The Undertaker Returns for WrestleMania XXX…and Challenges Brock Lesnar!

Mattel WWE WrestleMania XXX Series Undertaker!

The Undertaker has finally arrived upon the landscape of the WWE Universe, just in time to remind Superstars and fans alike that he has a WrestleMania streak to maintain. With plans to continue his streak into WrestleMania XXX, the lights went down and the fans shook at WWE Monday Night RAW. The Undertaker stood in the WWE ring face to face with Brock Lesnar, the self-proclaimed ‘Baddest Man on the Planet,’ and only had to make a singular gesture to make his goals known. With the turn of his head towards the WrestleMania XXX sign, both the Undertaker and Brock Lesnar knew that they were destined to face off on the grandest stage of them all. For Mattel WWE wrestling figure fans, the possibilities in play are extremely fruitful with many excellent choices to choose from when booking their own Brock Lesnar vs. Undertaker match.

The Mattel WWE Elite 27 Undertaker is intimidating wrestling figure fans like never before with his Entrance Robe complete with current, modern look including spikes and hood. It also includes a head sculpt with Undertaker’s shaved, semi-mohawk haircut and icy blue eyes. With complete Elite articulation and the most up to date version of Undertaker a wrestling fan can find, anyone looking to continue Undertaker’s streak early would be hard pressed to find a better action figure of the Dead Man.

An excellent choice for any wrestling figure fan looking for a more classic approach to defeating the Undertaker’s streak can find it with the Mattel WWE ‘Here Comes the Pain’ Brock Lesnar Exclusive. With Undisputed Championship, t-shirt and tattoos accurate to Brock’s peak time period, the current Undertaker may have even more trouble with a younger, more dangerous version of Brock Lesnar. A fantasy match-up of “old school’ Brock Lesnar and “legendary” Undertaker could prove to be the WrestleMania main event fans have been waiting for.

Speaking of Brock Lesnar, his intensity and drive to eliminate the Undertaker’s undefeated WrestleMania streak couldn’t be more apparent in his Mattel WWE WrestleMania XXX Series figure. With updated, accurate tattoos, MMA-style wrestling gear and a head scan roaring with power, Brock Lesnar at the very least, truly looks like the baddest man on the planet. Just in time for WrestleMania XXX, this basic style figure carries standard articulation and comes packaged in WrestleMania XXX style carding.

The Undertaker is not far behind Brock Lesnar in the Mattel WWE WrestleMania XXX Series set, complete with an updated look, accurate tattoos and a perfectly painted head sculpt. Looking to keep the streak alive, this figure trades in the gear and wild spikes for old fashioned brute Undertaker-style strength. Also packaged with WrestleMania XXX carding and ready to deliver a Tombstone Piledriver Brock Lesnar’s way, this is the most up to date, basic version of Undertaker a wrestling figure fan can get, especially with the WrestleMania XXX symbols.

Brock Lesnar is no easy foe to tackle, but Undertaker has kept his WrestleMania streak alive for so long it would be an unwise decision to bet against the power and raw mysticism of the Phenom.

ROB…VAN….DAM has finally arrived in the Mattel WWE Line!

Mattel WWE Elite 27 Rob Van Dam with steel chair accessory!

Rob Van Dam made his triumphant return to the WWE at Money in the Bank 2013, only to be ousted by Alberto Del Rio after a failed attempt at capturing the World Heavyweight Championship. The ‘One of a Kind’ Extreme superstar has been in the minds of fans ever since his re-debut as they anxiously await his return to the WWE ring to see where he will decide to place his talents. It’s possible that he could attempt to capture the United States Championship again from Dean Ambrose, settle his unfinished business with Alberto Del Rio or head straight for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Either way, the WWE Universe and wrestling figure fans will get to return Rob Van Dam to their wrestling rings much earlier. After years of anticipation, Rob Van Dam’s first Mattel WWE figure has been released and another is on the way.

Mattel WWE Elite 27 Rob Van Dam - his first time in the line!

Mattel WWE Elite 27 Rob Van Dam – his first time in the line!

