Kevin Nash Makes Royal Rumble Return…Could He Return to Mattel WWE Figures?

February 12th, 2014 by Ringside Figures

Kevin Nash has now not once, not twice, but thrice managed to surprise the WWE Universe with his unexpected appearance. Once showing up as Diesel in the Royal Rumble, he shocked the world after an absence for years from WWE wrestling. His return no doubt initiated the release of the Mattel WWE Diesel wrestling figure available in Mattel WWE Elite 16:

Mattel WWE Elite 16 Diesel!

The popularity of the Diesel figure was unprecedented for a classic Mattel WWE appearance, including a WWE Championship, removable vest and spot on likeness of Diesel during his WWE peak. With full articulation and molded pants with tassels, wrestling figure fans had finally gotten the chance to grab Kevin Nash in a form they had been previously only been treated to a couple of times. The excitement was short lived, however, as the figure was packaged lightly with the availability of ‘The Outsiders’ Mattel WWE Elite 16 Kevin Nash wrestling figure:

Mattel WWE Elite 16 Kevin Nash!

The Mattel WWE Elite 16 Kevin Nash portrayed Big Sexy during his WCW peak, complete with bright red Outsiders outfit, black tassels and a spray painted WCW Championship! The figure also presented a completely separate head scan for Nash with long, blonde trademark locks. Wrestling figure fans made clear their desire for both versions but with their short packed release and difficult availability, only few fans were able to get ahold of the now sought after and difficult to find figure.

The idea still stands that Mattel WWE figure collectors still want more of Kevin Nash and aside from his many classic looks, his modern day appearances may prove more desirable. After showing up more times than most classic superstars during the recent WWE timeline, Kevin Nash’s modern day look is something wrestling figure fans would enjoy in Mattel WWE figure form. His return in 2011, from his canceled match with CM Punk to his Sledgehammer ladder match with Triple H at TLC 2011, would make for an excellent template for a modern day Kevin Nash figure. Most likely his attire would be based on that very slugfest with Triple H, where Nash sported long, black hair.

Modern day Mattel WWE Elite Kevin Nash from TLC 2011?

This Kevin Nash could sport an angry head sculpt, come with a ladder or sledge hammer accessory (or both!) and include Nash’s singlet and leather pants wrestling attire design from the actual event. It would have to represent his entire run after his Summerslam 2011 return, and would do so nicely as most of his other appearances came in plain clothes!

Mattel WWE Elite Royal Rumble 2014 Return Kevin Nash?

Kevin Nash returned at the 2014 Royal Rumble, surprising fans yet again and throwing around some WWE Superstars before suffering elimination. Noticeably more determined and agile, Nash was sporting a new short brown haircut with only one elbow pad, giving new possibilities and asking new questions as to whether or not he would return to the WWE to once again try to ‘stick the winner.’ Big Daddy Cool Kevin Nash remains a sought after Mattel WWE action figure, between those that have already been produced and those that may show up in the future.

OHHH YOU DIDN’T KNOW? Tag Team Champions The New Age Outlaws, Reuniting in Mattel WWE Form!

February 12th, 2014 by Ringside Figures

Just in time for Valentine’s Day as people across the world think of the greatest pairings ever, many WWE Universe members are struck by the partnership of the New Age Outlaws, Road Dogg Jesse James and ‘Bad Ass’ Billy Gunn. After re-capturing the WWE Tag Team Championships following a 15 year absence, the duo, who may or may not be at the beck and call of COO Triple H, are taking the locker room by storm. Aside from a brief appearance on RAW’s 20th Anniversary and a quick entry into the 2013 Royal Rumble by Road Dogg, the New Age Outlaws have been mostly inactive in the ring since disbanding so many years ago. However, they are proving consistently that they still have what it takes to roll with the young superstars they are defending their championships again. Now, they finally have Mattel WWE figures for fans to re-enact their favorite modern day New Age Outlaws moments.

Mattel WWE Elite 26 Road Dogg Jesse James!

