About This Figure
John Cena from Mattel's WWE Basic line (Modern Era).
Mattel's entry-level WWE line — fewer accessories but the same face-sculpt quality, making it the gateway drug for new collectors who later chase Elites.
Mattel released Cena in 80+ distinct configurations across 15 years — the 2012 Defining Moments and 2023 tribute run anchor the grail tiers, with mid-run chase variants (2016-2019 exclusives) commanding 3-5x retail on secondary; completionist checklists routinely hit 60+ figures.
