Im gonna correct myself, they need to re-release a King Kong Bundy but this time with the Brodus Clay body or a completely new body with a sculpted singlet.

They really need to re-release some older figs. Akeem,Rick Martel, hillbilly Jim,etc.... I think it's HILARIOUS that Akeem and Jim were rotting pegs when they were released but now everybody and their mother wants them re-released. Same with Sheik and Volkoff. They couldn't GIVE those away fall of 2010-Spring 2011. It's almost like maybe there are collectors now who weren't collectors then!

Jakks were the same way, but they didn't just re-issue every popular early CS in the line without differences (they did A FEW mind you). See, you want EVERYONE to buy your product. Including people who might have bought the original. Different colors, different things like that is smarter than just a straight up re-release in a business sense.

A handful of people being willing to pay $250 for a figure isn't the same as tens of thousands being willing to pay $30 for a figure.

imagine being soo discontent with your life that a re-release of a TOY gets you upset...
and besides, they're going to run out of gear to do with certain wrestlers, so they're gonna have to re-release them again; not to mention some gear like the Legends Rick Rude's gear was missing some key details like Warrior on the back of his tights

A re-release of Rick Martel is definitely amongst my top 5 wants. But there's so many options for him surely it'll be a pink or baby blue version with a different head sculpt. I'd prefer the blue ala Wrestlemania 6 with the jumper around the neck.
Akeem doesn't need a re-release, needs to be an elite One Man Gang! Maybe release a basic of him if he gets resigned.
If a re-release of Hillbilly or Bundy happens hopefully it'll be sculpted clothing. With slightly different looks. Ie Jim with red elbow pads. Not sure what else can be done with Bundy so maybe a cool accessory.

I hope they don’t. And what I mean by that is I hope they don’t purposely make something rare or decide to stop making re-releases for those who missed it or can’t find it. I have a job so I’m not worried about my collection having value

You had me until you said Sculpted Singlet It's hard to get Bundy's "Humpty Dumpty Egg body" without a completely new torso and body. And yes that might fare better with a molded singlet.

Eh, I'm not one of the ones that wants it like that as I DO think those prices are a bit crazy. I just want them to release them differently enough to give a guy like me who was there the first time to buy them incentive to do so again.. Hell, minor color change here or there to something molded to the figure or painted. Not just a minor hue or a new package. Like Elite 16 Nash. Do you guys realize that Nash actually wore quite a few different attires and versions? I'm sure you do. I want repaints, love them.

Not sure what else can be done with Bundy so maybe a cool accessory. Martel is a big want of mine as well, I am surprised we have not see another figure released as the existing fig is really hard to find and is very expensive. I would like to see a new head sculpt as well as I don't like the sculpt on the existing figure. I am hoping for a Strike Force Martel but if they decide to make another Model Martel then I like the baby blue with the sweater and sunglasses. Agree on Akeem, no need to release another figure of him- one is enough and even that is not needed IMO, I would have made the One Man Gang instead. Of course Akeem was a WWE creation so WWE probably forced them to make Akeem first instead of One Man Gang. I am not sure if we will see another Hillbilly Jim or Bundy (due to him being in the lawsuit) but I would go with molded singlet for him as well. I don't understand why the existing Bundy figure has a cloth singlet, I don't recall him ever wrestling in trunks?!

Do you guys realize that Nash actually wore quite a few different attires and versions? I'm sure you do. I want repaints, love them. Exactly. eg. I already have the Rick Mattel figure from first time round... if Mattel were going to rerelease it, then why not just release it in either pink or baby blue attire? Same figure, different look - the cost would be minimal and it would keep everyone happy.

Right now the only Elites Pegwarming at those 4 stores are the NXT Asuka and Rusev. And Asuka has Rusev outnumbered 4-1. And one store that my friend works at has at least 6 more of her in the back.
