Watch the FULL Mattel WWE Panel from SDCC!…
Jonathan Piontkowski reporting from the Mattel WWE Panel at San Diego Comic Con 2015! It was the most InZayn SDCC Mattel panel ever! Checkout our FULL Panel video below!
The panel begins with WWE's Global Toy Director Mike Wilde introducing NXT General Manager William Regal. At the beginning Mattel played a video from Seth Rollins apologizing that he couldn't make it to San Diego. The superstars on the panel consisted of NXT Champion Kevin Owens, Finn Bálor, Sami Zayne, & Charlotte Flair. Mattel representatives on the panel included Bill Miekina and Elisa George.
Elisa and Bill debuted many new Mattel WWE Figure prototypes of figures coming out later this year and in 2016 including Charlotte, Finn Bálor, Tyson Kidd, Xavier Woods, Hideo Itami, The Bella Twins, Dean Ambrose, Macho Man Randy Savage, Bayley, Sheamus, Dean Malenko, Stephanie McMahon, and more!
William Regal asked the panel to share their history with action figures & what it means to have a WWE Figure made in their likeness. Zayn said that he played with action figures until he was 19 and even continued once he became a wrestler. He says that it helps him come up with new moves. Charlotte calls getting her first action figure a "pinch me moment."
William Regal also revealed to the world at the panel that Finn Bálor would challenge Kevin Owens for the NXT Championship at NXT Takeover Brooklyn next month!
