the only people complaining that figures are rereleased are taking this hobby WAAAAY too seriously
"waaaah my figure is not special anymore"
here's the thing: that's how business works, and the fact that your so adament on stopping rereleases tells me two things: one you don't want to look like you lost money, or you are that guy selling figures for $200+ on Evilbay
MDT, you killed with this line
also note people complained when L6 Warriors yellow WWF belt was wrong, and now you're telling me it's right, HAH get f out of here!

here's the thing: that's how business works, and the fact that your so adament on stopping rereleases tells me two things: one you don't want to look like you lost money, or you are that guy selling figures for $200+ on Evilbay False. Can't a collector just be pleased that certain figures they have are more valuable or sought-after than others? I'll give you an example about re-releases: the E16 Kevin Nash wasn't released here, so I had to pay over the odds for it on eBay, plus international shipping... all in all, it cost me about $75. I really wanted the figure - so it was either pay-up or miss-out. Now... if Mattel were to re-release this exact figure in their next wave, I'm meant to be all "oh cool... good for all those who missed out the first time"? Heck, no. Not only does it devalue the original figure (money-wise and collectibility-wise), it also takes some of the joy out of owning a more sought-after figure. Not to mention the effort I put in to actually getting that figure the first time 'round. I know some collectors feel this way about the Warrior re-release, but luckily none of these other re-releases are/were particularly hard to get hold of. If Mattel were to re-release some of the more sought-after Legends figures or Flashbacks like E12 Kane, E16 Nash or Diesel, E17 Mankind etc., then it would suck - big-time. I've said it before (and it might sound harsh), but if you missed certain figures the first time... then tough. Some people went out of their way or paid well over the odds to get them. If they have to re-release certain figures, then the HOF Yokozuna was exactly how to do it... basically the same figure/mold, but with white tights (instead of red), a new head and different accessories (tag belts instead of the gown) - the same character/figure as before (using nearly all old materials) - but clearly very different to the original. Everyone's happy.  |

Everyone's happy. Jakks has done that before, remember the CSDA Undertakers and Shawn Micheals they rereleased before hell even Lego has done this before with some of their Star Wars sets if they can do this without any headache (that i am aware of) then it shouldn't be a big deal, especially when Jakks done this on numerous occasions the ONLY figure that shouldn't be rereleased is the Vince McMahon figure as you HAD to spend more than $30+ dollars and ship in the card to get it |

Just because these figures are releasing again doesn't mean the originals are less important. Looking at these figures compared to the original release I can tell you there are some slight difference.
The differences-
Warrior- has his wrist tape colors are in a different order than the original
Undertaker- the new version doesn't have the purple raccoon eyes like the original
Shawn- his belt doesn't have the WWE logo on it like the original
Kamala- perfect figure! Good thing they didn't change anything. (I couldn't pick up on any changes)
Rerelease so are good for new coming collectors. Can't we all....just get along....

Warrior is a must have for me, I may get Taker too. I was looking forward to Jericho but I have that attire on a basic. I don't really need Kamala (he's a maybe though) and Magnum T.A. I already have Shawn Michaels so I won't get him either.
I like the Jericho and may get it but I think the best of the set is Warrior even if you have him as it's his career Defining Moment, then T.A. as I know many wanted him and were annoyed he wasn't planned since he was cancelled, then Taker as it's classic old school for me but it didn't need a re release in my opinion, then Kamala as he has all the necessary accessories and is loaded with detail, then HBK as he's a great figure but not his best attire in my opinion and I don't think it needed a re release and Jericho is last for me because it's a re paint with no tats and the attire is the same as a basic we already got.

Now that we have seen the MIB pics all I care about now is checking my email and seeing a shipping notification from RSC for my two Magnum figures. Here's hoping they are in before early August.

Jericho no tats, thats a shame It is a shame. For this reason (I like the figure though) is leaning me towards not buying it. |

No chest hair on Hbk. No knee pads on him either. Jericho face scan terrible. Undertaker still no the right colour on his hands and feet. No blue glove on the championship with warrior. I really do wonder sometimes what mattel are thinking when they do things like this. Good call man most are nothing but a cash grab and Im shocked most dont have Sid colored hair  Mattel is getting sloppier |

I think Jericho's face looks great. Love Magnum's boots. I'll pick up those two. Maybe not Magnum... Haven't decided.

I have a few rare ones,but I for one hope they re-release all the rare ones. I've paid high prices for rate ones and refused to get gouged for others. If you have a problem that you paid high and they re-release waaaaaaah hate that for you. Find another hobby. Every fan deserves to get them. What if you didn't have the money or had the money but I don't know maybe your car messed up and you didn't have a choice. Damn its a hobby and some of you Aholes want to begrudge someone of their favorite wrestler because you paid more. Really??? Grow the Fk up. It's for collectors and kids to enjoy not bank their future on.

I don't know who it was but they were right Warrior does have a slightly different paint deco than the Legends Series 6 figure. Their wristbands are painted differently.
L6 wristbands go in this order from forearm to wrist... yellow, pink, green and orange. This figure's it goes orange, pink, green and yellow.
