 Mattel has decided to remove Bray Wyatt from two upcoming WWE action figure collections following his death last month. The Barbie toymaker's decision – which has been announced by retailer Ringside Collectibles – has been made to give the late wrestling legend's family 'some space' during such a difficult time after he died 'unexpectedly' aged 36. 'We've had to adjust two waves of upcoming WWE Figures due to the unfortunate passing of WWE Superstar Bray Wyatt,' the company said in a statement shared by Ringside Collectibles. However, Mattel did hint at more figures to come in the future to celebrate 'his legacy' in WWE. They continued: 'We'll be offering the performer's family some space at this time, but in partnership with WWE, we look forward to celebrating this amazing Superstar and his legacy in future lines to come.' As part of the decision, Wyatt 'will be removed' from the WWE Elite Collection Greatest Hits 3 and WWE Ultimate Edition Wave 20 ranges.

Ringside Collectibles has confirmed that any customers who had already ordered figures in the two affect collections will receive refunds. Wyatt's death was confirmed by WWE boss Triple H as he revealed the former world champion's father Mike Rotunda had been in touch. He wrote: 'Just received a call from WWE Hall of Famer Mike Rotunda who informed us of the tragic news that our WWE family member for life Windham Rotunda – also known as Bray Wyatt – unexpectedly passed earlier today.
