Has there been any mention if it's possible that these Harley Race figures are still sitting in some warehouse? I can't imagine such a low quantity being produced unless they had doubts in sells. This is a theory already lol The lost/hidden/forgotten FB3 cases. They will make an Indiana Jones movie about it one day Starring Zack Ryder lmao Fighter HayabusaThanks for clarifying that. I'm convinced they're lost somehwere only because it seems like most Wal-Mart's didn't get them in stock.

I traded mine for a red triple h. You know what they say about a fool and his money.

They will rerelease it, but it's very silly to assume that something being priced high on the secondary market translates to success at mass retail. The elite scale ring, after failing at retail the first time, started going for crazy money on eBay. Wicked Cool Toys rereleased it... It didn't do great. Same with the SDCC Undertaker when it was rereleased as a DM.

The hard part seems to be getting the right number to the pegs. Too many Berzerker, too many Warlord. Too much time allotted for just 4 figures on 4 pegs, resulting in too many restocks of Earthquake and Typhoon. The latter two sold well initially, but they continued to restock those same figures for months and months and the communities in my area then struggled to absorb them.
Consequently, not enough Elizabeth, not enough Backlund, not enough Sherri, not enough Harley, not enough Steamboat, not enough Patterson. So far, not enough Monsoon to go around in my area either.
I hope they find a way to get the numbers right.

They need to redo Jake and Steamboat as well...Perhaps Jake in the greenish version of that attire and Steamboat in an Elite 2 pack with a pink trunks Macho (as opposed to the purplish trunks on the DM).

I'm glad your joke sailed right over most people's heads. If it's any consolation, I got it and it is one of the most clever posts in a while on here.

Would be smarter if they did They’ll wait until the deal with Harley’s estate is expired and then say, we couldn’t fit him in Maybe if he becomes available to us 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ Your dissatisfaction has been noted in multiple posts. Please try not to drive away Action Figure Attack the way others drove away Bill.

Indiana Jones was born in 1899, so He'd be 121 now

Im 100% positive he will be rereleased but somethings telling me its not going to be King Harley. I really doubt it will be a straight up rerelease of the same figure. This might be a good question for AFA but i dont know if he could go into detail of which version of Harley they'll be "rereleasing"

Its on his q&a thread. I think he said they needed another series to fill a gap and they went with a series of rereleases.

They need to rerelease that BAF Commissioner Michaels along with Harley, Steamboat and Jake the snake

I, by some miracle, found half of this wave (no Harley). I snagged the Steamboat and its one of my favorite figures. I really hope they rerelease Harley as the King. NWA Harley would be cool too though.

I'm convinced they're lost somehwere only because it seems like most Wal-Mart's didn't get them in stock. The WCW 4 pack took like a year and a half, maybe two? I know Bill definitely said, "don't bother looking for it" and months later it actually showed up in Target stores. I remember I bought one from Australia for $90 for fear of missing out, what a waste that turned out to be. Flashback 3 was out for maybe a month? I never saw the Fan Central 2 or SvS 18 Elites locally, but at least I can say I could have got them if I wanted. All I remember was having the lesser three in my .com cart sporadically and some guys in the East u.s. with some sightings and that was it. They wouldn't produce so little of anything.

I think an NWA Harley is a lot more likely than a re-release of the King. I could see the Network Spotlight line making sense.
I don't see anything for the others as being as likely. Jake has a ton of different attires that could be made. Steamboat was already a straight repaint of the Legends figure, and also has a basic in the same gear. I'd much rather see the green tights or a mid 90's airbrushed tights attire than the pretty bland white attire.
I think more of these figures got out than people think. All stores in my area received multiple shipments, but none of the cases even lasted a full day on the pegs.

NWA won't sell as well. I definitely wouldn't buy one. King or nothing for me. I really hope they don't release an NWA version before a rerelease. It would warm and they would use it as justification to never rerelease the King.

NWA Harley Race would be cool (for me anyway), but far from a ‘re-release’. It has no place in an 80’s era WWF display, which King Harley Race clearly belongs
Hell I would take a Vader manager Race, but again that has nothing to do with the WWF King version
And for those that say that FB3 Steamboat doesn’t deserve a rerelease, I disagree. That was the pinnacle of his popularity. Personally I’d love the ‘89 versions but the WM3 needs a widespread release (and a new alternate head with no headband)
The Jake a cool thought but I thought it looked horrible. I passed on it at least 3 times. Wish I wouldn’t have now, purely to go in a New Gen display, but the figure sucked IMO
