YO! Chico! Razor Ramon is in Mattel WWE Defining Moments!

The Mattel WWE Defining Moments Razor Ramon!

He’s finally, slowly, and suavely walking down the aisle and into the Mattel WWE Defining Moments revival! Razor Ramon marks the debut of WWE Hall of Famer Scott Hall to the Mattel WWE wrestling figures line. Fans have been practically begging for an appearance by the massive WWE Legend since the beginning of the Mattel WWE takeover and are finally having their wishes come true in grand fashion. The perfect fashion for a wild, unpredictable classic superstar like Razor Ramon.

Debuting in the Mattel WWE Defining Moments line, Razor Ramon will be posed with the Intercontinental Championship, a title he made famous during his early days in the WWF. Some consider his run with the championship one of the most memorable of his career. His wrestling figure displays the Intercontinental Championship proudly in packaging and with swag.

With an incredible likeness and purple and gold ring gear, this Razor Ramon calls upon one of his more iconic looks. A smirk, chains and a removable vest top it off as a spot on version of Scott Hall’s Scarface-like character.

The detail gets even more incredible, though, as fans are treated to incredible deco on the back of the Mattel WWE Razor Ramon’s vest. His logo in silver and gold along with some black coloring match the razors on both his trunks and elbow pads.

Razor Ramon catapulted Scott Hall into stardom and has been a fan favorite character for many years. He’s now included as a Mattel WWE Defining Moments figure!

 

HULKAMANIA Finally Runs Wild With Mattel & WWE!

Hulkamania has finally arrived. Since Hulk Hogan’s return to the WWE family nearly a year ago, fans have been clamoring for Mattel WWE Hulk Hogan figures. We have been treated to looks at them, but they are finally beginning to roll out in different forms with spot on, accurate Mattel WWE figures. The first Mattel WWE Hulk Hogan figure shown at San Diego Comic-Con turned out to be part of the Defining Moments line.

With a classic style, bandana, old-school WWE Championship belt and a spot on version of the Hulkster, wrestling figure collectors freaked out when they finally got to see the finished product at Ringside Fest 2014.

Also on display at Ringside Fest 2014 was a Mattel WWE Hulk Hogan figure in basic style. For fans of the basic series of figures, they will be getting their version of Hogan just as Elite collectors will receive theirs.

Probably the most surprising version of Hulk Hogan was his Mattel WWE Signature Series figure. Complete with sunglasses, red Hulkamania shirt and a modern day look, fans couldn’t believe it when they saw a version of Hulk Hogan that reflected his current look. Anyone looking to make Hulk Hogan their wrestling figure General Manager can do so with delight.

With great versions of Mattel WWE Hulk Hogan figures both past and present, fans are wondering what looks they might come up with next either from Hogan’s storied career thus far, or what may be coming in the future.

The Dangerous Elimination Chamber and its Mattel WWE Superstar Participants!

The Mattel WWE Elimination Chamber Playset!

The Elimination Chamber 2014 is fast approaching and the WWE Universe is speculating as to which WWE Superstar is going to leave the event with the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. The overwhelmingly dangerous structure was first introduced by Eric Bischoff in 2002 and has been a major WWE spectacle ever since. With pods releasing a new Superstar every few minutes, anything can happen with no disqualification and tons upon tons of cold, hard steel trapping the world’s best wrestlers with no way out other than winning.

The participants include John Cena, Daniel Bryan, Randy Orton (the current WWE World Heavyweight Champion), Christian, Sheamus and Antonio Cesaro (now known simply as ‘Cesaro.’) A combining crop of veteran WWE Superstars and young, hungry competitors make it possible for the WWE Elimination Chamber 2014 match to be incredible. Each competitor featured is a definite Mattel WWE staple, and any wrestling figure fan with the Mattel WWE Elimination Chamber Playset would be able to re-enact the action of the event.

Elimination Chamber Participants Randy Orton and Daniel Bryan in Mattel WWE Battle Packs 27!

Elimination Chamber Participants Randy Orton and Daniel Bryan in Mattel WWE Battle Packs 27!

Daniel Bryan has been chasing Randy Orton ever since he cashed in his Money in the Bank Briefcase on the American Dragon at Summerslam 2013. After multiple distractions and opposition from The Authority, Daniel Bryan will finally get his chance to face off with Randy Orton again, like in Mattel WWE Battle Packs 27. However, Randy Orton knows the target is easily on his back, so he will have to be extra aggressive during his Elimination Chamber 2014 appearance. This Mattel WWE Battle Pack includes updated looks for both The Apex Predator and the Dazzler, along with the Money in the Bank Briefcase that has proved to be the catalyst for Daniel Bryan’s struggles.