The Mattel WWE Elite 27 Rob Van Dam has seen the light of day and is in the hands of fans worldwide. With a ‘First Time in the Line’ branding, a steel chair accessory and an incredibly detailed deco, this Rob Van Dam fills the long awaited void. Van Dam’s singlet sports a dragon design in the front and a highly detailed ‘RVD,’ with a yin-yang design on the back an plenty of colors. Fans were worried that the details may not come to fruition but Mattel has put their minds at ease.

With Elite articulation, fans can re-enact the VanDaminator, the VanTerminator, the Five Star Frog Splash and the Rolling Thunder at their leisure. Tall boots that accurately reflect the real thing and a scruffy look are just added details that fans couldn’t appreciate more. Despite his absence, fans will luckily have not just the now in stock Mattel WWE Elite 27 Rob Van Dam, but the Mattel WWE Series 39 Rob Van Dam on the way.

Mattel WWE Series 39 Rob Van Dam!

Mattel WWE Series 39 Rob Van Dam!

The Mattel WWE Series 39 Rob Van Dam is a basic series figure and RVD’s first time amongst the expansive line. With a flaming blue skull singlet design, Mattel decided to portray a style not often seen on Rob Van Dam and seen even less on any previous Rob Van Dam action figures. Wrestling figure fans are treated to a modern look for the Whole F’n Show and can more than likely expect more wrestling figures to come.

In the meantime, when will Rob Van Dam return to the WWE ring? He has stated numerous times that he hopes to be back in the ring ‘soon’ but there is not an appearance or even a chant in his name in sight. Only time will tell and when it does happen, the WWE Universe will have their new Mattel WWE Rob Van Dam action figures in hand.

Surprising fans everywhere, however, was the as-yet unseen Mattel WWE Battle Packs 27 including Daniel Bryan and Randy Orton, The Big Show fighting Mark Henry and the now fading Tag Team, Tons of Funk (Brodus Clay and ‘Sweet T’ aka Tensai.)

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

Mattel WWE New Age Outlaws Package Deal!

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!

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!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!

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.

Mattel WWE Elite 27 Prototype Images Revealed!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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.

Royal Rumble 2014…Possible Surprise Entrants!

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!

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!

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!

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.

Mattel WWE Elite 27 Rob Van Dam!
Rob Van Dam has been the life of the WWE party since returning at the 2013 Money In The Bank. He has fought for World Champion gold and showed that he can be a contender. No stranger to surprise Royal Rumble entrances, The Whole F’n Show could make another ‘one of a kind’ appearance in the 2014 Royal Rumble. His Mattel WWE Elite 27 has yet to be revealed, but when it is, it will invoke as much as a surprise as a Royal Rumble 2014 return would.

Mattel WWE Elite 27 Finally Up For Pre-Order!

Mattel WWE Elite 27 is one of the most anticipated Mattel WWE wrestling action figures sets of all time. Featuring three Flashbacks and three sought after modern day Superstars, this set is bound to be one of the most popular Mattel WWE Elite sets ever. The set features:

  • Undertaker
  • Billy Gunn
  • Fandango
  • Rob Van Dam
  • Kofi Kingston
  • Rikishi

The Undertaker has yet to have a main line Mattel WWE Elite figure sporting his new hairdo. This will hopefully be the figure that those who love the current Phenom have been waiting for.

Fandango’s first Mattel WWE Elite figure has extra articulation and a vest so fans can re-enact all his entrance shenanigans and pose him as a true dancer.

Kofi Kingston’s figure is still a bit of a mystery. Will it include an Intercontinental Championship from his latest short-lived run? Or will he be sporting his new long tights?

Once one of the most popular WWE Superstars, Rikishi Fatu grooved his way into the hearts of many Attitude Era fans. His figure will most likely offer plenty of stink-faces to go around.
Rob Van Dam triumphantly returned to the WWE at Money in The Bank 2013. A classic and beloved Superstar, this is his first Mattel WWE figure so fans of The Whole F’n Show are truly excited.

Affectionately called Mr. Ass, Billy Gunn makes his return to WWE action figures following his long-time partner Road Dogg in Mattel WWE Elite 26. Having the New Age Outlaws together again will be perfect for Attitude Era enthusiasts.
