Bill, MDT whom ever it concerns, how about actually doing a re-release of someone that actully needs one...not Kamala, not Mankind, a figure that didnt get a release outside the U.S and who is a legend...im talking about Dusty Rhodes, baby! I reallllly need this figure for my NWA collection, we need to get Dusty on the shelves again!!! Make it happen, please!

Totally agree with this. The ring was a waste. Just want that figure!

Pretty sure the ring and $34 price point was how they justified releasing it. I had no problem paying $15 more and get a ring that I can display WCW guys in. These sold at that price too. Some may have been discounted a bit but I never say any cheaper than $24

I don't think my Targets ever got the ring/Dusty, if they did it was very limited and never saw it.

Finding the SS Dusty last week brought that idea into my mind. I live in the US, but I was unable to make the 50-mile trip to the nearest Target to even make an effort to get the WCW ring. A re-release would be extremely welcome. Just hoping that the timeframe would allow it, considering the 2019 expiration of Mattel's current license.

Totally agree, I didn't want to pay 35 just for a figure I did want and a ring I didn't want.

I bought it with the ring. At first I wish I didn't have to buy the ring, but my son gets way more use out of the ring then I do dusty lol. Glad it came with the ring.

Even though I bought 2 Dustys w/ring, I agree about doing a re-release for those who didn't get a chance at buying it. Don't care about resell value. Do some slight changes on the figure, add some extras like a cowbell or bullrope, and give it another shot.

I'm hoping they re-release the elite polka dot Dusty. I bought a loose shirt and the SS basic but it's not doing it for me.

I am set with him. I purchased 2 of the ring set for myself and one for an overseas member who didn't want the ring. So I have two Dusty and three WCW rings. And I did want the WCW rings when I purchased them. Plus I have two Legends figures as well as a custom NWA Dusty I made when Legends series 1 was released. I would probably still buy it if released again, but there's really no reason for me to want another. I still need to pick up the SummerSlam version though.

Did you buy 3 rings so you could do a World War 3? Lol

No, I bought the two because one was going to have my GAB Sting and DM Flair with HoF head displayed by themselves in it. Then the second I was putting the steel cage on to display with Tully and Magnum. The third happened because JokerFC just wanted the Dusty. Funny thing is all three rings are packed away now because I lost the extra space. lol

I bought it when it was first released. I spent more than I'd care to think about. Love the Dusty, never even took the ring out of the box. I just don't have room for a ring.
What I'd like to see is maybe a variation of the NWA Dusty, but maybe with a green elbow pad just to mix it up. It'd be cool to release him in a TNF 3 pack pack with Magnum & Nikita. Or even a Dustin, (younger) Windham, or Flair.

I was in the minority that I wanted the ring but not the figure. I already had a custom Dusty along with the Legends release.

Yeah, I think I only paid around $24 for him. Target did a ton of toy sales because it came out around the holidays AND then it eventually got clearanced to boot.

Couldn't you just buy the Summerslam Dusty and remove the polka dots?
