In Brief: After more than four years in WWE, Alicia Fox is finally getting her first action figure.



- Action Figure Spotlight: Alicia Fox Mattel WWE Series 23
- Scheduled for release: October 2012
- What you can expect to pay: $9.99 retail; $39.99 pre-order.

After more than four years in WWE, Alicia Fox is finally getting her first action figure. At Comic Con 2012, Mattel revealed several new WWE toys, including the new Fox toy. Alicia's
first figure will be included in Mattel's 23rd series of basic WWE figures.

The toy is very detailed, with a black top and skirt and black boots, as well as the fox's head hoodie she wears into the ring. She has bright red hair and a face that looks somewhat like Rihanna.

According to ringsidecollectibles.com, series 23 is scheduled for a late-October release. Fox's figure will likely be the most popular and valuable in the set upon its release. Ringside Collectibles is asking $39.99 to pre-order the figure, which will cost around $9.99 if you're able to find one in a retail store.

Collectors have vented their frustration with Mattel's scattershot distribution. Many collectors have noted that their local stores will get in several cases of one series, and then they'll never see three or four other series. If you're wanting the Fox figure, you may have to spend the high pre-order price or hope they cool off once they hit the secondary market.
