WWE and Mattel teamed up for their annual panel at San Diego Comic-Con this week, featuring exclusively the stars of NXT, including general manager William Regal, NXT Champion Finn Balor, Sami Zayn and Charlotte.
Mattel announced a number of new action figures coming soon, including several stars making their first-time appearance on the market – Charlotte, Hideo Itami, The Ascension, and J&J Security (who got a massive pop from the crowd). Coming to the Elite Collection will be The Miz, Dean Melenko (first time), Stephanie McMahon, Adam Rose, “Macho Man” Randy Savage, and The APA (first time).
They also had several prototype figures that will be released in the future, many for the first time, including Bayley, Sheamus with his new look, The Undertaker from WrestleMania 31, Kalisto, Kevin Owens, the British Bulldog, The Godfather, Finn Balor in full ‘Demon’ paint, and Sami Zayn with the NXT title.
Mattel also announced a few new additions to their Defining Moments collection coming out over the next year. The Undertaker in full Ministry gear will be released this fall, followed by nWo Hollywood Hogan during Royal Rumble 2016 season, and finally classic red, white and blue Sting will come out in time for WrestleMania.
The team then opened up the floor to discussion with the WWE/NXT Superstars and Divas, moderated by William Regal. You can watch the entire San Diego Comic-Con panel in the video below, and a big thanks to our friends at RingsideCollectibles.com!
