Mattel Introduces New WWE Figures with Construction Toys

Mattel's WWE line is their most reliable presence in retail toy aisles, but they've got some new competition in the world of WWE action figures thanks to The Bridge Direct's entry into the construction toys arena with the new WWE Stackdown line and its accompanying minifigures.
Some folks overcompensate when distinguishing between minifigures and action figures. I tend to think of minifigures as nothing more than smaller versions of their bigger action figure brothers, no matter how many building blocks come in the package with them. That's why The Bridge Direct's new WWE figures are of such interest to me, particularly considering their range of articulation, unique appearances, and affordable price-points. Check out all the details and photos of the WWE Stackdown line below.

For the first time ever, the electrifying WWE Universe is coming to the Construction Toy aisle!
The Bridge Direct’s new construction toys based on the sports entertainment brand offer young fans an exciting and engaging way to connect with WWE’s action-packed events and captivating Superstars. Now kids can build, brawl, destroy and rebuild the entire WWE StackDown Universe! Each WWE StackDown figure has an innovative snap fit design, so they can brawl and pose with the most dynamic action. For Ages 6+
The WWE Universe is part of The Bridge Direct’s new C3 Construction brand that lets kids
“Create, Construct, and Customize” with unique and innovative play features.
