This isn’t really the same thing, but Bret Hart needs another Ultimate so they can try giving him some decent head sculpts, they’ve been doing him dirty forever and it’s about time they get it right.

Man this thread really separated the collectors for Monterey value and actual passionate collectors. I have UE 6 rock if Mattel rereleased it tomorrow I wouldn’t bat an eye, I would be really happy the figure community. Again for the 100th time….No one is upset or against Mattel rereleasing figures. What myself and others want is for Mattel to slightly add something to the packaging to differentiate between the 2018 and 2022 figures. The people that missed out on this figure shouldn’t mind because they’re still going to get the exact same figure. The people that paid $200 for the 2018 figure will still have a figure that has value. It’s a win win. Honestly thou the new figures will probably have 2022 copyright on the bottom of the box and the original will have 2018 so that might suffice this issue. “I’m not upset, I just want them to do a thing to appease me!” How can you not recognize what you’re saying as you type it out. You keep trying to provide blanket cover for others when there are absolutely people who are upset by this. |

It needs to be his black WCW singlet. It has yet to be made, it’s a different look because he had a couple of variations. One with the pink trim and another with the white outline on the singlet. It would also double up as an option for Survivor Series 1997 since it’s so similar. |

I just feel Mattel should slightly change the packaging so everyone will be appeased. Regardless of what Mattel does I’m not losing sleep over it. I just feel for people that paid $200+ for a rare figure and now with a straight rerelease their value in that figure will plummet. There’s also nothing wrong with a collector wanting their figures to be valuable….regardless of what some people on this board think. |

You want rare valuable figure go collect line from 30 years ago from a company that doesn’t exist and line no longer in production. Nobody told anyone to pay 200-300 for something that retails for 30 bucks. That’s your inner FOMO. Too bad so sad I hope Mattel rereleases every single high dollar figure so we the community into actually collecting and posing and enjoying the figure regardless of worth in dollars can enjoy the hell out of them. Peace. |

Peace. This - how someone can get upset at mattel for rereleasing a figure which was never stated to be limited edition is beyond me. It’s not unfair on people who paid £200 (over 5x the recommended retail price). |

Why would Mattel even care about the aftermarket value of a non-limited piece? It was never sold based on its rarity or collectability.

Peace. So let me ask you this then….Would you not enjoy the figure with slightly different packaging? If you open your figures and pose them then why would it matter to you if the packaging was different aslong as the figure is exactly the same then it shouldn’t matter to you. |

There’s also nothing wrong with a collector wanting their figures to be valuable….regardless of what some people on this board think. Not upset at all would mean you wouldn’t ask them to change anything for any reason. I guess you don’t realize (or care) that it would cost Mattel money to change the packaging even in a small way, and they are NOT going to do that. One last time, Mattel is not in the business of trying to make “collectors” rich. If you want to sell toys, OPEN A STORE. Mattel doesn’t want people reselling their figures for $200 because then that’s $200 that a consumer doesn’t spend on other figures. |

Mattel might change packaging if they were to make UE re-releases as part of a Best Of style line like Top Picks, but that might require a new subline SKU for a line that's already at a premium price point. I'd imagine they're just doing something like this to patch up the distribution issues UE 4 had.

Let’s say they did do what you suggest… I’m just curious to know, how would the original release retain the same value in your eyes? As we know, the figures are going to be exactly the same. So the simple fact that the same product was made 3 years or so earlier should be the difference in $200 compared to let’s say $70 for example? Doesn’t make any sense to me. |

Why does a Kamala Hasbro with a moon on his belly go for thousands and one that doesn’t only goes for a few hundred bucks. I agree with you it makes no sense but that’s how collectibles work. |

I’d love for the first Rock to be re-released but they’ll just say, “It sat on Amazon for months.”
So? I didn’t know that when it did. I don’t even remember if I was back into collecting again during that time.

I hope the rock series 6 never gets rereleased, making it the rarest UE to date and the value will go to the moon just like AMC stock

My goodness, we've got the New Gen Arena thread 2.0 going on here.
Hate to break it to you guys going back and forth for pages and pages now: the decision is made. They're remaking the figures. Regardless of if you're upset you paid $200 for it, or you got it for $30 and hoped to get a 10x return. It doesn't matter. Move the **** on.
I truly am blown away that people keep coming back to the Mattel board with all the crying, b*tching and moaning that goes on about trivial crap like this.
I am glad I don't have to drop $350 to get this HBK anymore.
