As necessary as Cyndi Lauper was to the early success of WWE in the course of the wrestling boom of Eighties, there was never a degree where she received her own wrestling motion figure. Nearly 40 years later, that has finally modified. PWInsider reports that the “Time After Time” and “Girls Just Want To Have Fun” singer has received her first WWE motion figure, a component of a Mattel set featuring Lauper, Captain Lou Albino, and Roddy Piper on Piper’s Pit. Taking to X Wednesday morning, PWInsider’s Mike Johnson posted video of Lauper receiving and reacting to the figure.
“I wanted it to be made because I received such an incredible experience with the wrestlers,” Lauper said.
Indeed, Lauper was over the moon in regards to the revelation, even taking the motion figures out of the box and fidgeting with them for a bit, before conducting an “interview” together with her Lauper motion figure. The singer was pleased with the extent of detail to her motion figure’s outfit and the proven fact that she was capable of change heads for various facial expressions. However it seems she was most joyful with the proven fact that it brought back great memories of her time in wrestling.
“It just jogs my memory of Captain Lou and Roddy,” Lauper said. “And I’m glad that this moment was captured, because this was a classic.”

Lauper has not made a WWE appearance since 2012, but has left the door open about making an appearance within the promotion down the road. Despite her being probably the most outstanding wrestlers involved with WWE when the promotion was taking off, she has yet to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, which Hall of Famer Jimmy Hart has attributed to Lauper’s busy schedule.
