Butt-Kicking 101 With CM Punk!

December 17th, 2014 by Ringside Figures

CM Punk has shocked the world and WWE fans everywhere time and time again with his words. He shocked the world and WWE fans everywhere once again when he left the WWE after the 2014 Royal Rumble. And he shook the the WWE Universe and the Mixed Martial Arts fanbase as well as the entire sports world when he signed with the UFC! Sadly, this means it is extremely unlikely that we ever see CM Punk in a WWE ring again. This also means it’s extremely likely that we’ve seen our last CM Punk Mattel WWE wrestling action figure. Unless he is produced as a UFC action figure, your chances to get a CM Punk figure lie with these newly released Mattel WWE versions of the Straight Edge Superstar. With CM Punk’s popularity now only set to rise, these are going to become even more difficult to find as time goes on.

Complete with ECW microphone, ECW Championship and gear accurate to the time frame, this smiling CM Punk recalls ‘happier times’ with the WWE. It also shows a CM Punk that is ready to fight.

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

The Mattel WWE Battle Packs 25 featured the attempt of the Best in the World to break apart the WrestleMania streak of The Phenom himself, The Undertaker. While CM Punk was unsuccessful in his attempt, the WWE Universe saw a grouchy, angry CM Punk that was capable of making a cerebral impact on such a massive Superstar like the Undertaker. After stealing the show at WrestleMania 29, WWE fans knew that CM Punk would never be forgotten and they have the perfect Mattel WWE Battle Pack to commemorate that.

Mattel WWE SummerSlam 2014 Series CM Punk!

This often requested and demanded Mattel WWE figure had fans finally feeling satisfied with a ‘Bret Hart’ version of CM Punk in what will likely be a crown jewel of the ongoing SummerSlam Heritage Series.

Mattel WWE Elite 29 CM Punk!

He has been to hell and back and still sees a future for himself beating whoever stands in front of him. With a removable fabric hoodie and Elite articulation, this CM Punk offers a version that hits his final appearances in the WWE right on the head. The Mattel WWE Elite 29 CM Punk proves that during his time in WWE, CM Punk truly was a butt-kicker.

December 10th, 2014 by Ringside Figures

Mattel WWE Elite 34!

The Mattel WWE Elite Series 34 has finally been put up for PRE-ORDER on Ringside Collectibles! This set includes not only long awaited Legend debuts, but long awaited roster debuts. The set includes:

Hulk Hogan
Paige
Doink the Clown
John Cena
Bad News Barrett
Rusev

Hulk Hogan finally makes his non-Defining Moments, Mattel WWE Elite debut and it’s set to be ground breaking. This version of the Hulkster will carry a modern day look based on his return to the WWE in 2014. Fans have been looking to get their hands on as much Hulk Hogan as possible in relation to Mattel WWE figures, so Hulkamania is truly running wild for wrestling figure fans.

Paige’s wild ways are finally making their way to Mattel WWE figure form. Debuting as an Elite figure just further shows the popularity of Paige and her high demand. With her now classic purple ring attire and full articulation, fans can re-create all the strange behavior she does so well in their figure collections.

Doink the Clown has been a WWE staple since his debut in the ’90’s. More often spoken about and heard as the butt of a joke than seen, everyone will be laughing away when he debuts in Mattel WWE Elite 34. Wrestling figure fans can only hope that Dink is right behind, ready to be released.

The WWE Universe is still firmly planted behind John Cena, who leads the CeNation into battle week in and week out. It’s no surprise that he receives another Mattel WWE Elite figure, this time showing off a new set of colors with his now legendary ring attire. The CeNation is still as strong as can be.

We’re afraid we have some GOOD news for fans of Bad News Barrett…he will finally be getting a ‘Bad News’ Elite treatment in Mattel WWE Elite 34! Speculation has run rampant as to his accessories but fans are keeping their fingers crossed for a podium or at the very least, a gavel. Hopefully Wade Barrett returns to the ring before the debut of this figure.

Rusev has proven that he will crush anyone and everyone who stands in his way in the WWE. With Elite articulation, that only proves truer as he can power his way through your entire wrestling figures roster. The Russian hero answers only to Lana and Vladimir Putin, looking to make his mark as the most memorable Russian in WWE history.

Mattel WWE Elite 33 Has Two Words For Ya!

October 25th, 2014 by Ringside Figures

The Mattel WWE Elite 33 Series has rising Superstars, veterans and a few surprise legends that have already begun to have fans making a little noise!

Mattel WWE Elite 33 includes:

Batista (Bluetista)
Cesaro
X-Pac
Junkyard Dog
Seth Rollins
Roman Reigns

The long awaited release of the legendary Junkyard Dog surprised fans and collectors alike. With a spot on, canine likeness, Junkyard Dog looks as good as the days he brought some extra brutality to the wrestling world. Including a chain and star spangled tights, he’s not to be missed for old school WWE fans.

Cesaro has had a break out year, proving his giant status at WrestleMania XXX when winning the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal. The statue is included with the Mattel WWE Elite 33 Cesaro, breakable for those who like to rough house and able to stand upright for those who like to display their accolades.

Before his days of backstabbing and turning on his loyal friends, Seth Rollins was one of the most trusted members of The Shield. Earning the Tag Team Championship with his partner Roman Reigns, it seemed as though the power of the group would never stop, and that’s clear with his Mattel WWE Elite 33 figure.

Perhaps most scorned by the betrayal of Seth Rollins is Roman Reigns, who held the WWE Tag Team Championship with is partner in real life and in Mattel WWE Elite 33. With a removable vest, his powerful physique can be showcased and he can prepare for the intense delivery of one of his patented spears.

