LJN WWE Superstars Wave 2 Toy Fair 2026 Booth Images
I have to say, even though we are here in New York covering Toy Fair 2026 firsthand, there are still moments where someone else gets the golden ticket, and once again @therockfather came through with a special preview inside Mattel’s booth, this time giving us an early look at the WWE LJN Superstars Wave 2 figures that so many of us have been waiting to see up close; and as someone who grew up in the 1980s glued to Saturday Night’s Main Event, I cannot help but feel that rush of nostalgia seeing names like Jesse The Body Ventura, King Kong Bundy, The Ultimate Warrior, and Stone Cold Steve Austin represented in that classic LJN style format; Wave 1 proved that Mattel understands how to honor the chunky, rubbery aesthetic that made the original LJN line so unforgettable, and now Wave 2 expands the roster with a mix of larger-than-life personalities and era-defining legends, blending Golden Era energy with Attitude Era intensity; Jesse brings that unmistakable look from his in-ring and commentary days, Bundy delivers the powerhouse presence fans remember, Warrior channels that colorful, high-energy persona, and Stone Cold adds a rebellious twist to the retro format, which I absolutely love seeing translated into this throwback style; these figures lean into the bold proportions and simplified articulation that defined the original releases, and it is clear Mattel is committed to keeping that spirit alive while introducing the format to a whole new generation of collectors; if Wave 1 sparked the nostalgia, Wave 2 feels like it is doubling down, and I am genuinely excited to see these hit shelves later this year as the LJN Superstars line continues to grow.
Jesse The Body Ventura
Like no one else can…Jesse Ventura is dressed head to toe in bright pink, wearing a tailored jacket with white heart patterns on the sleeves and a white star on the chest. A matching pink bandana with black accents ties around the head, paired with white sunglasses and a detailed mustache. The layered vest and shirt are sculpted beneath the jacket, and he grips a black microphone in one hand while flexing the other arm, bringing that loud, over the top presence straight to the display.
Ultimate Warrior
The Warrior features long brown hair flowing to the shoulders and bold, multicolored face paint in bright blue, yellow, and red wrapping around the eyes and down the cheeks, which really brings back memories. Matching rainbow wristbands and armbands circle both arms, and orange trunks anchor the look. One fist is raised while the other arm extends outward, and the open mouth sculpt captures that intense shout, with the paint lines cleanly applied and sharply defined across the face. This figure is SO EXPENSIVE on the secondary market and I am so happy they are making him!
Stonecold Steve Austin
The figure is shown with both arms raised high, fists clenched, wearing a black open vest with “AUSTIN” printed vertically down the side in silver lettering. The bald head sculpt features a goatee with painted detail around the chin and upper lip, and the facial expression is set with a focused stare and slightly furrowed brow. Black wristbands circle both wrists, and the torso is left bare beneath the vest, with black trunks completing the classic ring look as he throws his arms up in celebration.
