Is Batista Getting the Right Reaction From the WWE Universe?

February 17th, 2014 by Ringside Figures

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.

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.

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!

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.

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?

Batista Returns To Enter The 2014 Royal Rumble!

January 26th, 2014 by Ringside Figures

Dave Batista showed up on WWE Monday Night RAW, returning to the WWE and ready to challenge for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. The Animal was ring ready, putting his attacking skills to work on Alberto Del Rio, delivering the first Batista-Bomb in a WWE ring in nearly 4 years! He also confronted Randy Orton and told him his sights were set on the Viper directly.

After making his grand return, the WWE Universe went wild and with no surprise, Batista’s current Mattel WWE offerings became even more popular.

: Batista is in Mattel WWE Series 37!

First up, a classic style Batista in Mattel WWE Series 37. This figure lacks his current tattoos, making him more accurate to the WrestleMania timeframe he is portraying. With an itty bitty chin hair for intimidation factor and strapped boots, this is the best old school offering for the Animal.

: Batista from the Mattel WWE WrestleMania XXX Battle Packs!

Included in a Mattel WWE Battle Pack celebrating WrestleMania XXX, this Batista figure is a modern day version of The Animal. It has silver and black boots and all of his current, updated tattoos based on the last time he was scanned by Mattel. His beard is a bit different than how he appeared on RAW, but it’s very close to how he looked before returning. The Battle Pack also included The Beast Brock Lesnar, pitting The Animal and The Beast against each other for the first time.

Batista is the easy favorite to win the 2014 Royal Rumble, but he has his work cut out for him as 29 other entrants will no doubt want to main event WrestleMania as well. Good luck, Animal! Walk alone…like you always have.

Mr. Perfect and Curtis Axel FACE OFF!

January 24th, 2014 by Ringside Figures

The late, great Mr. Perfect was known the world around for his perfect demeanor, perfect attitude and perfect executions of athleticism. Wowing fans with incredible skill, tossing a towel from one hand to the other was sometimes all it would take for Curt Hennig to show his greatness. The word ‘Perfect’ in the wrestling world will always be synonymous with Hennig and rightfully so. His son, Curtis Axel, aims to follow in his father’s footsteps, hoping to match some of his dad’s perfect achievements both genetically and socially. Both men are receiving Mattel WWE figures just in time for fans to decide for themselves whether or not Curtis Axel can truly walk along side his dad in a wrestling ring.

Mattel WWE Mr. Perfect Curt Hennig!

Finally making his way into a Mattel WWE series for just the second time, Mr. Perfect sports a yellow and black singlet with white boots and a ‘perfect’ headsculpt. It looks just like him, but it’s up to fans playing with this wrestling figure to perfectly re-enact Mr. Perfect’s Perfectplex. This figure is part of the WrestleMania Heritage Series, so it commemorates Mr. Perfect’s participation in the biggest event of the year.

Mattel WWE Battle Packs 26 Curtis Axel!

Curtis Axel’s only Mattel WWE appearance up to this point had been under the guise of ‘Michael McGillicutty,’ forgotten ex-Nexus member who left WWE with a whimper. Now, in Mattel WWE Battle Packs 26 (included with his boss, Triple H) Curtis Axel tears his way back into the WWE scene. With an adjusted hairline, more accurate body mold and tights reflecting his new name, Curtis Axel is ready to capture the Intercontinental Championship like his father before him and make a unique name for himself.

So who wins out, Mr. Perfect or Curtis Axel? If father and son stepped into the ring together, sparks would no doubt fly but the only way fans can truly know which performer would defeat the other is to re-enact what would no doubt be a classic match themselves with these Mattel WWE wrestling figures.

Roman Reigns Set To Make An Impact At Royal Rumble 2014?!

