Sin Cara’s Identity Crisis!

January 30th, 2014 by Ringside Figures

Fans remember Sin Cara’s original identity crisis. His usually explosively high flying and fan-friendly personality was suddenly replaced with a mean, angry demeanor that shocked everyone, including his opponent at the time, Daniel Bryan. Having matches with Daniel Bryan led to vicious attacks for the bearded one at the hands of Sin Cara, who he had before considered a friend and ally. Mattel commemorated their feud in Mattel WWE Battle Packs 17 with a Daniel Bryan and Sin Cara 2-pack.

Mattel WWE Battle Packs 15 Sin Cara vs. Daniel Bryan!

Not only did this Battle Pack feature a folding chair, it included Sin Cara’s first ever Mattel WWE figure and an accurate Daniel Bryan figure to the time of the feud. Things were not all that they seemed, however, as Sin Cara returned to the WWE to confront…Sin Cara. It turned out that Hunico, at the time known as Sin Cara Negro, was imitating the masked warrior and causing trouble as he pretended to be the real Sin Cara. He was soon unmasked and has since adopted the Hunico look and style, as featured in this Mattel WWE Rumblers set with Rey Mysterio.

Mattel WWE Rumblers Hunico & Rey Mysterio!

Hunico is a no-nonsense, street style wrestling performer who may have been put in his place by the real Sin Cara, but has proven he maintains his sneaky demeanor and is ready to attack at any moment.

In the meantime, Sin Cara went from a cold streak, to a hot streak, and back to a cold streak again, all the while gaining a tattoo that fans speculate looks mysteriously like Hunico’s. Hard to prove as no one knows exactly what Sin Cara looks like, but many wonder if Hunico has chosen to take up Sin Cara’s garb again. The question becomes, why has Hunico done this, and what has happened to the real Sin Cara, featured here in Mattel WWE Elite 25 with his latest (and possibly last) Elite figure?

Mattel WWE Elite 25 Sin Cara!

With a watermelon-like, green zebra style print on his outfit, this Sin Cara may be the final incarnation of the ‘good’ Sin Cara the WWE Universe had gotten to know so well. A mystery that WWE refuses to comment on, as they have made no official statement as to the whereabouts, or even possibility of disappearance of any Sin Cara at all. In the meantime, fans have not seen Hunico appear and have only seen a Sin Cara that appears to have a tattoo extremely similar to that of Hunico’s tattoo. A possible coincidence or even a third person wearing the Sin Cara mask would surprise no member of the WWE Universe at this point. For now, Sin Cara figures continue to be released as normal (and without any additional tattoos) like the new 12-inch line in white.

Mattel WWE 12-Inch Sin Cara!

Sin Cara’s 12-inch articulation and high flying ability may soon be a thing of the past, but for now fans continue to speculate about who the man behind the mask actually is.

Ringside Collectibles Offering Loose Championship Belts!

January 30th, 2014 by Ringside Figures

Until now, Mattel WWE Championships, also known as wrestling figure belts, have only widely been available when included with other Mattel WWE figures. For fans who need wrestling figure belts for their collection but don’t want to spring for an exclusive figure or are not a fan of who they might be included with, Ringside Collectibles is offering some loose wrestling figure belts for what is most likely only a limited time. Championship belts are an important part of playing with wrestling figures and there are currently four available on their own.

Mattel WWE Winged Eagle Championship!

Fans of the classic late 80’s to mid-90’s era of wrestling will instantly recognize the Winged Eagle WWE Championship, here as a Mattel WWE accessory. With detailed gold plates, a prestigious eagle and declaration of championship on the front faceplate, it’s a championship visibly held by the likes of Hulk Hogan, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels and more. Any fan of classic wrestling and classic wrestling figures will be looking for this as part of their collection.

Mattel WWE Smoking Skull Championship!

Throughout wrestling history, few Superstars have been given custom versions of their World Championship, and one of the best examples is the Smoking Skull WWE Championship, made especially for Stone Cold Steve Austin. With a skull in the front of the title and smoking coming from its eyes, many fans of the Attitude Era remember this championship fondly and how Stone Cold would whip and toss it around on his way to the ring. Stone Cold Steve Austin fans can easily add this to their Stone Cold wrestling figure collection.

Mattel WWE Attitude Championship!

The Attitude Era brought about a re-design of the WWE Championship that many fans still miss and fondly remember to this day, including former WWE Champion Chris Jericho. With a perfectly round faceplate and a blue globe in the center, it embodied what it meant to truly be the world champion. It’s a must have for fans of the era where the belt was a centerpiece, and the perfect wrestling figure belt to add to your classic wrestling figures.

Jakks TNA World Heavyweight Championship!

For fans of wrestling in general, TNA may not be the top company but they hold their own and do have a prestigious World Heavyweight Championship. That title is replicated by Jakks with this die-cast, leather strapped version that even includes velcro for a perfect fit. For wrestling figure fans looking to expand their roster or even creating separate brands, the TNA World Heavyweight Championship is a perfect place to begin. Creating multiple brands with multiple champions make ‘invading’ your other wrestling figures federations endless and offer ripe possibilities for plenty of fun.
