Since their origins in the 1980s, the WWE Wrestling Action Figures have become featured figures in the toy repertoire of many children across the world. The epic showdowns that WWE Wrestling features on television provides non-stop entertainment for viewers; the action figures themselves have likewise provided seemingly endless hours of amusement for kids and fans of WWE Wresting alike.
Although the brand features a wide variety of popular characters from the series to be purchased as action figures, a few stand out as the most iconic representation of the brand.
The Undertaker has consistently been among the most popular action figures created by the WWE Wrestling brand. In 2013, the brand identified what they say has become their most popular figure to date: their recreation of the Phenom clad in the attire from WrestleMania XII. This action figure’s get-up includes a wide-brimmed hat, a purple necktie and gloves, and a Phantom of the Opera-style face mask. This Undertaker action figure is both terrifying and enticing, appealing to children (perhaps as a sort of villain-figure in their toy boxes) and adult fans of the WWE Wrestling brand.
Randy Savange, aka the “Macho Man” is also featured among the WWE Wrestling brand’s top action figures. Of particular popularity is the “Macho Man” as he is featured in the “Defining Moments” series. This attire features the Macho Man decked out in white a purple from head to toe, including a white and purple cowboy hat, shades, jacket, pants and boots. Let us not forget the tassels – this action figure is complete with long white tassels which hang from each of his arms. The WWE Wrestling brand has named the Macho Man among their top action figures of all time.
Even those of us who do not follow WWE Wrestling know the persona of Hulk Hogan. From his platinum handlebar mustache to the bandana on his head to his hulking figure, he is one of the most instantly recognizable faces in the WWE, and claimed by many to be the greatest pro-wrestler of all time. Consequentially, finding action figures of Hulk Hogan is relatively easy. Classic action figures of Hulk Hogan usually feature the man clad in yellow boots, red knee pads, and a yellow upper body suit. Whatever he is wearing, action figures of Hulk Hogan have long since been among the most popular figures in the WWE Wresting brand.
Bret the “Hit Man” Hart is another popular figure in the WWE Wrestling brand. In his original conception in the 1980s, his action figure was clad in pink skin-tight pants and giant black boots which were perfect for stomping on anyone who dared to cross him. This depiction of the Hit Man has been a longstanding favourite with diehard fans of the brand.
The WWE Wrestling brand offers something for each of its fans, whether you are a follower of the classics or the new stars. The collectible figures are sure to appeal to children and adults alike.
