Quick take
The hard part of choosing action figures is deciding whether you want a focused character pairing, a larger display group, or a single franchise-specific collectible. This group spans WWE, Contra, Game of Thrones, and Super Mario Bros., with listed prices from USD 29.99 to USD 300. The WWE BATTLE GAME SET is the straightforward choice for a John Cena versus AJ Styles setup. NECA's Contra pair puts two 7-inch video-game characters together with articulated figures and game-inspired accessories. The Funko lot offers eight 1:12-scale Game of Thrones figures, while Takara's Donkey Kong is the single-character option for a Super Mario Bros. collection.

Decision matrix
- Choose the WWE BATTLE GAME SET Smash Brawlers John Cena vs AJ Styles when the goal is a compact WWE matchup built around those two wrestlers and a new, sealed set.
- Choose the Neca Contra Bill & Lance Video Game Appearance 2-Pack when a Contra display calls for two characters, 7-inch scale, articulation, and the pixelated video-game paint treatment.
- Choose the Funko Game of Thrones Action Figures Legacy Collection HBO Lot when the appeal is an eight-figure group from Game of Thrones in 1:12 scale.
- Choose the Takara Donkey Kong Action Figure when a single Donkey Kong figure tied to the Super Mario Bros. franchise is the priority, and used condition suits the collection.
Product notes
WWE BATTLE GAME SET Smash Brawlers John Cena vs AJ Styles
At USD 29.99, this TOMY WWE set is the lowest-listed choice and centers on a familiar head-to-head pairing: John Cena and AJ Styles. The new condition and sealed presentation make it well suited to shoppers who want the set identified in the title without building a larger character group first. PVC construction and original packaging are also part of its stated presentation. Its main limitation is scope: the set is specifically about the Cena-versus-Styles matchup, so it is less oriented toward collectors looking for a broad multi-character franchise display. Pick it for WWE-themed play or a focused wrestling shelf arrangement.
Donkey Kong Action Figure NINTENDO Super Smash Bros game 1994 Toy Hobby Takara
This Takara Donkey Kong figure is the USD 300 choice for collectors whose priority is the character rather than a two-pack or ensemble lot. It is a multicolor PVC standard edition connected to the Super Mario Bros. franchise, with Japan named as its country of origin. Donkey Kong makes the figure a direct fit for Nintendo-focused displays, especially when a single character is more appealing than several figures from unrelated series. The limitation is clear in both price and condition: it carries the highest listed price in the comparison and is used. Choose it when this particular Takara Donkey Kong is the centerpiece you want.
Neca Contra Bill & Lance Video Game Appearance 7" Action Figure 2-Pack 2016
NECA's USD 120 Contra set offers Bill and Lance together as two articulated figures standing about 7 inches tall. The special pixelated paint deco, detachable weapon blast effects, power-up capsule, and clear support stand give it a distinctly video-game-centered presentation. Its cartridge-style window box also reinforces the Contra theme, making this a strong match for collectors who want a coordinated pair instead of one character alone. The figures are new and unopened, but the description notes dents and bends to the box. That packaging condition is the tradeoff to weigh if the box itself matters to your display.
Funko Game of Thrones Action Figures Legacy Collection HBO Lot
At USD 85, the Funko Game of Thrones Legacy Collection lot brings together eight figures in 1:12 scale, making it the clearest option for assembling a substantial franchise display in one selection. The 2014 production year and adult-collectible positioning reinforce its focus on fans of the HBO series rather than a single featured character. Choose this lot when the interest is in variety across Game of Thrones figures and the visual presence of a group. Its limitation is the used condition, which distinguishes it from the new WWE and Contra selections. The set works best when an ensemble is more important than a sealed individual pairing.
Final recommendation by use case
For the most direct WWE character matchup, choose the WWE BATTLE GAME SET Smash Brawlers John Cena vs AJ Styles. Contra fans seeking articulation and game-specific accessories should favor Bill & Lance. The Funko Game of Thrones lot is the natural pick for an eight-figure group display. Choose Takara Donkey Kong when a standalone Nintendo character collectible is the central goal.
