Am I the only one that thinks the old RSC Exclusives should return? I never had the chance to pick up any of them. At least Brock is seeing a rerelease.

I don't think they should, it kinda defeats the purpose of having those figures as exclusives honestly. But I do like what Mattel's doing with releasing them in some other form, like what you have said with Brock, the new DM Stone Cold and hopefully the Cactus Jack they showed a few months back. Not sure of the status of the Cactus Jack figure though.

Well, i guess for some of those who owns the exclusives, they'd prefer to keep them as their "trophies" of the toy hunting/acquisition game. Owning that something special that not many other latecomers can possess makes them feel happy.
Re-releasing those figures will "de-value" their "toy of glory" if their intention was also to resell these in the future. So that makes some sense.
As for me, i do own a couple (scsa, bret, hbk, cactus jack, edge, etc.). But do i care if they make more? I seriously don't. On the contrary, i hope they remake more and i may still buy to collect both loose & mint condition.

I agree with most on here. I would say No to a straight re-release, but i am for a slight retool or repaint to differentiate them. Like with DM Austin, HOF Macho King, esc....

I'm not a fan of resale value trophies, but the to-do list on the Mattel line is pretty darn big and if they're going to rerelease a figure, it should be remarkably different, like an inverted colors Hardcore Kane, Joker Mysterio, all white Hogan, red/black nWo Hall, black/silver HBK. Something like the Bossman would be a waste of a rerelease if they did anything besides the blue/black/yellow, even though the WCW fan in me would like to see The Boss someday.
That said, RSC exclusives are available for a really long time generally, the only ones that were kind of staggered due to the flood were SES Punk and Unmasking Kane, but the salvaged stuff was sold for dirt cheap later.

I think they should, although personally I have no interest in them.
People get bent out of shape because it devalues their "original" figure if it's reissued. In my opinion, exclusives are figures that are only available at a set location, not necessarily in a certain quantity. Exclusives aren't necessarily limited editions.
Reissue them!

I don't collect so my figures can increase in value. I don't care if they produce a billion of them or just one so long as I get mine! So have at it!

Looking at some of the posts on here it seems that people only buy exclusives hoping that they're going to be worth tons of money through time. Sadly I'm from the UK and can't buy RSC exclusives and at the minute some of them are selling for a ridiculous amount of money so I would be more than happy to see some of them re released so that we could buy them at a cheaper price.
I don't look at a figure and say ''OMG this super rare and I'm so lucky have it'' I look at them and be happy to own them because they're nice figures. |

I have most of the exclusives released but I wouldn't mind. I don't care about value since I don't plan on selling so if it gives others a chance to get them I'm for it.

No and in some cases like with CM Punk where he probably won't sign a legends deal. So your not going to get a re-release of some of them...

Define "return" like full out 100% reissue? No. But they can do something close. Look at the new Cactus Jack coming, pretty close but not 100% the same and so die hards (or suckers who paid too much to flippers) can justify the original.
I think they can re-release that Punk, just no shirt or belt or something. Same w/Kane. For HBK, waaaaaaay in the future, no, unless they totally change his outfit and just use the same head.
Variants are ok I think, just not 100% reissues. I'd like that Kane and Punk someday. The hardcore and ECW titles will come with other figures someday, no way they're NOT gonna do that.

Absolutely not. I think they can re-release that Punk, just no shirt or belt or something. Pretty sure they can't |

I'd like to get my hands on 2002 Kane, SES Punk, maybe all pink Bret Hart, and Austin's red vest. So yeah, I'd be up for it. Unlike some selfish A-holes, I don't mind if they re-release rare figures that I already have. I don't concern myself with whose collection is better than mine. I buy these things to play with.

There are those that due collect in hopes of the collectibles appreciating in value. It would be unfair to them. They used to actually inform collectors of the number of units produced. Not sure why they stopped doing that. Maybe that was jakks' idea in the first place.
