ALBERTO DEL RIO
Recent eBay Sales
Alberto Del Rio's Elite 21 sculpt wears the ring gear from SummerSlam, August 19, 2012, when he challenged Sheamus for the World Heavyweight Championship at Staples Center. Sheamus retained the title with an Irish Curse backbreaker for the pin, though replay showed Del Rio's foot draped over the bottom rope before referee Mike Chioda's count reached three, a finish still argued over by fans who caught the missed call live. That's the date Mattel locks this figure's ring gear to, not any other Del Rio outing.

About This Figure
Alberto Del Rio from Mattel's WWE Elite Collection line (Modern Era).
The Elite Collection brought collector-grade articulation to the mainstream WWE line — 30+ points of movement, interchangeable hands, and entrance accessories that quickly made each series a hunt.
Del Rio's two separate WWE Championship reigns and his unique aristocratic Mexican character persona — complete with personal ring announcer Ricardo Rodriguez — gave his Mattel Elite and Basic figures a visual distinctiveness that set them apart; his cross-promotion career in AAA and Lucha Underground provides additional figure sources for completionists, though his WWE catalog remains the most collected.
