San Diego Comic-Con 2014 Mattel WWE Panel Revealed!

July 13th, 2014 by Ringside Figures

The Mattel WWE San Diego Comic-Con 2014 Panel!

Mattel and WWE have made huge, strong showings at the San Diego Comic-Con since partnering up in 2010, and 2014 looks to be no different. With perhaps their most exciting panel ever, the 2014 San Diego Comic-Con brings top WWE Superstars and Legends to the stage and multiplies the excitement! The official statement reads:

Thursday, July 24 • 10:15am – 11:15am

Mattel and WWE: Over-the-Top-Action!
Two of the world’s top entertainment companies have teamed up for the ultimate panel at SDCC. WWE Superstars and Mattel designers will talk about the all-new WWE Network and give exclusive sneak peeks of Mattel’s upcoming WWE figure releases! Incredible guest appearances by Hulk Hogan, Daniel Bryan, Michael Cole, Paul Heyman, and you never know what else will be unveiled. This is a panel you won’t want to miss, brother!

The inclusion of Hulk Hogan opens a floodgate of questions that Mattel will hopefully (and likely) answer. With so many different iconic looks throughout his legendary career, a Mattel WWE Hulk Hogan figure comes with endless possibilities. With the nWo, Hulk Hogan’s classic runs as WWE Champion or even his return to the WWE in 2002, Hogan will have the more impact on the Mattel WWE line than arguably anyone produced as a Mattel WWE figure before him.

Daniel Bryan is currently on the WWE ‘disabled list’ but after his appearance at Money in the Bank 2014, is clearly still beloved. His appearance at SDCC 2014 is his only announced appearance for WWE in the near future, so it will give fans a chance to see him again and to check out more of his updated (and spot on) Mattel WWE figures.

Michael Cole has history with Daniel Bryan and the entire WWE Universe as they love to hate him but deep down, wouldn’t be able to live without him. With only one Mattel WWE figure to date, it’s possible that he could be announced in another line or just be showing up to give fans a hard time. Depending on which of Michael Cole’s diverse personalities we are getting, he will add an element of fun.

Paul Heyman, legendary in his own right, will likely have plenty to say about Brock Lesnar, the Undertaker, and even Daniel Bryan. With underlying conflict floating through the air, the pot will likely be stirred by Heyman and wherever he is, his ‘clients’ can’t be far behind. With two Mattel WWE figure treatments to his name, Paul Heyman can always be due for more.

Also, Mattel will be offering sneak peeks at upcoming Mattel WWE figures as they do every year. With so many amazing wrestling figures produced so far, fans still have loads of legends and modern superstars they want to see given the treatment. San Diego Comic-Con is always a big step in filling that need for collectors and fans!

Mattel WWE Series 41 Now Available For Pre-Order!

May 16th, 2014 by Ringside Figures

The Mattel WWE Series 41 wrestling action figures!

The newly announced Mattel WWE Series 41 will feature some of the most powerful, intense and silly WWE Superstars that the WWE has to offer! The set is now up for pre-order and includes:

Santino Marella
Bray Wyatt
Daniel Bryan
Drew McIntyre
Antonio Cesaro
Fandango

Santino Marella receives his first Mattel WWE figure treatment since the pique of the “Cobra era” and he still carries the old, trusty snake around. This figure could possible feature that Cobra built in once again, but chances are we could be seeing a standard Santino this time around.

The whole world is in the hands of Bray Wyatt, who just recently enjoyed the release of his first ever Mattel WWE figure. This time around we can likely see a more colorful shirt or a different type of ring pants from the frightening Wyatt Family leader. Hopefully his Mattel WWE action figure won’t hypnotize the young owners who enjoy playing with it!

Antonio Cesaro has cemented his place as one of the strongest members of the WWE roster after winning the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal and swinging some of the biggest WWE Superstars like rag dolls. He has proven to be a literal super man, and will more than likely receive a new headsculpt treatment after his previous Mattel WWE Series figure left fans with a bit to be desired in that respect.

Fandango has danced his way into our hearts and souls providing arrogant comic relief amongst his wrestling talent. His latest Mattel WWE figure could feature a different style of facial hair and with so many colorful attire choices, it wouldn’t be surprising to see the most colorful Fandango yet, and that’s saying a lot.

Drew McIntyre has let his intensity hang loose to take a much more laid back approach to the WWE as a member of the 3 Man Band. 3MB finds McIntyre wearing leather pants, head bands and rocking out with the other members. This will be the first Drew McIntyre Mattel WWE wrestling figure in quite a while, so fans will more than likely be excited to expand their roster with him if they didn’t get the chance when he was a bit more…serious.

