I respect and understand your personal point of view on this, but I can't remember seeing this one for under $100 on Ebay any time recently. This figure came out a long time ago, and the design work is already completed. Mattel could slap this figure in new packaging and make some money without any new design costs. At least newer collectors would have a chance at this one. I think it is one of their best personally. So because a figure sells for good money ebay mattel should redo it? It takes something away from collectig if mattel will just redo hard to find or expensive figures, ebay and other avenues exist for collectors who missed figures. Imagine if Aston Martin decided one day, we have the plans for the DB5 here lets knock out a few more, they seem to be selling for good money these days. There are characters with so many different attires or gimmicks that redos should be far from Mattels priority This And they don’t work, lost legends series proved this point, with most of the warming hard. DM undertaker also warmed. The secondary market isn’t the best indicator of what will see at mass retail. In face, it’s proven that it means nothing. And as stated, so many options for repaints that can be put out.

I know from personal experience I paid a mint for quite a few figures. Wm7 macho and warrior, pink and black Bret, dm hhh just to name a few.

Not the cash value, but that personal value of knowing not many people have what you do. But I don't think lost legends proved much. That was a lame set. Hbk was the only one of ever heard more than 1 or 2 people want. They could have done e16 punk, e12 kane, etc. And I think they would have sold.

I’d love to see a proto of the Nakamura figure we got that render for. still want a nakamura in fastlane/greatest royal rumble attire and WM34 attire and also smackdown after mania what he wears now I just want a Nakamura with the face printing so that he actually LOOKS like Nakamura. Both faces have been really lacking imo.

You’re not making a lot of sense. No, they should do no more redos, there are too many different attires to even consider doing the same ones. Not sure why you can't understand that

And as stated, so many options for repaints that can be put out. That line proved nothing. It had bad distribution to begin with and the figure choices weren’t the best. It’s also funny that the only non-rerelease in that series is the one that warmed and I can still find. Mattel make figures for kids. Rereleases will hope . They don’t aim towards collectors, so if it will sell..they will make it, even if it hurts your “value” of certain figs

You both clearly have one. Just move on if you can’t agree

There are characters with so many different attires or gimmicks that redos should be far from Mattels priority How many of those infinite amount of gimmicks are actually appealing to everyone though, not just a small portion of hardcore collectors? Why release a figure 10000 people will buy when they could release a figure 100,000 will buy?
Not re-releasing massively popular figures is a dumb idea, Mattel knows this because they keep pumping out Romans and Cenas. (oh, my bad, they have different-colored wrist bands, they're obviously completely new figures lol)
Of course, we're all just making up numbers, only Mattel knows what sells.
That said, those Warriors with a duster look badass! I'd be all over them if they were cloth because the stiff rubber jackets look like crap.

I can see and respect both sides of the redo argument. The lost legends series was helpful to me because it gave me the chance to buy figs i didn't have as I wasn't collecting when they were first released. They did not warm in my area and I never saw Shawn Michaels one time.
They should have at least repainted them though. How hard would that have been? Different colors for Shawn and maybe change up Kamala - unless they did, I've never seen what the first one looked like.
Kane is the one I've been dying to have and I am thrilled it's coming out. I think a redo of him makes sense more than any other. It's his most iconic look. People want the figure.