The Road Dogg Jesse James blows the roof off of any arena he enters, beckoning the WWE Universe to the ‘Dogg House’ and rhyming his way through a self-introduction to one of the greatest Tag Teams in the history of wrestling. His Mattel WWE figure includes a hat, a D-Generate Road Dogg t-shirt and a classic style D-Generation X t-shirt. With a spot on likeness, pants that bear the D-Generation X style logos that only Road Dogg can pull off, this figure comes ring ready for both classic collections and modern day collections.

Mattel WWE Elite 27 Bad Ass Billy Gunn!Mattel WWE Elite 27 Bad Ass Billy Gunn!

Also entering the Mattel WWE world is the ‘Bad Ass’ Billy Gunn, also affectionately known as ‘Mr. Ass.’ WWE’s resident ass man gets his first figure treatment in over 7 years, throwing back to his original style during the ‘Attitude Era’ but presenting a modern sentiment with interchangable headbands and two separate D-Generation X t-shirts. His trunks bear plenty of lips symbols and his knee pads are marked with ‘BA,’ which can only stand for ‘Bad Ass!’ The green color and white boots are a style choice Billy Gunn has made famous, making mothers everywhere turn their heads as he pulled his shorts down just enough to be inappropriate when entering the ring. His figure will not have this feature, but he is still just as much of a degenerate.

Mattel WWE New Age Outlaws Package Deal!

The New Age Outlaws have finally been immortalized in Mattel WWE plastic, but at what cost? The once happy-go-lucky rebels still maintain their wild personalities but carry out the biddings of the controlling, condescending and downright oppressive COO, their fellow D-Generation X member, Triple H. Could their WWE Tag Team Championship opportunity (they did win fair and square, at least) have come from strings being pulled by their friend in the highest possible place? No one knows except the members of D-Generation X themselves, but seeing how quickly the New Age Outlaws can jump to the defense of their old friend smells a little fishy.

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

January 30th, 2014 by Ringside 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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

January 30th, 2014 by Ringside Figures

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!

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’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 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.

Sin Cara’s Identity Crisis!

January 30th, 2014 by Ringside Figures

Fans remember Sin Cara’s original identity crisis. His usually explosively high flying and fan-friendly personality was suddenly replaced with a mean, angry demeanor that shocked everyone, including his opponent at the time, Daniel Bryan. Having matches with Daniel Bryan led to vicious attacks for the bearded one at the hands of Sin Cara, who he had before considered a friend and ally. Mattel commemorated their feud in Mattel WWE Battle Packs 17 with a Daniel Bryan and Sin Cara 2-pack.

Mattel WWE Battle Packs 15 Sin Cara vs. Daniel Bryan!

Not only did this Battle Pack feature a folding chair, it included Sin Cara’s first ever Mattel WWE figure and an accurate Daniel Bryan figure to the time of the feud. Things were not all that they seemed, however, as Sin Cara returned to the WWE to confront…Sin Cara. It turned out that Hunico, at the time known as Sin Cara Negro, was imitating the masked warrior and causing trouble as he pretended to be the real Sin Cara. He was soon unmasked and has since adopted the Hunico look and style, as featured in this Mattel WWE Rumblers set with Rey Mysterio.

Mattel WWE Rumblers Hunico & Rey Mysterio!

Hunico is a no-nonsense, street style wrestling performer who may have been put in his place by the real Sin Cara, but has proven he maintains his sneaky demeanor and is ready to attack at any moment.

In the meantime, Sin Cara went from a cold streak, to a hot streak, and back to a cold streak again, all the while gaining a tattoo that fans speculate looks mysteriously like Hunico’s. Hard to prove as no one knows exactly what Sin Cara looks like, but many wonder if Hunico has chosen to take up Sin Cara’s garb again. The question becomes, why has Hunico done this, and what has happened to the real Sin Cara, featured here in Mattel WWE Elite 25 with his latest (and possibly last) Elite figure?

Mattel WWE Elite 25 Sin Cara!

