Mattel WWE Series 41 Now Available For Pre-Order!

May 16th, 2014 by Ringside Figures

The Mattel WWE Series 41 wrestling action figures!

The newly announced Mattel WWE Series 41 will feature some of the most powerful, intense and silly WWE Superstars that the WWE has to offer! The set is now up for pre-order and includes:

Santino Marella
Bray Wyatt
Daniel Bryan
Drew McIntyre
Antonio Cesaro
Fandango

Santino Marella receives his first Mattel WWE figure treatment since the pique of the “Cobra era” and he still carries the old, trusty snake around. This figure could possible feature that Cobra built in once again, but chances are we could be seeing a standard Santino this time around.

The whole world is in the hands of Bray Wyatt, who just recently enjoyed the release of his first ever Mattel WWE figure. This time around we can likely see a more colorful shirt or a different type of ring pants from the frightening Wyatt Family leader. Hopefully his Mattel WWE action figure won’t hypnotize the young owners who enjoy playing with it!

Antonio Cesaro has cemented his place as one of the strongest members of the WWE roster after winning the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal and swinging some of the biggest WWE Superstars like rag dolls. He has proven to be a literal super man, and will more than likely receive a new headsculpt treatment after his previous Mattel WWE Series figure left fans with a bit to be desired in that respect.

Fandango has danced his way into our hearts and souls providing arrogant comic relief amongst his wrestling talent. His latest Mattel WWE figure could feature a different style of facial hair and with so many colorful attire choices, it wouldn’t be surprising to see the most colorful Fandango yet, and that’s saying a lot.

Drew McIntyre has let his intensity hang loose to take a much more laid back approach to the WWE as a member of the 3 Man Band. 3MB finds McIntyre wearing leather pants, head bands and rocking out with the other members. This will be the first Drew McIntyre Mattel WWE wrestling figure in quite a while, so fans will more than likely be excited to expand their roster with him if they didn’t get the chance when he was a bit more…serious.

The leader of the Yes! Movement, Daniel Bryan has followed his dreams and made them all come true. He shows up in Mattel WWE Series 41 and will hopefully have a new headsculpt and an excited demeanor. His outfit will likely show off his style as WWE World Heavyweight Champion or even throw back to the challenges he faced while chasing that championship glory. Either way, the WWE Universe will be able to get behind their current leader.

Paige Takes the WWE and Our Hearts By Storm!

May 16th, 2014 by Ringside Figures

WWE Diva Paige, now the rightful owner of the WWE Diva’s Championship!

Since bursting on to the WWE NXT scene, many wrestling fans have been singing the praises of Paige, a wild, unpredictable and sometimes even a little out there WWE Diva. With a whooping howl and wrestling ability to boot, fans of the Diva during her NXT run anxiously awaited news of her being called up to the main WWE talent roster. Their wish was soon granted as Paige has recently jumped on to the WWE scene, attacked the Divas division and stood triumphant in a matter of weeks. A Mattel WWE Paige figure should in turn not be far behind.

WWE Diva Paige during her stay in NXT!

Paige’s wild outfits directly reflect her wild personality, like this one showing off a look she sported during her time in NXT. With different color schemes, textures and even a leather jacket, it will be exciting to see what approach Mattel decides to take for a Mattel WWE Paige figure. Despite Mattel claiming several times that they were choosing not to produce NXT figures, Paige could be the first possible test of that with her unique looks.

Paige triumped as WWE NXT Women’s Champion!

Paige is also the inaugural NXT Diva’s Champion, so the case could be made for a Mattel WWE Paige figure to come with the NXT Women’s Championship as an accessory. It would celebrate her time in the promotion, give an already classic look to a fresh Diva and make belt collectors happy.

Paige first captures the WWE Diva’s Championship!

Of course, the more likely attire choice would be the outfit that Paige debuted in, won the WWE Diva’s Championship from AJ Lee in and continues to wear during her successful reign. With a purple top and shorts and some wild looking crossovers and studs, Paige sets hearts on fire as she displays tenacity and aggression with her headlocks and noises.

