Most of you hate when we bring up re makes of figures we’ve missed from people like myself, that haven’t been collecting since 2010 but honestly I need Mattel to pump out another NWO macho man and honestly the exact same everything as the RSC exclusive would be great. Also an 06-07 Kane and lastly another giant figure would be dope! I’ve got every other WCW elite they’ve made so far and secondary market is awful #sorrynotsorry Or how about you don’t be cheap and buy the figures now before they go up ever more? I didn’t start collecting Mattel’s right away and I had to buy quite a few figures at more expensive prices. I am sure a lot of other people had to as well. That is how collecting goes. Sorry you got it too late. #sorrynotsorry

Bet I’ve spent more on Mattel figures than you, I’m also willing to bet you and all these other salty bloggers don’t buy every elite Mattel puts out And definitely complain when there’s one you don’t want/like so get over it if a spot were to be a re release in stead of some other figure you don’t want how about you keep being cheap and not buy all of them?! Hmmmmmm

“Release everything twice, release everything twice...” just another salty pants here huh? Dude I’ve seen you complain about figures in lineups in the past, so seriously what’s the difference? I’ve never seen you post that you buy every elite anyway so what’s the loss to you? for Christ’s sake at least I’m asking for legends re releases can you imagine the flak I’d get for asking for a current superstar release? good lord! Rough day today?

You can kind of cheat with the 06/07 Kane with the best of 2010 Elite.
It's the exact same as the Elite 4, just a lot cheaper because it's labelled 'Best of 2010' and not 'Elite 4'
I saved about $80 going with that one over the E4.
I'd like the see them re-release that Kane, mainly for the interchangeable hands. He could come with the signature pre-chokeslam hand (Pretty much the Randy Orton pose hand) but sculpt the glove on. Then include a Raw Tag Title (Could set up an 05/06 Big Show Elite with the other Title), or cheat a bit and add an ECW Title from his 08 run.

Sorry but I'm with those that say dont re-release an exact same figure. I've got some figures which part of the fun and enjoyment of collecting is knowing it is a rarity. Equally I have some I missed out on eg RSC Wolfpac Sting and Macho. Do I want a similar figure released yes - do I want an exact re-release no as it's not fair to those who already have it.
I think a release of a same era but different or tweaked attire figure is the way to go and a fair compromise

I’ll never understand how me getting a figure makes yours any less desirable. If you’re collecting Mattel elites for profits you’re doing it wrong anyway.

it would be cool if they did something like toybiz wcw. towards the end of that line they re-released a bunch of figures but on smaller cards with no accessories. i remember thats how i got a wcw mike awesome. toybiz also re-released a ton of marvel figures in their marvel universe line in the mid 90s(not that a lot of you were around back then...). and nobody cared about it because that made it easier to get figures they wanted from a few years earlier...what a concept!
unfortunately, without a store like kb toys around...i can't see this concept ever coming back unless the figures were made exclusive to like walgreens or something and ooooh boy, would people complain then

Mattel already got their money. That's how it is on eBay in the first place. Duh.

We definitely need another Macho from that era imo. Preferably with his caged Madness shirt. So not really a rerelease but a chance to give us a better/different B&W figure.

Y'all are weird. Maybe I'm the weird one. I don't even know what the rarest figure in my collection is off the top of my head...I can think of some notable ones, but if the lineup for Elite 90 dropped tomorrow and it was just rereleases of what I had, the only effect it would have on me is the potential savings of not having to buy a figure. I don't know how you can lose enjoyment from something by knowing that other people have it, too.

I’ll never understand how me getting a figure makes yours any less desirable. If you’re collecting Mattel elites for profits you’re doing it wrong anyway. These threads never go anywhere, but I do enjoy seeing the reactions. Some people act like a figure getting re-released is akin to their 401k crashing. If you're collecting mass produced $20 action figures because you are concerned with "value" or "owning something rare," then I'd very sincerely suggest taking a long look at your personal finances. It's great when collectibles have secondary market value, but unless you're dealing with high end collectibles, I've always viewed them as a sunk cost from a financial planning perspective. Not saying this is everyone, or even a majority. But over the years I've seen people ruin their lives because they didn't see the difference between a hobby and investments/savings.

Not that it should count as a re release but that elite 1 Jeff Hardy is one they should release officially in the elite line. And I already have the EG one but it doesn't do it.

There's a possiblity that we get more NWO Macho Man. As long as hes under contract, they'll eventually hit those attires.
Then again... we asked for WCW Jericho attires and never got those. It's up to you if you want to buy off the bay, or hold out hoping they might release some more.

Wrestling figures is the only collecting community I'm part of that the majority of collectors seems to vehemently reject a figure getting rereleased. All the other collector communities seem to not only welcome them, they want other collectors to have that missing piece.
