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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

The Dangerous Elimination Chamber and its Mattel WWE Superstar Participants!

The Mattel WWE Elimination Chamber Playset!

The Elimination Chamber 2014 is fast approaching and the WWE Universe is speculating as to which WWE Superstar is going to leave the event with the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. The overwhelmingly dangerous structure was first introduced by Eric Bischoff in 2002 and has been a major WWE spectacle ever since. With pods releasing a new Superstar every few minutes, anything can happen with no disqualification and tons upon tons of cold, hard steel trapping the world’s best wrestlers with no way out other than winning.

The participants include John Cena, Daniel Bryan, Randy Orton (the current WWE World Heavyweight Champion), Christian, Sheamus and Antonio Cesaro (now known simply as ‘Cesaro.’) A combining crop of veteran WWE Superstars and young, hungry competitors make it possible for the WWE Elimination Chamber 2014 match to be incredible. Each competitor featured is a definite Mattel WWE staple, and any wrestling figure fan with the Mattel WWE Elimination Chamber Playset would be able to re-enact the action of the event.

Elimination Chamber Participants Randy Orton and Daniel Bryan in Mattel WWE Battle Packs 27!

Elimination Chamber Participants Randy Orton and Daniel Bryan in Mattel WWE Battle Packs 27!

Daniel Bryan has been chasing Randy Orton ever since he cashed in his Money in the Bank Briefcase on the American Dragon at Summerslam 2013. After multiple distractions and opposition from The Authority, Daniel Bryan will finally get his chance to face off with Randy Orton again, like in Mattel WWE Battle Packs 27. However, Randy Orton knows the target is easily on his back, so he will have to be extra aggressive during his Elimination Chamber 2014 appearance. This Mattel WWE Battle Pack includes updated looks for both The Apex Predator and the Dazzler, along with the Money in the Bank Briefcase that has proved to be the catalyst for Daniel Bryan’s struggles.

Elimination Chamber Participant Sheamus in Mattel WWE Series 38!

Elimination Chamber Participant Sheamus in Mattel WWE Series 38!

Sheamus is right back in the picture after suffering an injury and disappearing from WWE television for almost 5 months. He has made it clear he is choosing no sides and looks to enter the 2014 Elimination Chamber with power and leave the WWE World Heavyweight Champion. His participation in the event will not surprise many in the WWE Universe and while he has been vocal about his intentions to regain the top spot in the WWE, he has yet to prove himself since returning. His Mattel WWE Series 38 wrestling figure showcases his new gold and silver wrestling attire.

Elimination Chamber Participant Christian in Mattel WWE Series 39!

Elimination Chamber Participant Christian in Mattel WWE Series 39!

Christian has lost most of his matches since qualifying to gain entry into the 2014 Elimination Chamber, so he is working off weak momentum and is now only participating in his second match for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in his WWE career. However, he has been faced with impossible odds before and after proving he will not take sides with any member of the WWE locker room, Christian has the ability to be the surprise winner. In Mattel WWE Series 39, a confident and happier head sculpt on Christian reflects his current mentality as he gives his all because he may not have many more chances to do so.

Elimination Chamber Participant John Cena in Mattel WWE Series 39!

Elimination Chamber Participant John Cena in Mattel WWE Series 39!

John Cena can be considered an easy favorite to win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at Elimination Chamber. Having participated in the match numerous times before, he can also benefit from a weakened Randy Orton at the hands of other competitors. John Cena knows how to use all situations to his advantage. He is a Mattel WWE necessity, appearing here in Mattel WWE Series 39 with updated attire. Many of Cena’s fans in the Cenation will fully and completely expect him to win and face of with Batista at WrestleMania XXX, as long as he can survive the Elimination Chamber with no outside interference.

Elimination Chamber Participant Antonio Cesaro in Mattel WWE Series 27!

Elimination Chamber Participant Antonio Cesaro in Mattel WWE Series 27!

