The extended agreement includes exclusive rights for action figures, action figure accessories and kids’ toy title belts. Mattel and WWE toys are currently available in more than 50 global markets, and Mattel’s WWE Basic Action Figure Series is the longest-running continuous action figure assortment.

WWE and Mattel have launched other collaborations in the past, including for Ghostbusters and Masters of the Universe.
