans with amazing high flying maneuvers and incredible speed. A Mattel WWE debut figure of Lita would seem unlikely, but many fans during the Attitude Era have memories of her first appearance and the immediate impact she had on women’s wrestling, showing that anyone could perform in the ring in an incredible way. A Mattel WWE version of this Lita would offer an impactful debut figure.

Mattel WWE Women’s Champion Lita Wrestling Figure!

Lita is perhaps best known for her time as WWE Women’s Champion and as a member of the Hardy Boyz, so her most likely Mattel WWE wrestling figure release would include a stylized look throwing back to her Hardy days. With either a mesh top, Women’s Championship or pants that include bottoms sticking out from underneath, Lita’s style was always apparent during her Hardy Boyz days and a Mattel WWE figure showcasing that would prove to be extremely sought after. If a signature Mattel WWE Lita was to be made, it would more than likely look something like this.

Mattel WWE Rated R Lita Wrestling Figure!

Possibly too risqué for a Mattel WWE wrestling figure given the WWE’s new PG direction, a ‘Rated R’ Lita would be anything but. Her time with Edge proved controversial but for many it created loads and loads of memorable moments, including one of the WWE’s highest rated segments of all time. The WWE Universe began to despise Lita and wished her away as Cryme Tyme bid her adieu with a ‘ho sale.’ A scantily dressed, cheaply outfitted Lita would make for a Mattel WWE wrestling figure that could add some crassness to any collection.

Mattel WWE Hall of Famer Lita Wrestling Figure!

Now, as a future member of the WWE Hall of Fame, Lita no doubt is still in ring shape and could run with the best of today’s WWE Divas. With a wink, nod and a flip Lita could get back in to the ring like old times, and a Mattel WWE modern day, Hall of Fame version of Lita would make wrestling figure fans looking to deepen their current rosters happy with an irreplaceable, Hall of Fame free agent.

The Future Possibility Of a Mattel WWE Kurt Angle Figure

February 17th, 2014 by Ringside Figures

Kurt Angle is an absolute wrestling legend that no wrestling fan on the planet disputes in any way. After putting on five star matches in both WWE and TNA, as time moves on and injuries pile up, Kurt Angle is closer to retirement than ever before and wrestling fans will no doubt be sad to see the Olympic gold medalist’s career come to an end. But his involvement in the wrestling business will most likely never end as one of the best big mouths in the history of wrestling will always have a place and presence. Kurt Angle has made it clear he feels he will one day wrestle for the WWE once again and the WWE Universe would welcome him with open arms. Mattel WWE wrestling figure fans would be even more excited at the possibility of versions of Kurt Angle wrestling figures from throughout his career.

Mattel WWE Eurocontinental Champion Kurt Angle Wrestling Figure!

Perhaps Kurt Angle’s most popular and well known phase ever came during the WWE ‘Attitude Era’ when he held both the WWE Intercontinental and WWE European championships at once, deeming himself the ‘Eurocontinental Champion.’ Constantly at odds with the WWE Universe, the rest of the locker room and the WWE Champion at the time, Kurt would make it clear that he would stop at nothing to wear all the WWE Championships he could, and they meant as much to him as his Olympic gold medals did. A Mattel WWE figure of this version of Kurt Angle should be most likely a certainty.

Mattel WWE Olympic Gold Medalist Kurt Angle Wrestling Figure With Wig!

Many fans know Kurt Angle for his wrestling ability but many more know him for his comedic, entertaining wrestling chops. When he lost a Hair vs. Hair match to Edge, Kurt Angle refused to let the WWE Universe in on his new haircut. Because of this, he wore an obvious wig underneath wrestling headgear to the ring each week, assuming the WWE Universe would be none the wiser. His attires at the time were beginning to become more colorful, so a Mattel WWE figure including those attires and a removable wig and wrestling headgear accessory may provide exactly the type of unique feature that Mattel WWE wrestling figure fans are used to.

Undisputed and World Heavyweight Champion Mattel WWE Kurt Angle!

Kurt Angle transitioned more into a power wrestling role during his final WWE appearance, capturing World Heavyweight Championship and even Undisputed WWE Championship gold. His American themed singlets and growing physique would prove for a strong, focused Kurt Angle that would seen become one of the faces of the ECW brand before his WWE departure. Many WWE fans remember this unstoppable version of Kurt Angle for bringing an intensity to wrestling that was beginning to be otherwise overlooked.