The leader of the Yes! Movement, Daniel Bryan has followed his dreams and made them all come true. He shows up in Mattel WWE Series 41 and will hopefully have a new headsculpt and an excited demeanor. His outfit will likely show off his style as WWE World Heavyweight Champion or even throw back to the challenges he faced while chasing that championship glory. Either way, the WWE Universe will be able to get behind their current leader.

Mattel WWE Elite 28 Prototype Images Revealed!

April 29th, 2014 by Ringside Figures

The Mattel WWE Elite 28 wrestling action figures have finally been officially revealed by Mattel through prototype images! These sharp, detailed pictures show off the latest Mattel WWE has to offer in their Elite lineup, featuring the hottest and most sought after WWE Superstars with Elite style articulation. The Mattel WWE Elite 28 Series includes:

Daniel Bryan
Triple H
Big Show
Demolition Crush
Bray Wyatt
John Cena

Mattel WWE Elite 28 Big Show Wrestling Figure!

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!

Mattel WWE Elite 28 Triple H Wrestling Figure!

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.

Mattel WWE Elite 28 Demolition Crush Wrestling Figure!

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.

Mattel WWE Elite 28 John Cena Wrestling Figure!

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.

Mattel WWE Elite 28 Bray Wyatt Wrestling Figure!

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.

Mattel WWE Elite 28 Daniel Bryan Wrestling Figure!

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!

March 31st, 2014 by Ringside Figures

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.

Mattel WWE Elite 28 Triple H…in a suit?

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.

Mattel WWE Elite 28 Daniel Bryan…with The Beard Is Here shirt!

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.

Mattel WWE Elite 28 Triple H in wrestling attire!

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.

Mattel WWE Elite 28 Daniel Bryan…with Respect The Beard shirt!

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 Series 41 Lineup Revealed!

March 24th, 2014 by Ringside Figures

Mattel WWE Series 41 Lineup Revealed!

The Mattel WWE Series 41 lineup has recently been announced, and it features characters long in need of basic Mattel WWE attire updates. Wrestling figure fans are excited about the mix of newcomers and solid Superstars getting new treatments. WWE Series 41 includes:

Daniel Bryan
Drew McIntyre
Santino Marella
Antonio Cesaro
Fandango
Bray Wyatt

Daniel Bryan has been leading the Yes! Movement and proving just how important he is to the future and survival of the WWE. Praised by fans and fellow Superstars alike, he has received bearded wrestling figure treatments in the past, but none as scraggly and scruffy as his current look. This release gives the opportunity for a new and improved, Yes! Movement Daniel Bryan full of facial expression and bearded goodness.

The ‘Chosen One’ Drew McIntyre has come a long way since his days as the approved future by Mr. McMahon. Now a member of 3MB or 3 Man Band, he rocks a cowboy style and yells and screams on his way to the ring like a true musician. His new attire has long been sought after and fans will finally be treated to a Drew McIntyre more in the vein of rock and roll.

Antonio Cesaro has taken full advantage of his ‘friendship’ with Jack Swagger and approval of Zeb Colter, becoming one of the quickest rising Superstars in the WWE. His partnership with the ‘Real Americans’ may not last forever, but his latest Mattel WWE treatment will most likely reflect his time as the protégé of Zeb Colter and the man gaining the jealous ire of the All American American, Jack Swagger.

With one of the most popular figure treatments last year and one of the hottest holiday toys, Fandango has a lot to brag about when it comes to being represented as a wrestling figure. With his array of colorful outfits and dance-style ring pants, it was only a matter of time before Mattel released another, this time possibly carrying a new facial hair style.

Santino Marella attacks with the ‘cobra’ when no one is looking, but has lately not been hiding much in view of the WWE Universe. Teaming with NXT standout Emma and offering a silliness that no one else in the WWE seems to, Santino hasn’t changed his look much in the past few years, but with an unlimited amount of facial expressions there’s no telling what his Mattel WWE figure could offer.

The Wyatt Family has taken the WWE Universe by storm. Their leader, Bray Wyatt, has convinced many in the WWE and beyond to be extremely afraid of he and his band of followers. A thorn in the side of John Cena, Bray Wyatt will see a Mattel WWE release in Series 39, but this could offer a new facial expression or t-shirt as he has shown to be well versed in bayou-style fashion. Wrestling figure fans will no doubt follow the buzzards to Bray Wyatt’s latest release.