January 16th, 2014 by Ringside Figures

Roman Reigns has been the standout, powerhouse member of The Shield for the past few months and he continues to break away from his fellow Shield members as they often run into conflict with each other. They remain a unit as of the posting of this blog, but many WWE wrestling fans speculate that at Royal Rumble 2014, Roman Reigns will have a huge turn in the ring and have to choose between his singles career and his membership in The Shield. Only time will tell if Reigns will go on the offensive, but his sheer size, strength and ability have caused discussion in the wake of the 2014 Royal Rumble. Fans of Roman Reigns have several options in the Mattel WWE world to put him on top when playing with wrestling figures.

Mattel WWE Battle Packs 24 Roman Reigns & Seth Rollins!

Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins both debuted as the first ever Mattel WWE The Shield figures and Reigns figure is spot on. With tattoos placed on his shoulder just in time for release, Mattel was able to turn the figure out in a way that fans would appreciate, finally adding members of the justice serving group to their roster.

Mattel WWE Elite 26 Roman Reigns!

In Mattel WWE Elite 26, Roman Reigns got an entire arm tattoo treatment and extra articulation to give the beastly brawler a more accurate look. With accurate sizing and a molded vest, this version of Reigns came with a barricade to let anyone and everyone re-enact the monstrous spears that Roman Reigns loves to dish out.

Mattel WWE Series 37 Roman Reigns!

Reign’s latest Mattel WWE figure comes in Series 37 with a shouting, open mouthed head sculpt that showcases just how wildly powerful he can get when he is in the ring. With a different style of molded vest, this represents Reign’s first appearance at WrestleMania and embodies his intensity.

Despite his newness, Roman Reigns is an easy dark-horse favorite to make a massive attack at the 2014 Royal Rumble and the question isn’t so much his ability, but whether or not that ability will tear apart his team.

Mattel WWE Series 37 Makes Its Way to Pre-Order!

December 31st, 2013 by Ringside Figures

WrestleMania is rich with wrestling history, heritage and stories. Mattel commemorates WrestleMania with the WrestleMania Heritage series, currently showcased in Mattel WWE Series 37. This set has hot up-and-comers, classic stars and even a colorful manager that have all made impactful appearances at the WWE’s biggest show, WrestleMania. The set includes:

Randy Orton
Roman Reigns
Mr. Perfect
Batista
Zeb Colter
Ryback

Still in question is what Mr. Perfect Curt Hennig’s figure in this set will look like. Many fans are hoping for the classic yellow and blue look that made an appearance in Mattel WWE Legends 3, but Mr. Perfect has one many other perfect colors, including red, orange and green.

The Animal Batista is making a major return to the WWE ring on January 20th, 2014. Just in time is his Mattel WWE Series 37 figure with a classic WrestleMania style look. Parted hair and less tattoos show a softer, more heroic side of Batista that hasn’t been seen in a long, long time.

Roman Reigns is one of the hottest rising WWE Superstars. With a masterful spear and an intimidating size, he’s headed for super stardom and beloved by fans despite his association with the villainous stable, The Shield. His Mattel WWE Series 37 figure is intense, sporting a shouting headsculpt and embodies the power of his first WrestleMania appearance.

Ryback has been on a bit of a slump as of late, and he even took a loss to Mark Henry at WrestleMania, but everyone remembers his marching power over the World’s Strongest Man and the sound it made when he went down. He’s wearing the same outfit from WrestleMania 29 in Mattel WWE Series 37.

Mattel WWE Series 37 Zeb Colter!

Zeb Colter appeared in 2012 claiming to be the uncle of Jack Swagger and speaking with the attitude of a man fit for a tea party. At WrestleMania 29 he spoke of his disappointment in the values of every American except himself and The All American American. He finally gets his first Mattel WWE figure in Series 37.

Mattel WWE Series 37 Randy Orton!

Randy Orton has been a staple at many WrestleManias, taking on John Cena, CM Punk and even Triple H among others. He may not have had his career topping moments at the big event but to leave his name out of the WrestleMania conversation is nearly impossible to do. He looks just like the Apex Predator in Mattel WWE Series 37, calculated and cocky.
