MUMBAI: Toy maker Mattel has partnered with World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) to launch the WWE Action Figure range in India with a special event at Hamleys, the new toy destination at High Street Phoenix, Lower Parel.

Innovative FlexForce Figures: These figures are also available with a feature called FlexForceTM that enables them to deliver hook throwin’, flip-kickin’ moves. The figures are called the new FlexForce Action Figures.

WWE superstars such as John Cena, CM Punk and Rey Mysterio all form part of the superstar line-up from Mattel. The range which spans over 20 different characters in India also includes The Great Khali figure.

Besides action figures in single packs, the range, available at stores throughout India, includes product lines like WWE Action Figure Two Packs, WWE Championship Belts and WWE Breakdown Brawl Ring.