With a watermelon-like, green zebra style print on his outfit, this Sin Cara may be the final incarnation of the ‘good’ Sin Cara the WWE Universe had gotten to know so well. A mystery that WWE refuses to comment on, as they have made no official statement as to the whereabouts, or even possibility of disappearance of any Sin Cara at all. In the meantime, fans have not seen Hunico appear and have only seen a Sin Cara that appears to have a tattoo extremely similar to that of Hunico’s tattoo. A possible coincidence or even a third person wearing the Sin Cara mask would surprise no member of the WWE Universe at this point. For now, Sin Cara figures continue to be released as normal (and without any additional tattoos) like the new 12-inch line in white.

Mattel WWE 12-Inch Sin Cara!

Sin Cara’s 12-inch articulation and high flying ability may soon be a thing of the past, but for now fans continue to speculate about who the man behind the mask actually is.

Ringside Collectibles Offering Loose Championship Belts!

January 30th, 2014 by Ringside Figures

Until now, Mattel WWE Championships, also known as wrestling figure belts, have only widely been available when included with other Mattel WWE figures. For fans who need wrestling figure belts for their collection but don’t want to spring for an exclusive figure or are not a fan of who they might be included with, Ringside Collectibles is offering some loose wrestling figure belts for what is most likely only a limited time. Championship belts are an important part of playing with wrestling figures and there are currently four available on their own.

Mattel WWE Winged Eagle Championship!

Fans of the classic late 80’s to mid-90’s era of wrestling will instantly recognize the Winged Eagle WWE Championship, here as a Mattel WWE accessory. With detailed gold plates, a prestigious eagle and declaration of championship on the front faceplate, it’s a championship visibly held by the likes of Hulk Hogan, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels and more. Any fan of classic wrestling and classic wrestling figures will be looking for this as part of their collection.

Mattel WWE Smoking Skull Championship!

Throughout wrestling history, few Superstars have been given custom versions of their World Championship, and one of the best examples is the Smoking Skull WWE Championship, made especially for Stone Cold Steve Austin. With a skull in the front of the title and smoking coming from its eyes, many fans of the Attitude Era remember this championship fondly and how Stone Cold would whip and toss it around on his way to the ring. Stone Cold Steve Austin fans can easily add this to their Stone Cold wrestling figure collection.

Mattel WWE Attitude Championship!

The Attitude Era brought about a re-design of the WWE Championship that many fans still miss and fondly remember to this day, including former WWE Champion Chris Jericho. With a perfectly round faceplate and a blue globe in the center, it embodied what it meant to truly be the world champion. It’s a must have for fans of the era where the belt was a centerpiece, and the perfect wrestling figure belt to add to your classic wrestling figures.

Jakks TNA World Heavyweight Championship!

For fans of wrestling in general, TNA may not be the top company but they hold their own and do have a prestigious World Heavyweight Championship. That title is replicated by Jakks with this die-cast, leather strapped version that even includes velcro for a perfect fit. For wrestling figure fans looking to expand their roster or even creating separate brands, the TNA World Heavyweight Championship is a perfect place to begin. Creating multiple brands with multiple champions make ‘invading’ your other wrestling figures federations endless and offer ripe possibilities for plenty of fun.

Mattel WWE Elite 27 Prototype Images Revealed!

January 30th, 2014 by Ringside Figures

After months of speculation on their overall appearance, the Mattel WWE Elite 27 figures have finally been revealed! Ringside Collectibles has the images and they are wildly colorful!

Mattel WWE Elite 27 includes:

Rikishi
Undertaker
Rob Van Dam
Fandango
Kofi Kingston
Billy Gunn

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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.

A Man Called Sting…A Mattel WWE Wrestling Figure?!

January 26th, 2014 by Ringside Figures

Around the time of the Road to WrestleMania each year, fans worldwide begin to speculate on the possible appearance of Sting in the WWE. With the expiration of his TNA contract always imminent, the discussion turns to whether or not Sting will work for Vince McMahon and step foot into a WWE ring. Fans especially hope for a fantasy match up of Sting taking on The Undertaker, two figures surrounded by shrouds of mysticism and magic, and two legends in the wrestling business in WCW and WWE respectively.

