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.

Since debuting in the WWE, the Wyatt Family have shown their strength, power, and the tightness of their group. A family like no other, they made an initial impact by taking out WWE Superstars like Kane, Kofi Kingston and The Miz. They may have been bested by Daniel Bryan but to keep the statistics in their favor they have gone after arguably the greatest possible challenge the WWE has to offer. That challenge goes by the name of John Cena.
Mattel WWE Series 39 John Cena!
John Cena, here in Mattel WWE Series 39, has spent his time trying to have an effect on the travesty that is Randy Orton gaining the WWE World Heavyweight Championship through cheating, but recently the Wyatt Family have forced him to realign his sights and take them on because of numerous sneak attacks. Cena is unclear as to why Bray Wyatt has chosen him as a target and it has made his main objectives difficult. John Cena can no longer look at Bray Wyatt as simply a nuisance and must treat him with the respect of a face to face challenger.
Mattel WWE Battle Packs 28 Luke Harper and Erick Rowan!
Helping Bray Wyatt act out his sneaky ways are the other members of the Wyatt Family, Luke Harper and Erick Rowan. Luke Harper and Erick Rowan will receive their first Mattel WWE wrestling figures in Mattel WWE Battle Packs 28. They are a fixture in the tag team division, have shown that they can suffer defeat and bounce back infinitely stronger and best of all for Bray Wyatt, both men will do his bidding at the drop of a hat. Harper and Rowan are invaluable parts of Bray Wyatt’s strategy and are no doubt highly sought after for Mattel WWE wrestling figure fans.
Mattel WWE Series 39 Bray Wyatt!
The Mattel WWE Series 39 Bray Wyatt action figure will be the first time the leader of the Wyatt family has seen himself in wrestling figure form. A miniature plastic idol is perfect for the leader of this cult-like family as they slowly but surely do their best to take over the WWE. Bray Wyatt’s headsculpt, accurate tattoos, white pants and black and white wrestling shows prove him to be the type of leader that is simple but effective in his actions all the way down to how he dresses. Wrestling figure fans will no doubt look to re-enact the Sister Abigail on unsuspecting opponents, knocking them out and planting a kiss of certain doom on their foreheads.
The Wyatt Family will finally be released as Mattel WWE figures, and most wrestling figure fans will no doubt have a John Cena figure available to fight off the oncoming attacks of the Mattel WWE wrestling figure world’s newest and most formidable foes, Bray Wyatt, Erick Rowan and Luke Harper.

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.’

The Mattel WWE Series 38 wrestling action figures are now available for PRE-ORDER at WrestlingFigures.com! While we can only speculate as to what they will look like right now, the set will include:
Sheamus
Vickie Guerrero
Chris Jericho
Kofi Kingston
The Miz
Dolph Ziggler
Sheamus has yet to return to the WWE, but speculation around Royal Rumble 2014 proves that anything is possible. Whether or not he will debut a new attire on television remains to be seen, but this release will most likely see standard Sheamus attire.
While taking a leave of absence from WWE, Chris Jericho works on other projects like a new podcast and his successful rock band, Fozzy. Fans were disappointed that Jericho’s new tattoo has not been featured on his wrestling action figures due to cross licensing issues. It is no telling, however, as to when or if Mattel works cross licensing issues out, so while there is usually no chance, Jerichoholics continue to speculate.
Dolph Ziggler has suffered from concussions recently and it has taken a toll on his career, bringing his leaps forward to a screeching halt. However, he remains a fan favorite and someone that die-hard wrestling enthusiasts wait to savor a big moment along with. This figure will most likely feature one of his colorful, elaborate, and very form fitting, wrestling trunk designs.
The Miz is a former World Champion and remains a mainstay on the WWE roster. Though he is not currently in title contention, he hopes to rekindle some contender fire at Royal Rumble 2014 and after changing facial hair styles, will probably have a newer look than his previous Mattel WWE basic series figures.
Kofi Kingston has sported long tights as of late when hopping into the squared circle and while it is too early to tell, it is entirely possible this Mattel WWE Series 38 Kofi Kingston figure will feature his new look and new attitude.
Vickie Guerrero has been sparsely seen since being drafted to Smackdown but she still makes an immediate presence felt when her trademark voice rings out in any arena around the world. Already having two Mattel WWE figures, the demand for an authority will keep Vickie Guerrero a hot commodity amongst wrestling figure collectors for years to come.
