Ringside Collectibles Exclusives (Mattel/WWE) Part 1

Image
Welcome back all, I've been ill this week so that's why there's been a bit of a delay on the blog front but today I am back with a look at a series of figures I am very much into, a line I have yet to complete but not far off, yes, today, I'll look at the Ringside Collectables exclusive figures. So back in 2010, Mattel started to release figures of WWE wrestlers and Legends. And Ringside Collectables (RSC) have worked with WWE for years and this led to them being able to get certain figures that you could only purchase (initially at least) through their website. For the MOC collectors these figures stood out more as they have that little sticker on the box that stated they were exclusive to RSC. I as a loose collector of course am not too worried about this but many, not all, of the figures in the RSC exclusive line are great. So, let's get cracking. The first one released was a Ringside Fest exclusive first, Rey Mysterio which is billed as Rey Mysterio Flash as the...

The Defining Moments Line Part 3

Welcome to the third and final part of my look at the Defining Moments line. In the first 2 parts I think the peak of this line was covered but let's see what else we got. So, May 2016 saw another Sting being released and this was a 'Surfer' Sting and he was decked out in his ring attire that he wore at the WCW Great American Bash of 1990 and that was a Defining Moment as it was the, well, was supposed to be, the passing of the torch as Sting won his first world title defeating Ric Flair. This figure had a variant of sorts, the first release had the boots with laces and the second one was more accurate as it didn't have laces just like the boots he wore in the match. It's an OK figure, nice display piece and as I said, every bit a defining moment. Next up in July we had another Ultimate Warrior and this is one of the figures where I believe doesn't fit into the defining moment category. It is based on his Ultimate Maniacs tag team which was with Randy Savage and...

The Defining Moments Line Part 2

Welcome back guys to my second look at the Defining Moments line, if you didn't read part one, you can see it HERE . So last time I wrote about the first 8 releases in the line, so let's  continue. The ninth release in the line saw the first John Cena of the line, decked out in orange in his 'Thuganomics' phase he came with 2 spinner belts, the US championship and the WWE world  championship. While not a Cena fan, the figure does look great on display.  Also released at this time was what is considered many peoples favourite Defining Moment figure, based on his appearance at the In Your House 'Canadian Stampede' PPV from 1997 - Bret 'Hitman' Hart. It's an iconic look for the Hitman at a great time in wrestling as he comes with the shades, leather jacket, WWF title and Canadian flag. It really is a great figure and even if you can't get all the figures from this line, if you get this one, you have a great figure in your collection. Not easy to get...