Antonio Cesaro received his first Mattel WWE figure in WWE Series 27, complete with painted chest hair and painted leg wraps. He will now receive his first WWE World Heavyweight Championship opportunity at the 2014 Elimination Chamber and will have to fend off five other WWE Superstars to prove victorious. He is not a veteran in the WWE, but proves with his brute strength and incredible move set that he is a force to be reckoned with. He is certainly the dark horse participant in the match up and will be a contender for years to come.

The Mattel WWE Elimination Chamber Playset!

The Mattel WWE Elimination Chamber Playset!

The Elimination Chamber has the ability to offer glory to anyone walking out of it victorious and horrible defeat to anyone losing not only their match, but their pride and adding an additional possibility of serious injury. The Mattel WWE Elimination Chamber Playset has the ability to offer a re-enactment of all those emotions for any Mattel WWE wrestling figure collector. With the inclusion of these six participants, the stakes can be raised and the show can be unforgettable.

Mattel WWE Elite 28 Big Show!

Mattel WWE Elite 28 Big Show!

The Mattel WWE Elite 28 Big Show could prove to be a dud with a similar release to his previous Elites, but the chance at a Big Show from a different classic phase or including a crying feature is too good not to consider. His huge hands, also known as WMD’s, will most likely be included.

Mattel WWE Elite 28 Triple H!

Mattel WWE Elite 28 Triple H!

The current WWE COO and member of The Authority has not regularly been seen in wrestling attire since helping Randy Orton win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, but his short hair and a possible suit could definitely be included in this Mattel WWE Elite 28 release.

Mattel WWE Elite 28 Daniel Bryan!

Mattel WWE Elite 28 Daniel Bryan!

An updated Daniel Bryan with ever-changing beard is a huge desire of Mattel WWE wrestling figure fans, as the Yes-master becomes more and more popular. An updated Daniel Bryan Elite will most certainly come with a t-shirt of some kind but more importantly, a new look that reflects his changing style.

Mattel WWE ECW CM Punk Exclusive Wrestling Figure in Packaging!

Mattel WWE ECW CM Punk Exclusive Wrestling Figure!

Mattel WWE ECW CM Punk Exclusive Wrestling Figure!

Underneath, CM Punk’s tattoos are accurate to the time frame, showcasing the tattoos that he had on his arms and stomach at the time. Not including too many tattoos, this figure matches CM Punk’s ink perfectly for the ECW brand inclusion.

A Mattel WWE Figure for Hall Of Famer Lita?

Mattel WWE Women's Champion Lita Wrestling Figure!

Lita, the high flying, trend setting WWE Diva and Superstar who changed the landscape of women’s wrestling with the WWE, has recently been announced as a WWE Hall of Fame 2014 inductee. Fans haven’t forgotten Lita and remember her for her time performing with Lucha Libre style during the Attitude Era, controversial relationships with the Hardy Boyz and Edge, and reigns with the WWE Women’s Championship. She has cemented her place in wrestling history as one of the most memorable female performers of all time. It is likely that she could possibly be in line for a Mattel WWE wrestling figure release now with her Hall of Fame induction. Time will tell, but some wrestling figure fans are already speculating on possible outfits.

Mattel WWE Debut Lita Wrestling Figure!

Mattel WWE Debut Lita Wrestling Figure!

Many wrestling fans are unfamiliar with Lita’s WWE debut as it seemed she was always a member of the Hardyz, but Lita actually debuted with Lucha Libre star Essa Rios in a shiny red wrestling top and pants. Her first chances to show off her luchadore style came during this time, wowing fans with amazing high flying maneuvers and incredible speed. A Mattel WWE debut figure of Lita would seem unlikely, but many fans during the Attitude Era have memories of her first appearance and the immediate impact she had on women’s wrestling, showing that anyone could perform in the ring in an incredible way. A Mattel WWE version of this Lita would offer an impactful debut figure.

Mattel WWE Women's Champion Lita Wrestling Figure!

Mattel WWE Women’s Champion Lita Wrestling Figure!

