One of the ways in which WWE connects with its audience is by creating products that fans, and in particular kids, can take home with them to celebrate being a fan of WWE or of particular WWE stars.

Whether it’s t-shirts or posters to demonstrate a fan’s allegiance to his or her favorite stars, video games to feel as though we’re actually participating in the action via the characters we control on screen, or replica championship belts, there’s something for everyone.

WWE does a particularly compelling job of making toys, which can help kids not only tap into their fanhood, but let their imaginations run wild and have fun without turning on a TV screen or attending a live event. With the holiday season upon us, there are quite a few noteworthy toys available for purchase today from WWEShop.com for the young wrestling fan in your life. This article takes a look at five of the best WWE toys that you can buy right now.

For kids who don’t only want to play out the matches they see on screen, but also let their imaginations wander to what it’s like behind the scenes as their favorite Superstars get ready to go come to the ring, the Ultimate Entrance Playset offers a unique combination of materials.

The set includes a backstage lounge area where their action figures can get ready. From there the set transitions to the full WWE entrance stage. The set comes with decorative stickers, too, to so kids can customize the entrance ramp as they see fit.

The backstage set up includes a mirror for stars to get ready, more like what would traditionally come with Barbie style dolls, bridging the stereotypes of what makes up boy and girl toys. Moreover, this set is a perfect complement to extend the playset pieces kids might already have like the ring, railing, or even entrance ramp.

From popular videos, a mouth guard game became a successful Kickstarter project and now has its own WWE version. The core game involves drawing cards to try to communicate popular phrases and moments through the mouth guard. This WWE version centers on legendary WWE matches, moments, and catchphrases.

The game is marketed for players eight years old and up, making it a good choice for kids who might be ageing out of action figures and looking for a more interactive toy to play with friends or siblings. The game is designed for three to ten players and comes with a set of ten mouth guards that are dishwasher safe for sanitary purposes. It also comes with a set of two hundred phrase and action cards that are enough to help keep gameplay fresh rather than growing redundant for kids who will want to play over and over again.

3. Finn Bàlor "Demon King" Entrance Greats Mattel Action Figure

Finn Balor is one of the most popular stars in WWE today and with good reason. Not only is he athletically talented and a good talker with a winning personality, but he also has his signature Demon King alter ego and entrance to fall back on as an entirely different dimension of his personality to break out for big-time matches and events.

The Demon King character may be too scary for the littlest WWE fans, but after that point, it’s exactly the kind of oddball character with a distinctive look who can most readily capture young fans’ imagination.

This variation on the figure represents his alternative persona and it comes complete with a podium that can play thirty seconds of his entrance music to more fully imagine the entrance. This figure is a particularly fun complement for collectors who already have a regular Balor figure to play with and can exchange the two to play out different scenarios leading up to an imagined major event.

2. "Milk-O-Mania" Epic Moments 3-Pack Mattel Action Figure Set

One of the trickier parts for a grown wrestling fan trying to share his or her passion for pro wrestling with their kids is bridging the gap between today’s stars and storylines with the history of the wrestling business, and reconciling why they should appreciate legends who show up in a different role or only on a part-time basis these days.

A prime example comes up with Kurt Angle who most recently played a general manager on Raw and a likeable enough character, but one whom it’s hard to appreciate without the context of how great he once was in the ring and on the mic as a full-time talent for WWE.

This Milk-O-Mania playset invites older fans to turn on the WWE Network and revisit one of Angle’s all-time best moments opposite Steve Austin and The Alliance back in 2001. The toy lets kids play out variations on this scene for themselves, in this offbeat piece of wrestling history.

1. Dean Ambrose & Seth Rollins Series 55 Mattel Action Figure 2-Pack

One of the hard parts of kids being fans of WWE is that the roster of their favorite stars can be a revolving door. For every John Cena who stays on top and stays a face for over a decade, there is any number of guys who come and go within a few years’ time, or who turn often like The Big Show or Kane and thus might fall in and out of a young fan’s favor.

Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins have been on the main roster since late 2012 and don’t show any signs of going anywhere. Since their heavily pushed beginnings as part of The Shield with Roman Reigns, both men have gone on to distinguished singles careers that included world title reigns of their own. This two pack of figures is a good one to invest in for as long as kids are likely to be playing with these kinds of toys.

Better yet, they have intertwined career paths and are the front end of a new feud, inviting fans to be excited about getting their hands on this two pack.
