Christian vs. Sheamus…a Grudge Match Made in Heaven!

March 24th, 2014 by Ringside Figures

Since returning to the WWE, both Sheamus and Christian have not been able to escape each other’s sights. Week after week, they both get under one another’s skin with Sheamus keeping Christian from reaching new heights in the WWE and Christian taking out his frustrations with unnecessary roughness and ruthless aggression on Sheamus. A classic feud has thus been born, much more meaningful and entertaining than the last time the two Superstars met. With plenty to offer from Mattel for WWE action figures of both Captain Charisma and the Celtic Warrior, you can either bring their feud to an end or keep it going forever with endless possibilities.

Mattel WWE Elite 20 Christian!

Perhaps Christian would do better with sensibilities closer to his old style, as featured in Mattel WWE Elite 20. The ‘old school’ Christian Flashback comes with Elite articulation and an aggressive style that was coupled with a sense of humor unlike any other. With removable sunglasses, long hair, and posing for the benefit of those with flash photography, Christian’s sillier days may have posed more of a speedy challenge for Sheamus as opposed to his current heavy, aggressive style. Most likely, Christian feels he is more successful taking his challenges more seriously.

Mattel WWE Elite 25 Sheamus!

The Mattel WWE Elite 25 Sheamus is perfect for any wrestling figure fans or members of the WWE Universe looking to end the feud with Christian with a swift, well placed Brogue Kick. In the ring Christian may come back despite being knocked down time and time again, but it may be more difficult for him when faced with such a well made wrestling figure. Complete with removable shirt and Celtic cross necklace, this Sheamus wrestling figure embodies what it means to be behind the man that loves to fight.

Mattel WWE Series 39 Christian!

The latest Mattel WWE Christian in Series 39 shows off his new smug, aggressive behavior with a new hairstyle and an over-confident smile. With purple tights, Christian has changed colors as often as a chameleon over the years, but still remained the same skilled animal in the wild of the WWE underneath. This figure will represent his recent ruthlessness and relentless attacks on Sheamus and anything else standing between he and the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.

Mattel WWE Series 38 Sheamus!

The Mattel WWE Series 38 Sheamus figure includes a confident smirk and wears newly designed attire, the same style he has been wearing since his return to the WWE ring. This accurately depicts Sheamus (aside from the happy smile) during his current struggles with Christian and his constant need to take out his frustrations. Sheamus is powerful and has so far, always managed to prevail and this figure makes it clear he shows no signs of stopping.

Ringside Collectibles Exclusive 20 Piece Accessory Pack!

Whether you want Sheamus to end Christian’s obnoxious reign or terror or Christian to put Sheamus down for the count once and for all, the Ringside Collectibles Exclusive Jakks 20 Piece Accessory Pack gives you all the necessary tools to have a memorable, hardcore fight. Reminiscent of the matches Sheamus and Christian have been having, the inclusion of a table cart, steel steps, traffic cones and kendo sticks will offer additional combat options.

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.

Royal Rumble 2014…Possible Surprise Entrants!

January 26th, 2014 by Ringside Figures

The WWE Royal Rumble is always a massive event and the inclusion of 30 WWE Superstars always leaves room for entrants either returning to the WWE or showing up for one final shot at gaining WWE glory and main eventing WrestleMania. The 2014 Royal Rumble has offered very few hints as to what possible Superstars from wrestling past could show up, but the possibility of inactive WWE Superstars returning at the event is higher than usual. Here are four WWE Superstars in Mattel WWE form ready to make a big splash and come back.

Mattel WWE Elite 25 Sheamus!

WWE Superstar Sheamus has been inactive since the fall, out with an injury and missing out on the entire authority resistance, WWE World Heavyweight Championship unification and more changes to the landscape of the WWE Universe. Sheamus’ red hair is on fire in this Mattel WWE Elite 25 figure, complete with removable silver chain, Celtic Cross shirt, and silver knee pads, boots and trunks. Sheamus could easily show up at the 2014 Royal Rumble and go on to main event WrestleMania. He is the most likely candidate as he has been absent for the longest amount of time.

Mattel WWE Series 38 Chris Jericho!

Chris Jericho has been absent for a long time, but his presence is still felt and he is constantly asked in his life on the road with his band Fozzy about a potential WWE return. Since he surprised everyone at the 2013 Royal Rumble (which this Mattel WWE Series 38 figure is based on the time directly after), it would come as another shock to the WWE Universe for him to do the same thing two years in a row. He is another candidate to face the WWE World Heavyweight Champion due to his experience both at WrestleMania, and making Royal Rumble returns.

Mattel WWE Series 36 Christian!

Captain Charisma has been plagued with bad luck and injuries since finally becoming a World Champion in 2011. His latest injury was a recurrent concussion, causing all sorts of terrible symptoms and worrying the WWE doctors as to his safety. He showed up in the WWE at the Slammy Awards, letting the WWE Universe know he had new inspiration as a proud father. He could easily take the inspiration to survive in the Royal Rumble and go on to by the WWE World Heavyweight Champion and cementing his place in WWE history forever. His latest Mattel WWE Series 36 figure includes green tights and has a determined, angry headsculpt reminiscent of his World Heavyweight Championship run.

Rob Van Dam has been the life of the WWE party since returning at the 2013 Money In The Bank. He has fought for World Champion gold and showed that he can be a contender. No stranger to surprise Royal Rumble entrances, The Whole F’n Show could make another ‘one of a kind’ appearance in the 2014 Royal Rumble. His Mattel WWE Elite 27 has yet to be revealed, but when it is, it will invoke as much as a surprise as a Royal Rumble 2014 return would.
