Although it's been known for several months now, Mattel has plans to release a special Toys "R" Us exclusive series commemorating WWE's WrestleMania 26 pay-per-view event. The waves are expected to show up in stores beginning in August.
Here are the lineups and photos showcasing exactly what the wrestlers wore for the biggest show of the year.
Which will you buy?
WrestleMania 26 Basic Series:
Chris Jericho (minus the World Heavyweight title belt)
Christian
Drew McIntyre
Kane
Matt Hardy (minus the removable t-shirt)
Shelton Benjamin (could be replaced now that he's gone)
WrestleMania 26 Basic Series 2-Packs:
John Cena vs. Batista (minus the WWE title belt)
R-Truth and John Morrison
ShowMiz (Big Show and The Miz)
WrestleMania 26 Elite Series:
Jack Swagger (likely to come with entrance robe and WM26 MITB briefcase)
Rey Mysterio (decked out in full Avatar-inspired gear)
Triple H (likely to come with water bottle and maybe Elite 2 t-shirt or sledgehammer)
Undertaker (likely to come with entrance coat and hood)
Credit: WWE.com for all of the photos. An early prediction of mine would be that Swagger and Mysterio are two of Mattel's best efforts, to date.
I know one thing is for sure, I'll buy something to get one of those WrestleMania 26 chairs. Probably the ShowMiz set or the Elite Swagger, but not much interests me here.
Edit: Mattel's Facebook has larger pics, but here is a direct link to a WF thread with them, at least for the time being.