Mattel has hopefully begun preliminary work on a Mattel WWE Paige figure and we could be seeing her sooner rather than later.

Evolution is a Mystery…Solved by Mattel WWE Figures!

April 29th, 2014 by Ringside Figures

Evolution Returns to the WWE in 2014

Evolution has officially reunited as an entire unit in the WWE with Ric Flair returning on the April 28th, 2014 WWE Monday Night RAW! Triple H, Randy Orton and Batista decided to reform the legendary group after WrestleMania XXX to deal with what they considered the unruly and wild group, The Shield. It remains to be seen as to whether or not Evolution will successfully stop The Shield in their tracks and if they do, whether or not they will remain a unit or disband. While the WWE Universe tries to unravel the mystery that is Evolution, they can re-create their sudden and surprising dominance through Mattel WWE figures easily with both current and upcoming Mattel WWE action figures!

Mattel WWE Elite 28 Triple H Wrestling Figure!

Triple H has been spearheading the 2014 Evolution reunion with his position as a member of the WWE’s authority. Serving as COO and now more often as an active wrestler, The Game has set aside his need to be the King of Kings and joined forces with Batista and Randy Orton to try and stop Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins. His Mattel WWE Elite 28 wrestling figure perfectly and accurately represents his modern day look as a performer and as the WWE’s harsh and intense authority figure.

Mattel WWE Series 37 Randy Orton!

Evolution’s youngest member and arguably its most successful over the past decade, Randy Orton comes off his WWE World Heavyweight Championship loss only to gain more momentum as his old group reunites. In Mattel WWE Series 37, wrestling figure fans get a WrestleMania-ready version of Randy Orton, representative of his dominant time leading up to WrestleMania 25.

Mattel WWE Elite Series 30 Revealed!

The recently announced Mattel WWE Elite Series 30 wrestling action figures features many Legends that have the WWE Universe excited, but it will also feature the first Elite version of Batista since WWE Elite Series 6. The figure will likely reflect Batista’s return to the WWE in 2014, including his Royal Rumble win and his disapproval of the WWE and its fans. If those very same fans who loath Batista are lucky, he may even have some indicator representing him as a member of Evolution in his latest Elite.

Ric Flair Rejoins Evolution in 2014! Just in Time for a Mattel WWE Figure!

Ric Flair made an appearance on WWE Monday Night Raw on April 28th, 2014 to give Evolution his well wishes, only to turn and shake hands with the Hounds of Justice, The Shield! Whether it’s a modern day version of the legendary Superstar or a classic version featuring one of his many intensely colored robes, the WWE Universe and Mattel WWE collectors alike have been clamoring for a Mattel WWE Ric Flair figure since the launch of the line! With another appearance on WWE television, they can only hope that an actual figure is now even closer to a reality.

The Thorn in the Side of Evolution – The Shield!

If any Mattel WWE figure collectors or fans in the WWE Universe are simply unimpressed by Evolution’s display of power, they can stand behind The Shield with many, many Mattel WWE wrestling figures! Including Mattel WWE Elite versions of Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns, fans can easily enter their wrestling figure matches from outside the arena with plenty of options.

Triple H has made Daniel Bryan’s life a living hell and does his best to serve as COO of the WWE while remaining in the spotlight. In his latest Mattel WWE Elite figure he proves he is the King of Kings, complete with crown, sledgehammer, golden helmet and brand new, short haired headscan. His trunks have also been updated to reflect his most recent in ring performances.

Mattel WWE Elite 28 John Cena Wrestling Figure!

A must for any John Cena fan, this is the latest and best version of the world’s favorite controversial face of the WWE.

Mattel WWE Elite 28 Bray Wyatt Wrestling Figure!

With a removable shirt and hat and a sadistic grin, Bray Wyatt beckons all Mattel WWE fans to ‘follow the buzzards’ and is represented with an incredible likeness and accurate tattoos.

His latest Mattel WWE Elite figure features a sign showing clear support from the WWE Universe and the new, updated WWE Championship. Oh, and don’t forget the bushy, wild, and well respected beard.

