These represent some of Jakks finest work on the Classic Superstars line, but they aren’t always on the top of people’s mind when they think of the Classics line. These are The Sleepers. Dibiase was an awesome addition to the line in series 3. He comes with great accessories, and his parts selection is pretty…

Introduction — When Everything Changed When 2010 arrived, WWE figure collectors knew they were stepping into unknown territory. After years of Jakks Pacific dominance, Mattel officially took over the WWE license, bringing with it new engineering, fresh ideas, and a promise to rebuild the line from the ground up. Mattel didn’t start small. Instead, they launched…
It has been an exciting time to be a collector of the WWE Mattel wrestling figures line. With the arrival of San Diego Comic Con, there has been anticipation of new reveals and preorders for upcoming figures. However, this process has been a disaster so far.
