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 Hahahaha spiteful, I like it not spiteful at all. i don't have or have much interest in most of the figures that people want re-released. i just think that others act completely ridiculous when it comes to action figures. "wahhh i paid $100 for a figure so now nobody should pay retail price wahhh"

I also missed out on a lot of figures as well and would appreciate some figures being rereleased. But I'm sure they wouldn't be exact as true fx is now around. I missed out on nwo b&w macho man as well but if another version of b&w macho came out I'd be fine with it.

Hell yeah, re-release all the elite CM Punk figures. With true FX, yeah. Not the RSC, SES exclusive though... anyone who missed out on that, can suck it.

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. What I imagine Artie Kendall looked like reading this: Seriously pop collectors are the worst. 90% are just scalpers selling to other scalpers and killing off things like brickseek. And Funko knows not to rerelease those hard to find ones, they want to watch the snakes eat their own eggs and babies. But I guess some of those "rare" pops can go live with all those beanie babies.

Taker and Austin didn't sell like hotcakes, but they in no way killed the line. Sting, Maniacs Warrior, Jericho, and Cena killed the line. 2017 was a miserable year for that series, and I can't blame retailers for dropping it. I think they all ended up under $10 on RSC.

There was no fundamental difference and it warmed shelves for the full year before Warrior took its place. It came out in 2015 and my Walmart had them all the way to 2018

The people we used to deal with. Do you remember Sublime guy coming in every week looking for them? One time he asked Stephanie, who knew nothing about pops, if we had any Chase pops in the back. She went to the back and brought the guy some Paw Patrol shit. It was great. We watched his reaction on the LP cameras.

I once saw Sublime guy wheel an entire free bin to his car so he could unload it. He almost got into a fight with the Butterworth kid about some stuff in the free bins. I wished they would have knocked each other out.

if your fragile psyche hinges on whether or not your action figure is not special anymore because of it getting rereleased, it's high-time to rethink your life and your hobby

The only person talking about value is you, almost everyone who responded against straight rereleases said it was because they want new gear

Personally, I can't see a thing wrong with it. Same with E26 SS '92 Warrior - which warmed as well. Obviously people don't care for singlet Warriors. Pity though, because there's still some singlet designs they haven't done. Won't happen now, but I would've liked to have seen their attempt at that robot/terminator type design, that JAKKS did in the CS series.
