Feed Your Mattel WWE Ryback Appetite!

ryback-return

By Robert Mulrenin

Feed. Me. More! Ryback has resurged as a dominant force in the WWE. Since returning from surgery, Ryback has taken the WWE Universe by storm, returning to his original ways of ‘feeding’ on the competition and taking down opponents with no problem. He has been represented in the Mattel WWE action figure line with colorful, wildly designed singlets, sometimes directly reflecting his good…or mean…personality. Whether Ryback is on the side of the fans or not, he is always intense, and that has been captured in his Mattel WWE figures.

Legendary Tag Teams Invade WWE RAW!

Mattel WWE nWo Action Figures!
The Ascension Mattel WWE Wrestling Action Figures!

The Ascension Mattel WWE Wrestling Action Figures!

The Ascension have been running their mouths for weeks since debuting on the WWE roster. With their bizarre looks and hulking physiques, they are using their words and intense actions to try and prove to the WWE Universe that they are destined to be one of the most memorable tag teams of all time. This drew the ire of some of the most memorable tag teams of all time as the nWo, New Age Outlaws and APA (Acolyte Protection Agency) decided to stop The Ascension short. With regular appearances on WWE TV, The Ascension Mattel WWE wrestling figures are likely on their way. Now that they’ve helped these legendary tag team players introduce themselves to an entirely new fan base, they should likely be given new Mattel WWE figures as well.

Mattel WWE nWo Action Figures!

Mattel WWE nWo Action Figures!

The three ‘Outsiders’ known as the ‘Wolf Pac’ in the early stages of the nWo takeover in WCW, Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, and Syxx, have received Mattel WWE Elite incarnations at this point. The only one who has received a figure that can be argued as a member of the nWo, however, is Kevin Nash. Big Sexy’s red ring attire that he made famous in WCW has been produced by Mattel, but as a life-long nWo member, including being the ‘good guy’ nWo Red and Black leader, there are plenty of styles and colors that could bring an additional nWo Kevin Nash Mattel WWE wrestling figure. Scott Hall has yet to receive his first Mattel WWE figure treatment as the ‘Bad Guy,’ but with his Mattel WWE Defining Moments Razor Ramon figure having been produced, a Mattel WWE Scott Hall can’t be far behind. Syxx has appeared as X-Pac of D-Generation X, but could also appear as X-Pac, nWo 2002 member or as Syxx, nWo Black and White member.

Mattel WWE APA Wrestling Action Figures!

Mattel WWE APA Wrestling Action Figures!

Farooq & Bradshaw joined together as members of the Ministry of Darkness and eventually broke off to become the Acolyte Protection Agency. Since they are life long best friends and continue to dish out their unique brand of ass-kicking, the APA will, surprisingly and excitedly, have Mattel WWE figures in Elite 38. Rumored to included a door accessory and hopefully throwing back to their original looks, Farooq and Bradshaw will keep strong and continue their protection services.

Mattel WWE New Age Outlaws Wrestling Action Figures!

Mattel WWE New Age Outlaws Wrestling Action Figures!

The Road Dogg Jesse James and the Bad Ass Billy Gunn are staples in the DX Army, but they have continued to cement themselves as one of the best WWE Tag Teams of all time as the New Age Outlaws. One of the only classic tag teams to be active on the modern day WWE roster, the Outlaws have wrestled great matches with The Usos, Goldust & Stardust and more. With The Ascension now seemingly in their sights, new Mattel WWE Elite New Age Outlaws action figures with their modern day looks and wrestling attire seem to be no brainers. This legendary Tag Team will keep on fighting, and continue to shout ‘Oh You Didn’t Know?’ as they enter into arenas.

Mattel WWE Battle Packs 34 Lineup Revealed!

Mattel WWE Battle Packs 34!
Mattel WWE Battle Packs 34!

Mattel WWE Battle Packs 34!

The latest in intense teams and rivalries are arriving with Mattel WWE Battle Packs 34! The Mattel WWE Battle Packs 34 lineup has been announced. It includes:

  • Hornswoggle vs. El Torito
  • The Road Warriors (Hawk & Animal)
  • Rusev & Lana

Hornswoggle and El Torito faced off with each other, showing a meaner, darker side of everyone’s favorite extremely tiny leprechaun. The rivalry culminated in a miniature match not seen in a WWE ring in a long time. A new Hornswoggle Mattel WWE figure will likely showcase many of his tattoos and the shirtless, ‘bountiful’ in-ring look he sported. With a few different colors, fans are likely hoping for a white scheme El Torito here.

The legendary tag team the Road Warriors can never be beaten in style and intensity. Both Hawk and Animal as the Legion of Doom will remain one of the most dominant tag teams of all time. This being their first time as basic Mattel WWE figures, the trademark Road Warriors shoulder pads will likely be included.