The Newest Mattel WWE Ringside Collectibles Exclusive is The Rock!

April 18th, 2014 by Ringside Figures

The latest Mattel WWE Ringside Collectibles Exclusive, ‘Brahma Bull’ The Rock!

He is the Great One! Now, for the millions and millions of The Rock’s fans, a version will be released representing the time frame of when he stepped out on his own and became one of the biggest superstars in the history of professional wrestling! The latest Mattel WWE Ringside Collectibles Exclusive is The Rock…The Brahma Bull!

Showcasing The Rock’s look from the Attitude Era, the figure is based on The Rock’s Summerslam 1998 Intercontinental Championship defense against Triple H. With trunks taken from around that time frame to best represent The Rock, the figure will embody the style and look that only Rocky could make possible.

The Rock vs. Triple H at Summerslam 1998!

The Rock faced off with Triple H in a grueling ladder match for the Intercontinental Championship. The Intercontinental Championship, shown in this promo image with a purple strap, will be included in the Mattel WWE Brahma Bull Rock Exclusive! Wrestling figure fans are now offered this style of the Intercontinental Championship with an Elite figure for only the second time, and the only time with the purple strap.

The yellow ladder from the match between The Rock and Triple H at Summerslam 1998!

A ladder match would be incomplete without a ladder, so fans of The Rock will also be lucky enough to receive an accessory of the very yellow ladder used in the Summerslam 1998 match! A unique look that has seldom been seen since, this version of a ladder will look as authentic as possible for wrestling figures!

The only released version of The Rock during his time in The Nation of Domination and one of the very few released versions of The Rock during the thick of the Attitude Era, the Mattel WWE Ringside Collectibles Brahma Bull Exclusive will remind fans what it means to know their roll and shut their mouth. With the opportunity to defend against D-Generation X and bring in a new, edgier and more intense era of wrestling, The Rock is a staple of WWE history and the Mattel WWE Brahma Bull Rock Exclusive proves it.

Can Cesaro & Jack Swagger Remain the Real Americans?

April 4th, 2014 by Ringside Figures

Leading up to the WrestleMania 30 Tag Team Championship match, Cesaro and Jack Swagger have had their share of differences. Jack Swagger, once a main event player and powerful rookie, has taken a back seat as of late to his unsolicited partner, Cesaro. Cesaro, after a successful run with the United States Championship, has taken to using the ‘Real Americans’ tag team to his advantage and showcasing a stronger, more efficient side, gaining himself a WWE World Heavyweight Championship match at Elimination Chamber and momentum going into WrestleMania 30. Since then, both men have been at odds with their manager, Jack Swagger’s uncle, Zeb Colter playing their praises against each other. No one is sure as to why Zeb Colter would cause distrust between his two protégés, but they have managed to remain a team leading up to the Tag Team Championship opportunity. Mattel WWE wrestling figure fans have perfect versions of all three members of the ‘Real Americans’ to re-create the mistrust…or to make it dive even quicker than before.

Mattel WWE Series 37 Zeb Colter!

Zeb Colter is the mouthpiece of the ‘Real Americans’ tag team. With his shaking fists and dislike for anything he considers ‘anti-American’ he has been a loud, obnoxious presence in the WWE since coming to the aid of his nephew Jack Swagger. Recruiting Cesaro as another person he considers a ‘true Patriot,’ Colter often favors Cesaro and his outstanding ability over that of his nephew. In Mattel WWE Series 37, his spot on likeness is featured and in great detail, obvious by the likes of his dastardly mustache, combat vest and tie. You can almost expect the wrestling figure to shout ‘We the People’ in the middle of the night.

Mattel WWE Elite 23 Cesaro!

Cesaro was already doing his best to let the WWE Universe know that he considered himself more of an appreciative American than many of those who call the United States their home. Waving a flag and carrying the United States Championship as seen here in Mattel WWE Elite 23, Cesaro has since joined up with Swagger and Colter and offered a new level to the patriotism they carry. With the devastating ‘Cesaro swing,’ amazing uppercuts and brute strength, he’s one of the fastest rising WWE Superstars and clearly brings about the jealous ire of his partner, Jack Swagger.

