Welcome to the WFT: Mattel WWE board!
This is the place to be if you want to discuss all of the latest Mattel WWE figures.
But before you do, please keep in mind the following rules:
- No spamming - Post counts are meaningless anyway, so don’t bother with nothing posts, quoting someone else as a response with no text, or one-word replies (unless you’re directly answering someone’s "Yes or No" question). Actually put in the effort and contribute to conversations here. Keep it on topic.
- No fighting - Be the bigger person and walk away if you find yourself involved in a potentially-heated discussion; you’re not likely to change each other’s opinions, so agree to disagree and go on about your way. If you feel the need, make use of the block and report functions that are available to all users.
View someone's profile -> Click the icon/drop-down menu on the right side of your screen -> Click Block Member -> Check off all the necessary boxes -> Click Block Member to submit.
~To report someone (on desktop): Look to the right of someone's post -> Click the icon/drop-down menu on the right side of your screen -> Click Report Post -> Provide Reason -> Click Report Post to submit your report.
- No trolling - Don’t even think about baiting someone into an argument or arguing for the sake of it; you know what you’re doing, and more importantly we know what you’re doing, so cut it out. It shouldn't have to come to this, but a zero-tolerance policy must be enforced to rid this board of troublemakers.
- No bashing, insulting, belittling or berating fellow board members - This is self-explanatory.[/li][li]No inappropriate posts - This includes sexually-explicit content and all forms of media with curse words not detected by the board’s censors.
- No advertising or promoting one’s business interests without the consent of Ringside Collectibles - Do not post links to other online retailers here. Ringside Collectibles owns this forum, therefore, use common sense when it comes to these things. No posting links to active eBay auctions either. Information pertaining to eBay and all other online retailer discount codes besides RSC are not permitted here.
- No Classifieds talk outside of the Classifieds board - No advertising your haves and wants here. There is a place for that. All users, with the exception of noted Bad Traders, will have access to the Classifieds section upon reaching 50 non-spam posts. We encourage all sales/trades to be done in Classifieds as opposed to users dealing exclusively through PMs (Private Messages) because at least then we can monitor the activity in an official capacity and step in should something go wrong.
- No posts or discussions surrounding non-Mattel WWE figure lines - This includes Jazwares/Wicked Cool AEW, Jakks Pacific, and all Other Brands.
- No posting fake figure news or fake Mattel WWE figure lineups - Jay summed it up best.
Anyone thinking of posting fake news, fake lineups, fake whatever, don't do it. We will not tolerate that nonsense here. This IS the warning so what comes after a warning? hmmm oh yeah, a ban. And I am not faking. One already got the Ax for doing it.
Thanks!

- No discussing or promoting social media accounts that encourage theft from the Mattel factories - This includes posting images or links to images of so-called "pre-release" (a.k.a. stolen or illegally-obtained) figures.
They are selling STOLEN merchandise! These sellers are not legitimate. They are selling merchandise stolen from Mattel's factory in China. Do not be surprised when your order does not show up or takes months to be delivered.
If you appreciate the work, quality, and detail Mattel puts into their figures then you would not support the theft of their work and theft from WWE and the superstar. If you are a fan of Kofi for example, by purchasing his figure from a legitimate retailer, you are directly supporting him. By purchasing his figure from these illegal sellers, you are supporting thieves.
Anyone discussing, promoting, posting links, or anything pertaining to these stolen goods will be banned and deleted on the spot. The WF forums will not be a party to help these thieves nor a party to any illegal activities.
JS
Please take note, various websites and eBay sellers have been selling stolen, illegally obtained, or fake Mattel figures advertised as official products and illegal WWE Logo figure t-shirts and WWE Logo figure clothing. Mattel has asked that we not allow the promotion or discussion of a website that sells stolen items on this forum.
Also, we don't know 100% if these are from these websites, they might not be, but many people who have done business them have been receiving spam/scam e-mails trying to trick you into entering your personal information on a spam website. The latest scam e-mail has the subject "Book Your FREE Set of WWE Mattel Elite Series 16 Figures Now" with a link to a spam website asking for personal information.
I would advise everyone to avoid a website located in a foreign country that sells stolen/fake/or illegally obtained Mattel products, violates WWE's trademarks by producing products with WWE logos for sale to members of this forum, has no phone number, and no address.
If you appreciate the work, quality, and detail Mattel puts into their figures then you would not support the theft of their work and theft from WWE and the superstar. If you are a fan of CM Punk for example, by purchasing his figure from a legitimate retailer, you are directly supporting him. By purchasing his figure from these illegal sellers, you are supporting thieves.
