WWE ELITE SERIES 17 ZACK RYDER


Now this anniversary comes to an end with possibly my favorite Mattel WWE figure ever made. When they revealed this at SDCC, I flipped out. Zack is my second-favorite superstar in the WWE, after The Miz. This is probably going to be my most in-depth review yet. He comes in the two-series newly designed elite packaging. Zack is posed on the cover striking a "call me" pose and smiling. It says at the top of the box, includes Internet Championship, sunglasses, and for some reason, it calls the headband a bandana. 


It says on the back that he has held the U.S championship, and the WWE Tag team Titles. It shows the other people in the series and above that is a story, I think it's about Z! True Long Island Story or something like that. 


His headband is silver and has "WWWYKI" a.k.a Woo Woo Woo, You know it, on it in orange letters, outlined in purple. It fits around his head pretty well.


This is his face. His has a brand-new head-scan. He has blondish hair, black eyebrows and is smiling. His also has five o'clock shadow. His eyes are brown.


Here's a weird detail. On his five o'clock shadow, there are little molded bumps on his chin, to add the the beard effect.


His glasses are orange and have black lenses that connect. The glasses fit very well and don't look awkward like with we've seen with Mattel in the past.


His trunks are the best part about this figure. They're silver and have FOUR DIFFERENT designs on them. On the front, there's the "Broski" symbol. With a headband outlined in purple, and orange sunglasses.


This side of his trunks has a bar code. It's a reference to his show, and the fact that he is so internet famous. It's outlined in orange.


On this side, it has the "ZR" symbol. It's orange with a purple and black outline.


On the back of his trunks, it says, "Are you serious bro?" One of Zack's quotes. It's orange with a purple and black outline.


Now onto his legs. On the side of his boots, there's another "ZR" logo but this time it's purple and has a silver outline.


His boots are black with purple insides. Very good detail on the boots.


His knee-pads are silver with the "ZR" logo. The logo is orange with purple and black outlines. They're the large knee-pads.


His arms are the normal arms and they have small elbow-pads and medium sized white wrist tape.


Now onto what I assume most people bought this for. The Internet Championship! They went all-out on the belt. It has the Zack Ryder Broski symbol on the middle. On it's headband, it says "internet" and underneath, it says "champion". The sunglasses are orange and the headband is orange. The hair is brown. The mini-plates are very basic, they don't have the logos, but I don't really mind that. In the background of the main plate, there are little "ZR" symbols.


My Opinion: AMAZING!
Accuracy: Very accurate, the only accurate elite Zack Ryder Figure, the definitive Zack Ryder figure.
Collector Appeal: People will definitely want this. Even if they just want the title.

Alright guys, that's it for today. I really enjoyed this past year of doing reviews!
