Hello all, it's been quite a while since I have written a blog, I have been laid up with sciatica, I hope none of you ever have to go through it, terrible pain. So, it's that time of year again, San Diego Comic Con time and it's the time of year us wrestling figure collectors realise we are going to be hit in the pocket big time as Mattel reveal a myriad of action figures they will be releasing in the coming months. We get to see actual figures and pictures of upcoming figures and we always are surprised with what we see and this year is no different. So much stuff has been released, I am starting this after the first day of reveals and I imagine I won't cover everything. So, let's start with what I always regard as my favourite line (more so the original line) the Legends Series. So, we have series 15 about to hit the UK via independent sellers and we knew what was coming in series 16 with an updated APA (Faarooq/Bradshaw in ring gear when part o...

I have written previously about the Ultimate Edition figures; you can find that piece HERE but with new ones being released since I wrote that and images of future ones hitting the interwebs, I thought I'd do another piece. The Ultimate Edition line is a great line from Mattel, many had reservations due to the higher price point and figure wise the change in the bodies from the Elite look however, overall, the figures are amazing and there are still people trying to get hold of the older ones. As a prominent Youtuber said, people are collecting a loose and MOC figure of each released thinking they may go the way of the Defining Moment line which even though some have been in clearance sections in their times, are very sought after. Of course, I like doing Top 5 lists, mainly of one particular wrestler in Elite form plus Ultimate Edition form if said wrestler has had one. The last 2 lists I compiled (Ric Flair/Ultimate Warrior) both featured their UE figures. The Ultimate Edition fi...

So, you know what this is, let's have a look at the reveals from WWE/Mattel yesterday over at the WWE's website. There were loads of images shown and you know me, I am into the Elites and Ultimate Editions but there just won't be enough space to show them all here so I will add the best bits, best that are in my opinion of course. They had some WWE/Masters of the Universe figures to show first, not a line I am remotely interested in. Before I was into wrestling, in fact, way before, I was into wrestling I collected MOTU figures as a kid, recall pestering my mom to get me Trap Jaw. Any readers collect these crossover figures? Basic Championship Showdown packs up next, another line I don't collect. They showed a Mankind/Austin set followed by Big Boss Man/British Bulldog in jeans and then Trish Stratus/Chyna. More basics up next, Summer Slam basics, Roman Reigns, Bayley, Kane, Silver Surfer Rey Mysterio, Apollo Crews, Jake Atlas who is also the chase in the line and then ...
