The Elite library, line by line
Sixteen years of Mattel Elite, sub-line by sub-line. Open a line for its history and grails.
849Elite2010-present - 6-inch core741 priced$200–$371
Mattel has run WWE Elite since taking the license from Jakks in 2010, and it is the line that turned WWE figures into an adult-collector standard. The 6-inch Elite spec is the draw: 30-plus points of articulation, an ab-crunch torso, swappable hands and heads, and TrueFX face-scan deco. The long-running numbered mainline series is checklist culture -- collectors chase complete runs. Standard retail figures mostly sell at or near retail; the value concentrates in the exclusives, the early/short-run series, and the occasional prototype (the Jeff Hardy Series 1 prototype is the famous volatile one).
182Elite LegendsElite - classic-era sub-line155 priced$74–$378
Elite Legends is the sub-line that puts the modern Elite treatment on classic-era and retired wrestlers the numbered mainline does not regularly cover. For collectors who came up on the territory and Attitude eras, this is the nostalgia tier, and the harder-to-find legends carry real premiums over the standard releases.
114Ultimate Editionpremium tier - entrance gear97 priced$106–$150
Ultimate Edition is the premium tier above Elite: multiple swappable heads, extra hands, and detailed, posable entrance gear built for display. It sits at the top of Mattel's ladder (Basic/Main Event -> Elite -> Ultimate Edition). Priced and built as deluxe collector pieces, with the marquee characters and the harder waves holding value best.
76Elite Greatest HitsElite - reissue / compilation39 priced$38–$50
Elite Greatest Hits is a compilation/reissue series that re-releases sought-after past Elite figures for collectors who missed them the first time. As a reissue line it mostly tracks retail, with value depending on which specific figure was previously hard to find.
62Elite Monday Night WarElite - Monday Night War theme48 priced$40–$70
Elite Monday Night War is a themed Elite sub-line organized around the late-90s WWF-versus-WCW ratings war -- the era a lot of current collectors grew up on. Themed two-packs and attire-specific releases drive the interest here.
41Elite Royal RumbleElite - Royal Rumble theme27 priced$40–$68
Elite Royal Rumble is the event-themed sub-line tied to the Royal Rumble. Like the other themed Elite runs, value is character- and wave-dependent, with the standouts being the figures collectors actually display in their Rumble setups.
35Defining MomentsElite - iconic-moment deco14 priced$40–$110
Defining Moments recreates a wrestler at a specific iconic career moment, with attire-accurate deco aimed squarely at collectors. It is also home to the line's crown grail: the Ultimate Warrior 'Granite' figure (2014) was never released and reportedly reaches around $20,000 -- a figure that essentially does not exist commanding a price most complete shelves never will.
34Elite From the VaultElite - vault reissues20 priced$35–$59
Elite From the Vault is a reissue line that brings older, sought-after Elite figures back to retail. It exists to relieve the aftermarket pressure on the hardest-to-find past releases, so values here mostly track retail unless a specific figure stays scarce even after the reissue.
23Elite NXT TakeOverElite - NXT brand14 priced$35–$45
Elite NXT TakeOver is the NXT-brand sub-line, covering the developmental roster and call-ups. Collectors who follow NXT chase the early figures of wrestlers before they broke onto the main roster, and a debut-era figure of a future main-event name can run a premium.
16Ultimate Edition Coliseum CollectionUltimate - Coliseum Video theme12 priced$45–$80
The Ultimate Edition Coliseum Collection wraps the premium Ultimate spec in nostalgia for the old Coliseum Video home-tape era -- deluxe figures with retro-themed packaging and entrance gear. A premium-tier display piece aimed at collectors who remember the tapes.
Babyfaces vs. Heels
The biggest grails on each side of the aisle — face and heel. (Alignment shifts with the storyline; we went with the most iconic run.)
Collector questions
What's the difference between WWE Basic, Elite, and Ultimate Edition?
Mattel's tier ladder. Basic (and Main Event) are the budget figures with limited articulation; Elite is the 6-inch collector core -- 30-plus points of articulation, TrueFX deco, swappable hands and heads, and an ab-crunch torso; Ultimate Edition is the premium top tier with multiple swappable heads and posable entrance gear. Knowing this ladder is table stakes among collectors.
When did Mattel take over WWE figures from Jakks?
Mattel took the WWE license from Jakks Pacific in 2010 (Jakks had run WWF/WWE from 1996 to 2009). The first Mattel WWE figures arrived in early 2010 and Elite quickly became the adult-collector standard. Jakks' own Classic Superstars line (2004) is still the revered predecessor that modern lines are judged against.
What is the most valuable WWE Elite figure?
The marquee grail is the Ultimate Warrior 'Granite' figure from the 2014 Defining Moments series -- it was never released, and reported values reach around $20,000. Beyond that, Ringside Collectibles exclusives (CM Punk Straight Edge Society around $132, Bret Hart Pink & Black Attack around $112) and early prototypes like the Jeff Hardy Series 1 prototype are the active secondary-market chases.
Why are Ringside Collectibles exclusives worth more?
Ringside Collectibles is the dominant exclusive retailer and a cultural anchor for the hobby (Ringside Fest is a calendar event). Its exclusives are made in limited numbers and never hit regular retail, so demand outruns supply on the secondary market. Calling Ringside 'a scalper site' is a poser tell -- it's the hobby's main exclusive channel.
What is TrueFX?
TrueFX is Mattel's face-scan-based deco process that gives Elite figures photo-real likenesses. When a scan misses, the result can look a little off -- collectors have turned 'True FX gone wrong' into an affectionate running thread of haunted-looking figures. It's part of the fandom's humor, not a dealbreaker.
The WWE Elite story
Mattel has been producing WWE Elite since 2010 — sixteen years of six-figure waves that now cover 365 distinct wrestlers across 127 series. Before Elite, Jakks Pacific ran the line. Before Jakks, there was LJN, then Hasbro, then a string of smaller manufacturers racing to put plastic wrestlers on pegs during the Attitude Era. The secondary market for all of it exists and is active. But Elite is where the real collector money moves right now, and it is the format that rewards knowing the difference between a series 12 peg-warmer and a series 90 Walgreen-exclusive variant that sold in two markets and three Walgreens locations.
FigurePinner tracks 805 Elite figures, plus 175 Elite Legends releases in a separate sub-line targeting the classic era. What follows is how the pricing structure actually works across both.