The Mattel WWE Elite 33 Batista has a special nickname bestowed on both the figure and its real life counterpart. ‘Bluetista’ makes his Mattel WWE debut, complete with cool-as-can-be vest, hat and sunglasses. Fans may not like Batista, but he simply doesn’t care what they think and that’s proven with the latest Bluetista figure.

One of the most crucial and controversial members of D-Generation X, X-Pac had a successful run as European Champion and Tag Team Champion when returning to the WWE at the height of the Attitude Era. The glue that kept Triple H and the New Age Outlaws together, he often faced off with opponents twice his size and used his athletic ability to triumph. Despite drawing ire from fans for turning on his best friend Kane, the WWE Universe has learned to look upon X-Pac fondly with time and are excited for his Mattel WWE Elite 33 release!

HULKAMANIA Finally Runs Wild With Mattel & WWE!

October 15th, 2014 by Ringside Figures

Hulkamania has finally arrived. Since Hulk Hogan’s return to the WWE family nearly a year ago, fans have been clamoring for Mattel WWE Hulk Hogan figures. We have been treated to looks at them, but they are finally beginning to roll out in different forms with spot on, accurate Mattel WWE figures. The first Mattel WWE Hulk Hogan figure shown at San Diego Comic-Con turned out to be part of the Defining Moments line.

With a classic style, bandana, old-school WWE Championship belt and a spot on version of the Hulkster, wrestling figure collectors freaked out when they finally got to see the finished product at Ringside Fest 2014.

Also on display at Ringside Fest 2014 was a Mattel WWE Hulk Hogan figure in basic style. For fans of the basic series of figures, they will be getting their version of Hogan just as Elite collectors will receive theirs.

Probably the most surprising version of Hulk Hogan was his Mattel WWE Signature Series figure. Complete with sunglasses, red Hulkamania shirt and a modern day look, fans couldn’t believe it when they saw a version of Hulk Hogan that reflected his current look. Anyone looking to make Hulk Hogan their wrestling figure General Manager can do so with delight.

Seth Rollins Does Whatever He Can To Rise

September 7th, 2014 by Ringside Figures

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.

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.

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.

The Mattel WWE ‘Rated R’ Edge Exclusive!

September 7th, 2014 by Ringside Figures

‘You think you know me’ blasts through arenas around the world and after an explosion of noise and gust of intensity, the Rated R Superstar Edge enters the arena! With a career sadly cut short due to the possibility of injury, Edge will always be remembered for his underhanded tactics, stop-at-nothing ability to get what he wanted and tactics that were generally considered too hot for TV. The Mattel WWE Ringside Collectibles Exclusive Rated-R Edge captures the Rated R Superstar at his pique, carrying his very own customized WWE Championship and ready to take on any challengers, no matter what it takes to defeat them.

With sunglasses, accurate Rated-R attire and a jacket that only he could wear to such a stylish degree, this Edge exclusive looks just like the real thing. Accessories, tattoos and spot on sculpts create a version of Edge like never before and one that fans can display, collect or add as an active member of the wrestling figure federations.

With a smirk and the thought process to use any means necessary to gain the WWE Championship, the obsessive Edge carried a craze and style that delivered plenty of intense matches and a spear finishing move that was unmatched. It was all for the glory of the WWE Championship, customized for the Rated-R Superstar in this Mattel WWE Edge Exclusive.

Edge may no longer be an active wrestler, but his legacy lives on. From intense, wide eyed promos to incredibly unmatched wrestling ability, he will forever be remembered as one of the most controversial WWE Superstars of all time.

The Dominant Brock Lesnar Cannot Be Defeated

September 7th, 2014 by Ringside Figures

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.

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.

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.

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.

Stardust & Goldust Descend Into Madness

September 7th, 2014 by Ringside Figures

It was a shock to everyone when the sad, depressed Cody Rhodes disappeared for good. It was an even bigger shock when he reemerged as Stardust, Goldust’s similarly bizarre, shining younger brother. It seemed Goldust’s strange ways had finally gotten the best of Cody and that after years of trying to break out on his own, he had finally found his place among the stars. The duo were friendly at first and fans were clamoring for more Goldust, more Stardust and a chance for the two to gain the Tag Team Championships. This, of course, would make the team an absolute must as Mattel WWE figures.

While Cody Rhodes and Goldust have appeared in Battle Packs together before, a Stardust Mattel WWE figure has yet to make his way into the cosmos. It would likely feature a smiling, bizarre version of Cody Rhodes with his entire body suit and his name printed on the back. It would fit perfectly with the already released Mattel WWE Elite 29 Goldust, one of the best ever made of the bizarre one:

With so much detail going into the paint and coloration for the real life Goldust and Stardust, it’s only certain that Mattel would try to capture that bizarre look in their figures perfectly as they have here. A Mattel WWE Stardust would have to have spot on facepaint, dark, red eyes and possibly even stars in both of his hands to make his trademark symbol.

Since delivering a brutal attack on The Usos, Stardust and Goldust have taken a turn for the more intense as they look to grab the WWE Tag Team Championships. Once friendly and parlaying for the fans, they are now aggressive and more than likely frightening the young audience members of the WWE Universe. Not since the Ministry of Darkness has a tag team struck such fear into the hearts of fans.

With Goldust’s veteran presence and Stardust’s youthful stride, the team are a force to be reckoned with and are hopefully here to stay in the WWE. It looks as though Cody Rhodes had to lose his mind to finally capture the hearts and imaginations of the fans, and so far they seem to be ok with it if the desire for a Mattel WWE Stardust figure is any indication!
