Money in the Bank 2013

ROB…VAN….DAM has finally arrived in the Mattel WWE Line!

Rob Van Dam made his triumphant return to the WWE at Money in the Bank 2013, only to be ousted by Alberto Del Rio after a failed attempt at capturing the World Heavyweight Championship. The ‘One of a Kind’ Extreme superstar has been in the minds of fans ever since his re-debut as they anxiously await his return to the WWE ring to see where he will decide to place his talents. It’s possible that he could attempt to capture the United States Championship again from Dean Ambrose, settle his unfinished business with Alberto Del Rio or head straight for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Either way, the WWE Universe and wrestling figure fans will get to return Rob Van Dam to their wrestling rings much earlier. After years of anticipation, Rob Van Dam’s first Mattel WWE figure has been released and another is on the way.

Mattel WWE Elite 27 Rob Van Dam – his first time in the line!

The Mattel WWE Elite 27 Rob Van Dam has seen the light of day and is in the hands of fans worldwide. With a ‘First Time in the Line’ branding, a steel chair accessory and an incredibly detailed deco, this Rob Van Dam fills the long awaited void. Van Dam’s singlet sports a dragon design in the front and a highly detailed ‘RVD,’ with a yin-yang design on the back an plenty of colors. Fans were worried that the details may not come to fruition but Mattel has put their minds at ease.

With Elite articulation, fans can re-enact the VanDaminator, the VanTerminator, the Five Star Frog Splash and the Rolling Thunder at their leisure. Tall boots that accurately reflect the real thing and a scruffy look are just added details that fans couldn’t appreciate more. Despite his absence, fans will luckily have not just the now in stock Mattel WWE Elite 27 Rob Van Dam, but the Mattel WWE Series 39 Rob Van Dam on the way.

Mattel WWE Series 39 Rob Van Dam!

The Mattel WWE Series 39 Rob Van Dam is a basic series figure and RVD’s first time amongst the expansive line. With a flaming blue skull singlet design, Mattel decided to portray a style not often seen on Rob Van Dam and seen even less on any previous Rob Van Dam action figures. Wrestling figure fans are treated to a modern look for the Whole F’n Show and can more than likely expect more wrestling figures to come.

In the meantime, when will Rob Van Dam return to the WWE ring? He has stated numerous times that he hopes to be back in the ring ‘soon’ but there is not an appearance or even a chant in his name in sight. Only time will tell and when it does happen, the WWE Universe will have their new Mattel WWE Rob Van Dam action figures in hand.

Randy Orton Has A Target On His Back…Will He Survive??

Due the current wrestling landscape, an often overlooked conversation is the survival of the WWE World Heavyweight Champion as he tries to avoid a loss to any oncoming challengers. The idea is overlooked even more with Randy Orton, who fans and members of the locker room alike feel cheated his way to a title reign because of a partnership with Triple H and the rest of the WWE corporate body. While many potential contenders including the Elimination Chamber participants and anyone else looking to get a shot at the gold and their struggles are often discussed by the WWE Universe, the struggle for Randy Orton to fend them off is an even greater one.

Mattel WWE Battle Packs 28 Randy Orton vs. Daniel Bryan!

Perhaps what began all the modern day struggles for The Viper was his Money in the Bank briefcase win at WWE Money In The Bank 2013. After making his way up the ladder with all of his opponents laid out, he grabbed his chance at the WWE Championship, used it on Daniel Bryan with the help of Triple H at Summerslam 2013 and didn’t look back until he was the WWE World Heavyweight Champion. Now, the playing field is even smaller and those looking to dethrone him, especially Daniel Bryan who he took advantage of to begin with, are ready to make repeated attempts until it happens. Here, Randy Orton and Daniel Bryan call back to their Summerslam 2013 interaction in Mattel WWE Battle Packs 28.

Mattel WWE Elite 21 Randy Orton!

Randy Orton’s ability and strength cannot be denied despite his cheating ways and the Mattel WWE figures that reflect that best come in the Elite style. In Mattel WWE Elite 21, Randy Orton sports an RKO t-shirt and superior articulation, offering his finishing move of the RKO out of nowhere and helping wrestling figure fans re-create his intensity working up to that move or his beautiful standing dropkicks.

Mattel WWE Series 37 Randy Orton!

Randy Orton has been a staple at WrestleMania since debuting in the WWE and perhaps his greatest personal challenge is a thirst for participating in the WWE’s main event. The WWE Universe has seen him suffer defeats and earn triumphs at WrestleMania, but with his current interactions and friendship with Triple H his participation at WrestleMania XXV comes to mind. In Mattel WWE Series 37, the WrestleMania Heritage series flashes back to a time when Randy Orton and Triple H were at odds with plenty of personal attacks. Randy Orton, as WWE World Heavyweight champion, can truly trust no one, not even the person aiding him in his attempts at glory.

Mattel WWE Super Strikers Randy Orton!

The Mattel WWE Super Strikers Randy Orton shows the true darkness behind the eyes of the Apex Predator, with a face of anger, power and explosive frustration. When the wrestling figures legs are squeezed together, a double hook move can be performed but perhaps more telling about the release is the inclusion of a chair. Randy Orton will go to any lengths to get what he wants and this figure is the perfect example of that willingness to gain.
