Toy Fair 2019: TOMY Wrestles With the WWE

Seems like this will be the year of shifting licenses! It's funny...you expect things to be a certain way from year to year to the point where the news becomes a little stale. Then one year, McFarlane gets to make DC action figures, Hasbro takes over Power Rangers, Super 7 is driving the reins on Masters of the Universe and everything that was old is new again! Sometimes it takes a new perspective from a different crew to breathe new life into a property. Now TOMY steps up to see if they can make something extremely fun with a WWE license...

The main line is called WWE Smash Brawlers and from what I can see, we'll be getting stylized figures of your favorite wrestlers you can plug into Rock em' Sock em' Robot-style controllers allowing you to take the battle with you anywhere you like. It's so simple it's genius!

The line kicks off with single packs including Dean Ambrose, Kevin Owens, Bobby Lashley, Finn Balor, Seth Rollins and The Rock.

TOMY also lends their highly appealing stylized look to plush dolls called Blitz Brawlers, which utilize a unique and highly amusing design allowing the user to put their hands in the wrestler's hands and then..I guess...slap fight? When they put out the classic wrestlers in this style, you are going to see some ridiculous trash talkin' videos. I promise.
