What do you think of Mattel adding 1 or 2 re-releases or repaints to a series ? They could have 5 or 6 figures in a Series instead of the new norm of just 4. Adding back Roman, Cena, Brock as they were originally made or changing the paint apps some. Hasbro did that, it would reduce peg warmers as collectors would buy more.

If they don't take up slots that new figs could take, I'd love this!
Would love to see:
Warrior (new color scheme and one that Hasbro didn't do). Even though I hate thia mold, it would still be better than no other Warrior at all anytime soon.
Macho Man (NWO released body, but yellow/pink like his 92' WWF attire) and this could also fit as a WCW 95' version as he wore the exact attire in that run too.
Macho Man (like the green trunks one, but silver trunks Summerslam 89' attire).
Mankind (debut look, could just use the vest from the elite over body)
Ric Flair (any other color trunks/boots would work)
Undertaker (either grey gloves, or 95' version w/mask)
Rock (Rocky Maivia look)
Shawn Michaels (use the Jericho/AJ body to make a 94/95/96 period version and just use one of his existing basic/elite heads)

Also: Surfer Sting, again just use an existing head. And the Ryder/AJ body would work great.

I'd like to see a Retro Shield 3 pack or re-releases in Shield attire.

And preferably for me, 96' version after his hair went dark and grown out a bit. That's the Sting I remember and love from my favorite era of WCW. |

I don't mind Mattel saving a bit of the Retro budget on certain figures if it means the line continues or other figures get a larger slice of the resources to elevate the quality of those figures.
I'd be fine with them for example re-sizing basic or Elite heads rather than investing time and money in creating unique heads for Retros, and I'd also accept the idea of re-releases as long as there are some difference - for example I was fine with the two Sting releases given the major difference between them; even Kevin Owens, despite the second being much less dramatic, I still own both.
Ideally though you'd want the upcoming Macho Man release to be the model for future second releases, with its different action as well as the different era look.
