I still have practically all of the Dollar General minis from circa 2012-2013. They were excellent quality, and pretty great looking, with some awesome detail. Pretty sure they had 2 points of articulation, with the head and waist. I know I have Rock, Cena, Taker, Kane, 2 CM Punk variants, Orton, Rey Mysterio, Daniel Bryan, Del Rio, Sheamus, Ryback, and Brodus Clay. Might be forgetting a couple.... I'll try to find them and take some pics. EDIT: Here's my old thread; forum.wrestlingfigs.com/thread/286422/wwe-mattel-dollar-general-figuresLooks like Big Show and the Cena variant are the only ones I never acquired. And sorry if I got off topic, they just reminded me of what you posted. Nah. I’m sure you don’t have Ryback or ziggler. They were nearly impossible to find. People had a hard time getting sin cara too. I'm almost 90% sure I do have Ryback. I'll double check when I get home.(I may have even sold him, who knows) I don't think I was aware of Ziggler or Sin Cara, but it seems familiar looking back, but I'm positive I don't have those.

Are these the same as the ones that used to be at Walmart? Or the ones seen at Five Below? Nah. These look way better than the old dollar tree ones that are now at five below. Hey I remember these from like 2013! I had a Sin Cara. Definitely gonna get Finn Bálor if I see him. Nah. You’re thinking of the dollar general figures that were 3 3/4” tall. These look even smaller than the previous dollar tree ones. I still have practically all of the Dollar General minis from circa 2012-2013.

When I was like 10 years old my parents got me a Star Wars cake from Stop & Shop for my Birthday that had little toys on it like that....damn cake had BLACK ICING so everybody went home looking like they ate the Black Oil from X-Files.

What is the purpose of these? Birthday cake toppers? I mean, you can't PLAY with them..... Sometimes they are labeled as cake toppers, but they work just as well as collectible figurines. I always loved when a figurine line came along, be they die-cast or plastic/PVC and always tried to collect them. Regardless of play value they usually look cool and great to display on shelves or little dioramas and don't take up much room. Plus usually very cheap in the price range and no worries about loose, wobbly parts over time or any accessories to lose. I know they're not as popular or extensive as action figure lines but I've always still been a big fan of them.

Bought these a few days ago. They are indeed made by mattel. New ones for those that like oddball wwe merch.
Do you know if those are the only five in the set? I’ve only managed to find the rock, cena, and Balor so far. I think they’re well worth the buck.

Just cut the base off, file down the residue under the feet and if you're like me and have lots of tiny custom rings, you've got minis to take everywhere. WRESTLEMANIA IN YOUR POCKET lol

I had Mom look into the Salinas Dollar Tree and they didn't have the set and so I might have to check the other Dollar Trees in Salinas to see if they have them in stock Doctorwhofan

I went back to my Dollar Tree yesterday and they had two little overstuffed boxes this time. I picked up all but Balor....Really nice surprise finding these.

I'd be onboard with those coming back but these new one's don't really do it for me.

When I saw it suggested that these could be cake toppers I decided to google wwe cake toppers and saw a bunch on Etsy that looked similar to these but not as good. At first I thought they were the metal nanos. The seller says they’re six centimeters though which would be closer in scale to the old dollar general figures. These are also very recent though as there was a Ronda Rousey. Anyone know anything about them?

If they had them pre-viewed for the toy show displays I don't remember seeing them at all, though I'm sure there are pics somewhere-nor at anything like Target or Walmart. I don't know if they just bypassed and put them right into discount stores or they were actually made for them primarily. With the DC, Marvel, Disney, Simpsons etc. PVC figurines it's the same thing. I only ever saw them sold at Dollar Tree to my knowledge.

I finally got my hands on my first WWE Dollar Tree figure and for my birthday I got the John Cena figure and it looks amazing but however the box doesn't mention Dollar Tree on the packaging but it looks pretty cool Doctorwhofan

Mannnnnn, over the span of a few weeks I convinced my Grandma to buy all of these for me. I had some fun times with those.

www.instagram.com/nosrednayamgrub/p/Bw8RHS9g3oR/?utm_source=ig_share_sheet&igshid=1budow1ae8vtFINALLY!!! The Rock! (And more importantly Styles, Reigns, and Balor) HAVE ARRIVED IN MY POCKETS! 😂😂😂 I’m building a small ring to go with them as we speak. I’ll post it later. I shaved the bases use an exacto knife and cut the piss out of my hand. Like one of those cuts that should get stitches, but I superglued it back and it should be good in a couple days. The figures are quite rubbery and I am so ready to go back and buy ALL THE FINNS so I can do custom paint jobs of demon Finn.
