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!
The Mattel WWE Elite 30 wrestling action figures are now available for pre-order! With a great mix of modern day Superstars and WWE Legends, fans are already clamoring for this Elite sets’ release!
Mattel WWE Elite 30 includes:
Lex Luger
Brock Lesnar
Ryback
Animal (Legion of Doom)
Hawk (Legion of Doom)
Batista
With Lex Luger’s first Mattel WWE figure treatment ever, fans are to be treated to a representation of the Lex Express himself during his pique WWE days just before jumping ship to WCW. Likely red, white and blue American style attire will be what Lex dons for his first Mattel release and a physique like no other, full of unmatched muscle.
Brock Lesnar has not received an updated Mattel WWE Elite since Series 19, so fans of the Next Big Thing will likely be thrilled to see an updated version of the man who single-handedly destroyed Undertaker’s WrestleMania reputation. Expect a bigger, badder and angrier version of the life-time Paul Heyman guy.
Ryback has re-invented himself as a tag team specialist but his brute strength and size have remained the same as he jumps in to another Mattel WWE Elite set. With a selection of singlets as massive as his arms, Mattel should have no problem delivering a detailed, exciting version of the Big Guy to the Feed Me Morons.
The Legion of Doom includes Hawk and Animal and were represented in the Mattel WWE Legends 1 Series with old school attires. Leaving a bit to be desired for fans in both look and body shape, Hawk and Animal make their return in Mattel WWE Elite 30, likely in the red and black Road Warrior gear they are most well known for. With rumors of a new body shape for Animal, Hawk can’t be far behind and wrestling figure collectors will receive the versions of this legendary tag team that they’ve been waiting for.
Batista made his return to the WWE just in time for the Royal Rumble. Despite negative fan reaction and leaving the WWE once again, he has forced himself to stay overwhelmingly positive and take the feedback of the haters with a grain of salt. All hate aside, wrestling figure fans are looking for an updated, modern day version of the Animal who makes his first appearance in an Elite set since his original departure.

In your Mattel WWE collection, Lana and Rusev own you! The Russian beauty and her beast of a WWE Superstar have taken the WWE Universe by storm. With a striking look being delivered by Lana and immense pain being delivered by Rusev, the sky seems to be the limit for these newcomers hailing from the motherland. A Mattel WWE wrestling figure of both WWE Superstar Rusev and WWE Diva Lana are on the horizon and shining on wrestling figure collectors like a red sun! Whether they are together or separate, both will be sought after by the fans.
Mattel WWE Lana wrestling figure!
Lana wears here incredible ‘well fitted’ suits to the WWE ring week after week and fans are as jaw-dropped by her beauty as they are by her harsh, intense words. Coming in multiple colors, when Lana is released as a Mattel WWE figure her fashionable suits will offer multiple options. She is striking in black, but some may prefer her blue suits or even a ravishing red.
Mattel WWE Rusev wrestling action figure!
Rusev’s intensity and beastly size will more than likely require a new body mold from Mattel to capture his physique perfectly and truly offer a great representation. With huge arms, a giant frame and a no-nonsense wrestling attitude, fans want to grab Rusev to complete their roster of newcomers who have burst on to the WWE scene. His trunks have seldom changed, showing off his huge, muscular thighs and bearing his name in a harsh blue or red and black. His Mattel WWE figure will most likely include his standard outfit. An Elite Rusev could include additional accessories as Rusev begins to grow and add to his arsenal.
Lana and Rusev as Mattel WWE wrestling action figures!
All good, powerful things come in pairs and there is nothing more obviously meant to be paired than Rusev and Lana in a Mattel WWE Battle Pack. Lana’s introduction of Rusev make him a cold, calculated opponent on the way to the ring. For the two of them to be together and immortalized in a Mattel WWE Battle Pack would be a win for fans of the duo…and a win for Mother Russia!

Mattel WWE Defining Moments Ric Flair wrestling action 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.
Mattel WWE Defining Moments Ric Flair wrestling action figure!
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.
Mattel WWE Defining Moments Ric Flair wrestling action figure!
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.
Mattel WWE Defining Moments Ric Flair wrestling action figure!
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.
Mattel WWE Defining Moments Ric Flair robe and championship accessories!
Mattel WWE Defining Moments Ric Flair wrestling action figure!
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.

