I guess I’ll buy Harley but I don’t really care for it, I’d rather have a vader manager version. Cool Andre but I don’t need it I think and same for Mankind.
The DM line will probably get me at some point

DM Mankind is very cool on concept. Wonder if he'll have a "normal" shirt as well?

So Harley and Bluetista are in a Greatest Hits wave? I only scrolled the video for the images of the figures, I didnt care to listen to the banter. I think E41 Lita would be a good candidate for a rerelease if only for the updated articulation and TrueFX printing. Paint the thong a different color, pink mesh top instead of yellow, maybe a zebra print on the plastic top. There are slight paint variations from the originals, right? Greatest Hits were straight re-releases with updated true fx and double elbows. I think the only major difference was Taker’s head. Otherwise everything was exactly the same. No, none were exactly the same. I did side by side comparisons of each on my Instagram page and they all had variation. I think re-releasing them is fantastic, but also appreciate the alterations to the rerelease so that the original is still, well the original.

Elite 4 Kane should be in greatest hits.

Was Foley ever not under a deal? We’ve gotten figures of him fairly recently. RSC Cactus, Rock n Sock, Superstars Mankind, Championship Showdown Mankind all came out within the last year or two. It’s the confusing part, but I recall it being mentioned at some point that Foley wasn’t under a Legends/merch deal anymore with WWE. I believe his stuff was even pulled/clearance on WWE Shop at one time. Then again, I could just be imagining all of this. It’s all a blur. Like you said, figures never really stopped coming out. He wasn’t under a deal a least twice during my time with Mattel alone. These deals end and new agreements are reached constantly. The Legends roster is an ever evolving roster just line the modern roster.

Bluetista comes with elbow pads now that's cool.
I don't recall anyone clamoring for the return of defining moments, what I did notice was people wanting ultimate mankind, so they give us an elite...
Gotta say that's kinda lame.
Watching people loose their crap for the value of their race getting reduced is hilarious with the upcoming and yet technically superior version.
Ultimate Andre is beautiful.

Exactly the same as in attire, accessories, deco, face sculpts, etc. Maybe some slight differences but essentially the same figure with modern updates. OP was suggesting doing a repaint of Lita making it a different figure than the original.

the best part about this reveal is finding out Foley and Harley are back in the fold with figure deals lets get ALL the Foley's we can, and I'd like at least another Harley Was Foley ever not under a deal? We’ve gotten figures of him fairly recently. RSC Cactus, Rock n Sock, Superstars Mankind, Championship Showdown Mankind all came out within the last year or two. I thought I remembered reading he didn't have a Legends deal anymore, but maybe that was awhile ago...I forgot about the Superstars Mankind though, I guess he must have been under it for awhile

Now when he resigned I have no idea.

Can't wait to get that UE Rollins. Love that gear, too. It reminds me of something The Rockers would wear in the early 90's. I thought the same thing. It reminds me of this gear they use to wear:

So what belt could come with Andre that hasn’t already been revealed? White strap Andre belt? Could be the belts that come with the E100 Andre's, only this time with a black strap. Or, they could give him the winged-eagle WWF title, maybe even do a new one that is duel-plated. Or they could release this one again, I believe it only came with the DM Hulk Hogan: You wanted them to save Harley for the Coliseum collection? I’d rather them do this because it’ll probably be cheaper. I collect Ultimates and would love to see him in that packaging. Price point doesn’t really make a difference to me. He could still make in the Coliseum Collection wave. His gear was a bit different than the original Race figure and the re-release. The tights were more blue and he had a jacket instead of a robe. Andre softgoods? Seems likely. I don't remember him having another shirt. Plus, the handprint on the shirt, and the way his hand is, kind of looks like the model used for the opened-palmed hands that come with the figure.

I LOVE that Rollins attire! Good choice, guys. My last Seth was that TRU MitB one, so this will be a great update.
Race being in Greatest Hits 2 is fantastic! I like how that ill-fated Flashback 3 has been mostly redistributed in other ways.
Andre looks nice, too. We've seen the iconic Andre before, but combined with all the heads and the new body and all that (and mystery belt), this is looking definitive.
Speaking of, Defining Moments was great at first, but towards the end it just became Elites in fancy packaging with a higher price-point. HitC Mankind is a highly requested figure, and the tacks in the back are an awesome touch, I just hope that there's enough going on in this series to justify the premium price on top of the mark-up for it being exclusive.

Bluetista again? WTF? Out of all the existing Batista figures to rerelease, Bluetista? What about the first two elites from the beginning of the line? I’ve been waiting for an elite from his 2006-2010 run since I started collecting in 2012. Maybe a lot of people have been clamoring for a Bluetista rerelease and I just don’t know. It has been like 7 years since it came out. It’s just that personally my collection has been hurting for a Smackdown World Champ Ruthless Aggression Batista since I started it. We’ve had so many John Cenas from that era.
Commissioner Foley is great. Now Harley Race, Ricky Steamboat, and Jake Roberts from that BAF wave have been rereleased, I hope we get that Austin again eventually. And I would love a Commissioner HBK rerelease, preferably with stubble. Stoked to finally get an elite Corporate Mankind. Not thrilled about the thumbtacks in the back, but the old dress shirt mold still exists, so a cleaner Mankind is more likely now that the other parts are in the spreadsheet. I actually have the basic Mankind with that dress shirt. I wonder if I could make the swap safely. That Ultimate Andre, I may get a spare and put The Giant’s head on it.

Really stoked for Rollins and Commissioner Foley. Mankind and the Usos are both cool in concept. Personally, I’m excited for Bluetista. 🤷♀️
