Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose, The Bella Twins, Goldust & Stardust all had a great time at the event, signing autographs and taking pictures for fans as they got to see the newest Mattel WWE toys.
A Mattel WWE Defining Moments Hulk Hogan had fans oohing, ahhing and getting excited to let Hulkamania run wild as they finally get their hands on the Hulkster himself. The figure comes with a cloth shirt, old-school WWE Championship, bandana & chain, making a perfect first representation of Hogan as he enters the Mattel WWE line. He was also present at the event in WWE basic forms, both classic style and modern day style!
Dean Ambrose, who signed autographs at the event and met tons of fans, got a first look at his newest Mattel WWE figure, complete with street-fighting look that he has made famous since the disbandment of The Shield.
Fans of the ‘Bad Guy’ Scott Hall were treated to another look at the upcoming Mattel WWE Defining Moments Razor Ramon figure, complete in purple attire and ready to flick tooth picks at opponents!
Overall, Ringside Fest 2014 was a great success and fans were treated to closer looks of Mattel WWE figures that they didn’t get to see up close at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con. The fans were happy, the WWE Superstars were happy and Ringside Collectibles was thrilled to have so many loyal customers, fans and friends at Carolines on Broadway in New York City!
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!
Mattel WWE Elite 28 Triple H Wrestling Figure!
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.
Mattel WWE Series 37 Randy Orton!
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.
Mattel WWE Elite Series 30 Revealed!
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 Rejoins Evolution in 2014! Just in Time for a Mattel WWE Figure!
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.
The Thorn in the Side of Evolution – The Shield!
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.

Wrestling action figure fans were able to snag Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins in Elite Series 25 but had to wait to complete the trio with Roman Reigns in Elite Series 26. Now that all three are in stock, one of the hottest teams of the past decade is complete with total articulation.
Dean Ambrose in Mattel WWE Elite 25!
Dean Ambrose, the unofficial leader of The Shield, has come into his own as the most vocal member of the group. He includes a video camera for recording viral videos and a folding chair incase the action gets too intense to handle with just fists.
Seth Rollins in Mattel WWE Elite 25!
Seth Rollins has put his foot forward in The Shield, becoming a Tag Team specialist and capturing the Championships with Roman Reigns. He adds balance to the group which is perfect for administering justice. He includes a breakaway table and tall ladder, just like The Shield made themselves famous with in 2012.
Roman Reigns in Mattel WWE Elite 26!
The quiet muscle of the group, Roman Reigns does not like to be pushed around and is beastly in his demeanor. He has perfected a version of the spear and defends The Shield’s brand of justice with brute strength. His figure includes a barricade so his devastating finisher can be re-enacted.