Elimination Chamber Participant Sheamus in Mattel WWE Series 38!

Elimination Chamber Participant Sheamus in Mattel WWE Series 38!

Sheamus is right back in the picture after suffering an injury and disappearing from WWE television for almost 5 months. He has made it clear he is choosing no sides and looks to enter the 2014 Elimination Chamber with power and leave the WWE World Heavyweight Champion. His participation in the event will not surprise many in the WWE Universe and while he has been vocal about his intentions to regain the top spot in the WWE, he has yet to prove himself since returning. His Mattel WWE Series 38 wrestling figure showcases his new gold and silver wrestling attire.

Elimination Chamber Participant Christian in Mattel WWE Series 39!

Elimination Chamber Participant Christian in Mattel WWE Series 39!

Christian has lost most of his matches since qualifying to gain entry into the 2014 Elimination Chamber, so he is working off weak momentum and is now only participating in his second match for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in his WWE career. However, he has been faced with impossible odds before and after proving he will not take sides with any member of the WWE locker room, Christian has the ability to be the surprise winner. In Mattel WWE Series 39, a confident and happier head sculpt on Christian reflects his current mentality as he gives his all because he may not have many more chances to do so.

Elimination Chamber Participant John Cena in Mattel WWE Series 39!

Elimination Chamber Participant John Cena in Mattel WWE Series 39!

John Cena can be considered an easy favorite to win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at Elimination Chamber. Having participated in the match numerous times before, he can also benefit from a weakened Randy Orton at the hands of other competitors. John Cena knows how to use all situations to his advantage. He is a Mattel WWE necessity, appearing here in Mattel WWE Series 39 with updated attire. Many of Cena’s fans in the Cenation will fully and completely expect him to win and face of with Batista at WrestleMania XXX, as long as he can survive the Elimination Chamber with no outside interference.

Elimination Chamber Participant Antonio Cesaro in Mattel WWE Series 27!

Elimination Chamber Participant Antonio Cesaro in Mattel WWE Series 27!

Antonio Cesaro received his first Mattel WWE figure in WWE Series 27, complete with painted chest hair and painted leg wraps. He will now receive his first WWE World Heavyweight Championship opportunity at the 2014 Elimination Chamber and will have to fend off five other WWE Superstars to prove victorious. He is not a veteran in the WWE, but proves with his brute strength and incredible move set that he is a force to be reckoned with. He is certainly the dark horse participant in the match up and will be a contender for years to come.

The Mattel WWE Elimination Chamber Playset!

The Mattel WWE Elimination Chamber Playset!

The Elimination Chamber has the ability to offer glory to anyone walking out of it victorious and horrible defeat to anyone losing not only their match, but their pride and adding an additional possibility of serious injury. The Mattel WWE Elimination Chamber Playset has the ability to offer a re-enactment of all those emotions for any Mattel WWE wrestling figure collector. With the inclusion of these six participants, the stakes can be raised and the show can be unforgettable.

Mattel WWE Battle Packs 28 Erick Rowan & Luke Harper!

The Wyatt Family, also known as Erick Rowan and Luke Harper, get their first Mattel WWE wrestling figure treatments ever. Fans can certainly expect Rowan’s green jumpsuit and Harper’s dirty, soiled shirt and gigantic scale.

Mattel WWE Battle Packs 28 The Usos!

Mattel WWE Battle Packs 28 The Usos!

Is Batista Getting the Right Reaction From the WWE Universe?

Mattel WWE Royal Rumble 2014 Batista Wrestling Figure!

Batista returned to the WWE just in time to participate in the 2014 Royal Rumble. The WWE Universe seemed underwhelmed by his return as he set his sights on the WWE World Heavyweight Championship and looked to send a message to the rest of the WWE locker room by taking out Alberto Del Rio. Some were very excited, but many felt it wasn’t the explosive return they were looking for. Regardless, Batista made it clear he was in the WWE to stay for the time being.

Mattel WWE Series 37 Batista Wrestling Figure!

Mattel WWE Series 37 Batista Wrestling Figure!

Before leaving the WWE, Batista had a storied career, competing at WrestleMania multiple times and becoming WWE Champion. The Mattel WWE Series 37 version of Batista celebrates WrestleMania heritage and calls back to a simpler time when Batista didn’t sport many tattoos, had just given up being a deacon and followed behind his longer standing companions in Evolution. Here is an appearance from one of his first WrestleManias as ‘The Animal’ complete with trunks stating the like and black strapped boots.

Mattel WWE 2014 Return Batista Wrestling Figure!

Mattel WWE 2014 Return Batista Wrestling Figure!

