Stone Cold Steve Austin is headlining Mattel's SummerSlam-themed Elite Collection wave with a figure built around a specific piece of WWE history. Confirmed via Mattel's official product listing, the WWE Elite Collection SummerSlam 2026 Series 7 Stone Cold Steve Austin figure released in May 2026.
This is a confirmed, now-available release, so here's what's included.
Mattel's official listing confirms the following:
Rather than a generic build-a-figure gimmick, this wave's Jesse Ventura pieces are specifically tied to his role at SummerSlam 1999, giving the completed build-a-figure a direct historical anchor once collectors assemble the full set across the SummerSlam Series 7 wave.
The extra head and removable vest give collectors options for how to display Stone Cold — with or without the vest, and with either included head sculpt — which is more flexibility than a standard single-look Elite figure typically offers.
For a 6-inch scale figure with this many parts, EVORETRO's acrylic modular case keeps the extra head, hands, and vest organized and dust-free.
For posing Stone Cold in classic WWE stances, EVORETRO's articulated action figure stands support 6-inch scale figures well.
Mattel's event-specific Elite waves tend to generate more sustained secondary market interest than standard numbered series releases, since they're tied to a specific, non-repeating show rather than an ongoing storyline that will eventually get superseded by newer figures. A SummerSlam 2026 wave specifically built around historical moments — like this Stone Cold figure's tie to the 1999 event — adds a collector-history angle on top of the standard new-figure release cycle.
Since Jesse Ventura's parts are spread across the full SummerSlam Series 7 wave rather than bundled with a single figure, completionists need to track down every entry in the series to finish the build-a-figure, not just the figures they'd otherwise want on their own merits. Buying the full wave as a set from a single retailer is generally the more reliable way to guarantee every required piece arrives, rather than picking up individual figures piecemeal from different sources.

This Stone Cold figure gives WWE collectors a historically grounded SummerSlam tribute with real accessory variety and a build-a-figure tie-in. Since it's already released, it's worth completing the wave before pieces become harder to find.
Having a case and stands ready keeps every piece protected and properly displayed.
