Grade The Festival Of Ringside!!

[Ministry of Darkness]

Crap. No new MNW figures were shown and no new 1st time in the line legends were shown.

[The Assassin]

I'm not normally this harsh but I have to give it an F because of the complete lack of "First Time" or "Deep Dive" Legends. Really disappointed. There are literally hundreds of talents and classic characters to draw upon here, across 30+ years of mainstream wrestling history, the well is far from dry and you can't tell me none of these guys wanna make some merchandise money and/or celebrate their career with a figure. I know Mattel doesn't approach/sign people themselves but they have regular input and discussions with WWE, and both parties need to do more to improve this issue.

I want as many punks and Cody’s as possible

the MNW line is exclusive to Walmart so unfortunately Ringside doesn't get to reveal them for their events. Would have been nice to get a new legend in the line but ringside mostly seems to deal in active talent. Id imagine we'll see Ventura and maybe some other first timers early next year considering Mattel Creations has that event in March

[Deep Figure Value]

It was an A, but then I saw the title of this thread, so now it's an F.

But actually it's an A because I get to live in a world where I can get that ECW Heyman, and Elites of the Guerillas of Destiny. What a time to be alive.

Absolutely horrible there wasn’t even an ultimate Tatanka

[triplehpotter7]

A.

No fear. No expectations. I'm thankful for everything they showed us.

We could've quite well been given nothing.

seeing the top picks stone cold figure was a nice treat i was praying that they werent gonna re-release the OMR wrestlemaina Steve austin again and this is cool, it got me to pre-order one finally.

i guess same with the logan paul figure, i mean im not gonna trip over myself to get it but it does look good and at some point id like to have it in the collection.

top picks pink looks amazing. even with the all black gear--i love that. the double jointed arms look great for the xrossed arms pose and looks decent for the GTS pose. headsculpt looks great too, i have had a pre order locked in but it made me more hype for that figure.

Return AJ in the black pants--frankly i did like this look from AJ and theyre giving us softgoods coat too so definitely a scoop

Jade Cargill---most defintely a scoop. im a huge Jade fan and its an instant buy from me regardless. i feel like mattel knows how much of a big deal she is to wwe and the audience so theyre gonna do this figure right.

new Rhea Ripley--i havent been buying her judgement day figures but i think im gonna get this one that face makeup looks awesome

Axiom- just an all around great looking figure-definitely a scoop.

dont care about bloodline at all. 🤷‍♂️

Bron Breakker--im a pretty big Bron fan, i dig all of his gear and i think that ill be grabbing all of his figures

cody rhodes in suit with wwwf championship just looks classy and clean

shawn michaels from Summerslam 2002 is a LEGENDARY release from mattel. im hype level 3000 for this figure and i hope mattel made enough of these to go around.

Triple H from 2002 aswell super rad offering as well, ive been wanting some more classic trips figures so this is a nice treat--especially to pair with shawn.

BAF regal is also something i really REALLY want. i do kinda wish the the short hair DIDNT have the black eye but its sweet to get the nXt regal aswell

Ultimate Final Boss Rock is a MUST HAVE as well. it looks great. softgoods and Peoples Championship belt looks rad as hell

Ultimate MUta is another LEGENDARY offering from mattel. the figure looks absolutely amazing i cant compliment it enough im SO excited i LOVE muta.
MUTAAAAAAAAAAAA

RAW ring----im probably gonna cave and buy one just so i have all the eras covered as far as photography is concerned.

Ultimate Punk--im foaming at the mouth to get my pre-order shipped out im hype level 90000 for this figure.

from the vault warrior and hall--ill probably end up pre-ordering them now that ive seen shots i mean i knew what to expect but seeing them i guess ill get them.

not super thrilled with the next from the vault releases. hornswoggle is a pass, boogey may be a pass, debut cena is a scoop, i want the smackdown John Cone figure to be the standard figure because its freaking intellectually- disabled to release him separately after forcing us all to buy the Summerslam BAF wave. Cactus Jack is a scoop i love me some cactus, RVD is an ABSOLUTE scoop from me, RSE hall and nash are another scoop from me, i already have the nash but the updates are rad and i NEEEEEDD that hall in the white drip.

DM kurt is another must have scoop, i really like the concept and idea for this figure. i wish/hope they include a clean bad head aswell as the messy head with the shaving cream.

DM Heyman is another must have i see that one going on triple double backorder is an amazing figure we all want and need.

[Next Manufactured’s Sweater]

F. There was no Ultimate Edition two-pack of Ted Arcidi singlet and Ted Arcidi tight shorts. The purpose of this line is to produce nothing outside of the obscure old nonsense that I like, and Mattel has failed at that. They are trying to run wrestling toys like a business when they should be running it like a bizarre outreach charity for middle-aged shut-ins like me. Therefore, their WWE license is clearly on borrowed time, and hopefully the next company will have the common decency and business sense to build the WWE toy line around the likes of Doug Furnas, Gunner Scott, Body Donna Zip and Corporal Kirchner.
