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? Yeah, it worked out well with Big Boss Man and Bam Bam Bigelow.It takes something away from collecting if Mattel will just redo hard to find or expensive figures, Ebay and other avenues exist for collectors who missed figures. It would be in new packaging, so people who purchased the original could still retain value. The new packaging would be obvious and different.
It takes "something away from collecting" if newer fans cannot obtain a sought after figure at all. This particular figure is really hard to find, almost impossible at a reasonable price.

And they don’t work, lost legends series proved this point, with most of the warming hard. Not in my area, these sold pretty well. Re-releasing has worked, especially with Big Boss Man.

There are characters with so many different attires or gimmicks that redos should be far from Mattels priority 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.
Awesome post, love the link to the one showing all the different dusters that Warrior wore throughout the years. I imagine that the reason we haven't received a lot of Warrior's with dusters is because of the amount of design on each one, it would probably cost a small fortune for Mattel to make them. Hopefully, some of these will appear in the Ultimate Editions line since its suspected to be a higher priced figure. Definitely need his WM12 and IYH 10 and SummerSlam 91 dusters. Would love one of the OWN ones as well; either Fall Brawl, or Halloween Havoc, or the one you have pictured above.

With Mattel embracing the new digital inkjet printing, I don't think it would be that expensive anymore. Granted I don't know exactly how it works, but I don't think they would need to make a bunch of masks anymore, saving them cash. Just pay a guy to make the coat designs as accurate as possible in photoshop, send the file to the printers, done. (haha, if only everything were so easy)

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. 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 Not sure I agree fully - basics are aimed at kids, no question, but I tend to think that elites are aimed towards collectors as much as kids. Much like Marvel Legends and Star Wars Black (I think that is what they call it). Just my opinion though... I will say I hope Mattel avoids reissues (they seem to have moved away from them). Take Diesel E16 v HOF Diesel. Gives those that missed out on E16 a Diesel... same goes for DM Austin and RSC Austin. Perfect way to get the belt out to everyone, without being a straight up reissue.

- I would love to see a Kairi Sane figure, Elite, Basic, Battlepack, I don't care at this point, I'd buy either one of them in a heartbeat, I'm just tired of waiting for one.
- A basic Jojo figure would also be nice, she's been with WWE since mid 2013, she's been RAWs ring announcer for over a year, hell, Renee got a figure.

Shouldn’t they just do the most popular older figs as store exclusives then? 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. No they should do new attires, they shouldn't redo any figures There are some exceptions to this (debut Kane you can redo forever, although they should’ve done all his attires first, but too late now) but for the most part yes, once a look is done it shouldn’t be redone unless the new figure is an improvement (like redoing Rick Rude with the Warrior deco)
