They've literally repackaged the same Basic Kane in several waves within the past 18 months.
Stop that.

While I don't want or need another DDP...it makes sense we are getting another. He is signed under contract and it'll probably be the same scan. Why would they spend money on a new scan? The whole point of repaints is to put out figures for the cheapest possible cost. it's not like they can make anyone they want. So just because they have the rights Booker T doesn't mean the can make Stevie Ray. They will have to shell out money to sign new people so well will be seeing plenty of repaints.
And guys like Orton, Cena, Bryan, Reigns, etc will always be getting repaints, because they are the guys the WWE has hitched their wagon to. Thus they are the guys the retailers want on the pegs. Because at the end of the day there will always be a new kid getting/wanting their first figure of them.

Hopefully thats the one we get but I dont know if Dean held that title when it had the red straps. Essa Rios did, he would make a really cool looking figure.

Well if these repaints work out far cheaper for Mattel then maybe they should try to reflect that on the retail cost we pay for. Instead they up the price every year or two or have been doing so the last few years. I ofcourse am referring to elites.

What is an accessorie?
As stated previously, opening the conversation to more individuals is a positive thing. Assuredly there are more options than your aforementioned title.
Speaking of "failing to read," you might want to read about verb tenses and subject-verb agreement before posting.

How do you know which wrestlers are under a legends contract, just curious?! I have come across a couple threads on here about that subject and its all been speculation as no one know who is under a legends deal and who's deal has expired. The only ones I have determined that their deals have expired (based on comments from MDT) are Andre the Giant, Vader & Road Warriors/Legion of Doom. It has been speculated that M$M and Mick Foley's deals have expired but no way of knowing for sure?!
Mattel is in the business of making money, the reason they release many different versions of certain guys like Cena, Undertaker, Triple H, Kane & Warrior is because they sell- plain and simple. Also, remember that the main target market for these figures is children and fans of the current product which is why flashbacks & legends only make up a very small fraction of the total number of figs released. As someone who is mainly interested in legends I understand where you are coming from but at the end of the day $$ talks and collectors come in a distant second to kids and buyers of the current roster of wrestlers.
Perhaps DDP is one of the 'release risk' guys you were referring to and the reason he is getting another figure is because his deal is expiring soon?! I think this might be the case plus the fact (as others have mentioned) that his first fig was an exclusive people who want a figure of him might not have purchased the first one.

I'd rather have a new DDP Elite than Bo Dallas, Adam Rose or various other c-level new talent that never appears on television.

I would like another Honky Tonk Man (blue jumpsuit attire) as I missed out on the first one and from what I have read it was hard to find. Greg Valentine is a big want of mine, I am hopeful that with Tito Santana getting a figure, we will see one of The Hammer as well (perhaps next year?!). Unfortunately, I think that they will include it in the HOF line just like Tito.

I am in the camp of wanting a new DDP as well. I understand the frustration, but considering how easy some of those lower card Legends have been to find, they must be selling a lot less. I've seen Doink four times in three weeks but no Paige anywhere.
