Toy Exclusive: WWE's New Build-A-Bod!

Plus: Santino talks toys. Mamma Mia...it's mini-me!

By: Luke Y. Thompson

While WWE's SummerSlam took pay-per-view by storm this weekend, the real main event was sequestered in a secret location. (Okay. It was a nice suite at a nearby hotel. But there were only a few choice toymeisters on the invite list with GCD, so we felt all clandestine.) There, Mattel unveiled their latest Legends action figure line: Andre the Giant, Tully Blanchard, Arn Anderson, King Kong Bundy, DDP and the queen of our turnbuckle dreams, Miss Elizabeth.

While there, GCD got some exclusive toy tidbits. Can we ever expect a sculpt of Rey Mysterio as The Joker? Sadly, it's not in the cards. But there will be a brand new feature for this line soon. Look for at least one Build-A-Figure in 2012. We asked our ring-side insiders who the first might be. The only hints we could glean were that it might be someone who wouldn't normally be considered figure fodder. The possibilities swirl; isn't it time for Isaac Yankem, DDS to take his place in the plastic pantheon? C'mon, WWE. Fill us in.

Want to learn firsthand what life is like as a toy? After our sneak-peek at the goods, GCD got to spend some time with a WWE superstar. Hit our exclusive Santino Marella interview, where the pugilistic paisano dropped some knowledge (but thankfully no elbows) on us. And stay tuned to GeekChicDaily for a special premium WWE giveaway from Mattel later this month. Son-a-ma-gun!
