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

February 27th, 2014 by Ringside Figures

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.

Royal Rumble 2014…Possible Surprise Entrants!

January 26th, 2014 by Ringside Figures

The WWE Royal Rumble is always a massive event and the inclusion of 30 WWE Superstars always leaves room for entrants either returning to the WWE or showing up for one final shot at gaining WWE glory and main eventing WrestleMania. The 2014 Royal Rumble has offered very few hints as to what possible Superstars from wrestling past could show up, but the possibility of inactive WWE Superstars returning at the event is higher than usual. Here are four WWE Superstars in Mattel WWE form ready to make a big splash and come back.

Mattel WWE Elite 25 Sheamus!

WWE Superstar Sheamus has been inactive since the fall, out with an injury and missing out on the entire authority resistance, WWE World Heavyweight Championship unification and more changes to the landscape of the WWE Universe. Sheamus’ red hair is on fire in this Mattel WWE Elite 25 figure, complete with removable silver chain, Celtic Cross shirt, and silver knee pads, boots and trunks. Sheamus could easily show up at the 2014 Royal Rumble and go on to main event WrestleMania. He is the most likely candidate as he has been absent for the longest amount of time.

Mattel WWE Series 38 Chris Jericho!

Chris Jericho has been absent for a long time, but his presence is still felt and he is constantly asked in his life on the road with his band Fozzy about a potential WWE return. Since he surprised everyone at the 2013 Royal Rumble (which this Mattel WWE Series 38 figure is based on the time directly after), it would come as another shock to the WWE Universe for him to do the same thing two years in a row. He is another candidate to face the WWE World Heavyweight Champion due to his experience both at WrestleMania, and making Royal Rumble returns.

Mattel WWE Series 36 Christian!

Captain Charisma has been plagued with bad luck and injuries since finally becoming a World Champion in 2011. His latest injury was a recurrent concussion, causing all sorts of terrible symptoms and worrying the WWE doctors as to his safety. He showed up in the WWE at the Slammy Awards, letting the WWE Universe know he had new inspiration as a proud father. He could easily take the inspiration to survive in the Royal Rumble and go on to by the WWE World Heavyweight Champion and cementing his place in WWE history forever. His latest Mattel WWE Series 36 figure includes green tights and has a determined, angry headsculpt reminiscent of his World Heavyweight Championship run.

Rob Van Dam has been the life of the WWE party since returning at the 2013 Money In The Bank. He has fought for World Champion gold and showed that he can be a contender. No stranger to surprise Royal Rumble entrances, The Whole F’n Show could make another ‘one of a kind’ appearance in the 2014 Royal Rumble. His Mattel WWE Elite 27 has yet to be revealed, but when it is, it will invoke as much as a surprise as a Royal Rumble 2014 return would.

Rob Van Dam Mattel WWE Figure Design Choices!

November 26th, 2013 by Ringside Figures

Mattel has confirmed the upcoming release of a Mattel WWE Rob Van Dam figure in both Elite and Basic! RVD has always sported colorful singlets and wrestling attire so it is everyone’s guess as to what he will wear, but here are a few looks that we hope are a possibility:

ECW Television Champion Rob Van Dam wore this amazing attire, one of many with an incredible dragon on the front. An ECW Television Championship accessory would top it off.

Mr. Money in the Bank and Intercontinental Rob Van Dam sported another ferocious dragon, this time in red with yin yang eyes. An RVD Money in the Bank briefcase and Intercontinental Championship would make for great accessories.

WWE Champion Rob Van Dam is wearing…you guessed it, a singlet with a Dragon, this time darker with more intense detail. A spinning WWE Championship accessory would top him off.

Rob Van Dam’s red return attire at Money in the Bank 2013 is a likely choice for either Elite or Basic and a strong possibility. An Elite figure may come with a tall ladder like he used in the event.

There are loads upon loads upon loads of choices for the first Mattel WWE Rob Van Dam figures! These are just a few, but whatever is selected there is no question Mattel will do a bang up job!
