Mattel Expands Wrestling Portfolio With Lucha Libre AAA Deal
A new multi-year licensing agreement will bring the high-flying stars of Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide into the Mattel product ecosystem. The partnership bridges the gap between the toy giant’s existing sports entertainment dominance and the iconic Mexican wrestling promotion, with the first retail toys scheduled to arrive in late 2027.
Fans attending San Diego Comic-Con will get an early look at the collaboration when the company debuts a made-to-order Mr. Iguana figure. By integrating the vibrant aesthetics of Lucha Libre into their global distribution network, Mattel aims to leverage the cultural reach of the Mexican promotion to broaden its appeal among international collectors.
