So since I've just gotten back into collecting I've been buying up a lot of elites, all flashbacks and legends and some look to cost an arm and a leg. I've gotten lucky on a few, this week especially but some look to be hard to get. Before I spend big money, how many of these do you guys think will see another release.
King Kong Bundy Debut Kane Jake Roberts LOD Vader Akeem Texas Tornado

Bundy, RW Animal, Akeem are all plaintiffs in the concussion lawsuit. Unless they dropped out or Bill discovers some sort of loophole like he did with Warlord, Berzerker, and Kamala they can not be made. Jake is being released in HOF5.

I really want a Rick Martel in pink. A Basic is totally fine. I don't know about most of you, but I bought multiple Martel figures from the Legends line and they were all stained black from his coat. So we need another go round for him imo. If they could sneak in a pink arrogance sprayer somehow to go along with it, all the more awesome.
I think if we see another KVE, it's going to be his NWA Championship win look with David Robe, personally. I'm not expecting any more though. Kane and Vader will likely get additional releases.
I was flabbergasted that we didn't get WMXI Bam Bam as his rerelease. So I'd like to think a mid 90s Bam Bam will still happen.

Only one I see as a definate is e12 Kane. I thought I heard a rumor about another Texas tornado but I can't remember where I heard that.
Vader doesn't have a contract and is in poor health so I don't see that one coming soon

Kane needs two sleeves or mesh added if another 1997-2000 version is made

I'd rather have a Strike Force Martel to go with HOF Tito before another Model.

As a Basic only collector (yeah yeah, sue me) I'd kill for a straight re-release of Vaders last Elite in Basic form too. Same with the RSC Wolfpack Nash and Sting.

I think at some point Bill Said that LOD 2000 was in the plans before the concussion lawsuit. If the lawsuit is ever resolved, I would imagine that would get made eventually.
I'd expect a 2 sleeve Kane will get made, and pink Martel could be a possibility. Vader was re-released semi recently, so I think that's a long shot.

Aside from the upcoming HOF5 figure, I can see Mattel releasing another heel attire Jake Roberts figure. They could do a repaint of the legends line figure, the attire he wore in the infamous match with Macho Man where the snake attacked Savage: Like Fighter Hayabusa, I would like to see a Strike Force Martel if they ever release another figure of him. I think they should go with this gimmick as it might help sell off the Tito Santana figures that many on here have complained are clogging shelves in their area as the Tito figure can easily be used as a Strike Force Tito as well. As far as the list posted, I think we would have seen another Bundy figure as well as a One Man Gang figure had those two guys not been part of the lawsuit. I still don't understand how Warlord and Berzerker are getting made, Bill mentioned the figure were already in production but wouldn't production stop once they joined the lawsuit?!

Too bad about George Gray (Akeem) being part of that lawsuit. We got the Heenan family. I'd love to get Slick and his faction of heels including One Man Gang, Butch Reed, and Power and Glory.

Rockers 2 pack Demolition as a 2 pack Akeem Bundy Texas tornado

None of those hopefully but could live with One Man Gang instead of another Akeem

King Kong Bundy Debut Kane Jake Roberts LOD Vader Akeem Texas Tornado ...out of those, only Jake (who's in HOF 5 with TWO snakes!) and Kane. Although, I don't think Kane would be a straight-up rerelease... he'd probably be a repaint/a bit different.

I'd like to see rereleases/slight tweaks of:
Elite 12 Kane but with the double sleeve Elite 18 Undertaker, with a long ginger hair head Elite 17 Mankind with blue sweatpants Legends 6 Eddie Guerrero with highlights and different colour tights Elite 23 JBL with better parts choices for the body
And for a new one like the Jericho in the previous series: Surfer Sting

I guess I could live with a rerelease of Jake Roberts L2 if they did the blue variant which I'm surprised isn't a basic by now I might add

Im really hoping another elite Luger gets made, we seemingly have gotten every version of Lex except for arguably his greatest run of his career in 1997. I'd like to see rereleases/slight tweaks of: Elite 12 Kane but with the double sleeve Elite 18 Undertaker, with a long ginger hair head Elite 17 Mankind with blue sweatpants Legends 6 Eddie Guerrero with highlights and different colour tights Elite 23 JBL with better parts choices for the body And for a new one like the Jericho in the previous series: Surfer Sting Agree to all of this. Also wish they would make another Road Dogg and just mold on the damn shirt. One molded on design would be much better than having two rubber ones that are both 8 sizes too big.
