The Akeem headscan is spot-on, one of Mattel's best I'd say. I'd love to see a One Man Gang using that same scan but retooled to be bald, and ideally in his red-trim attire from WCW circa 1995/1996. I think that attire is visually much more striking than the plainer black/white ones he wore in WWE.
I have no interest in a rereleased Akeem, nor do I have any interest in a One Man Gang with the weird shouting headscan seen in the unreleased proto.

I have had enough of these rerelease requests, so people who boarded the Mattel train recently can save a few bucks. I have been collecting since the begging. Didn't I kinda make it obvious right here: "I originally passed up on him thinking we would get a O.M.G"?

As much as I'd like an Akeem, I don't think the aftermarket price is bad enough to warrant a rerelease. I'd totally get one if it was, and I'd buy a OMG in a heartbeat if he was released.

A scenario where re-releases could be bought online for a premium would be neat. But no, I wouldn't buy Akeem.

Personally I'd be happy with a rerelease cause it'll save me from having to get one off eBay. I spent way more than I'd like to admit on Pillman and L6 Warrior.

Maybe...if it came in a HOF 4-pack with Slick, Bossman and Warlord, but I'd rather see Power and Glory and the Warlord in that pack if it were to ever happen (which I can't realistically see)

I think it'd be cool as a battle pack with Slick, maybe the Brodus Clay body with a molded hat and overshirt for the torso with king sleeves, Slick in gray with a black tie and E33 Batista hat(assuming they still have the rights to either of them).
One Man Gang should come out too, elite with denim vest(cloth or plastic, as long as the figure comes out).

The originals are available online for a premium already I'm thinking of some special way that any mattel WWE figure could be bought online from mattel, not in a way that rewards scalping/reselling. But I see your point. This sort of thing always splits collectors.

Akeem's a great figure. Releasing him again would be a bad idea though...
Especially as Mattel already have a OMG head sculpt.
