I’m fine with them not rereleasing either figures unless there’s an improvement. I have both figures, but man they could of been better. 2001 Kane def needs a unique torso of his own to capture how massive he was back then. I also agree with what a few others have said about the R3 being the best Kane mask sculpt. I’d like a re-release with an improved torso and LACELESS boots. A red variant could also be made to knock both versions down. The 2003 Kane could also do with molded straps and unique knee pads. A molded masked sculpt would be awesome as well. For those that want the mask less version, he could come with a alternate head.

Usually most elites get re-released in some way shape or form in due time. It might not be the same exact figure, might be tweaked with some variation. With that being said, RSC exclusives hardly ever get re-released. I can’t tell you one that was. Maybe Brock in trunks? But the newer one had a different sculpt. But a RSC Kane is probably less than likely unless there’s a huge demand for it. The hardcore Kane was sitting in RSC for quite some time and wasn’t that hard to come by until a year later from its release. With the exclusives, if you snooze you lose.

I don’t see an RSC Exclusive ever being a candidate for a re-release, but in general I’m all for re-releases. While I can understand the mindset of not wanting them, especially if someone paid a good amount for a particular figure, I come from the perspective of someone who only began collecting in mid-to-late 2017. So if I can get a new release at retail as opposed to probably never getting the original release, count me in.

Reissues suck. And don’t work... sorry you missed out, but that’s the way it goes - nothing wrong with collectors wanting their figures to increase in value over time (god knows most of them go south). I wish I had Bundy, Martel and Vader from Legends - but I passed... bad luck for me, I either do without or put up the cash to get them. Increased value is a good thing over time.
No, This isn’t the same as scalping, learn the difference - scalping occurs when you buy with intention to profit only... collectors who have older more valuable figures aren’t scalpers - they are collectors who have been in the game long enough to see an increase in value.
I truely hope you find them at a price that is reasonable for you.

They did give us the Kane when he unmasked. Perhaps if they ever re-issue it maybe they could give it the 2002 return look since the tights on that attire is different from the day he unmasked?

i don't understand the appeal of exclusives . how come the good products are in limited quantity, and run out so easily, while the lackluster ones are sold in stores for retail price?
how much trouble would it be to offer the same quality products worldwide? so far in the last few years, mattel has made limited quantities of products that people actually want, and too many of the ones that don't sell and put them in stores, including all the exclusives, and "chase" people care for, and can't find, while there are millions of aj styles repaints looking like trash

Yeah, they do. Kane sucked once the mask first came off. Original kane was a badass. After that, he was just some dude. So all figures that represent a time in which he sucked, those figures also suck. I would say that this take isn't unreasonable, while I don't completely agree. When Kane first lost his mask it freshened him up for maybe a few months. Having him feud with non-wrestler Shane McMahon was a bad choice. Also a bad choice was eventually turning him into GM Bischoff's lackey. You're a top babyface? Be ready to have Kane fed to you on Raw to beat. Kane was going downhill in 2004 slowly, until it ramped up with Rise Above Hate welder Kane.

So all figures that represent a time in which he sucked, those figures also suck. Again No lol. Kane was a badass with the mask, with the 2nd mask, without the mask and with the new mask. The only Kane i was say was not 'badass' was Corporate Kane. Just because you didn't like post original Kane, doesn't mean they suck.

You can also turn your logic...just because YOU liked it, doesnt mean it was rotten booty. We arent gonna agree. There is no need to continue this back and forth. Enjoy your holidays dude.

2003 Kane I wouldn't mind a reissue of with True FX. Looking at how the Undertaker as Kane came out, I welcome it.
Hardcore Kane I feel is due for a redo with maybe better parts and an inverted color scheme to improve it as well as give an opportunity for those who missed the original to fill the gap.

Id buy it if they didn't come with removable masks, I absolutely hate all the new Kane elites, the mask never stays on. Just sculpt the mask on. The first two Elite "new-look" Kanes came with the mask sculpted on (...E19 and E22 I think?). But yeah, ever since then, the mask has always been separate/removable.

I'm fine with them not being re-released, I want new characters/paint schemes. If people want them they are still available, pay the price. Didnt see me complaining about DM HBK re-release. Pay the price? I would if it wasn’t ridiculously stupid....$400 on eBay, I don’t think so....I want it back but no way it’s worth THAT much!!

For those that want the mask less version, he could come with a alternate head. R3 scan from Jakks. The current Mattel one is not good. Laceless boots. Bigger Torso. Lesnars arms. Sculped mask for welder and beyond. Neve understood the removing feature. The mask needed it strap. Alternste head would work better.
