They should never re-release Harley Race. It wouldn't be fair to those who were in the right place at the right time and just happened to be in a location that was able to stock that set. They should be able to have fun and enjoy the fact that they have a figure not everyone was able to get.
God, what a dumb take. They're mass market toys for ages 8 and up.

Dude for real like I said at least I’m asking for a legends re release to give new collectors a chance and oh idk Mattel can get money in stead of someone off ebay.....hmmm Doesn't even make sense. Mattel already got their money. That's how it is on eBay in the first place. Duh. Mattel got money for the original release. Mattel would get money for the rerelease.

They shouldn't re-release Harley Race but not for that reason. You should have purchased it when you had the chance. Simply as that. I never found it at retail so I had to purchase it on the secondary market for $60. I forked over the extra cash. It is part of the game. It is collecting. Get over it.

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. Completely false. No community wants straight up re-releases. The OP is suggesting a re-release of the EXACT same figure. There is no community that would want that. You can release another figure from the era, or an updated version, but not the exact thing. Funko collectors would hate that as well. Book collectors, album collectors, and card collectors don't have this issue because they would be marked as 1st editions. I can't think of one collecting community that would be okay with EXACT copy re-releases.

They’ve had a lot of trouble with Randy Savage heads. A LOT. I’d have bought more if there were ANY good ones aside from E23. That’s why I passed on nWo Macho. I kind of wish I hadn’t now, but if they rerelease it I’d love a switch to the prison cell shirt. The Madness shirt was far more iconic, but the other one is way cooler. While you’re at it, use the E23 head and mold a bandana that will fit. There’s no reason to continue using the stoic Jimmy Garvin head, the smiling version of the Jimmy Garvin head, or the parted down the middle head with the goofy smile, none of which look remotely like Randy Savage.

I can't believe that some people are so dumb. Elite 12 Kane is still the masterpiece and people love that and we can not compare that to HOC Kane. Re-release is a good thing Hasbro does it and people enjoy it. for some people it is an upgrade and for some it is getting what they have missed due to any reason which we don't know. Those people are stupid who pay outrageous amount to grab that figure and then criticize the company for releasing it again. If u paid more it is your problem not others. I support re releases but definitely with some changes.

None of the figures he mentioned used the truefx so that would be tweak enough but they would probably do one better and throw some extra hands. And no, wrestling figures is the one community that is like this. Hasbro and NECA seem to get praise for rereleases. I guess this is where you come back with "well pizza Spidey wasn't a true rerelease because it was a lighter shade of blue and blah blah blah" just stifle yourself.

I literally gave you examples of another company/ community that doesn’t like it. And a true fx would make it different. If you actually read what the OP wrote, he wants an EXACT rerelease. Not an updated version. Reading helps...

Yes that’s my point. Albums and cards can do that. A loose wrestling figure cannot. So how are you supposed to tell the difference between the original and the new without the package? The fact that it “looks” updated. The OP wants exact rereleases. Why would you ever want that?!

You want it with some changes. That’s totally different.

Alls I’m saying is you guys don’t buy EVERY figure they put out regardless, so what’s the problem with the consumer (me) voicing a hopeful want of a re release figure wether it’s identical or not, on a figure talk forum!?

It sounds like you're just upset over the notion that something you paid x amount of dollars over the MSRP for could potentially hit the market again at MSRP. What a weird hill to die on.

i want exact re-releases just to watch people cry and have a meltdown because their precious TOYS would drop in value. it would be glorious That's basically where I'm at. I can think of 1 to 2 attires I'd like to see get redone at some point, solely in the interest of getting my hands on them, but if Mattel went full on Jakks 1996-1999 levels of off-shoot repacks, I'd be all here for it just to watch the world burn. Nothing as inconsequential as wrestling figures is worth getting this worked up over.
