WWE Jakks Classic Superstars 2-Pack Undertaker & Paul Bearer

The first Classic Superstars 2-packs that feature the Undertaker and it perfectly represents his Survivor Series 1991 look. Complete with WWE Championship and urn, along with Paul Bearer this is a solid 2-pack. Unfortunately, the only thing that take away from this set is that Paul Bearer suffers from Jakks' Giant Disease that was common with managers and suited figures. He towers over the Undertaker figure so much that his knees had to bent in order to fit inside the package. Oh well, it is still a great item for display!

WWE Jakks Classic Superstars 3-Packs Series 3 & Series 7 - The 3 Faces of Undertaker & The Family of Destruction (Walmart Exclusives)

Here we have the 2 Classic Superstars 3-Packs that Undertaker was included in. I'm lucky enough to have them both in my collection and it's truly night and day. I love the 3 Faces of Undertaker set, but Jakks missed the mark on the Family of Destruction set by a mile. I have fond memories of picking up the 3 Faces set, they knocked it out of the park with the accessories, attires and scans. It's a shame that they didn't correct Kane's mask, Paul's height or give Taker a different, non TTL scan.



 

WWE Mattel FlexForce Red Card Series - Regular, Commemorative Belt (TRU Exclusive) & Deluxe Set

Dating back to the Hasbro's, I always like figures with action features. Mattel put forth their spin on that with the Flexforce line and Undertaker was released in Series 1 with Fist Poundin' action. Along with this release, there was also a Toys R Us exclusive that came with an oversized Commemorative Belt. Then, a Deluxe set was released with a breakable speaker and tower that added to the fun. It's good to see these type of figures return with the Wrekkin' line, but I just wish the packaging was more collector friendly.




 

Playmates Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles WWE Ninja Superstars Series 1 Donatello as Undertaker

Like the Mattel Ghostbusters Elite set that came afterwards, this TMNT crossover set was fun to see in stores. Combining 2 popular fandoms to create something both collectors can buy is always a smart business decision. Included in Series 1 was Donatello as Undertaker complete with the signature hat and trench coat along with a shovel, a scythe and the world heavyweight championship. Great accessory choices and Donatello's purple color scheme and personality fits Taker perfectly.


 

WWE Mattel Basic WrestleMania 33 Heritage Series Undertaker

I've always said I love PPV centered sets and when it comes to WrestleMania, Undertaker should be a definite addition no matter if it's an Elite or a Basic. Depicting his WrestleMania X-7 match against Triple H, it was definitely a figure that should've gotten the Elite treatment.


 

WWE Mattel Basic Elimination Chamber Heritage Series Undertaker

After being burned by flames at the Elimination Chamber 2010, Undertaker continued to fight and defend his championship for 30 minutes before losing due to HBK interference. This Mattel basic depicts that night and shows Taker with his straps down, the only Mattel figure to do so and this is only the second figure to show his BSK tattoo - the other being Jakks' Ruthless Aggression Series 14. Hopefully this type of figure gets the Elite treatment one day!


 

WWE Mattel Basic Survivor Series Heritage Series Undertaker

Depicting his victory at Survivor Series 2009, this Undertaker figure shares the same early headscan Mattel gave all their basic Undertakers until Elite 8/Basic 13. I've always been a fan of PPV centered sets so these are always welcomed additions to my collection. 


 

Bandai S.H. Figuarts WWE Superstar Series Undertaker

Although not your typical action figure, this Undertaker by Bandai apart of S.H. Figuarts Superstar Series was certainly a welcomed addition. 4 different head scans made it possible to display this Undertaker in any pose possible - from raising the lights to doing his signature Shakespeare pose - it was all possible here. It would've been great to have a coat to go along with the hat, but it's still a fun figure!

WWE Nano Metalfigs Undertaker W12 & 20 Piece Boxset (Toys R Us Exclusive)

These mini metal figures are interesting pieces of merchandise, everything from Harry Potter to Batman were made so it was fun to see mini WWE wrestlers, especially when it comes to Undertaker. It was hard finding a well painted face since these are so tiny and metal, but eventually I found a good one. The large pack was more difficult to find good paint apps, but glad to have these in my collection!



 

WWF 1998 Merch Stand/ShopZone Exclusive Undertaker Stovepipe Hat

This interesting piece of merchandise was too good to pass up! When I started getting back into collecting items for my Undertaker collection, I always wanted fun ShopZone and merch stand items since they are nostalgic and I was too young to collect these when they were first released. So when this piece came up for sale, I knew I needed it for my collection - it's so absurd and large that it's perfect! If anything screams 90s Attitude Era, it's definitely Undertaker on a Stovepipe hat!
