Jay's Grade — our honest in-house call, not third-party slabbed.
WWE Retro Series Zack Ryder Action Figure (2018 Mattel)
Few figures in Mattel's WWE Retro line carry as much meta-collector weight as Zack Ryder (Matt Cardona) — a real-life action figure obsessive who famously amassed one of the largest WWE toy collections in existence and collaborated with Mattel on unboxing content. Owning his own Retro figure is a genuinely self-referential piece of WWE collecting history, appealing to Mattel completionists, LJN-era nostalgia hunters, and Ryder fans alike. The line's deliberate throwback to the chunky, limited-articulation style of 1980s LJN WWF rubber figures gives it a distinct shelf presence that bridges vintage and modern WWE collecting.
This is a vintage carded example from the 2018 release (©2019 WWE, SKU GDC32 / Asst. GHL49). The card presents in collectible condition — the blue retro-style blister card is intact, and the bubble seats the figure securely. The card back sports the signature orange/gold "WOO! WOO! WOO!" banner, a WWE Mayhem mobile game "Scan & Play" QR cross-promotion, and a call-out for the pull-back spring-action "Fist Pump to the Face!" feature. The assortment art on the back pictures wave-mates Braun Strowman, Jeff Hardy, and Iron Sheik. We assess each card personally before listing — what you see is what you receive.
Jay's Toys sources authentic Mattel product and stands behind every listing. If there's an issue with your order, our returns team is here to make it right. Stock is limited on vintage singles like this one — add it to your cart now before it's gone.

Jays is my first stop in collecting. I preorder things through Walmart, Amazon, Hasbro Pulse, etc., but Jays always seem to get the items and either meet or beat the other companies pricing. I always end up cancelling my pre-orders and going with Jays. Better selection, price and MUCH MUCH better shipping quality. You can't even compare anyone else's shipping and packing to Jays. And that's why Jay's blows them all out of the water.
Great fast shipping, packaging with care. I am definitely buying from Jay's again! Such peace of mind knowing my items will arrive minty. 5 stars!
Perfect and careful packaging, shipped super quick. Thank you, will definitely be following the store!
Didn't pull any punches in item description. Came extremely fast and well packed. Extremely happy being a first time buyer! Thank you.
I've been buying from Jay's for a while now and I am never disappointed with the experience. Prices that can't be beat, easy PayPal option, and lots of bubble wrap surrounding the products. The fact that they go out of their way to make consumers happy keeps me coming back.
This is my 3rd or 4th time I have ordered from Jay's. The orders are always correct and arrive pretty quick and packaged extremely well. Best in the industry.