Modern Day Mattel WWE Kurt Angle Wrestling Figure!

As Kurt Angle hasn’t made a WWE appearance in almost 10 years, his TNA career can be the only thing by which WWE fans can judge and guess what a Mattel WWE figure would look like. Kurt hasn’t missed a beat since leaving the WWE, putting on stellar matches in TNA and continuing to showcase red, white and blue themed outfits that offer a variety for Angle’s personality. A modern day Mattel WWE Kurt Angle wrestling figure would depend on if Angle does in fact participate in a match upon returning to the WWE. He is a future WWE Hall of Famer, no doubt, but having one more match in the WWE remains an unanswered question that will be answered sooner rather than later.

Is CM Punk Gone From WWE? What Does This Mean For His Mattel WWE Figures?

January 30th, 2014 by Ringside Figures

The week after Royal Rumble 2014, speculation has run rampant on Twitter, Facebook and amongst the WWE Universe and beyond as to whether or not CM Punk is still with the WWE. Rumor has it that CM Punk, unhappy with his Royal Rumble loss and stature in the company, decided to leave the WWE early with a contract expiring in July and his absence from Monday Night RAW has further fueled this speculation. No one, including CM Punk himself, has made an official statement on the matter but rumors of fights with Vince McMahon, tension with Triple H and more have made people immensely curious about what is going on with the wrestling superstar they consider The Best In The World. Wrestling figure fans have already begun to speculate as to what this means for Mattel WWE CM Punk action figures and their future releases. Could Mattel WWE CM Punk figures be a thing of the past? Here are a few of the best Mattel WWE CM Punk figures so far:

Mattel WWE Straight Edge Society CM Punk Exclusive!

The Ringside Collectibles Exclusive Mattel WWE Straight Edge Society CM Punk featured camouflage Straight Edge Society garb for the Straight Edge Superstar. Complete with a removable mask and an extremely detailed bald headsculpt, this CM Punk was hugely sought after by Mattel WWE figure fans, sold quickly and remains a hot item to this day. Celebrating Punk’s time in the Straight Edge Society, it captured the essence of his purely evil turn and cult-like feuds with Rey Mysterio and Big Show.

Mattel WWE Elite 1 CM Punk!

The Mattel WWE Elite 1 CM Punk, his first released Mattel WWE Elite during the launch of the Mattel WWE line, featured CM Punk’s post-Money In the Bank win look, confidence and edge. The grey and yellow outfit featured in this figure, unlike so many other CM Punk outfits, has yet to be replicated and remains unique and unchanged. Also included, now a thing of the past in the Mattel WWE figure line, was a cotton-style cloth t-shirt.

Mattel WWE Elite 11 CM Punk!

After a forceful takeover of The Nexus from Wade Barrett, CM Punk put his leadership skills to good use and ran the group into the ground while using it as a springboard for his own success. Fans are often reminded of CM Punk’s time in the Royal Rumble surrounded by Nexus members and his infamous “Pipe Bomb” speech that took place during his time as Nexus leader. The Mattel WWE Elite 11 figure captured both his time in the group and his transition to mega superstar, complete with Nexus armband and Nesus t-shirt, both removable so wrestling figure fans could easily have their CM Punk abandon the group if he needed to.

Mattel WWE Elite 20 CM Punk!

The Mattel WWE Elite 20 CM Punk was monumental for Mattel WWE wrestling figure fans as it included a new, slick-haired headsculpt and accurate, colorful tattoos that were finally realized as intended. This figure also included the Mattel WWE Spinner championship, commemorating CM Punk’s monumental WWE Championship reign that lasted over a year and ended at the hands of The Rock.

Mattel WWE Battle Packs 25 CM Punk vs. The Undertaker!

What could possibly be CM Punk’s last great feud in the WWE, he faced off with Undertaker at WrestleMania 29, angrily trying to end what he considered to be a self indulgent and silly WrestleMania streak carried by the Undertaker. Going so far as to make jokes with the urn of the Undertaker’s late father Paul Bearer, CM Punk reached into the mind of Undertaker to pull out a loss. He didn’t find it, but his memorable elbow drop on to Undertaker and his ongoing grouchy demeanor made the face off extremely memorable.

Mattel WWE Ringside Collectibles ECW CM Punk Exclusive!

