Can anyone tell me why this figure is priced so high on eBay? I have one and until recently I had no idea he was going for that much. I’m thinking I should sell him before the price goes down. He never gets played with by my son anyways because he prefers the current Kane

Attitude Era, original look, popular character in WWF/WWE history, older figure so it’s not like you’re finding it at retail and/or online stores anymore... Need I go on?

It was the first flashback (along with Shango), his most iconic look, and has never been re-released.

The recent Legends Basic of him in the similar attire seemed to sell really well too... and his Series 2 Retro figure is probably the hardest to find. At the end of the day, collectors love classic Kane.

Best version of Kane. The "Hardcore" RSC and reverse colors versions are runners up. I don't recognize Kane post mask removal.

It's still priced well because this is one of the few ones of value that didn't get a rerelease but it is one of my favorite figures of all time.

I’m just surprised that it calls for that much because I don’t think there’s anything that cool about it lol You shut your damn mouth! Anyway, it's because he was such a popular character in 1998. So popular they tried to turn Luke Gallows into a carbon copy 10 years ago. And it's a cool looking figure. People love Big Red Machine Kane. Plus, the closest thing they've come to a release was the two-sleeve basic. Also the reverse black/red one.

Wasn't he short packed too? I vaguely remember trying to hunt for him, but never even once did I come across him.

I remember when Elite 12 came out and I found it in stores I skipped on Kane but bought Shango. My thinking at the time was "Oh well Kane is still with the company, he has never been on bad terms. I'm sure they will re-release him to death." I was wrong on that one.

I missed this one I hope it gets rereleased, or even the two sleeved version but elite. I’m not paying secondary market prices and that’s why I still don’t own it.

I did pay secondary market price a couple years ago. $45 or $50 for a loose one. Got it in the mail. Pose the arms. Sleeved arm breaks off...

Omg lol The first time that happens to me will be the last time I ever buy a loose figure. As it is I’ve only bought two loose anyways (legends Vader and jake Roberts) but both were fine.

We seriously need this one re-released. No inverted colors, no two sleeves, I want the original 1997 look.
