Will Brock Lesnar Snuff Out The Undertaker’s Dark Fire?

So few expected and even fewer are not at all shocked by The Undertaker’s defeat by Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 30. With a legendary WrestleMania win-streak on the line, Brock Lesnar managed to make quick work of The Undertaker, man-handling him and ending the undefeated streak, giving The Phenom a 21-1 record. Since, Brock has been recognized as both WWE World Heavyweight Champion and Paul Heyman has done his best to make sure fans remember exactly who changed the face of professional wrestling forever. The Mattel WWE figures released of both heavyweight Superstars have reflected their aggression, and perhaps, aging, for better or worse. Fans will find out at SummerSlam 2015 whether or not Undertaker will be defeated for good, but they can try to predict the action themselves with Mattel WWE wrestling action figures.

The Dominant Brock Lesnar Cannot Be Defeated

Brock Lesnar has had what is arguably the most successful year in the history of professional wrestling. At WrestleMania XXX, he shocked the entire world and stopped The Undertaker dead in his tracks, destroying his streak and killing his WrestleMania momentum much to the chagrin of the WWE Universe. His Mattel WWE Elite 30 figure captures the version of Brock who took down the legendary streak perfectly.

The Mattel WWE Elite 30 Brock Lesnar!

This modern day, destructive Brock does not fear anyone in the WWE locker room and more importantly, does not fear a single thing on Earth. After making work of The Undertaker, he disappeared into the woods and reappeared to capture the WWE World Heavyweight Championship from John Cena. The WWE Universe was shocked once again as The Beast manhandled Cena, making him look like he  would never return from the loss. The Authority presented Brock with a new WWE World Heavyweight Championship and declared a new era had begun.

Part of Brock Lesnar’s success can most certainly be attributed to Paul Heyman, his right hand man and manager who has stood by his side every step of his dominant journey. Negotiating with anyone and everyone but making sure they know the power they are dealing with, Heyman takes no nonsense from anyone, including Triple H and Stephanie McMahon. Brock Lesnar’s partnership with Heyman and dominance have been a mainstay since his WWE debut over a decade ago, when Heyman saw the very future that they are now living out on the way.

Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman have always made a great team.

The Undisputed WWE Champion Brock Lesnar was young, dominant and not afraid to take on the likes of Hulk Hogan, Triple H or anyone who stood in his way. He was truly bringing the pain, and the Mattel WWE Brock Lesnar Here Comes the Pain Ringside Collectibles Exclusive is a perfect representation of this time. Brock was strong, undefeatable in most cases and ready for his future as a rock-solid athlete.

Here Comes the Pain Exclusive Brock Lesnar!

With no signs of stopping his monstrous career, it can be said that Brock Lesnar hit his stride when he was younger and has not stopped.

The Undertaker Returns for WrestleMania XXX…and Challenges Brock Lesnar!

Mattel WWE WrestleMania XXX Series Undertaker!

The Undertaker has finally arrived upon the landscape of the WWE Universe, just in time to remind Superstars and fans alike that he has a WrestleMania streak to maintain. With plans to continue his streak into WrestleMania XXX, the lights went down and the fans shook at WWE Monday Night RAW. The Undertaker stood in the WWE ring face to face with Brock Lesnar, the self-proclaimed ‘Baddest Man on the Planet,’ and only had to make a singular gesture to make his goals known. With the turn of his head towards the WrestleMania XXX sign, both the Undertaker and Brock Lesnar knew that they were destined to face off on the grandest stage of them all. For Mattel WWE wrestling figure fans, the possibilities in play are extremely fruitful with many excellent choices to choose from when booking their own Brock Lesnar vs. Undertaker match.

Mattel WWE Elite 27 Undertaker!

The Mattel WWE Elite 27 Undertaker is intimidating wrestling figure fans like never before with his Entrance Robe complete with current, modern look including spikes and hood. It also includes a head sculpt with Undertaker’s shaved, semi-mohawk haircut and icy blue eyes. With complete Elite articulation and the most up to date version of Undertaker a wrestling fan can find, anyone looking to continue Undertaker’s streak early would be hard pressed to find a better action figure of the Dead Man.

Mattel WWE Ringside Collectibles ‘Here Comes the Pain’ Brock Lesnar Exclusive!

An excellent choice for any wrestling figure fan looking for a more classic approach to defeating the Undertaker’s streak can find it with the Mattel WWE ‘Here Comes the Pain’ Brock Lesnar Exclusive. With Undisputed Championship, t-shirt and tattoos accurate to Brock’s peak time period, the current Undertaker may have even more trouble with a younger, more dangerous version of Brock Lesnar. A fantasy match-up of “old school’ Brock Lesnar and “legendary” Undertaker could prove to be the WrestleMania main event fans have been waiting for.