Anyone discussing, promoting, posting links, or anything pertaining to these stolen goods will be banned and deleted on the spot. The WF forums will not be a party to help these thieves nor a party to any illegal activities.
- No posting of other people’s content, or any original content for that matter, without providing proof - If you're going to post about a new finding/purchase here, make sure that you include photos of the item (embedded social media posts count), identify where or whom you got the item from, and consider sharing a receipt as evidence that it was found in stores. Don’t just assume that others know what you’re talking about without any elaboration.
- No new threads for every question that comes to mind or for every time you purchase a new figure - Combine your posts wherever possible and give others a chance at being featured on the first page. Also, be sure to type as clear and as logical as you can so as not to confuse your fellow board members.
- Notice about inactive threads - If it's been more than six months since anyone posted in your or someone else's thread on the Mattel board, it will be locked to prevent users from needlessly bumping older threads. If you have a justifiable reason for wanting an older thread unlocked (even if it's not your own), please send a message and your request will be considered.
- Newcomer/Return/Attire Change Fig Discussion SPOILERS AHEAD - This is where you can discuss a WWE Superstar’s recent debut, return, change of attire, or whatever is going on in WWE as long as it’s figure-related. Beware, there are spoilers ahead.
- Official Pic Request Thread - This is where you can request photos of any Mattel WWE product and the community will do its best to service you.
- Official Fix-Up Thread - This is the most enduring thread in all of the Mattel board. Feel free to share your Mattel-inspired creations in this one-of-a-kind thread featuring some of WF's most talented customizers.
- Mattel WWE Checklist (Updated 9/27/17) - This is where a checklist of all Mattel figures made (up to September of '17) will be showcased atop the board.
- Mattel Suggestion Box - This is where you can suggest figures for Mattel to make. Share your wish lists, polls, photo references of event-specific attires, recommendations to improve Mattel's products and distribution methods etc.
- ****************** FIGURE FINDINGS NOTE ******************** -
Posting Figure Findings in the Mattel or Jakks forums is off topic.
In addition, there's an Official 'I Just Bought/Good Deal?' Thread on this board...
Findings posted in this board will be deleted and you will be warned.
JS
- *Official Online Findings* - Feel free to post what figures you find at online retailers such as Amazon, Walmart, Target, GameStop, Walgreens etc. However, no links allowed. Posting of links will be deleted and could result in being banned.
- Figure Findings Lounge - Share what you bought, your stories, or ask questions about recent figure findings. Keep all chatter in this thread to ensure the Official Online Findings thread doesn't get clogged.
- HOW TO REPORT PMs: PLEASE READ - What to do if you feel that you are being harassed via a private message (PM) on this forum.
- A Beginners Guide to Posting Photos! - What to do if you would like to know how to post photos on this forum.
Whatever photo it is you want to post, you need it on an image hosting website. Imgur is usually the way to go, but TinyPic works too. Don't bother with Photobucket.
STEP 2:
Once you have the photo uploaded to either image hosting site, copy the link to the image (not the site!) and make sure that it ends with a file format (.jpg - .png - .img - .gif)
STEP 3 (DESKTOP):
Click the button with the little photo of a beach on it when you go into "create a post" and it will give you an option to post a link. Paste your photo link in there and hit "insert image" and there you go! The photo should now be a part of your post and appear on your screen!
STEP 3 (MOBILE):
Go into "create a post" and type out the following (without spaces!)
[ img ] PASTE YOUR IMAGE LINK HERE [ / img ]
Once that is done and you tap "post reply" your photo should appear!

I have been amazed by all the posts lately from people shocked that they are being screwed by these Chinese and overseas based prototype sellers.
They are selling STOLEN merchandise! These sellers are not legitimate. They are selling merchandise stolen from Mattel's factory in China. Do not be surprised when your order does not show up or takes months to be delivered.
If you appreciate the work, quality, and detail Mattel puts into their figures then you would not support the theft of their work and theft from WWE and the superstar. If you are a fan of Kofi for example, by purchasing his figure from a legitimate retailer, you are directly supporting him. By purchasing his figure from these illegal sellers, you are supporting thieves.
And I might add...
Anyone discussing, promoting, posting links, or anything pertaining to these stolen goods will be banned and deleted on the spot. The WF forums will not be a party to help these thieves nor a party to any illegal activities.
