Action figures based on wrestlers and personalities of WWE
(Learn how and when to remove this template message)

WWE action figures are poseable action figures based on wrestlers and personalities of WWE.[1][2] They are currently manufactured by Mattel and have formerly been manufactured by LJN, Jakks Pacific and Hasbro.[3]

Hasbro

Hasbro began producing the company's action figures in 1990.[4] The toys were manufactured from plastic and although not fully articulated, had various spring-loaded action features such as punches and clotheslines, although they were not unique to each figure.

Jakks Pacific

Production of WWF/E toys by Jakks Pacific began in 1996, and ended in December 2009.[5] Jakks started with the "Superstars" line with mostly popular WWE personnel at that time.[citation needed]

Mattel

Mattel took over production of WWE action figures. The new line-up was introduced on January 1, 2010 on wwe.com.[5] The line included the "Basic" line, similar to the Jakks Pacific "Ruthless Aggression" line. [citation needed]