The Dangerous Elimination Chamber and its Mattel WWE Superstar Participants!

February 19th, 2014 by Ringside Figures

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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 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 Elite 28 Figures Now Available For Pre-Order!

February 17th, 2014 by Ringside Figures

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

Mattel WWE Elite 28 John Cena!

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.

Mattel WWE Elite 28 Demolition Crush!

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.

Mattel WWE Elite 28 Bray Wyatt!

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.

Mattel WWE Elite 28 Big Show!

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.

Mattel WWE Elite 28 Triple H!

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.

Mattel WWE Elite 28 Daniel Bryan!

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.

Randy Orton Has A Target On His Back…Will He Survive??

February 17th, 2014 by Ringside Figures

Due the current wrestling landscape, an often overlooked conversation is the survival of the WWE World Heavyweight Champion as he tries to avoid a loss to any oncoming challengers. The idea is overlooked even more with Randy Orton, who fans and members of the locker room alike feel cheated his way to a title reign because of a partnership with Triple H and the rest of the WWE corporate body. While many potential contenders including the Elimination Chamber participants and anyone else looking to get a shot at the gold and their struggles are often discussed by the WWE Universe, the struggle for Randy Orton to fend them off is an even greater one.

Mattel WWE Battle Packs 28 Randy Orton vs. Daniel Bryan!

Perhaps what began all the modern day struggles for The Viper was his Money in the Bank briefcase win at WWE Money In The Bank 2013. After making his way up the ladder with all of his opponents laid out, he grabbed his chance at the WWE Championship, used it on Daniel Bryan with the help of Triple H at Summerslam 2013 and didn’t look back until he was the WWE World Heavyweight Champion. Now, the playing field is even smaller and those looking to dethrone him, especially Daniel Bryan who he took advantage of to begin with, are ready to make repeated attempts until it happens. Here, Randy Orton and Daniel Bryan call back to their Summerslam 2013 interaction in Mattel WWE Battle Packs 28.

Mattel WWE Elite 21 Randy Orton!

Randy Orton’s ability and strength cannot be denied despite his cheating ways and the Mattel WWE figures that reflect that best come in the Elite style. In Mattel WWE Elite 21, Randy Orton sports an RKO t-shirt and superior articulation, offering his finishing move of the RKO out of nowhere and helping wrestling figure fans re-create his intensity working up to that move or his beautiful standing dropkicks.

Mattel WWE Series 37 Randy Orton!

Randy Orton has been a staple at WrestleMania since debuting in the WWE and perhaps his greatest personal challenge is a thirst for participating in the WWE’s main event. The WWE Universe has seen him suffer defeats and earn triumphs at WrestleMania, but with his current interactions and friendship with Triple H his participation at WrestleMania XXV comes to mind. In Mattel WWE Series 37, the WrestleMania Heritage series flashes back to a time when Randy Orton and Triple H were at odds with plenty of personal attacks. Randy Orton, as WWE World Heavyweight champion, can truly trust no one, not even the person aiding him in his attempts at glory.

Mattel WWE Super Strikers Randy Orton!

The Mattel WWE Super Strikers Randy Orton shows the true darkness behind the eyes of the Apex Predator, with a face of anger, power and explosive frustration. When the wrestling figures legs are squeezed together, a double hook move can be performed but perhaps more telling about the release is the inclusion of a chair. Randy Orton will go to any lengths to get what he wants and this figure is the perfect example of that willingness to gain.

Sin Cara’s Identity Crisis!

January 30th, 2014 by Ringside Figures

Fans remember Sin Cara’s original identity crisis. His usually explosively high flying and fan-friendly personality was suddenly replaced with a mean, angry demeanor that shocked everyone, including his opponent at the time, Daniel Bryan. Having matches with Daniel Bryan led to vicious attacks for the bearded one at the hands of Sin Cara, who he had before considered a friend and ally. Mattel commemorated their feud in Mattel WWE Battle Packs 17 with a Daniel Bryan and Sin Cara 2-pack.

Mattel WWE Battle Packs 15 Sin Cara vs. Daniel Bryan!

Not only did this Battle Pack feature a folding chair, it included Sin Cara’s first ever Mattel WWE figure and an accurate Daniel Bryan figure to the time of the feud. Things were not all that they seemed, however, as Sin Cara returned to the WWE to confront…Sin Cara. It turned out that Hunico, at the time known as Sin Cara Negro, was imitating the masked warrior and causing trouble as he pretended to be the real Sin Cara. He was soon unmasked and has since adopted the Hunico look and style, as featured in this Mattel WWE Rumblers set with Rey Mysterio.

