With Andre the Giants' Legends series figure being pretty much rereleased in Elite 29, I was wondering something. Mattel said that a slim few bought Andre off Matty Collector and they wanted to give everyone who didn't buy him off the internet to get a fair chance at owning him. After all, he is a very recognizable name that Mattel knows they can profit off of. With that in mind, even though they aren't necessarily huge names, do you think we may see Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard possibly rereleased at some point as Flashbacks? This way, people who didn't order them off Matty Collector would have a chance at getting them without having to pay the high prices on the internet, like Andre. Would you want another set of Brainbusters? Discuss.

I certainly would pick them up to hang out with my new Flair. I'm not going to pay what they are going for currently.

this thread has been done before , but the consensus was NO they wont be re-released. Tully by far wont be re-released and Arn has a slim to none chance. But i think everyone would like another shot ..

Andre was too big a star to have a small release, I dont expect Tully to get another one. I would however like to see RSC order some loose classic tag belts and sell them in pairs for 10 to 15 each. That would be awesome!

I blame those two for the mattycollector legends failing. They should never be made again.

I for one would love for them to be re-released. What I'd like is for a Bobby Heenan BAF with
Arn Anderson with Brainbusters jacket and tag belt Tully Blanchard with Brainbusters jacket and tag belt Rick Rude with long hair and robe Rick Flair in red with robe

And the only reason they sell now is because people want THE BELTS!... Not the people.

But they still sold out, while all the others didnt. Belts or not, those two arent the reason the line failed. However, if people just wanted just the belts, wouldnt a place like Ebay be flooded with Loose Tully or Arn figures? There's not one loose, belt less Tully figure on there. (that I saw)

(that I saw) they all "sold out" but I recall arn being the last one to do so(I wanna say DDP was 2nd to last) I feel like if those two along with DDP & KKB had been replaced with better names the line would have sold better and could still be around. I'm not even going to touch that "eBay" remark... THE ONLY WAY these figures would have a SHOT at retail without ending up like their Jakks counterparts would be if they both came with two VAC style tag titles, however I bet you'd find TONS of them returned with Jakks belts or just having the belts stolen while in the store.

Better names? It was the collectors votes. I think if people weren't so cheap about not wanting to spend $10 shipping per figure the Legends line would still be on Matty. But there was only a few of us who ordered each figure on their release date. Most b1tched and complained about the shipping cost and weren't going to order until more figures were available to order to save on shipping. That is what killed the line on Matty...because if an item doesn't sell out on there within 2-3 days they consider it a failure.

That vote wasn't real imo. We saw the Arn prototype before the vote even took place. The Legends that went to Matty Collector were the Legends Mattel was going to make make anyway imo. Also, even if it was a legit vote, you could vote as many times as you wanted. So it wasn't an accurate gauge of actual consumer interest. Bundy was by far the worst Matty Collector offer imo, but to each their own.
I wouldn't re-buy them, for the record. I got them once and that's enough for me. I'd rather see any number of tag teams take up that spot, or Anvil and Windham in a series so we can finish off those stables.

I wasn't hardcore back into collecting when they were offered, so I would definitely buy them if the chance presented itself.
