If you’re following the excitement and action that is the WWE, you know that professional wrestling is in competition with itself! The RAW brand and the SmackDown brand face off on a weekly basis, neck and neck in the ratings and viewership of the WWE Universe. With so many fans remaining loyal to their favorite WWE Superstars, it’s no surprise that many wrestling action figure collectors collect the best wrestling personalities from each show. With the latest WWE Authentic Scale Ring available being based off the modern day WWE RAW ring and a SmackDown ring skirt available, fans can relive the action from BOTH shows and create their own rosters with their figures!
At the 2014 Spring Toy Fair, Ringside Collectibles, Inc. was able to meet with Wicked Cool Toys, a toy company founded by WWE wrestling figure legend Jeremy Padawer. Wicked Cool Toys is licensed to produce WWE product and had plenty of it on hand, ranging from accessories, ‘wicked cool’ toys and even a new wrestling ring that has been in the demand of wrestling action figure fans for years.
The WWE Authentic Scale Ring Packaging by Wicked Cool Toys!
Wicked Cool Toys WWE Authentic Scale Ring!
Wicked Cool Toys took advantage of the lack of a Mattel WWE ‘elite scale’ ring and has produced the WWE Authentic Scale Ring, complete with over 30 buildable parts. This huge 22×22″ scale ring is just what wrestling figure fans have wanted, with authentic ring parts, an authentic RAW ring skirt (and an authentic Smackdown ring skirt for those purchased from Ringside Collectibles) and a size massive enough to hold over 50 wrestling figures. Toy Fair 2014 presented fans with a look at the ring for the first time.
WWE Thumbpers by Wicked Cool Toys on Display!
Also on display were the popular WWE Thumbpers, comprised of everyone’s favorite WWE Superstars and ready for thumb wrestling action. With new packaging, the line is a favorite of fans looking to get some small, quick hands on battles going.
WWE Superstar Bobble Heads by Wicked Cool Toys!
Bringing back an old WWE accessory staple, the WWE Superstar Bobble Heads, miniature in size and huge in stature and personality were also on display. With top tier WWE Superstars like Daniel Bryan and WWE Legends like the Legion of Doom, fans can really bring out the support of the ‘sports’ in ‘sports entertainment’ with these detailed collectibles.
WWE Accessories By Wicked Cool Toys!
WWE Superstar Keychains, including a WWE microphone key chain, also appeared at Toy Fair 2014. Fans can choose from their favorite WWE Superstars to protect one of their most valuable transportation assets…their keys! Also on display were WWE, WrestleMania, RAW and Smackdown Echo Microphones, perfect to extend the voice of any wannabe WWE Superstar.
WWE Superstar Banks by Wicked Cool Toys!
The WWE Superstar Banks on display were based on the upper torsos of the most popular WWE Superstars, with the likes of The Rock, John Cena, and even CM Punk getting the treatment. Encouraging young fans to save their money, these banks are perfect for brawling and loose change.
WWE Thumbpers Ring Playsets by Wicked Cool Toys!
Also on display in the WWE Thumbpers collection were these WrestleMania XXX and WWE RAW Thumbpers wrestling rings. Most WWE Thumbpers collectors have been stuck having their brawls in mid-air until now, when they can put their favorites (and their thumbs) between the ropes for a battle!
31″ John Cena Action Figure by Wicked Cool Toys!
The Wicked Cool Toys WWE 31″ action figure series will come to include the likes of The Rock and CM Punk, but John Cena is the first making the CeNation as happy as can be.
Also on hand was Wicked Cool Toys Co-Founder Jeremy Padawer, who was gracious enough to catch up with Ringside Collectibles, Inc. in a video interview!

Since finding a new home in the WWE after years of absence, the New Age Outlaws have rekindled the fans love for their anti-authority antics and reinvigorated the true meaning of D-Generation X. However, they recently betrayed CM Punk and walked out on him in the middle of a tag team match with The Shield. While they claim they are not in cahoots with COO and fellow D-Generation X member Triple H, all arrows seem to point in that direction. In the meantime, modern day fans get to enjoy an Attitude Era staple that hasn’t changed much since it’s original run, the tag team of the New Age Outlaws. As the Outlaws continue to make their presence felt, their Mattel WWE figures add new depth to the rosters of wrestling figure collectors who love mixing the ‘old’ with the ‘new.’
Mattel WWE Elite 26 Road Dogg Jesse James!
Road Dogg Jesse James was released first in Mattel WWE Elite 26, complete with hat and two D-Generation X style shirts. His ‘shake, rattle and roll’ finish can be re-enacted and he can be posed like a true degenerate. Welcome to the Dogg house takes on entirely new meaning with such a detailed figure.
Road Dogg’s partner in crime, the ‘Bad Ass’ Billy Gunn has yet to be put on display by Mattel. Speculation runs rampant as to which outfit would best suit Mr. Ass, but the possibilities are endless. The most likely choices are either green with lips featured or pink with lips featured on the ‘rear’ and front. Billy Gunn looks almost exactly the same as he did during the Attitude Era, so fitting him in with the rest of your Mattel WWE figures should be no problem.
It is unknown whether or not DX has a corporate agenda, but after their actions against CM Punk on RAW it can only be assumed that even D-Generation X will do what’s ‘best for business.’