Mattel WWE WrestleMania XXX Series Brock Lesnar!

Speaking of Brock Lesnar, his intensity and drive to eliminate the Undertaker’s undefeated WrestleMania streak couldn’t be more apparent in his Mattel WWE WrestleMania XXX Series figure. With updated, accurate tattoos, MMA-style wrestling gear and a head scan roaring with power, Brock Lesnar at the very least, truly looks like the baddest man on the planet. Just in time for WrestleMania XXX, this basic style figure carries standard articulation and comes packaged in WrestleMania XXX style carding.

Mattel WWE WrestleMania XXX Series Undertaker!

Mattel WWE WrestleMania XXX Series Undertaker!

The Undertaker is not far behind Brock Lesnar in the Mattel WWE WrestleMania XXX Series set, complete with an updated look, accurate tattoos and a perfectly painted head sculpt. Looking to keep the streak alive, this figure trades in the gear and wild spikes for old fashioned brute Undertaker-style strength. Also packaged with WrestleMania XXX carding and ready to deliver a Tombstone Piledriver Brock Lesnar’s way, this is the most up to date, basic version of Undertaker a wrestling figure fan can get, especially with the WrestleMania XXX symbols.

Brock Lesnar is no easy foe to tackle, but Undertaker has kept his WrestleMania streak alive for so long it would be an unwise decision to bet against the power and raw mysticism of the Phenom.

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.

Mattel WWE Elite 27 includes:

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

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!

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!

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.

CM Punk’s Bad Luck – The Number One Entrant in the 2014 Royal Rumble!

CM Punk has had a string of misfortune since returning to the WWE after a loss to The Undertaker at last year’s WWE WrestleMania. He has had run ins with The Shield, The Wyatt Family, and even his boss, Triple H, all trying to suppress his free speaking mind and cause him great harm in the WWE. To add insult to months of injury, Kane, now corporate and no longer any fun, has decided CM Punk would be the perfect first entrant in the Royal Rumble 2014. Punk, weary and war torn, will have his work cut out for him if he wishes to main event WrestleMania.

 

Mattel WWE Battle Packs 25 CM Punk vs. Undertaker!

Mattel WWE Battle Packs 25 CM Punk vs. Undertaker!

CM Punk’s hard hearted, grouchy demeanor came to a head at WrestleMania 29 when he faced off with Undertaker. Claiming he could beat the streak, Punk faced off with The Dead Man and attempted to take away his WrestleMania glory. Immortalized in Mattel WWE Battle Packs 25, CM Punk has black boots, knee pads, trunks with white stars, and a dark and angry, clenched teeth mouth, reminiscent of a Ninja Turtle. The Battle Pack also included an Undertaker figure and an urn accessory, based on the urn CM Punk took from Undertaker that represented his late father, Paul Bearer.

Mattel WWE Slam City CM Punk & The Miz!

Mattel WWE Slam City CM Punk & The Miz!

CM Punk’s lighter side might be found in the new Mattel WWE Slam City figures. This two pack, including CM Punk, The Miz and a breakable table, has two Slam City style versions of Punk and Miz, both with stretchable, launchable arms. These new figures have fun, wild features to make play more heavily based around tossing your figures around. Perfect for CM Punk trying to cheer himself up after a loss to the Undertaker.

Mattel WWE Super Strikers CM Punk!

Mattel WWE Super Strikers CM Punk!

With new and improved features, the Mattel WWE Super Strikers feature signature moves related to their Superstars. This CM Punk figure has the perfected ability to administer a Go to Sleep, or GTS! Placing another figure on its shoulders, wrestling figure fans can administer some knees to faces and finish the match. Taking it a step further, this CM Punk figure brings entirely new meaning to the term ‘paper champion’ with the inclusion of a cardboard World Heavyweight Championship.

Mattel WWE Series 36 CM Punk!

Mattel WWE Series 36 CM Punk!

The latest Mattel WWE CM Punk, and hopefully his final grouchy and grumpy appearance in the line, finds the Straight Edge Superstar in Mattel WWE Series 36. With black boots, black knee pads and black trunks with orange stars and stripes, this CM Punk figure still has the angry face and still wants to end Undertaker’s streak. Mattel WWE wrestling figure fans can use this CM Punk to take the steps towards enlightenment, moving on to rage against the machine and the authority instead of worrying about supernatural beings he cannot defeat.

It isn’t impossible for CM Punk to last through the entire 2014 Royal Rumble and win to go on to WrestleMania and face the WWE World Heavyweight Champion in the main event, but his work is cut out for him!