Mattel WWE Elite 26 Jack Swagger!

Since opting to take a more ‘middle American’ approach to his wrestling style and demeanor, Jack Swagger has become scruffier, grumpier and more aggressive. No longer the smiling golden boy, Swagger feels, at the behest of his Uncle Zeb, that he is representative of what a true American really is. The ‘All American American’ is in Mattel WWE Elite 26 with his new look, waving a ‘Don’t Tread on Me’ flag and a black and grey wrestling singlet. While he may be jealous of his uncle taking a liking to Cesaro, Jack Swagger has raw wrestling ability of his own that is not to be overlooked, especially when in contention for the WWE Tag Team Championships. The ‘Real Americans’ could walk out triumphant at WrestleMania 30 thanks to Jack Swagger.

Mattel WWE Elite 30 Lineup Revealed!

April 2nd, 2014 by Ringside Figures

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.

Daniel Bryan’s WrestleMania Journey Begins with Triple H!

March 31st, 2014 by Ringside Figures

Since losing the WWE World Heavyweight Championship ‘fair and square’ to Randy Orton at Summerslam 2013, Daniel Bryan has been dealing with the constant abuse of power by the COO of the WWE and the man quickly growing to become one of Daniel Bryan’s biggest nemesis’ ever, Triple H. The Game has used his ability to manipulate goings on to make Bryan’s life and pursuit of the title a living hell. The American Dragon has prevailed, however, earning himself the chance to main event WrestleMania 30 if he defeats the one thing standing in his way…The King of Kings. Triple H and Daniel Bryan are both slotted for release in Mattel WWE Elite Series 28, and since fans have yet to see images of these wrestling figures, they can easily speculate on what they could look like.

Mattel WWE Elite 28 Triple H…in a suit?

A Mattel WWE Triple H mail-away exclusive wrestling figure featured the former world champion wearing a grey suit from his more easy-going days as COO of the company. Since, he has opted for darker, harsher suits and cut his long, flowing locks. While Mattel has often stated they do not like to make suited figures, it is nearly impossible to deny that Triple H has appeared almost exclusively dressed up since Summerslam 2013 on WWE television. Anyone looking to re-enact Daniel Bryan’s struggles with the Cerebral Assassin would certainly need an updated, suited Triple H.

Mattel WWE Elite 28 Daniel Bryan…with The Beard Is Here shirt!

The savior of the WWE Universe and the YES! Movement leader, Daniel Bryan has made fans out of millions with his likeable personality, amazing wrestling ability and scruffy beard. His first reference to the ironclad facial hair style came in the form of a ‘The Beard is Here’ shirt in direct parody of John Cena’s ‘The Champ is Here’ shirt. Mattel may choose to commemorate this ever-popular look in Daniel Bryan’s style, despite it having evolved since.

Mattel WWE Elite 28 Triple H in wrestling attire!

Though he rarely appears in wrestling attire, Triple H manages to find his way into a competitive role every year at WrestleMania. He will do so again when he tries to stop Daniel Bryan dead in his tracks, and then head for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship himself. A short haired, Elite Triple H figure in wrestling attire has only been seen so far as an exclusive, and could easily make its way into the main line with the next Elite release of Triple H.

Mattel WWE Elite 28 Daniel Bryan…with Respect The Beard shirt!

Daniel Bryan’s ‘Respect the Beard’ shirt accompanies one of his many red, grey and black designed attires and could easily be expected as a choice for Mattel WWE Elite 28. While it is a bit pre-mature to assume the figure would be the ‘Yes! Movement’ version of Bryan, this version is indeed a bit newer and just vintage enough to be considered. With a new headsculpt that further accentuates the bearded modesty of the humble American Dragon, Daniel Bryan’s latest Mattel WWE Elite release could satisfy fans everywhere, especially if he makes it to the WrestleMania 30 main event.