Lita is perhaps best known for her time as WWE Women’s Champion and as a member of the Hardy Boyz, so her most likely Mattel WWE wrestling figure release would include a stylized look throwing back to her Hardy days. With either a mesh top, Women’s Championship or pants that include bottoms sticking out from underneath, Lita’s style was always apparent during her Hardy Boyz days and a Mattel WWE figure showcasing that would prove to be extremely sought after. If a signature Mattel WWE Lita was to be made, it would more than likely look something like this.

Mattel WWE Rated R Lita Wrestling Figure!

Mattel WWE Rated R Lita Wrestling Figure!

Possibly too risqué for a Mattel WWE wrestling figure given the WWE’s new PG direction, a ‘Rated R’ Lita would be anything but. Her time with Edge proved controversial but for many it created loads and loads of memorable moments, including one of the WWE’s highest rated segments of all time. The WWE Universe began to despise Lita and wished her away as Cryme Tyme bid her adieu with a ‘ho sale.’ A scantily dressed, cheaply outfitted Lita would make for a Mattel WWE wrestling figure that could add some crassness to any collection.

Mattel WWE Hall of Famer Lita Wrestling Figure!

Mattel WWE Hall of Famer Lita Wrestling Figure!

Now, as a future member of the WWE Hall of Fame, Lita no doubt is still in ring shape and could run with the best of today’s WWE Divas. With a wink, nod and a flip Lita could get back in to the ring like old times, and a Mattel WWE modern day, Hall of Fame version of Lita would make wrestling figure fans looking to deepen their current rosters happy with an irreplaceable, Hall of Fame free agent.

Is Batista Getting the Right Reaction From the WWE Universe?

Mattel WWE Royal Rumble 2014 Batista Wrestling Figure!

Batista returned to the WWE just in time to participate in the 2014 Royal Rumble. The WWE Universe seemed underwhelmed by his return as he set his sights on the WWE World Heavyweight Championship and looked to send a message to the rest of the WWE locker room by taking out Alberto Del Rio. Some were very excited, but many felt it wasn’t the explosive return they were looking for. Regardless, Batista made it clear he was in the WWE to stay for the time being.

Mattel WWE Series 37 Batista Wrestling Figure!

Mattel WWE Series 37 Batista Wrestling Figure!

Before leaving the WWE, Batista had a storied career, competing at WrestleMania multiple times and becoming WWE Champion. The Mattel WWE Series 37 version of Batista celebrates WrestleMania heritage and calls back to a simpler time when Batista didn’t sport many tattoos, had just given up being a deacon and followed behind his longer standing companions in Evolution. Here is an appearance from one of his first WrestleManias as ‘The Animal’ complete with trunks stating the like and black strapped boots.

Mattel WWE 2014 Return Batista Wrestling Figure!

Mattel WWE 2014 Return Batista Wrestling Figure!

Batista wore a very cool, skin tight white and red track jacket, grey pants and sunglasses upon his WWE return in 2014. A Mattel WWE figure in plain clothes is mostly not in the cards according to the Mattel WWE Design Team, however they may consider the possibility as the return outfits of many wrestlers are usual memorable to the WWE Universe. In addition, Batista destroyed Alberto Del Rio when wearing the same outfit so fans will most likely never forget it.

Mattel WWE WrestleMania XXX Batista vs. Brock Lesnar!

Mattel WWE WrestleMania XXX Batista vs. Brock Lesnar!

Just in time for WrestleMania XXX, Batista returned to the Mattel WWE line in a Battle Pack with Brock Lesnar as a ‘fantasy match-up.’ With accurate tattoos and a heavy beard, The Animal faces off with The Beast in a match that the WWE Universe anticipates at some point in the career of both staple wrestlers. This is perfect timing as it is in line with the actual return of Batista to the WWE so fans will have The Animal available.

Mattel WWE Royal Rumble 2014 Batista Wrestling Figure!

Mattel WWE Royal Rumble 2014 Batista Wrestling Figure!

