Mattel will release a “Three Faces of Foley” WWE Elite action figure set, and WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley reacted to the announcement at the San Diego Comic-Con.
The three-pack was unveiled at the WWE Mattel panel that took place at the convention, and Foley addressed them during the panel. He said,
“I have actively wished for this and hoped for it. I even drew a line in the sand when it came to my Legends Deal. I told my manager, ‘I’m not re-signing another Legends Deal unless I have a guarantee that they are doing some type of three faces of Foley thing.’ I guess I don’t need to worry about that now. This is really great.”
Ringside Collectibles has listed the estimated release date for the pack as late November.

Chelsea Green has received her unique style of ring introduction from Samantha Irvin, and she says the idea completely belongs to the popular ring announcer.
Irvin’s vocal prowess allows her to put a different spin on Green’s name whenever her name is announced, and Green spoke about it at the San Diego Comic-Con WWE Mattel panel. She said,
“It was and it’s so so good, but you are going to see that I trained her for a little bit. It will be exclusive on TikTok. I’ll let you know when that’s live. I gave her a little training, a little vocal training, and a good warm up.”
Green and Sonya Deville defeated Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez to win the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships earlier this week on Monday Night RAW.
