Masters of the WWE Wave 3

The official WWE website updated with a bunch of new reveals. Included among them are the next wave of the Masters of the WWE Universe Figures. These mash ups feature WWE Superstars both past and present as classic style Masters of the Universe figures. We’ve previously taken a look at both Wave 1 and Wave 2 of the figures. Wave 3 includes:

  • The Rock
  • New Day
  • Braun Strowman
  • The Undertaker

The Rock looks to be a He-Man homage, though he carries the weapon of Man-At-Arms. The New Day figure is a Man-E-Faces tribute. The three faces include the faces of Kofi Kingston, Big E, and Xavier Woods. Braun Strowman pays homagee to Beast Man. The Undertaker is a Glow-In-The-Dark figure, a clear tribute to Scareglow. The figures will be exclusively available at Walmart, and should be priced at $15 each.

Pre-order listings have not gone live just yet. However, there are some hidden listings on the Walmart site (without images) that name even more figure. The hidden listings include the following figures:

We will update with photos of those figures when they become available. For the figures that have been revealed, you can see their photos after the jump.

x MOTWWEU Wave 2

Masters of the WWE Universe Wave 2 has dropped!  This is Mattel’s WWE and Masters of the Universe crossover line, using the new MOTU Origins style bodies.  For those who don’t know, Origins are vintage He-Man style bodies with added articulation.  Before MOTU Origins fully hits, they’ve been using the body style for this line, mixing up WWE Superstars and MOTU characters.  This wave has four pieces – Macho Man Randy Savage with Man At Arms callbacks, Rey Mysterio Jr. with Stratos pieces, John Cena Faker He-Man style, and Roman Reigns with Fisto elements.  In Package the MOTU elements are more hidden, but once out of the box they really show off their crossover feels.

MOTU collectors should note that the parts needed for future Origins characters not yet announced are being worked in here, so the designs are ready to go if/when they get there.

We’ve run these guys through a quick gallery. They are hitting Walmart now, where they are exclusive to.   Read on to check the shots courtesy of Mattel!

MOTWWEU

One of the surprises from SDCC 2019 was that not only was Mattel relaunching MOTU in a new retro format with WWE Origins, but that they were taking that body style and applying it to the WWE universe in a big cross over.  Titled Masters of the WWE Universe – the mash up takes MOTU vintage style bodies, with the new articulation points seen on Origins figures, and works WWE personalities into the mix.

Each are decked out with armor and weapons like a MOTU figure would be, all while keeping their unique WWE traits.   Cena gets a He-Man sword and shield plus his chest armor, while keeping his trademark jorts and fade.  HHH gets a celtic themed skull helmet and hammer inspired by his crazy ring entrances.  And so on.  To go along with all this, they also put out a Grayskull inspired ring with green rocky sides and skull based ring posts, complete with two additional figures (Cena and an alt HHH).  These are all Wal-Mart exclusives in the USA, and are available now.

I really enjoyed the Origins He-Man set from SDCC, and I like the idea.  I do think some refinement will be welcome, and they have some time to do that.  This extension is not something I would jump in on normally, but they are cool for what they are, and introduces the format to a younger generation.  Plus, for MOTU customizers, I can see these bodies and parts working wonders.

Mattel sent through the first wave and the ring to check out, so we’ve run them through some pics to show what they can do.  Check it all out after the break, and hit Walmart if you dig em!
