WWE Elite Series 125 Lines Up Cody Rhodes, Giulia, and Jacob Fatu Starting at $40.99

Mattel's mainline WWE Elite Collection has reached Series 125, and this wave brings together a genuinely varied mix of current stars and roster veterans in one six-figure lineup: Cody Rhodes, Giulia, Jacob Fatu, Koko B. Ware, Demolition Crush, and Stephanie Vaquer. Pricing runs from $40.99 CAD up to $49.99 CAD depending on the figure, keeping the wave in line with recent Elite Collection releases.

What stands out about Series 125 is the range it covers. Rather than leaning entirely into current main-event talent or entirely into nostalgia picks, the wave mixes present-day stars like Stephanie Vaquer and Jacob Fatu with a legacy figure in Koko B. Ware and a Demolition Crush release tied to one of WWE's classic tag team acts. That spread makes this a wave with something for both current-roster collectors and longtime WWE Elite completionists.

Here is the full breakdown of what is in the wave and how to keep these figures in solid shelf condition once they arrive.

The Full Series 125 Checklist

  • Cody Rhodes (WrestleMania 41 edition) — $40.99 CAD
  • Giulia
  • Jacob Fatu
  • Koko B. Ware — $49.99 CAD
  • Demolition Crush — $49.99 CAD
  • Stephanie Vaquer — $49.99 CAD

The Cody Rhodes figure being tied specifically to his WrestleMania 41 look gives collectors a dated, event-specific variant rather than a generic mainline sculpt, which tends to hold more interest for collectors tracking specific eras of a wrestler's career.

A Wave That Spans Multiple Eras

Koko B. Ware and Demolition Crush both draw from WWE's classic era, giving this wave a nostalgia anchor that current-roster-only waves often lack. Pairing those legacy picks with genuinely current stars like Giulia and Stephanie Vaquer, both recent additions to WWE's roster, makes Series 125 a more complete cross-section of the brand's history than a wave built entirely around whoever is currently in a televised storyline.

Why Jacob Fatu's Elite Figure Matters

Jacob Fatu has appeared in other Mattel WWE product lines before, including the Main Event Series, but a mainline Elite Collection figure carries more detail and articulation than the more budget-oriented Main Event line typically offers. For collectors who already picked up an earlier Fatu figure from a different sub-line, this Elite version is a worthwhile upgrade rather than a redundant purchase, given the format's generally higher sculpt and paint standard.

Giulia and Stephanie Vaquer's Growing Elite Presence

Both Giulia and Stephanie Vaquer represent WWE's continued investment in turning recent roster additions into mainline Elite figures relatively quickly after their main-roster debuts, rather than waiting years for a character to earn a figure. That faster turnaround is worth noting for collectors deciding whether to buy in early on a newer wrestler's figure line, since it suggests Mattel is treating both as significant enough talent to prioritize for the Elite format ahead of some longer-tenured roster members who have yet to receive a mainline release.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Assuming every figure in the wave is priced identically. Series 125 spans $40.99 to $49.99 CAD depending on the specific figure, so check pricing per character rather than assuming a flat wave-wide cost.
  • Displaying figures loose without any box or case protection. Mainline WWE Elite figures use printed window-box packaging that is prone to shelf wear and corner crushing if stored without a protective case.
  • Overlooking the WrestleMania 41-specific detailing on the Cody Rhodes figure. Collectors who already have a standard Cody Rhodes Elite figure should confirm this is the distinct WrestleMania 41 variant before assuming it duplicates an earlier release.

Recommended Products

A boxed-figure protector sized for standard 6-inch collector packaging keeps each Series 125 figure's window box art and blister intact, which matters for a wave this varied since several figures will likely see continued secondary-market interest. For collectors displaying figures loose rather than boxed, an acrylic case built for 6-inch scale figures gives each character its own protected slot on a shelf.

Final Thoughts

WWE Elite Series 125 is a well-rounded wave that balances current roster stars with genuine nostalgia picks, giving it broader appeal than a wave built around a single storyline moment. The event-specific Cody Rhodes variant and the legacy Demolition Crush and Koko B. Ware figures are the standout picks for collectors deciding which figures in the wave to prioritize.
