Ultimate Stone Cold 50

Talk about your Psalms, talk about John 3:16 – AUSTIN 3:16 SAYS I JUST WHIPPED YOUR ASS!.

Today we are taking a look at a recent drop from Mattel’s WWE Ultimate Edition figures – Stone Cold Steve Austin. The Texas Rattlesnake gets an upgrade from his previous Elite entries with additional articulation and a slew of accessories. For those that follow I am a VERY casual collector of WWE stuff, focusing mainly on the Attitude Era, and besties at that.  Stone Cold stuff always gets me though. This Ultimate Edition is an upgrade over the last one I grabbed which was the Defining Moments 6 (see our gallery for that here) so I had to grab him.

He’s out now in certain spots, I grabbed mine at Ringside Collectibles (no sponsor connection) with pre-orders still inbound at others. Make sure to get your POs in because he’s selling out pretty quick.

We’ve run him for a set of pics, basic and fancy, including some comparisons. Read on to check them out along with some additional thoughts!

WWE Ghostbusters

Who ya gonna call? WWE Superstars, that’s who! Mattel has mashed up two fan favorites with the WWE Elite Ghostbusters assortment, a Wal-Mart exclusive in the States. The wave features The Rock, Stone Cold, Shawn Michaels and John Cena in full Ghostbusting gear. But, who are they busting? The Undertaker of course, in astral form aka translucent purple plastic. Does this make sense? No, but who cares, it’s silly and awesome.

Each WWE Superstar has a proton pack and clothes resembling the Ghostbusters jumpsuits. Stone Cold and The Rock have full soft goods jumpsuits, while Cena and Michaels take a bit of liberty. Cena has a Ghostbusters wristband, while Michaels has a Ghostbusters hat. Once you remove all that, they have traditional WWE get ups with ecto green highlights. The Undertaker is full translucent head to toe, with a green WWE winged eagle championship belt. He even has ghost tats painted on that see through plastic. I am not a hardcore WWE Elite collector, but on quick glance each figure looks to be a re-use of an existing release.

These are due out soon at Wal-Mart, keep your eyes peeled online and in stores. Read on to check out our photo shoot with over 80 HD shots courtesy of Mattel!

Tamashii Nations S.H. Figuarts line has jumped into non-Japanese licenses with Marvel, DC and Star Wars, but those aren’t the only ones.  On top of video games like Street Fighter and cartoons like the classic Turtles, they also are doing WWF WWE wrestling figures.  Now, one thing Mattel has done well over the years in the boys figure space is wrestling, so it’s hard to jump in and convince folks they need a 50 dollar version of superstars they probably already have.  That being said, I don’t have many Mattel figs but do dig classic wrestling.  I’m a kid of the 80s so of course I was around for Hogan and the rise of the WWF.  In my college years, I rode the Attitude Era and watched Stone Cold, The Rock, and Triple H re-invent what wrestling could be.  These figures are based on that time, giving us Attitude versions of them along with Kane and Undertaker.  Five in all at the moment.

We’ve done a massive catch up shoot, showing off all 5 and what they can do.  Over 210 images.  Read on to check out some additional thoughts and all the glorious pics including a tag match between The Rock and Stone Cold vs Undertaker and Triple H!

Fans will be happy to know he can pull off the Stone Cold Stunner perfectly. The Rock includes three interchangeable heads, multiple swappable hands, and a microphone.