No doubt eventually slated for release, a Mattel WWE version of Batista winning the 2014 Royal Rumble is likely to be a desire of wrestling figure fans who both like and dislike Batista. His red ring shoes, black trunks and new physique are enough to get wrestling figure fans talking, but the WWE Universe as a whole did not react well to his Royal Rumble win. The question remains, what does the WWE Universe want from The Animal? Are they looking for a hero to change the landscape of the WWE, or have they find another enemy for the heroes they are hoping to have more of an impact?

The Future Possibility Of a Mattel WWE Kurt Angle Figure

Mattel WWE Eurocontinental Champion Kurt Angle Wrestling Figure!

Kurt Angle is an absolute wrestling legend that no wrestling fan on the planet disputes in any way. After putting on five star matches in both WWE and TNA, as time moves on and injuries pile up, Kurt Angle is closer to retirement than ever before and wrestling fans will no doubt be sad to see the Olympic gold medalist’s career come to an end. But his involvement in the wrestling business will most likely never end as one of the best big mouths in the history of wrestling will always have a place and presence. Kurt Angle has made it clear he feels he will one day wrestle for the WWE once again and the WWE Universe would welcome him with open arms. Mattel WWE wrestling figure fans would be even more excited at the possibility of versions of Kurt Angle wrestling figures from throughout his career.

Mattel WWE Eurocontinental Champion Kurt Angle Wrestling Figure!

Mattel WWE Eurocontinental Champion Kurt Angle Wrestling Figure!

Perhaps Kurt Angle’s most popular and well known phase ever came during the WWE ‘Attitude Era’ when he held both the WWE Intercontinental and WWE European championships at once, deeming himself the ‘Eurocontinental Champion.’ Constantly at odds with the WWE Universe, the rest of the locker room and the WWE Champion at the time, Kurt would make it clear that he would stop at nothing to wear all the WWE Championships he could, and they meant as much to him as his Olympic gold medals did. A Mattel WWE figure of this version of Kurt Angle should be most likely a certainty.

Mattel WWE Olympic Gold Medalist Kurt Angle Wrestling Figure With Wig!

Mattel WWE Olympic Gold Medalist Kurt Angle Wrestling Figure With Wig!

Many fans know Kurt Angle for his wrestling ability but many more know him for his comedic, entertaining wrestling chops. When he lost a Hair vs. Hair match to Edge, Kurt Angle refused to let the WWE Universe in on his new haircut. Because of this, he wore an obvious wig underneath wrestling headgear to the ring each week, assuming the WWE Universe would be none the wiser. His attires at the time were beginning to become more colorful, so a Mattel WWE figure including those attires and a removable wig and wrestling headgear accessory may provide exactly the type of unique feature that Mattel WWE wrestling figure fans are used to.

Undisputed and World Heavyweight Champion Mattel WWE Kurt Angle!

Undisputed and World Heavyweight Champion Mattel WWE Kurt Angle!

Kurt Angle transitioned more into a power wrestling role during his final WWE appearance, capturing World Heavyweight Championship and even Undisputed WWE Championship gold. His American themed singlets and growing physique would prove for a strong, focused Kurt Angle that would seen become one of the faces of the ECW brand before his WWE departure. Many WWE fans remember this unstoppable version of Kurt Angle for bringing an intensity to wrestling that was beginning to be otherwise overlooked.

Modern Day Mattel WWE Kurt Angle Wrestling Figure!

Modern Day Mattel WWE Kurt Angle Wrestling Figure!

As Kurt Angle hasn’t made a WWE appearance in almost 10 years, his TNA career can be the only thing by which WWE fans can judge and guess what a Mattel WWE figure would look like. Kurt hasn’t missed a beat since leaving the WWE, putting on stellar matches in TNA and continuing to showcase red, white and blue themed outfits that offer a variety for Angle’s personality. A modern day Mattel WWE Kurt Angle wrestling figure would depend on if Angle does in fact participate in a match upon returning to the WWE. He is a future WWE Hall of Famer, no doubt, but having one more match in the WWE remains an unanswered question that will be answered sooner rather than later.
