an argument can be made for every previous year being the best with Mattel WWE figures,but I really think it's gonna be hard to top 2013!
- a huge amount of "First Time in the Line" figures:
Dean Ambrose
Seth Rollins
Roman Reigns
Fandango
Big E. Langston
Kaitlyn
Naomi
Cameron
Tamina Snuka
Ryback
Damian Sandow
Rosa Mendes
Antonio Cesaro
Tensai
- a lot of figures that needed updated releases:
Jack Swagger
Brodus Clay
AJ Lee in shorts and shirt
The Miz
Cody Rhodes
Hornswoggle
Triple H
Chris Jericho
fully-bearded Daniel Bryan
bearded Wade Barrett
- a lot of Flashbacks that we had been asking for:
Miss Elizabeth
1997 Shawn Michaels
2001/Invasion Stone Cold Steve Austin
Cactus Jack
2001 Kane
Christian
Honky Tonk Man
Ultimate Warrior in Singlet
WrestleMania VIII Randy Savage
Purple and Black Undertaker
JBL
DX Triple H
Road Dogg
WCW The Giant
Bruno Sammartino
Trish Stratus
Hasbro-styled Basic Ultimate Warrior
Basic WrestleMania V Macho Man
- and stuff I never expected,like Basic releases of Vince McMahon,Paul Heyman,and Ricardo,as well as a quick release of the new WWE Championship Belt,much-requested Attitude Era WWF and Smoking Skull Belts, and finally the Women's Championship.
... Mattel makes us all mad sometimes,but they really knocked 2013 out of the park! if the line only gets better,2014 will be a thing of beauty!

Was certainly a good year to get back into collecting, although I found myself almost 21 series' behind in terms of Elite.

Let's see.
ABA Taker was considered mattels 2013 and that is one of my favorite figures ever. Also got Jerry lawler in that series's. We also got the first basic Brock and AJ at the time and the lovely Eve.
Then Elite 19 was incredible. We got the badd Blood HBK elite and the WM23 basic. Also got the new Kane in elite and the great 2000 look in basic form. E20 Christian and Jericho were phenomenal.
We then get basic debuts of guys like Sandow, Cesaro, Tensai, and RYBACK. All great figures. B29 Warrior is kne of the basics of the year. So is Eddie for that matter.
We also got battle packs of tag teams like Primo and Epico, and the Prime Time Players. Plus we got a Trent, a Hawkins, Vickie, Much needed updated Jinder. And yet another great Ryback.
E21 Honky and his accessories were mindblowing. First time I've bought 5 figures from one set. (Rybacks first elite!!) B30 Bryan is one of the figures of the year. B31 became a shelfwarmer for the ages but I for one love Rosa. E22 Giant is an elite of the year, and The Rock as well. The fact we got the title so quick is mindblowing.
E23. Wow. Just wow. Got the whole set (minus Cena of course) but definately series of the year. HHH, Taker, Cesaro, MACHO and the debut of the wrestling god. B32 had the amazing Ryback but not much else of mention and Battle Pack 23 Vince is one of my most anticipated figures ever.
We round out mattels year with B33 having the sick debut of Dean Ambrose as well as one of the best diva figures ever produced Tamina. battle packs 24 was amazing rounding out the Sheild with Reigns and Rollins and the eye popping Funkadactyls. Them along with BO2013 Kaitlyn, and the rest of the great divas made this one of the best diva years ever. B34 sucks but I'm still dying for that Ricardo!! Elite 24 had Trish and we finally got the classic Women's Title. The Miz is one of the best mattels ever. And Ryback is sick as always.
I have found E25,B35, and BP25 at retail so far this holiday season. But Mattel dosent count those in their year.
All in all man. Wow 2013 has been my favorite year as a figure collector EVER. And so far. 2014 looks to be EVEN BETTER!!!!

It was a great year for figures. So many new names came out which was great. There weren't that many boring line-ups either. A truly great year and I think 2014 will match it or even top it.

Cue the Frank Sinatra....it was a very good year
But 2014 should be off the hook. Mattel has gotten better every year and will continue to do so. Since 2010, every year has been better than the last.

I just got started on WWE figs earlier this year and the flashbacks and belts from when I started to now literally keep me going. I always find myself telling myself and my wife, "you're not gonna not buy this _________. I mean, look at it!" She thinks I say it too much, I say I'm just getting started.
