The official launch date is January 1, but some stores have ignored the street date and WWE product from Mattel has hit the shelves. It’s fitting that for the launch of the line we’ve got a review of the Entrance Greats Triple H.
The pics and review are from Salem Crow. Thanks much!
Being a longtime wrestling fan, I’ve had my grubby hands on just about every style of wrestling figure that’s been produced over the years, and I happened to come across one of the new Mattel WWE figures this week – the Entrance Greats Triple H.
I like the packaging compared to some of the other bland plastic prisons on the shelves right now. The graphics give you the impression of the wrestler entering the arena with fireworks going off behind him, and the back has a nice image of this particular entrance, along with the Rey Mysterio figure out with him. The other feature is the “Try Me” opening on the right side, where you can test the theme music that the included base plays.
You can open the top of the package by slicing the tape on three sides, and then slide the entire tray right out. If you have purchased any Mattel figures recently, you’ll be familiar with the way their figures are secured. Triple H is secured with some clear rubber bands around his legs, and from wrist to wrist, behind the tray. Luckily in this case, there are no extreme poses that warp the limbs like some DC Universe Classics figures.