Batista wore a very cool, skin tight white and red track jacket, grey pants and sunglasses upon his WWE return in 2014. A Mattel WWE figure in plain clothes is mostly not in the cards according to the Mattel WWE Design Team, however they may consider the possibility as the return outfits of many wrestlers are usual memorable to the WWE Universe. In addition, Batista destroyed Alberto Del Rio when wearing the same outfit so fans will most likely never forget it.

Mattel WWE WrestleMania XXX Batista vs. Brock Lesnar!

Mattel WWE WrestleMania XXX Batista vs. Brock Lesnar!

Just in time for WrestleMania XXX, Batista returned to the Mattel WWE line in a Battle Pack with Brock Lesnar as a ‘fantasy match-up.’ With accurate tattoos and a heavy beard, The Animal faces off with The Beast in a match that the WWE Universe anticipates at some point in the career of both staple wrestlers. This is perfect timing as it is in line with the actual return of Batista to the WWE so fans will have The Animal available.

Mattel WWE Royal Rumble 2014 Batista Wrestling Figure!

Mattel WWE Royal Rumble 2014 Batista Wrestling Figure!

No doubt eventually slated for release, a Mattel WWE version of Batista winning the 2014 Royal Rumble is likely to be a desire of wrestling figure fans who both like and dislike Batista. His red ring shoes, black trunks and new physique are enough to get wrestling figure fans talking, but the WWE Universe as a whole did not react well to his Royal Rumble win. The question remains, what does the WWE Universe want from The Animal? Are they looking for a hero to change the landscape of the WWE, or have they find another enemy for the heroes they are hoping to have more of an impact?

A Mattel WWE Stephanie McMahon Figure Finally in the Works?

Mattel WWE Stephanie McMahon - Member of The Authority!

As most Mattel WWE wrestling figure fans know, the appearance of a WWE Superstar on television is extremely important when asking the question of a possible Mattel WWE wrestling figure release. Stephanie McMahon, while noticeably absent from WWE television for most of Mattel’s WWE wrestling figure releases, has become more of a fixture since becoming part of ‘The Authority’ that aids Randy Orton in his winnings and suppresses Daniel Bryan. It isn’t impossible that fans can soon have a Mattel WWE Stephanie McMahon to wreak authoritative havoc on their wrestling figure collections or even step foot in the ring to hold down the family business!

Jakks WWE Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley and Triple H - McMahon-Helmsley Era 2-Pack!

Jakks WWE Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley and Triple H – McMahon-Helmsley Era 2-Pack!

Originally produced by Jakks Pacific as a Ringside Collectibles Exclusive, the WWE McMahon-Helmsley Era 2-Pack featured a returning Triple H and Stephanie McMahon during her stint as WWE Women’s Champion! Stephanie wore a white shirt bearing her name and initials in the wrestling figure. With a scale and size extremely similar to Mattel, those who absolutely need a Stephanie McMahon as part of their WWE wrestling figure collection could look to this figure as a temporary placeholder, or a replacement if a Stephanie McMahon Mattel WWE figure is never made.

Mattel WWE Stephanie McMahon in Wrestling Attire!

Mattel WWE Stephanie McMahon in Wrestling Attire!

During her participation and life-long dedication to the WWE, Stephanie McMahon has laced her boots to wrestle numerous times, here at WWE Vengeance in 2003. Her wrestling ability is looked at amongst fans as part of her bloodline and genetic, so it would be no surprise for Mattel to make a WWE wrestling figure of Stephanie McMahon actually ready for a wrestling match. Here she sports a dark outfit and is ring ready with elbow pads and high wrestling boots.

Mattel WWE Stephanie McMahon Figure in Referee Attire!

Mattel WWE Stephanie McMahon Figure in Referee Attire!

A Mattel WWE wrestling figure referee is mostly missing and Stephanie McMahon has certainly served as referee of a match before. A Mattel WWE referee Stephanie McMahon would provide any wrestling figure match with a watchful eye, particularly during a Randy Orton or Triple H match. She can be trusted by some, but being a McMahon the WWE Universe never knows what tricks she may have up her sleeve!

Mattel WWE Stephanie McMahon - Member of The Authority!

Mattel WWE Stephanie McMahon – Member of The Authority!

Stephanie McMahon’s most recent and perhaps her now most famous look is her suited, stern and confident appearance as a member of The Authority! Stephanie wears a perfectly fitted suit, offering the WWE Universe food for thought on her decision making and keeping absolutely sure that the WWE is under the control of her and her husband, Triple H. This would make the perfect Mattel WWE wrestling figure for a general manager, owner of another wrestling brand or simple authority figure for all Mattel WWE wrestling figure collectors! Stephanie McMahon is an empowered, strong woman that would absolutely make a powerful addition to any wrestling figure collection.