The ravishing Russian Lana is the highlight of a Mattel WWE Battle Pack with Rusev as it’s her first time appearing in the Mattel WWE line. Diva collectors and fans of the beauty alike are excited to see which suit she’ll be included in when figured into the line. Rusev’s crushing power will also be represented in his latest Mattel WWE figure, possibly with a new look on his face to showcase some clenched teeth or even more intensity.

Stardust & Goldust Descend Into Madness

It was a shock to everyone when the sad, depressed Cody Rhodes disappeared for good. It was an even bigger shock when he reemerged as Stardust, Goldust’s similarly bizarre, shining younger brother. It seemed Goldust’s strange ways had finally gotten the best of Cody and that after years of trying to break out on his own, he had finally found his place among the stars. The duo were friendly at first and fans were clamoring for more Goldust, more Stardust and a chance for the two to gain the Tag Team Championships. This, of course, would make the team an absolute must as Mattel WWE figures.  Goldust and Stardust team again and become more evil.

 

While Cody Rhodes and Goldust have appeared in Battle Packs together before, a Stardust Mattel WWE figure has yet to make his way into the cosmos. It would likely feature a smiling, bizarre version of Cody Rhodes with his entire body suit and his name printed on the back. It would fit perfectly with the already released Mattel WWE Elite 29 Goldust, one of the best ever made of the bizarre one:

Mattel WWE Elite 29 Goldust!

 

With so much detail going into the paint and coloration for the real life Goldust and Stardust, it’s only certain that Mattel would try to capture that bizarre look in their figures perfectly as they have here. A Mattel WWE Stardust would have to have spot on facepaint, dark, red eyes and possibly even stars in both of his hands to make his trademark symbol.

Goldust points his younger brother Stardust in an intense new direction!

Since delivering a brutal attack on The Usos, Stardust and Goldust have taken a turn for the more intense as they look to grab the WWE Tag Team Championships. Once friendly and parlaying for the fans, they are now aggressive and more than likely frightening the young audience members of the WWE Universe. Not since the Ministry of Darkness has a tag team struck such fear into the hearts of fans.

A Mattel WWE Stardust figure will be long awaited by fans!

With Goldust’s veteran presence and Stardust’s youthful stride, the team are a force to be reckoned with and are hopefully here to stay in the WWE. It looks as though Cody Rhodes had to lose his mind to finally capture the hearts and imaginations of the fans, and so far they seem to be ok with it if the desire for a Mattel WWE Stardust figure is any indication!

The long awaited debut of the other two members of The Wyatt Family hasn’t disappointed! Luke Harper’s debut Mattel WWE figure includes a massive beard and sweat stain detail on his white shirt.

Also included is Bray Wyatt’s rocking chair, making this Battle Pack not just a necessity to complete the Wyatt Family collection but to make Bray Wyatt as strong a force in your wrestling figure world as possible!

Mattel WWE Battle Packs 28 The Usos!

Mattel WWE Battle Packs 28 The Usos!

The current WWE Tag Team Champions and ever-popular Usos have finally been given an updated version akin to how they look in a WWE ring in the modern day.

Wrestling figure fans can now re-enact their awesome entrance with ease thanks to this Battle Pack.

Mattel WWE Battle Packs 29 Lineup Revealed!

The Mattel WWE Battle Packs 29 lineup has been revealed, much to the excitement of wrestling action figure fans. Including new releases and a possible now-missing old favorite, this set is going to be hotly anticipated. It includes:

  • Los Matadores (Diego & Fernando) with 2 hat accessories
  • Ryback & CM Punk with table accessory
  • Cody Rhodes & Goldust with two Tag Team Championship accessories

Since making their way onto the tag team scene of WWE, Los Matadores  have become fan favorites as they are accompanied by El Torito and wear flamboyant, colorful outfits. With wrestling skill to back up their antics, wrestling figure fans will likely pit them against their other established tag teams.

Although CM Punk has disappeared from the WWE radar, the now disgruntled Ryback still attempts to make as much of an impact as possible. With a table accessory, this Battle Pack could be a wrestling figure fan’s way to send CM Punk out the door correctly, with a massive loss to the machine, Ryback. Or, the Battle Pack could set the stage for CM Punk’s triumphant return.

Cody Rhodes and Goldust are living out their dream of being siblings working together and taking the WWE by storm. This Battle Pack will likely commemorate their hugely successful WWE Tag Team Championship run, capturing the titles from The Shield and defending them against worthy suitors. An updated Mattel WWE Goldust figure has been sought after by fans so they likely won’t be disappointed!

Tons Of Funk: Headed For Heartbreak?

After returning to the WWE with an angry thought process, Tensai cooled down when he joined the party-all-night mentality of Brodus Clay and his Funkadactyls. This friendship created the team Tons of Funk, two big fellas partying their way all the way to the ring:

Brodus Clay and Tensai are Tons of Funk!

Brodus Clay and Tensai are Tons of Funk!