It would be no surprise that if Sting were to finally step into a WWE ring, wrestling action figure fans would go wild as he would finally receive a Mattel WWE figure. What that Mattel WWE figure could feature gives plenty of options and looks from Sting, who has colorfully maintained a wild appearance his entire career.

Mattel WWE WCW Surfer Sting!

Sting’s early days in WCW saw him sport elaborate jackets, a short, blonde, tight haircut and colorful tights with scorpion designs included on the side. With all different colors including an American style, and the above included orange and blue scheme amongst many, many others, the ‘surfer’ version of Sting and the slow transition into the modern day, darker Sting leaves endless possibilities for a Mattel WWE figure.

Mattel WWE WCW Black and White Sting!

The heroic Sting who hated the nWo and won the WCW World Heavyweight Championship many times dropped from the rafters with amazing black and white face paint and an awesome leather jacket. He was cool, had plenty of different face paint designs and different scorpion shirts and tights, to the possibilities again have few limits. The figure could also come with a baseball bat accessory, a trademark of Sting when facing off with WCW baddies.

Mattel WWE nWo Wolfpac Sting!

To really stick it to nWo black and white (or ‘Hollywood’ as they were sometimes called) Sting joined the nWo Wolfpac, the red and black spin-off gang that were tired of the nWo’s control of WCW and tricks, games and gang-like mentality. Sting maintained his heroic demeanor throughout his time with the group and sported red and black facepaint and red and black tights. This look provided an alternative to his black and white and further cemented Sting as a unique and unmatchable WCW Superstar. He could also include a bat or even a leather jacket styled to the time he was in the Wolfpac.

Mattel WWE Modern Day Sting!

If the stars were to align and by some grace of the universe Sting and the WWE could work out a deal for the legendary Superstar to step into a WWE ring, Sting’s WWE debut could see an entirely new look or something similar to how he has looked for the past decade in TNA. With looks inspired by his WCW days and sometimes with a modern spin (Sting could portray his Joker-inspired persona in WWE) Sting has worn a purple jacket, black tights with all sorts of colors and maintained some perfectly painted designs since wrestling for TNA. His entrance into WWE would certainly bring a new level of possibilities and a Mattel WWE figure could be inspired by his actual WWE debut after WCW’s demise over 12 years ago. Sting coming to WWE would put fans, and especially wrestling figure fans, into an uproar.

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

January 26th, 2014 by Ringside Figures

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

Batista Returns To Enter The 2014 Royal Rumble!

January 26th, 2014 by Ringside Figures

Dave Batista showed up on WWE Monday Night RAW, returning to the WWE and ready to challenge for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. The Animal was ring ready, putting his attacking skills to work on Alberto Del Rio, delivering the first Batista-Bomb in a WWE ring in nearly 4 years! He also confronted Randy Orton and told him his sights were set on the Viper directly.

: Batista Returns to the WWE in 2014 on RAW!

After making his grand return, the WWE Universe went wild and with no surprise, Batista’s current Mattel WWE offerings became even more popular.

: Batista is in Mattel WWE Series 37!

First up, a classic style Batista in Mattel WWE Series 37. This figure lacks his current tattoos, making him more accurate to the WrestleMania timeframe he is portraying. With an itty bitty chin hair for intimidation factor and strapped boots, this is the best old school offering for the Animal.

: Batista from the Mattel WWE WrestleMania XXX Battle Packs!

Included in a Mattel WWE Battle Pack celebrating WrestleMania XXX, this Batista figure is a modern day version of The Animal. It has silver and black boots and all of his current, updated tattoos based on the last time he was scanned by Mattel. His beard is a bit different than how he appeared on RAW, but it’s very close to how he looked before returning. The Battle Pack also included The Beast Brock Lesnar, pitting The Animal and The Beast against each other for the first time.

Batista is the easy favorite to win the 2014 Royal Rumble, but he has his work cut out for him as 29 other entrants will no doubt want to main event WrestleMania as well. Good luck, Animal! Walk alone…like you always have.
