motwweu wave 3

Mattel is back with another round of Masters of the Universe / WWE crossover action!  Wave 3 of MOTWWEU features 4 more figures adding to the ranks.  The Rock has no specific crossover, but features electric effects for the wrist, championship belt, He-Man-esque chest armor and a Man At Arms style club.  Braun Strowman is a Beast Man homage, featuring his chest and shoulder armor along with some Terror Claws that have been used several times so far. The New Day is a Man-E-Faces homage, featuring a spinning head sculpt with 3 dead on likenesses to all members of the team.  The helmet is classic Man-E-Faces, and now features a slight side-to-side swivel along with the face spins.  Rounding things out is The Undertaker – I don’t see parts which are specific to MOTU but I don’t have everything memorized so if you see a homage there let us know.   He does glow in the dark though, well, featuring an eerie milky white plastic when not lit up.  EDIT – Duh, he homages Scare Glow in the staff, the GITD angle and the tats under the armor.  Shout to Pravus Prime on that.

All in all another fun round!  These brands work surprisingly well together.  For fans of vintage MOTU or the MOTU Origins line coming later this year – parts swapping and custom materials are plenty with these WWE versions.  Read on to check some pics showing off what they can do after the break, courtesy of Mattel!

Arena 3 WWE Elite 76

We are back with another Extreme Sets gallery, this time it’s for their MASSIVE Arena 3.0 set. Extreme Sets started off way back when doing items for wrestling figures, before they moved into the full scope of action figure dioramas. Arena 3.0 takes this to a new level. It’s double stacked tall at 3 feet, and 7 feet wide, I couldn’t even fully extend it on my photo staging area, which is pretty big! Wrapping this around a ring will allow you to fully recreate the vibe of being in an arena while you figures battle it out. From the photography standpoint, it’s also great because you can get those epic shots pointing up into the ring while still filling the background with crowd. Something new this round is also separate ringside stands with layered people, all using stock photography. This adds another round of realism, and works especially well in photography when they are blurred out, much better than the cartoony outlines on the last one.

In conjunction with the Extreme Sets Arena 3.0 shoot here, we also ran the recently released WWE Elite Series 76 figures. Wrestling isn’t our normal angle here, but we figured since Arena 3.0 was in the house let’s give them a spin! Included are John Cena, Braun Strowman, Tucker and Otis (Heavy Machinery), Lacey Evans, and Christian from his Brood days. There is also a Christian variant in a black shirt, which is what we got actually and is featured here. I can’t speak to specifics regarding Elite and what’s expected by long time fans, but they were well executed from a technical point of view, nice range of articulation and the TruFX faces came through. Christian in this era was from my last run in WWE land, so researching and setting up some Brood entrance shots was a fun trip down memory lane.  Now I want a modern Gangrel and Brood Edge!

Read on to check it all out, courtesy of Extreme Sets and Mattel, respectively. Both are in stock and shipping now!

You can also use code TOYARK at checkout over at Extreme-Sets.com, and you’ll get 15% off your orders.