Recently, Brodus Clay has been losing his party all the time attitude. After teaching Tensai so much about having a good time, Brodus has lost sight of what it means to enjoy yourself and has begun acting out and moving down a belligerent pathway. Tensai has tried to maintain a cool demeanor but it’s clear he’s getting more and more upset with Brodus Clay’s uncool actions as time goes on. In any case, they both are represented well in Mattel WWE action figures, like Tensai’s Mattel WWE Elite 23 figure, including entrance gear:

Mattel WWE Elite 23 Tensai!

Mattel WWE Elite 23 Tensai!

In Mattel WWE Elite 25, Brodus Clay’s sporting some multi-colored, colorful white and orange entrance gear:

Mattel WWE Elite 25 Brodus Clay!

Only time will tell if Brodus Clay and Tensai’s friendship will last, but in the meantime, Tons Of Funk is slated to be released together in Mattel WWE Battle Packs 27. Will they last long enough to see their commemorative Battle Pack be released?

The Animal Returns? Batista Back in Mattel WWE Form?

The wrestling rumor mill is always busy this time a year as the WWE Royal Rumble is only about a month from Christmas and it’s always filled with ideas and thoughts as to who would surprise the WWE Universe and show up for a shot at the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Recently, ‘The Animal’ Batista has been rumored to be making a return to the WWE after an almost 4 year absence. Here are two of his most popular Mattel WWE figures and another which could hint towards his return:

 

Mattel WWE Series 1 Batista!

Mattel WWE Series 1 Batista!

Batista was a big part of the Mattel WWE Series launch, as seen here in his Series 1 wrestling action figure. With tattoos accurate to the time and some bright, classy red trunks, Batista was showcased as one of the star members of the WWE roster.

Mattel WWE Elite 6 Batista!

Mattel WWE Elite 6 Batista!

In Elite 6, Batista came back with a bad attitude and more tattoos. Wearing too-cool-for-school sunglasses, Batista’s final Elite figure before leaving the WWE was rude, crude, and exclaimed that basketballs don’t hold grudges. This has been Batista’s most sought after Mattel WWE action figure.

Mattel WWE WrestleMania XXX Batista vs. Brock Lesnar!

Mattel WWE WrestleMania XXX Batista vs. Brock Lesnar!

To commemorate WrestleMania XXX, Mattel released this Batista vs. Brock Lesnar ‘Fantasy Matchup’ Battle Pack showcasing a possible fight between The Animal and The Beast. Though Brock sports a classic look, Batista appears as though he never left and is ready to step back into the ring. The timing may be coincidental, but it seems as though Batista’s return to the WWE is imminent!

Rey Mysterio’s Mattel WWE Wrestling Figure Popularity!

Time and time again, Rey Mysterio is released in a new, colorful attire in the Mattel WWE line. To older collectors this is sometimes frustrating but to many fans of the Lucha Libre legend, this is too good to be true. With more Mattel WWE figures than almost any other WWE Superstar, Rey Mysterio is prominently featured. Here are a few of his current, most popular (and colorful) favorites:

Mattel WWE Elite 24 Rey Mysterio!

Mattel WWE Elite 24 Rey Mysterio!

In Mattel WWE Elite 24, Rey Mysterio sports a skeletal, gothic and Halloween style theme that’s sure to make Jack Skellington blush. Including Elite articulation, this elaborate design based on Mexican folklore suits Rey Mysterio perfectly.

Mattel WWE Battle Packs 23 Rey Mysterio vs. Kofi Kingston!

Mattel WWE Battle Packs 23 Rey Mysterio vs. Kofi Kingston!

Facing off with a youngster like Kofi Kingston is a piece of cake for the veteran Rey Mysterio. His love for comic book characters and superheroes shines through in Mattel WWE Battle Packs 23, as his ring attire resembles the caped crusader, Batman. Still sporting his unique Rey Mysterio scheme and style, Rey pays tribute to Bruce Wayne’s alter ego by suiting up with ears and even a cape.

Mattel WWE Entrance Greats Rey Mysterio!

Mattel WWE Entrance Greats Rey Mysterio!

One of the first released Mattel WWE Rey Mysterio figures, this Entrance Greats piece includes an elaborate head dress based on Rey’s Aztec entrance attire from WrestleMania XXII! Now harder to find but still a classic, this figure shows just how over the top Rey Mysterio’s entrance gear can get, and just how detailed his look always is!

Mattel WWE Ringside Collectibles Exclusive Flash Rey Mysterio!

Mattel WWE Ringside Collectibles Exclusive Flash Rey Mysterio!

Not only is it the first Mattel WWE Ringside Collectibles Exclusive, this Rey Mysterio further celebrates the master of the 619’s love for comic book super heroes! Dressed in an attire inspired by The Flash of DC Comics, Rey Mysterio is no stranger to high speeds and dangerous situations. As unique as Rey Mysterio can get, this figure embodies all of his creativity.