Mattel WWE Battle Packs 29 wrestling action figures!
The Mattel WWE Battle Packs 29 set features some of the hottest tag teams and rivalries in the WWE today! With newcomers, close siblings and deep rooted grudge matches, the variety is clear this time around. Mattel WWE Battle Packs 29 includes:
Los Matadores
Cody Rhodes & Goldust (The Rhodes Brothers)
CM Punk vs. Ryback
Since debuting in the WWE, Los Matadores have brought a stark contrast to the seriousness of the tag team division’s mainstays like The Shield and the Wyatt Family. With wildly exaggerated movesets and eccentric bull fighter outfits, they have become fan favorites among the WWE’s younger generation of fans. With their bull El Torito accompanying them to the ring, their matches have proved entertaining. The Mattel WWE Los Matadores figures will likely feature their pink face masks and current outfits. El Torito is also rumored to be released in an upcoming Mattel WWE Series set, so fans who love Los Matadores will be able to re-create their unique brand of silly action.
Cody Rhodes and Goldust enjoyed a renaissance as they teamed together and captured the WWE Tag Team Championships. Brothers who have long wanted to work together but have been unable to, Cody Rhodes and Goldust took advantage of the opportunity they were given and had a successful run. However, they have since lost their championship glory and Cody has grown increasingly frustrated with his brother. While they haven’t quite moved on from each other, the outlook doesn’t look great. Maybe if they saw their triumphant team-up immortalized in Mattel WWE wrestling figure form they would be more apt to work out their differences.
CM Punk has not been seen nor heard from in the WWE since the 2014 Royal Rumble. Ryback, who once feuded heavily with CM Punk, has moved on to specialize in tag team wrestling with Curtis Axel, but at one point these two monstrous WWE Superstar personalities were at each others throats. Both former ‘Paul Heyman guys,’ this Mattel WWE Battle Pack will likely commemorate their short feud over the services of a manager they both thought they could trust. Though neither ended up benefiting from Paul Heyman in the end, they managed to do their best to outperform each other and it may have been one of CM Punk’s last great endeavors in the WWE.
The Emmalution strikes our hearts with WWE’s Emma!
Since debuting as a superfan watching WWE live events and producing quality matches during her time on the NXT roster, many fans have fallen in love with the quirkiness of Emma, one of the newest WWE Divas. With a striking entrance theme, striking beauty and a sense of something being just a little ‘off,’ Emma has slowly but surely made her way into the Divas division and has quickly become a contender for the Diva’s Championship. Soon to follow is a likely Mattel WWE Emma wrestling figure, but which aspect of her off the wall personality it will embody most remains to be seen.
A Mattel WWE NXT style Emma!
Emma made a name for herself on the NXT scene by ‘dancing’ to the ring, her hands in the air with sharp, pointed fingers. While in NXT she gained many notable victories and feuded with the likes of Paige and Summer Rae all while showing the WWE Universe what she’s really like. Her outfits showed off an athletic style that proved despite her odd demeanor, she was ready to compete at any time. A blue outfit like the one shown above would be perfectly representative of her time in NXT, but Mattel tends to stick to WWE attires once a talent has moved to the main roster, so it may not be possible.
A Mattel WWE Emma & Santino Marella Battle Pack!
The Mattel WWE Battle Packs are a great way to show off not just WWE Superstar feuds, but successful team ups, and there haven’t been many team ups as successful as Santino Marella and Emma since they found each other. Friendship bordering on infatuation is the only way their relationship can be described and a Mattel WWE Battle Pack featuring Santino and Emma would be a perfect way to bring Emma into the Mattel WWE line with an established WWE Superstar.
A Mattel WWE Diva Emma!
Since debuting in the WWE as an active WWE Diva, Emma’s outfits have gotten a bit more colorful and her attitude a little wilder. The most likely Mattel WWE Emma would feature a look she has sported since her main roster debut. Whether it be her orange outfit or the multicolored style pictured above, wrestling figure fans can expect a style that will make it easy for them to re-enact her somewhat…strange behavior! The Emmalution is coming sooner rather than later and Mattel will no doubt add to their WWE Diva triumphs.

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.

WWE Diva Paige, now the rightful owner of the WWE Diva’s Championship!
Since bursting on to the WWE NXT scene, many wrestling fans have been singing the praises of Paige, a wild, unpredictable and sometimes even a little out there WWE Diva. With a whooping howl and wrestling ability to boot, fans of the Diva during her NXT run anxiously awaited news of her being called up to the main WWE talent roster. Their wish was soon granted as Paige has recently jumped on to the WWE scene, attacked the Divas division and stood triumphant in a matter of weeks. A Mattel WWE Paige figure should in turn not be far behind.
WWE Diva Paige during her stay in NXT!
Paige’s wild outfits directly reflect her wild personality, like this one showing off a look she sported during her time in NXT. With different color schemes, textures and even a leather jacket, it will be exciting to see what approach Mattel decides to take for a Mattel WWE Paige figure. Despite Mattel claiming several times that they were choosing not to produce NXT figures, Paige could be the first possible test of that with her unique looks.
Paige triumped as WWE NXT Women’s Champion!
Paige is also the inaugural NXT Diva’s Champion, so the case could be made for a Mattel WWE Paige figure to come with the NXT Women’s Championship as an accessory. It would celebrate her time in the promotion, give an already classic look to a fresh Diva and make belt collectors happy.
Paige first captures the WWE Diva’s Championship!
Of course, the more likely attire choice would be the outfit that Paige debuted in, won the WWE Diva’s Championship from AJ Lee in and continues to wear during her successful reign. With a purple top and shorts and some wild looking crossovers and studs, Paige sets hearts on fire as she displays tenacity and aggression with her headlocks and noises.
Mattel has hopefully begun preliminary work on a Mattel WWE Paige figure and we could be seeing her sooner rather than later.

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.
