Mattel is following up last year’s awesome SDCC Exclusive Slim Jim Macho Man with another 80’s icon – Mr. T! This WWE Elite figure is a first in line, and features his look from promotional materials the WWF WWE used at the time. Namely the camo jacket, trademark gold chains, gold rings, and bracelets. His wrestling attire features blue trunks as seen on his Saturday Night Main Event appearances. The likeness is really good, giving us a grimacing stare using the TruFX face paint. That’s all wrapped up in a really sweet box, which features artwork of a Mattel WWE Elite Logo hanging off some gold chains (I smell a role play item coming).
All in all, it’s an awesome piece that’s dripping with 80s juice and a great companion to the Macho Man. Mattel was kind enough to send through a copy to check out so read on to see our shots of Mr. T in action! He’s currently sold out, but keep an eye on Entertainment Earth in case more pop up!

Another fun one. Mattel is tricking me into all these wrestling figures lately hehe.
I think the likeness is great. Overall fun, but not as silly and chat worthy as last year's Slim Jim Macho. I'd be happy if they keep up the crazy 80's unique ones for SDCC, get a running theme going. I won't do full on waves, but I'll rock a little corner for these exclusives.
Such a killer figure! Love the in-ring shots and the "sweating" shots.
Oh man, this is straight fire. I don't even collect wrestling figures, and this has so much potential for other franchise uses like A-Team and Rocky.
Mattel needs to invest in some damn wristband tooling. They don't even need to be sculpted to the arm, just make them slip-on pieces! The painted wristbands look terrible!
Killer action figure awesome photos!
Now they need to make the rest of the t-force!
With all the goods in this exclusive they must not have had the budget.
If it came down to it, would you rather have sculpted wristbands or no wristbands at all? Legit question.
A wrestling fig purist seems to prefer the ability to strip a fig down to "legit" ring attire. They know that. I'm in camp sculpt it, but I've realized a purist might say different. It never even occurred to me that a wrestling fig is best when it has the ability to look as they would in real life during most match scenerios. But it makes sense. However, I'd be using T's wrists and rings to go way over the top without a thought XD
My fig fed is ridiculous. It's mostly monsters anyway.
But I missed the exclusive like an idiot. Should have got it.
IF only just for the sweaty pics. Nice touch man, nice touch.
They "HIT" it out the park with Mr. T...
What a great sculpt...
Super Nice Fig
