An unexpected revolution is now taking place every week on Monday Night RAW. The Divas of the WWE main roster have been overshadowed by the young, hungry Divas of NXT coming to make names for themselves. Among these Divas, Charlotte and Becky Lynch would ally with Paige. However, the so-bad-she’s-good Sasha Banks aligned with Naomi and Tamina, showing that the new Divas aren’t all on the same page. With so many differences between these new WWE Divas, many different Mattel WWE figures won’t be far behind.

- Hornswoggle vs. El Torito
- The Road Warriors (Hawk & Animal)

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.

Butt-Kicking 101 With CM Punk!
CM Punk has shocked the world and WWE fans everywhere time and time again with his words. He shocked the world and WWE fans everywhere once again when he left the WWE after the 2014 Royal Rumble. And he shook the the WWE Universe and the Mixed Martial Arts fanbase as well as the entire sports world when he signed with the UFC! Sadly, this means it is extremely unlikely that we ever see CM Punk in a WWE ring again. This also means it’s extremely likely that we’ve seen our last CM Punk Mattel WWE wrestling action figure. Unless he is produced as a UFC action figure, your chances to get a CM Punk figure lie with these newly released Mattel WWE versions of the Straight Edge Superstar. With CM Punk’s popularity now only set to rise, these are going to become even more difficult to find as time goes on.
The Mattel WWE ECW CM Punk Exclusive appeared only at Ringside Collectibles and commemorated the beginning of CM Punk’s WWE career, wrestling for the ECW brand. Complete with ECW microphone, ECW Championship and gear accurate to the time frame, this smiling CM Punk recalls ‘happier times’ with the WWE. It also shows a CM Punk that is ready to fight.
The Mattel WWE Battle Packs 25 featured the attempt of the Best in the World to break apart the WrestleMania streak of The Phenom himself, The Undertaker. While CM Punk was unsuccessful in his attempt, the WWE Universe saw a grouchy, angry CM Punk that was capable of making a cerebral impact on such a massive Superstar like the Undertaker. After stealing the show at WrestleMania 29, WWE fans knew that CM Punk would never be forgotten and they have the perfect Mattel WWE Battle Pack to commemorate that.
CM Punk has paid tribute to the all time greats before, including Macho Man Randy Savage, but at SummerSlam he paid tribute to the Excellence of Execution with gear in the style of Bret Hart. This often requested and demanded Mattel WWE figure had fans finally feeling satisfied with a ‘Bret Hart’ version of CM Punk in what will likely be a crown jewel of the ongoing SummerSlam Heritage Series.
In what may be the final CM Punk Mattel WWE Elite appearance, Mattel WWE Elite 29 CM Punk includes a version of the weary, war torn and grizzled veteran. He has been to hell and back and still sees a future for himself beating whoever stands in front of him. With a removable fabric hoodie and Elite articulation, this CM Punk offers a version that hits his final appearances in the WWE right on the head. The Mattel WWE Elite 29 CM Punk proves that during his time in WWE, CM Punk truly was a butt-kicker.

Seth Rollins Does Whatever He Can To Rise
Seeing an opportunity to gain the power, fame, fortune and glory of any WWE Superstar before him and trying to make it better and bigger than ever, Seth Rollins made a deal with the devil to become the ‘Plan B’ for the WWE Authority. Turning on his Shield brethren Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns, he chose the easy way out and the path to the top that only a coward would choose. However, he let everyone know he is no coward and was actually more of a genius for taking an approach that would lead him to immediate strength and victory with the help of The Authority. With the wrestling ability to back up his two-faced plans, Seth Rollins threw away his Shield stylings and opted for a newer, futuristic look as he stepped forward. Fans immediately wanted a Mattel WWE Seth Rollins figure that feature his new, flexible chest plate and ring attire.
Looking similar to a super hero, or more appropriately, a super villain, Seth Rollins captured the Money in the Bank briefcase with the help of The Authority and was immediately catapulted to the top of the WWE mountain. His attire shows off a darker, more intense side, one that doesn’t take kindly to criticisms of his decisions and one that will stop at nothing to gain any advantage in becoming WWE World Heavyweight Champion. A massive, silver buckled belt makes Rollins look as though he deserves something even more prestigious around his waist.
When the action gets too intense for even Seth Rollins to handle, his upper body gear is then removed and he looks to compete with just ring tights and gloves. Whether or not Mattel can manage such a skin-tight removable upper body piece remains to be seen, but they will likely create a molded piece for Seth Rollins and a possible alternate version that is ring ready at any time. Either way, Seth Rollins new Mattel WWE figures will be highly sought after by fans who are looking to gain a sneaky competitor in their Mattel WWE collection.

WOOO! Ric Flair is FINALLY a Mattel WWE Wrestling Figure!
The legendary Ric Flair has finally been announced as a Mattel WWE wrestling action figure! The Nature Boy has been noticeably absent from the Mattel WWE line up to this point due to inactivity with the company. That has all changed seemingly over night as Flair, who returned to the WWE what seemed like ages ago, has finally been secured by Mattel with a contract and his first Mattel WWE figure has been revealed! The Defining Moments line, previously ended at Series 5, will make an exception for Ric Flair with a surprise exclusive featuring Flair at his absolute best in Defining Moments packaging.
This version of Flair includes his first ever headsculpt developed by Mattel and after years and years of speculation, fans have not been disappointed as to what he looks like. The limousine ridin’, jet flyin’ handsome Flair has his long, flowing locks and a fight ready expression.
With blue ring attire with his initials sketched into the trunks and on the back of those tall, blue and white laced boots, Flair is one of the all time greats and is finally represented perfectly in a Mattel WWE wrestling action figure. You can almost picture this figure doing the nature walk all by itself.
The Nature Boy wouldn’t be the Nature Boy without a wildly elaborate, detailed entrance robe and Mattel has gone above and beyond to give Flair that in this special wrestling figure treatment. With white trim and a black and white pattern, this robe fits the Nature Boy like a million dollar glove and defines him perfectly. Also included is the World Heavyweight Championship, marking just one of the important titles Flair has held in his career as a 16 time world champion.
Hopefully this is the first of many Ric Flair action figures to come, but if it isn’t, it truly defines just how incredible of a talent and just how unique of a wrestler the Nature Boy is. Mattel has gone above and beyond for the release of the first Ric Flair and taken wrestling figure fans by complete surprise. They wont want to miss their chance to own this exclusive, one of a kind Mattel WWE wrestling figure of one of the most legendary wrestlers of all time.

Evolution is a Mystery…Solved by Mattel WWE Figures!
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!
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.
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.
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 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.
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.

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.
