Ultimate HHH 032

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.

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!

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!

Elite Macho Man Slim Jim SDCC 021

OOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHH YEEEEEEEEEEAAAAHHHHHHH – SNAP INTO IT!

Need a little excitement? Well snap into a Slim Jim styled Macho Man WWE Elite figure!  San Diego Comic Con is right around the corner and one of Mattel’s exclusives this year is the peak of what a con exclusive should be – awesome figure, mass appeal theme, retro vibes.  The Macho Man is back with an outfit matching his look from the 80s Slim Jim commercials complete with an  animal print faux leather jacket (with tassels), matching cowboy hat, super rad sunglasses and not one but TWO epic Slim Jim accessories that he can hold.  This is all wrapped around a solid WWE Elite mold for the figure complete with TrueFX digital paint on the head.  To cap off the awesomeness, his packaging is a replica of the Slim Jim box you’d see sitting on a counter at 7-11 making it easy to grab your tasty meat snack.

Bottom line, this one was perfectly executed and I’m super happy they did it.  Even if you aren’t into wrestling figs regularly as a collector this one is worthy for anyone’s shelves.  Mattel sent through a copy early for us to check out, read on to check out over 55 HD images of Macho Man beating down his enemies with Meat Snacks!

For those who can’t attend SDCC – He’s available to purchase at Entertainment Earth starting today! He’ll ship after the show sometime in August.  You can order yours here.

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!

Back at NYCC 2016 Playmates revealed a new twist on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles figures that not many of us were expecting – Ninja Superstars. These are figures where the Turtles dress up as their favorite WWE wrestlers. The first 4 include Leo as John Cena, Raph as Sting, Donny as the Undertaker, and Mikey as Macho Man Randy Savage. We got our hands on Mikey’s cosplay with Macho Man, and ran him through a set. Read on to check out the pics along with some quick thoughts!

We here at Toyark don’t focus on wrestling figures very often, there are a ton of great sites out there and we aren’t into the lines full on at a personal level. Every once and a while though Mattel drops a gem and we pay attention. I’ve been looking for a Stone Cold figure to slip into the all purpose shelves for a while, and the recent Defining Moments figure hit the spot. I was lucky enough to find one in the wild so let’s take a look at him after the break as he stunners through the rest of my super hero shelves. :)
