Bayley is another WWE superstar that appears to be ready-made for action figure form. With her signature side ponytail and fringed-out attire, the WWE Network Spotlight Bayley action figure is sure to be one of the most popular of the entire line.
The Toys 'R Us exclusive series began in 2016 with some WWE legends in classic, old-school attire. First was The Big Boss Man (a re-release of his Elite 15 action figure with minor changes) in January, second was Hunter Hearst Helmsley of Greenwich blue blood likeness in March, next was The Heartbreak Kid from SummerSlam '95 (complete with orange ladder) in May, and most recently was The Ringmaster and the Million Dollar Championship.
For consumers in the United States, these figures have not been hard do come by for the most part and that makes collectors even more excited for this Bayley action figure, modeled directly from 2015's NXT Takeover: Brooklyn match against Sasha Banks. The match won the NXT Universe's Match Of The Year award and if WWE and NXT had awards for Mattel's action figures, this Bayley version would certainly be a candidate for most anticipated figure of the year.
What's even better? This figure was revealed at Comic Con already in the package which typically means a release is right around the corner. Based on the 2016 schedule of the WWE Network Spotlight line, it's safe to expect this bad girl to hit shelves come September.
