WWE Legends action figures (Mattel)
At the Toyfair 2010 in New York City, Mattel revealed the WWE Legends action figure line.[1] The figures are elite style and some also come with accessories. Series 1 arrived at stores in July 2010 with Series 2 right around the corner to be hitting the shelves in August 2010. Series 3, 4, 5 and 6 were announced at the 2010 San Diego ComicCon and followed in tow, being released to stores in September 2010, October 2010, November 2010 and December 2010 respectively.[2]
There was much hype surrounding the line from collectors, most notably for WWE legend Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat, who had not had a WWE (WWF) figure released of himself since his WWF Hasbro figure in 1992.
On May 11, 2020, Mattel, via Major Wrestling Podcast, revealed that Sting would not be a part of the seventh edition of WWE Legends action figures, despite pre-orders which were previously made by Target;[3][4][5][6] the next day, it was revealed that the Sting WWE Legends action figure was pulled because he was no longer under contract with the WWE.[7][8][9]
