7. Basic 55 Bray Wyatt
One thing that must be said about Mattel is that they are not afraid to take chances. The Create-A-Superstar line proves that, but so do some creations from their more grounded Elite and Basic lines. The craziness of the Basic series 55 Bray Wyatt head sculpt makes the Elite 37 Brock Lesnar face look quite tame. Love it or hate it, Mattel took another out-of-the-box concept of this wild-looking Bray Wyatt face and released it in action figure form in an effort to add variety to one of Mattel's most produced characters. The face itself actually resembles Bray, if you can get past the wild and crazy hair that takes up about 80% of the head. Unfortunately, that same hair features a weird parting that more closely resembles Bret "Hitman" Hart rather than the Eater of Worlds. Still, for all the hate this figure has received, Mattel made a bold and risky move for which they should be commended. It didn't save this figure from making the list of most ridiculous WWE figures of the year, but at least Mattel isn't boring and constantly playing it safe.
