  • Goldust
  • Adam Rose
  • Summer Rae
  • Sami Zayn
  • Daniel Bryan
  • Seth Rollins

Yet to be revealed, Goldust is the veteran of the Mattel WWE Series 50, with almost 20 years since his original WWE debut. That being the case, speculation can run rampant as to whether or not this Goldust may be a classic version of the bizarre one, but many will just as happy with a modern version of the leader of #TeamGoldie.

The Rosebuds are ready to follow their leader! Adam Rose dances his way to the ring with the most carefree attitude in the history of the wrestling business! His Mattel WWE debut looks a little more ready for a fight than even the real Adam Rose, but still with plenty of style and ready for party time…all the time!

The Total Divas’ most valuable player if you’re deciding based on creating controversy, Summer Rae is a gorgeous beauty many fans of the show love to hate. Since her debut with Fandango, Mattel WWE figure collectors, particularly the ones who love to collect Divas, have been waiting for her figure to be released. They finally get their wish as she debuts with red ring gear, black boots and a huge smile.

Since Seth Rollins betrayal of The Shield, his new, X-Men inspired look has been highly anticipated for a release by many Mattel WWE wrestling figure fans. The modern style of Seth Rollins finally gets released with a painted belt and silver rims on his boots. Evil doesn’t begin to describe this once vigilant personality beloved by fans.

Former NXT champion Sami Zayn will go down in history as the first active member of the NXT locker room to receive a Mattel WWE wrestling figure! Fans of WWE’s sub-brand are thrilled to see the talented Zayn debut with a figure that’s anything but generic. His open mouth and excited demeanor reflects that of many fans who have been clamoring for any NXT figures at all.

A long, difficult road was made a bit more uncomfortable for Daniel Bryan at the 2015 Royal Rumble, but fans still love the leader of the Yes! Movement and will not rest until he regains the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. This is a perfect Daniel Bryan for anyone who is looking to reignite the fire of the beard. It also has another great ring gear design from the GOAT faced wonder that it’s difficult to dislike.

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.

Seth Rollins flaunts his Money in the Bank Briefcase!

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.

Seth Rollins looks to cash in his Money in the Bank Briefcase!

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.

Mattel WWE Elite 30 Lineup Revealed!

Mattel WWE Elite Series 30 Revealed!
Mattel WWE Elite Series 30 Revealed!

Mattel WWE Elite Series 30 Revealed!

The Mattel WWE Elite Series 30 lineup has finally been revealed, and fans are going wild with the announcement of a mix of modern day WWE Superstars and WWE Legends! WWE Elite 30 includes:

  • Ryback
  • Batista
  • Lex Luger
  • Hawk (Legion of Doom)
  • Animal (Legion of Doom)
  • Brock Lesnar

With Ryback’s newfound ability as a tag-team specialist working hard to own the scene with the likes of Curtis Axel, Ryback has finally found a place in the WWE where he is fully comfortable. A new Mattel WWE Ryback Elite will help ease the demand of this ever-popular WWE Superstar and offer another of his extremely detailed singlets in wrestling figure form.

Since returning to the WWE, Batista will receive his first Mattel WWE Elite figure in years. Hopefully representing his new, Hollywood-style attitude, this Elite will more than likely be packed with a few accessories, and if fans are lucky, a pair of skinny jeans with ripping ability.

Lex Luger was once an unstoppable WWE Superstar, chugging off on the ‘Lex Express’ and taking the WWE Universe by storm. His American-themed outfits and patriotism made him a fan favorite during his short WWE run and wrestling figure fans have been clamoring for a Lex Luger figure since the Mattel WWE Elite and Legends lines have existed.

The Road Warriors, also known as the Legion of Doom, consist of the unstoppable Hawk and Animal. Although they had debut figures in Mattel’s WWE Legends line, they finally make a return, hopefully in the red shoulder pads that fans have been dying for since their original release. If this isn’t the case, fans would certainly be happy with blue shoulder pads or even LOD 2000 attire.

Brock Lesnar looks to end the Undertaker’s streak at WrestleMania 30, but in the meantime his ring attire has changed very little since re-debuting in the WWE. With the possibility of a new headsculpt for an Elite Brock, this figure could give fans another modern day version of the Beast.

Is CM Punk Gone From WWE? What Does This Mean For His Mattel WWE Figures?

The week after Royal Rumble 2014, speculation has run rampant on Twitter, Facebook and amongst the WWE Universe and beyond as to whether or not CM Punk is still with the WWE. Rumor has it that CM Punk, unhappy with his Royal Rumble loss and stature in the company, decided to leave the WWE early with a contract expiring in July and his absence from Monday Night RAW has further fueled this speculation. No one, including CM Punk himself, has made an official statement on the matter but rumors of fights with Vince McMahon, tension with Triple H and more have made people immensely curious about what is going on with the wrestling superstar they consider The Best In The World. Wrestling figure fans have already begun to speculate as to what this means for Mattel WWE CM Punk action figures and their future releases. Could Mattel WWE CM Punk figures be a thing of the past? Here are a few of the best Mattel WWE CM Punk figures so far:

Mattel WWE Straight Edge Society CM Punk Exclusive!

Mattel WWE Straight Edge Society CM Punk Exclusive!

The Ringside Collectibles Exclusive Mattel WWE Straight Edge Society CM Punk featured camouflage Straight Edge Society garb for the Straight Edge Superstar. Complete with a removable mask and an extremely detailed bald headsculpt, this CM Punk was hugely sought after by Mattel WWE figure fans, sold quickly and remains a hot item to this day. Celebrating Punk’s time in the Straight Edge Society, it captured the essence of his purely evil turn and cult-like feuds with Rey Mysterio and Big Show.