The latest planned Mattel WWE ECW CM Punk Ringside Collectibles Exclusive figure was revealed by Mattel and Ringside Collectibles at Ringside Fest 2013. A happier, smiling CM Punk included red trunks and boots, a microphone, heart t-shirt and ECW Championship from a time when the new Superstar was doing his best to make a name for himself in the WWE. Many die-hard wrestling fans had already taken to CM Punk, but he slowly but surely made his way atop the WWE ladder, and it began while in ECW. The fate of this Mattel WWE Ringside Collectibles Exclusive ECW CM Punk figure is currently unknown, but upon its release, it will be a fitting tribute as the start of a career in the WWE that many have not wanted to see end.

Ringside Collectibles Offering Loose Championship Belts!

January 30th, 2014 by Ringside Figures

Until now, Mattel WWE Championships, also known as wrestling figure belts, have only widely been available when included with other Mattel WWE figures. For fans who need wrestling figure belts for their collection but don’t want to spring for an exclusive figure or are not a fan of who they might be included with, Ringside Collectibles is offering some loose wrestling figure belts for what is most likely only a limited time. Championship belts are an important part of playing with wrestling figures and there are currently four available on their own.

Mattel WWE Winged Eagle Championship!

Fans of the classic late 80’s to mid-90’s era of wrestling will instantly recognize the Winged Eagle WWE Championship, here as a Mattel WWE accessory. With detailed gold plates, a prestigious eagle and declaration of championship on the front faceplate, it’s a championship visibly held by the likes of Hulk Hogan, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels and more. Any fan of classic wrestling and classic wrestling figures will be looking for this as part of their collection.

Mattel WWE Smoking Skull Championship!

Throughout wrestling history, few Superstars have been given custom versions of their World Championship, and one of the best examples is the Smoking Skull WWE Championship, made especially for Stone Cold Steve Austin. With a skull in the front of the title and smoking coming from its eyes, many fans of the Attitude Era remember this championship fondly and how Stone Cold would whip and toss it around on his way to the ring. Stone Cold Steve Austin fans can easily add this to their Stone Cold wrestling figure collection.

Mattel WWE Attitude Championship!

The Attitude Era brought about a re-design of the WWE Championship that many fans still miss and fondly remember to this day, including former WWE Champion Chris Jericho. With a perfectly round faceplate and a blue globe in the center, it embodied what it meant to truly be the world champion. It’s a must have for fans of the era where the belt was a centerpiece, and the perfect wrestling figure belt to add to your classic wrestling figures.

Jakks TNA World Heavyweight Championship!

For fans of wrestling in general, TNA may not be the top company but they hold their own and do have a prestigious World Heavyweight Championship. That title is replicated by Jakks with this die-cast, leather strapped version that even includes velcro for a perfect fit. For wrestling figure fans looking to expand their roster or even creating separate brands, the TNA World Heavyweight Championship is a perfect place to begin. Creating multiple brands with multiple champions make ‘invading’ your other wrestling figures federations endless and offer ripe possibilities for plenty of fun.

A Mattel WWE nWo Hulk Hogan Possibility!

January 17th, 2014 by Ringside Figures

With Hulk Hogan’s WWE deal return rumored to be imminent, the speculation runs rampant as to what his return will entail and how he will make his present felt both in the WWE and possibly at WrestleMania. While he most likely will be a favorite of the fans upon his return, Hulk Hogan’s wrestling history will be constantly discussed, analyzed and remembered. Among this is his time in the nWo, perfectly geared towards many different Mattel WWE action figures. Here are a few of the different looks that would make great Hulk Hogan wrestling action figures:

Mattel WWE Bash at the Beach 1996 Hulk Hogan!

The nWo Hulk Hogan wrestling figure conversation simply can’t be had without bringing up Hulk Hogan’s original look when forming the nWo. At Bash at the Beach 1996, the WCW was taken by storm and it was the last time for years and years that fans would see the red and yellow version of Hulk Hogan they had grown to love. This may be the only version of the red and yellow that invokes evil feelings for many fans of the Hulkster.

Classic nWo Hollywood Hulk Hogan Mattel WWE figure!

