So why aren't they real legos? Probably a few reasons; 1. Not a lot you can do with regular mini figs, consider most people would want to "wrestle" them. Lego would either have to create entirely new figures (or perhaps bring back either Fabuland or Technic figures) or prohibit what you would want to do with them. 2. As you can see, a lot of the figures have "environments" that aren't wrestling based. In all honesty, outside of the ring and such, it would mostly just be wrestling figures and not a lot of actual building taking place. 3. This ties into the last thing. Lego would probably pass on the idea, since as I just mentioned, there isn't a lot you can truly build. I wouldn't care about building Dolph's 80s hangout. What does that have to do with wrestling? If I'm a kid who likes WWE...what scenario would I play this up as? I guess I could get super creative...but if I'm already super creative, then I already made Lego wrestlers without needing to buy these sets. 4. WWE probably saved a bunch of money on going with some company who doesn't really mind ripping off other ideas and sticking them together. I won't deny that the Kubricks work well with the scale, but I doubt Lego would ever stoop to doing what this company did in just ripping it off. |

Is it me or does Brodus almost look like he's got a Yaranaika face?  |

Stephanie McMahon Tweeted pics of some other sets:  Sin Cara has apparently gone postal. He also may be disguised as a refrigerator for some reason. |

They gave Sin Cara some of these to help promote them, but he ended up choking on them.

Lego Sandow has more personality than the now aggressive Del Rio Lite that's on TV these days.

What in the hell is the point of these?
I get Lego Star Wars. Star Wars has all kinds of fantastic space ships and sets to build. I get Indiana Jones, because building ancient temples and crypts with death traps in Lego is fun (anybody remember the Lego adventures line that came with the audioplay cassette tapes?). Even with Lego Harry Potter there's at least a cool castle with some dungeons, but these new Lego sets make no goddamn sense to me. I'm always picturing a kid who just wants some Avengers or wrestling action figures and all they get is a bunch of minifigs with a cheap 6 block background set. Y-yeah grandma, this is totally what I wanted, thanks!!

He has the looks of Andre the Giant, and the strength of Barry Windham. Not to mention he's a hero to a few armadillos, a kangaroo and a small herd of bison.

I feel like these would have worked better in the 80's-early 90's, with some of the wacky characters they were coming up with back then.

Wonder if we'll get a Lego WWE video game now?

They gave Sin Cara some of these to help promote them, but he ended up stepping on them. Fixed. He was then out for two months... admittedly that shit does hurt. |

I was thinking the same thing... Also I think Dolph could pull of a Miami Vice gimmick... and I'm not entirely sure what that would entail  Dolph and Big E in various crime-fighting adventures. New boom period! Girlfriend even created a storyline on the fly. "It would entail Zeb Colter and HHH conspiring to accuse Del Rio of smuggling knockoff merchandise across the border and Dolph & Big E are brought in to deal with it. The whole plan falls flat on its back when the only person in the US that the Mexican knockoffs fit is Sin Cara, who at this point is too busy choking on WWE themed 'Lego' to buy the merchandise. HHH then proceeds to unceremoniously fire Sin Cara because CARELESSNESS, and next week the show starts with everyone wanting to know what happened, but no because Randy Orton because why not? Yolo". |
