The Usos and Rikishi…Like Father Like Sons!

Mattel WWE Battle Packs 28 The Usos!

The Usos are the hottest tag team in the WWE today, and arguably the best in the world as they carry the WWE Tag Team Championships! Their island-style, urban personalities and excellent team-work have brought them great success and the foundation for this can at times be attributed to their equally successful father, former WWE wrestler and Superstar Rikishi Fatu. Rikishi was a staple of the WWE Attitude Era, dancing with Too Cool and chasing the WWE Championship at his pique. The Usos dance at the end of every successful match, just like their dad, and carry his fearless, carefree attitude.

Released in Mattel WWE Elite 27 with an entrance sarong accessory and sunglasses, Rikishi has always known how to get the fans on their feet and behind his in-ring challenges. Finishing his matches with the ‘stink face’ finisher, he left his mark on his opponent and shocked fans around the world regularly. He has returned to the WWE in recent years to celebrate with his sons, Jimmy and Jey Uso, when they happen to have victories on nights that he is around.

In Mattel WWE Battle Packs 28, the Usos are scheduled to make their long awaited return to the Mattel WWE line. It is a complete mystery as to what they will look like, but they have featured new, colorful outfits and elaborate face paint since their last Mattel WWE Battle Pack was released. The influence that Rikishi has had on the Usos is clear in that they tend to maintain a happy-go-lucky yet confidently aggressive approach to any and all matches they perform in. Their unique entrance is also similar to Rikishi’s in that it gets a reaction from the WWE Universe in attendance every time. Soon, fans will be able to have both Rikishi and the Usos in one place and have a tag team match featuring two generations.

Mattel WWE Elite 27 Prototype Images Revealed!

After months of speculation on their overall appearance, the Mattel WWE Elite 27 figures have finally been revealed! Ringside Collectibles has the images and they are wildly colorful!

Mattel WWE Elite 27 includes:

  • Rikishi
  • Undertaker
  • Rob Van Dam
  • Fandango
  • Kofi Kingston
  • Billy Gunn
Mattel WWE Elite 27 Kofi Kingston!

Kofi Kingston’s latest includes an ‘I Can Fly’ shirt in black and yellow and Kofi’s amazing new long tights design! With orange abound and his symbols on both knees, it looks just like him.

Mattel WWE Elite 27 Rob Van Dam!

Mattel WWE Elite 27 Rob Van Dam!

Fans have long awaited Rob Van Dam’s first Mattel WWE treatment and they get it with a steel chair to administer plenty of coast to coasts here. Mattel ended up going with an elaborate dragon design with RVD in green in the front and sculpting a spot on likeness of The Whole F’n Show. For his first time in the line, and what probably won’t be his last, it’s a great effort.

Mattel WWE Elite 27 Fandango!

Fandango’s first Mattel WWE Elite certainly causes fans to say his name correctly. With an amazingly detailed zebra print pair of multi-colored ring pants and a multi-colored ring vest, he’s ready for action in the most animated way possible. It will only  be a matter of time before Mattel WWE figure fans are using him to dance his way to their ring set ups.

Mattel WWE Elite 27 Undertaker!

Mattel WWE Elite 27 Undertaker!

After an extremely long main line Mattel WWE Elite absence, Undertaker rises from the grave with his most recent and most intense look yet. His entrance robe, complete with spikes and perfect molding, adds a darkness like never before and finally gives fans the modern day Undertaker they’ve been looking for.

Mattel WWE Elite 27 Rikishi!

Two out of the three Attitude Era staples included in this set, Rikishi is definitely a too cool Elite figure. His ability to dance won’t come into question with the inclusion of his yellow and black sunglasses for a post match groove session, but his detailed entrance sarong brings the figure to an additional level of detail and closer to being just like the real thing.

Mattel WWE Elite 27 Billy Gunn!

Mattel WWE Elite 27 Billy Gunn!

D-Generation X member Billy Gunn puts the Mr. in Mr. Ass with his Mattel WWE Elite 27 figure. With interchangeable headbands, two DX shirts and detailed green trunks and knee pads with kisses all over, he’s the one many fans have been waiting for. The Elite articulation will be perfect to administer the Fameasser to opponents for those looking to re-create New Age Outlaws worthy wrestling figure matches.

Still on Pre-Order for Mid-March, fans can’t wait to get their hands on this set and its excellent selection of colorful, legendary and modern day Superstars.

Mattel WWE Elite 27 Finally Up For Pre-Order!

Mattel WWE Elite 27 is one of the most anticipated Mattel WWE wrestling action figures sets of all time. Featuring three Flashbacks and three sought after modern day Superstars, this set is bound to be one of the most popular Mattel WWE Elite sets ever. The set features:

  • Undertaker
  • Billy Gunn
  • Fandango
  • Rob Van Dam
  • Kofi Kingston
  • Rikishi

The Undertaker has yet to have a main line Mattel WWE Elite figure sporting his new hairdo. This will hopefully be the figure that those who love the current Phenom have been waiting for.

Fandango’s first Mattel WWE Elite figure has extra articulation and a vest so fans can re-enact all his entrance shenanigans and pose him as a true dancer.

Kofi Kingston’s figure is still a bit of a mystery. Will it include an Intercontinental Championship from his latest short-lived run? Or will he be sporting his new long tights?

Once one of the most popular WWE Superstars, Rikishi Fatu grooved his way into the hearts of many Attitude Era fans. His figure will most likely offer plenty of stink-faces to go around.
Rob Van Dam triumphantly returned to the WWE at Money in The Bank 2013. A classic and beloved Superstar, this is his first Mattel WWE figure so fans of The Whole F’n Show are truly excited.

Affectionately called Mr. Ass, Billy Gunn makes his return to WWE action figures following his long-time partner Road Dogg in Mattel WWE Elite 26. Having the New Age Outlaws together again will be perfect for Attitude Era enthusiasts.