WCW champion and villain too cool for words, Hollywood Hulk Hogan sported the black and white best he could. With the Hollywood bandana, defaced, spraypainted WCW championship and any number of lightning bolted tights, Hulk Hogan’s leadership of the nWo is classic World Championship Wrestling. A version of this Hogan as opposed to a version based on his match with The Rock at WrestleMania 18 would be unique and not something done in a classic style wrestling figure to date.

Mattel WWE Wolfpac Hollywood Hulk Hogan figure!

After the ‘Finger Poke of Doom’ incident and the re-inclusion of Hulk Hogan in the New World Order, Hogan began to sport a look that was a combination of nWo Wolfpac style and nWo Hollywood style. Though short lived, this look is memorable for many fans of Hogan. With WCW heading downhill shortly after, Hulk Hogan’s WCW days may very well have ended in the fans of many with this look.

nWo Hulk Hogan vs. The Rock Mattel WWE figure!

When facing off with The Rock at WrestleMania 18, Hulk Hogan wore a black and white boa, nWo shirt and detailed ring tights and boots to step in the squared circle. One of his most memorable looks as a member of the nWo didn’t take place in a WCW ring, but when facing off against the Great One. Many fans who missed WCW’s original run only enjoy this version of Hulk Hogan, and thus he must be included on the list.

Hulk Hogan is a wrestling icon, quite possibly the most famous and recognizable wrestler in the world to this very day, and his time in the New World Order from it’s formation to it’s disbandment to it’s reformation in the WWE, he is as representative of the Black and White as one can get.

A Legendary Referee is Ready to Serve You!…Or Is He?

December 31st, 2013 by Ringside Figures

Earl Hebner has officiated over 10,000 wrestling matches between his time in the WWE and TNA. Acting as the senior official in both companies, he is perhaps best known for his involvement in the Montreal Screwjob. He ‘screwed’ Bret Hart by counting quickly when Hart was pinned to award the championship to Shawn Michaels.

Legendary Referee Earl Hebner!

Referee action figures have been limited to guest referee figures of wrestling superstars, so the release of Earl Hebner’s Jakks Legends of the Ring figure marks the first time an actual official has been made into an action figure in at least a decade. Earl Hebner has been trusted plenty of times with calling a match down the middle, but you can never be too sure.

Jakks Legends of the Ring Earl Hebner Exclusive!

When having matches with your wrestling figures, you can use Earl Hebner as an official referee. It will be up to you whether or not he can be trusted when officiating, but it’s a fact that he is the best man (or referee wrestling figure) for the job!

Brock Lesnar…UFC Bound? Or Still a Mattel WWE Staple?

December 31st, 2013 by Ringside Figures

Rumors have been running rampant that the beastly Brock Lesnar has been secretly planning a return to the octagon with UFC. He has openly and publicly claimed he is retired from his MMA career and vowed never to return, but rumors of some sort of superfight including Brock are the talk of the mixed martial arts town. This may seem difficult when considering his WWE career, but fans continue to speculate. Since debuting in the WWE, Brock Lesnar has been considered one of the most feared men on the planet, and his sheer wrestling ability is a major part of that. With WWE Undisputed Championship included, The Ringside Collectibles Exclusive ‘Here Comes The Pain’ Mattel WWE Brock Lesnar action figure embodies Brock’s first and most impactful WWE run:

Brock Lesnar Mattel WWE Ringside Collectibles Here Comes the Pain Exclusive!

Since returning to the WWE, Brock Lesnar has sported an MMA-style attire, including his sponsors and logos on his shorts. Although these cannot be captured in a Mattel WWE figure due to cross-licensing issues, the shorts and the fighting spirit remain, like in Brock’s Mattel WWE Elite 19 figure. This is the current, modern day version of The Next Big Thing:

Brock Lesnar in Mattel WWE Elite 19!

Since Brock Lesnar enjoys time away from the ring and can’t always be present after leaving UFC for a WWE return, he has pulled no punches in maintaining a representative. That representative is none other than Paul Heyman, ECW founder and best friend of the big, bad brawler. Mattel captured the likeness of their business arrangement in Mattel WWE Battle Packs 25. The first ever Mattel WWE Paul Heyman figure is included:

Mattel WWE Battle Packs 25 Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar!

Only time will tell if the very private Brock Lesnar is planning a return to the UFC. Will he balance his time between both companies? Is the idea that he could return to professional fighting just hot air? One thing is certain, Mattel has given fans excellent versions of this very big, very intimidating man.