Mattel WWE Rumblers Hunico & Rey Mysterio!

Hunico is a no-nonsense, street style wrestling performer who may have been put in his place by the real Sin Cara, but has proven he maintains his sneaky demeanor and is ready to attack at any moment.

In the meantime, Sin Cara went from a cold streak, to a hot streak, and back to a cold streak again, all the while gaining a tattoo that fans speculate looks mysteriously like Hunico’s. Hard to prove as no one knows exactly what Sin Cara looks like, but many wonder if Hunico has chosen to take up Sin Cara’s garb again. The question becomes, why has Hunico done this, and what has happened to the real Sin Cara, featured here in Mattel WWE Elite 25 with his latest (and possibly last) Elite figure?

Mattel WWE Elite 25 Sin Cara!

With a watermelon-like, green zebra style print on his outfit, this Sin Cara may be the final incarnation of the ‘good’ Sin Cara the WWE Universe had gotten to know so well. A mystery that WWE refuses to comment on, as they have made no official statement as to the whereabouts, or even possibility of disappearance of any Sin Cara at all. In the meantime, fans have not seen Hunico appear and have only seen a Sin Cara that appears to have a tattoo extremely similar to that of Hunico’s tattoo. A possible coincidence or even a third person wearing the Sin Cara mask would surprise no member of the WWE Universe at this point. For now, Sin Cara figures continue to be released as normal (and without any additional tattoos) like the new 12-inch line in white.

Mattel WWE 12-Inch Sin Cara!

Sin Cara’s 12-inch articulation and high flying ability may soon be a thing of the past, but for now fans continue to speculate about who the man behind the mask actually is.

Daniel Bryan…Free and On His Own! YES! YES! YES!

January 24th, 2014 by Ringside Figures

Daniel Bryan, after a calculated attack that had the entire WWE Universe fooled, has broken free from the control of the Wyatt Family and now stands to take on any and all challenges by himself! Luckily, the American Dragon was only playing possum when he fell victim to Bray Wyatt’s evil tactics. Now, Daniel Bryan is back to the bearded underdog that fans love, and he has more looks to add to his arsenal. Here are a few that would make great Mattel WWE figures.

Mattel WWE Daniel Bryan in Wyatt Family Attire!

Daniel Bryan didn’t only succumb to an attack by the Wyatt Family, he became one of them. Wrestling in a long coverall outfit reminiscent of the other members and even Michael Myers from Halloween, Bryan had many convinced he had joined the cult-like family for good. A Mattel WWE figure representing this would immortalize a dark time for him.

Money in the Bank Winner Daniel Bryan with jacket in Mattel WWE form!

The look that began it all, Daniel Bryan’s confidence began to heat up as did his presence and the course of his actions. He sported a leather jacket and short haired, tight bearded attire on his way to the ring, ready to strike and capture the World Heavyweight Championship at any moment. The jacket and briefcase would make for two sought after accessories that wrestling figure fans would covet. A short haired look before the ‘YES’ and ‘NO’ days would also add to Bryan’s classic style figure.

Daniel Bryan Mattel WWE Figure with ‘Respect the Beard’ Shirt!

Even Mr. McMahon can see that Daniel Bryan’s popularity is a force to be reckoned with. Pointing to the sky and leading fans along with chants of agreement, Bryan began wearing a ‘Respect the Beard’ shirt around the time of his WWE Championship win (and loss) at Summerslam 2013. The shirt cemented Bryan’s place as a top WWE Superstar with more than just a catch phrase, but a complete and total image. The attire underneath the shirt could no doubt be based on his match with John Cena and his subsequent match with Randy Orton.

Modern Day Mattel WWE Daniel Bryan!

Daniel Bryan has worn wrestling tights with more of a reddish-maroon base these days, making a brighter color his style. With his long hair, sometimes messily combed back and big ol’ beard, his modern day look into 2014 is a clear composite of all Daniel Bryan’s qualities. With dragons still included and sheer wrestling ability to boot, his nickname ‘The American Dragon’ is extremely fitting. A new figure could be based on his appearance at Royal Rumble 2014 or even better, a close look at his likely WrestleMania XXX appearance! Daniel Bryan is in the WWE for good, making his mark and whether ‘upper management’ likes it or not, becoming one of the most popular WWE Superstars the world has ever seen.
