Review by Jon Donnis
The fun kicks in the moment you slide one of these little superstars onto your thumb. It feels daft in the best way. You square up, link hands, and suddenly you are in a miniature ring trying to score a clean pin. WWE Thumb Wars Characters lean on that simple thrill, and it works straight away. No setup. No waiting around. Just quick scraps that get louder and sillier with each round.
The characters themselves are only about an inch and a half tall, yet they have a solid feel to them. They sit firmly in place, which helps every push and counter feel deliberate. Younger players get a subtle boost in coordination, and the pace keeps everyone involved without drifting off. The line up gives you Cody Rhodes, Kevin Owens, Bret Hart, Undertaker, and the rare Rey Mysterio, which adds a bit of excitement when kids compare packs.
What really stands out is how easily these matches pop up anywhere. Whether it is at the dinner table while you are waiting for pudding, or the back of a car on a long journey, it is Thumb Wars, so you really can play anywhere.
The Undertaker is nearly as manacing here as in real life!
The storytelling side flows naturally as well. Kids can relive big WrestleMania moments or make up their own championship runs on the spot.
The figures look the part too. The paintwork is clean, and each sculpt actually resembles the superstar it represents, which gives them a collectable feel between matches. They look good lined up, ready for the next challenge.

There are only two real knocks against the set. The fit is tight, so it is clearly made for smaller thumbs. Adults will struggle, which is probably for the best given the intended audience. And with just five characters available, you do find yourself hoping WOW! Stuff expands the roster soon.
Even with those limits, WWE Thumb Wars Characters turn a classic playground game into something fresh and lively. It is quick, cheerful, and full of that playful wrestling spirit. A smart little stocking filler that delivers proper fun the moment someone calls out the three count.
