It’s a holiday bonus for Mattel WWE wrestling figure fans! After the Mattel WWE Ultimate Edition reveals, Mattel decided to show off some new wrestling figures in the Retro and Elite lines. The revealed figures are:
Think you know who are the brightest WWE Superstars on the current roster? Think you know who will contend for WWE Championship gold and continue to fight harder than anyone else for their spot? Now the best of the best are available in a specialty Elite line with Mattel WWE Elite Top Talent 2018! Even more chances to get the absolute, top level WWE Superstars in your wrestling figure collection with unique looks and quality accessories! Read on to see who is included in the set this year…
The Mattel WWE Elite 29 lineup has been revealed, and it is filled with surprises that WWE wrestling figure fans were not quite expecting. With veterans and newcomers, the lineup is fresh and will include:
CM Punk has made his way into another Mattel WWE wrestling figure set, this time an Elite set, despite leaving WWE for good. Unsure of the possibly look at this point, wrestling figure fans can only speculate as to whether or not this will be a good send-off for the Best in the World.
Providing intellect to the masses in the form of teachings and musings, Damien Sandow brings his unique brand of intelligence to another Mattel WWE set. Fans may expect a Money in the Bank briefcase accessory or a possible removable t-shirt of Damien Sandow’s theory of evolution.
Luke Harper, the gigantic and dirty-shirted behemoth of the Wyatt Family, sports a beard before sporting beards were a thing in the WWE and wears flexible blue jeans. He is ready to attack and with Elite articulation, he will be even more ready to dish out the Wyatt’s brand of punishment.
Erick Rowan is also featured in Elite 29, complete with his bright red hair and hopefully a removable sheep mask accessory, which would delight fans of both WWE figures and the Wyatt Family. He currently wrestles with a jumpsuit attire, so it remains to be seen how Mattel will produce him, either similar to The Shield with molded gear or with a cloth set.
Goldust’s inclusion surprised and excited many Mattel WWE wrestling figure fans as he hasn’t enjoyed an Elite figure since Elite 6. The question remains, however, of whether or not this treatment will be a modern day or classic look at Goldust, who has sported so many elaborate and different designs over the years. Fans will nonetheless be happy to get ‘Goldie’ back amongst their collection.
Andre The Giant, while featured in a short lived Matty Collector internet exclusive Mattel WWE Legends run, remains one of the most sought after and legendary WWE Superstars of all time. With his massive size and actually incredible wrestling ability, fans will continue to speak of him in ways that haven’t been matched. Sporting different hairstyles and different wrestling attires over his career, it remains a mystery as to what this Andre the Giant will look like, but it will be hard for Mattel to move away from his iconic WrestleMania III look.

The WWE Royal Rumble is always a massive event and the inclusion of 30 WWE Superstars always leaves room for entrants either returning to the WWE or showing up for one final shot at gaining WWE glory and main eventing WrestleMania. The 2014 Royal Rumble has offered very few hints as to what possible Superstars from wrestling past could show up, but the possibility of inactive WWE Superstars returning at the event is higher than usual. Here are four WWE Superstars in Mattel WWE form ready to make a big splash and come back.
Mattel WWE Elite 25 Sheamus!
WWE Superstar Sheamus has been inactive since the fall, out with an injury and missing out on the entire authority resistance, WWE World Heavyweight Championship unification and more changes to the landscape of the WWE Universe. Sheamus’ red hair is on fire in this Mattel WWE Elite 25 figure, complete with removable silver chain, Celtic Cross shirt, and silver knee pads, boots and trunks. Sheamus could easily show up at the 2014 Royal Rumble and go on to main event WrestleMania. He is the most likely candidate as he has been absent for the longest amount of time.
Mattel WWE Series 38 Chris Jericho!
Chris Jericho has been absent for a long time, but his presence is still felt and he is constantly asked in his life on the road with his band Fozzy about a potential WWE return. Since he surprised everyone at the 2013 Royal Rumble (which this Mattel WWE Series 38 figure is based on the time directly after), it would come as another shock to the WWE Universe for him to do the same thing two years in a row. He is another candidate to face the WWE World Heavyweight Champion due to his experience both at WrestleMania, and making Royal Rumble returns.
Mattel WWE Series 36 Christian!
Captain Charisma has been plagued with bad luck and injuries since finally becoming a World Champion in 2011. His latest injury was a recurrent concussion, causing all sorts of terrible symptoms and worrying the WWE doctors as to his safety. He showed up in the WWE at the Slammy Awards, letting the WWE Universe know he had new inspiration as a proud father. He could easily take the inspiration to survive in the Royal Rumble and go on to by the WWE World Heavyweight Champion and cementing his place in WWE history forever. His latest Mattel WWE Series 36 figure includes green tights and has a determined, angry headsculpt reminiscent of his World Heavyweight Championship run.