Mattel WWE Elite 1 CM Punk!

Mattel WWE Elite 1 CM Punk!

The Mattel WWE Elite 1 CM Punk, his first released Mattel WWE Elite during the launch of the Mattel WWE line, featured CM Punk’s post-Money In the Bank win look, confidence and edge. The grey and yellow outfit featured in this figure, unlike so many other CM Punk outfits, has yet to be replicated and remains unique and unchanged. Also included, now a thing of the past in the Mattel WWE figure line, was a cotton-style cloth t-shirt.

Mattel WWE Elite 11 CM Punk!

Mattel WWE Elite 11 CM Punk!

After a forceful takeover of The Nexus from Wade Barrett, CM Punk put his leadership skills to good use and ran the group into the ground while using it as a springboard for his own success. Fans are often reminded of CM Punk’s time in the Royal Rumble surrounded by Nexus members and his infamous “Pipe Bomb” speech that took place during his time as Nexus leader. The Mattel WWE Elite 11 figure captured both his time in the group and his transition to mega superstar, complete with Nexus armband and Nesus t-shirt, both removable so wrestling figure fans could easily have their CM Punk abandon the group if he needed to.

Mattel WWE Elite 20 CM Punk!

Mattel WWE Elite 20 CM Punk!

The Mattel WWE Elite 20 CM Punk was monumental for Mattel WWE wrestling figure fans as it included a new, slick-haired headsculpt and accurate, colorful tattoos that were finally realized as intended. This figure also included the Mattel WWE Spinner championship, commemorating CM Punk’s monumental WWE Championship reign that lasted over a year and ended at the hands of The Rock.

Mattel WWE Battle Packs 25 CM Punk vs. The Undertaker!

Mattel WWE Battle Packs 25 CM Punk vs. The Undertaker!

What could possibly be CM Punk’s last great feud in the WWE, he faced off with Undertaker at WrestleMania 29, angrily trying to end what he considered to be a self indulgent and silly WrestleMania streak carried by the Undertaker. Going so far as to make jokes with the urn of the Undertaker’s late father Paul Bearer, CM Punk reached into the mind of Undertaker to pull out a loss. He didn’t find it, but his memorable elbow drop on to Undertaker and his ongoing grouchy demeanor made the face off extremely memorable.

Mattel WWE Ringside Collectibles ECW CM Punk Exclusive!

Mattel WWE Ringside Collectibles ECW CM Punk Exclusive!

The latest planned Mattel WWE ECW CM Punk Ringside Collectibles Exclusive figure was revealed by Mattel and Ringside Collectibles at Ringside Fest 2013. A happier, smiling CM Punk included red trunks and boots, a microphone, heart t-shirt and ECW Championship from a time when the new Superstar was doing his best to make a name for himself in the WWE. Many die-hard wrestling fans had already taken to CM Punk, but he slowly but surely made his way atop the WWE ladder, and it began while in ECW. The fate of this Mattel WWE Ringside Collectibles Exclusive ECW CM Punk figure is currently unknown, but upon its release, it will be a fitting tribute as the start of a career in the WWE that many have not wanted to see end.

Christian to Return to WWE Smackdown!

WWE Superstar Christian has been plagued with injuries since his World Heavyweight Championship and Intercontinental Championship runs in the WWE, injuring his shoulder and most recently receiving a concussion at the hands of Randy Orton and a vicious attack by The Shield. Since being absent, however, he has welcomed the birth of a child and taken newfound inspiration from this into his quest for one more match. Time will tell as to what kind of impact his return to the WWE roster will make, but the WWE Universe is eager to find out as he makes his way to Smackdown, some arguably even more eager than they were awaiting the return of Batista.

Mattel WWE Series 36 Christian!

Mattel WWE Series 36 Christian!

The most recent and insanely accurate Christian featured in Mattel WWE Series 36 has a spot on headsculpt, scruff and blonde hair just like the real Captain Charisma. With green and black ring pants, his outfit pops with color and he’s the perfect basic Mattel WWE figure for those looking to add the Captain to their collection who already haven’t. This will be the figure wrestling figure fans worldwide use to re-enact Christian’s return.

Mattel WWE Rumblers Christian and Sheamus!

Mattel WWE Rumblers Christian and Sheamus!

Mattel’s now defunct WWE Rumblers set included miniature versions of favorite WWE Superstars and Legends, and Christian is lucky enough to count on both sides of that description. Here, he is featured in modern day attire with Sheamus, teaching the red-headed Irish beast a lesson in respect and learning to earn your place in the WWE and working hard for it. If fans remember his feud with Sheamus, Christian did this by complaining and sneaking his way around defeats to the big brawler. Fans can fondly remember the comedy of Christian’s antics that were a thorn in the side of Sheamus with this Rumblers set.

Mattel WWE Elite 20 Christian!

Mattel WWE Elite 20 Christian!

Mattel WWE Elite 20 saw one of the first Attitude Era flashbacks with this old school style Christian, complete with mesh shirt, yellow ring pants and black boots. This Christian also included sunglasses (a solid yellow and clear yellow variant) that both Edge and Christian made famous during the Attitude Era. Christian is a pioneer of the Tables, Ladders and Chairs match that is  now a staple of WWE programming and along with his tag team partner Edge, redefined the ladder match and brought the prestige of the WWE Tag Team Championships to a new level. This figure represents his pique as a 9 time tag team champion and captures one of the true innovators of the duck face. With Christian’s return imminent, his quest for one more match will more than likely be captured. Now all he has to do is capture the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
