6. Mattel WWE Series 12 – Alberto Del Rio

His name is Alberto Del Rio, and by the time his Mattel WWE Series 12 wrestling figure came out, fans didn’t just already know it, they couldn’t get enough of it. Being his first Mattel WWE figure and his first action figure ever, this Del Rio was destined for popularity. Fans eager to re-create Del Rio’s already memorable feuds with the likes of Christian and Rey Mysterio searched high and low for an opportunity to get their hands on this figure. Coupled with the fact that Mattel captured the smirk of the man the WWE Universe had grown to love hating a little too well, Alberto Del Rio proved to have one of the year’s most popular figures.
