This is a bit late, as he went back up yesterday, but the Amazon exclusive WWE Ultimate Edition Hulk Hogan has gone back up for Pre-Order. He was hard to grab during the first round, and was advertised as going back up last week during a livestream, but never did. However, he is up now so if you need him for your collection grab him while you can! Pre-Orders are due to ship in October 2021 and he’s retailing for $29.99.
So I’ve been paying attention to wrestling figures this year more than normal, I might be in trouble… :)
Today Mattel held a WWE Livestream over on Amazon.com. Several new figures were announced, and several pre-orders for Ultimate Edition figures went live. Included were some previous figures offered again, along with a couple new ones. All of which are Amazon exclusives. Elite 88 was also shown in physical form. Check out the links below, and hit the link above for all the other WWE Elite and Basic shown.
WWE Ultimate Edition Ultimate Warror
WWE Fan Takeover Ultimate Edition Triple H (DX)
WWE Fan Takeover Ultimate Edition Hulk Hogan
WWE Fan Takeover Ultimate Edition Jeff Hardy
Note – Hogan never went up again, that I saw refreshing non stop. I did snag a HHH. Warrior is live, Hardy is not, as of this writing. Keep checking!
Mattel have shared out new mock ups for Ultimate Edition Diesel and Doink from the WWE New Generation Arena Crowdfunding Project on Mattel Creations. As you may have seen last week, the project exploded past the finish line on the last day of early bird ordering, which guaranteed a Wrestlemania X Macho Man figure. Now Macho Man and all the stretch goals have been unlocked and the project is fully backed and will go into production.
You still have a couple days left to get your orders in if you dig the project. It will close on August 22nd at 11:59 PM East. You can do that here: Mattel Creations WWE® Ultimate Edition New Generation Arena.

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!
Whoooooh (/ric_flair)! In a massive push the last 36 hours, Mattel’s WWE Ultimate Edition New Generation Arena crowdfunding project has gone from around 50% funded to FULLY BACKED! This thing is getting made. Today is the last day for the Macho Man add on set, which is still available right now. So if you want the project, might as well grab it now to ensure your fill of Madness. Congrats to the Mattel team and the fans who backed it. You still have 9 days or so, or about 8 hours if you want the Macho Man bonus, which you can do here.
Now that this thing is happening, I will toss in my two cents – bring on the Attitude Era version! I appreciate there are fans of all eras of WWE and that I am not hardcore enough to tell anyone what should or shouldn’t be done, but I want this in an Attitude skin. Hopefully now it’s more of a reality!
Hit those links to get your orders in! Whoooooh (/ric_flair)!
Back during Comic Con @ Home Mattel launched their first crowdfunding project for a WWE Ultimate scale entrance and ring set. It’s look is from the New Generation era, which is basically after the Golden / Hogan era but before the Attitude / Stone Cold era. If funded, the set will come with a ring that you can construct like a real ring, an Ultimate scale Diesel figure, an entrance stage with LED lights. The goal of the project is 5,000 backers.
In addition to the base items, there are a couple unlock goals, and now an early bird offering as well.
Unlock 1 – 7k Backers – Ultimate Doink the Clown.
Unlock 2 – 8k backers – Additional Wrestlemania and In Your House ring skirts.
Early Bird Backers – Available only through August 13th – A Macho Madness set which features an Ultimate scale Macho Man in his black/white Wrestlemania X gear, + headset hat, announcer table, chairs, mics and monitors.
The project is ongoing and available to back now. There are a little over 2 weeks left to go. If you dig it, head on over and pledge your support!
Quick recap for the WWE Comic Con @ Home Panel. Will keep it contained to what we cover here at Toyark. There were a lot of items covered for all angles and sub-lines, so I suggest you check it out in the video below if that’s your thing. Of interest here on Toyark…
WWE Hollywood, a new line of figures showing WWE Superstars in their movie looks, going back to the 80s up to today. Wave 1 and part of Wave 2 was shown. Rock from Hobbs and Shaw, Cena from F9, Piper from They Live. Wave 2 is Rock from Scorpion King, Andre The Giant from the 6 Million Dollar Man, Roman Reigns from Hobbs and Shaw.

Taking a quick look today at some of the Mattel SDCC 2021 Exclusives. They were kind enough to send a promo box through for us to check out. This arrived just this week, so we haven’t had time to fully photograph everything yet. Since the sales start for these items tomorrow we figured we’d share out what we have done so far in case you guys want to check them before you try to buy. Included inside are semi-thorough white BG shots of Scareglow and Sgt. Slaughter, along with a few for the Star Wars Hot Wheels, MEGA Battle Labbit, and the Jurassic Park Ray Arnold 3.75 Set.
Read on to check them all out, and make sure to try for them tomorrow over at Mattel Creations. These will be available starting tomorrow at 9am PST / 12pm EST. Good luck to all!
It’s time to play the game, it’s time to play the gaaammmmeee… And it’s time to take a gallery look at the WWE Ultimate Edition Triple H figure from Mattel. Wrestling figures are something we cover passingly here – it’s a massive line spanning multiple eras and the team here doesn’t actively collect in depth. I do however pick up random figures, mostly from the Attitude era. We took at look at the defining moments Stone Cold a while back, and that gallery for whatever reason gets copied and reposted without credit constantly. We also did a gallery for the S.H. Figuarts WWE Figures, all from the Attitude Era. The Slim Jim Macho Man from last year was great. I have some more here, just for self, and so on. Select pops of awesome. I can’t go down the rabbit hole, next thing you know I’ll have a permanent ring setup with entrance ramp and jumbotron and a motion activated Stone Cold theme song every time I enter my office.
