With the current trend of retro/re-releases looking to have no end in sight... What are some of your most wanted? What is something from back in the day you are really hoping gets re-released?
For me:
My #1: The TMNT 87 Sewer Playset. This was one of the most ultimate playsets ever! I got rid of it as a kid because TMNT was replaced by Power Rangers.
And although it was the 2012 series that fully brought me back into the TMNT fold, I have been on a big Turtles kick since during the pandemic.
I really want a new sewer playset. But all of the ones relased over the last decade or so have been 90% cardboard and I hated that. Playmates re-re-released the 87 Sewer playset last decade as a TRU exclusive. So they have the molds still. The 87 Sewer playset is a toy I would be willing to drop good money on.
#2: TimMee Ultimate Star Battle Spaceship I love action figure vehicles that can fit a ton of figures. This was one of them. Although a generic toy, it was still a lot of fun. The only reason I got rid of it back in the day was because it was so big and hard to store. TimMee recently re-released the Star Attack Battle Station, so there is hope.

My #1: The TMNT 87 Sewer Playset. I could second that, or I always wanted the Technodrome. It could happen since the Turtles re-releases seem to do well anywhere they are done. Or the giant Krang Android body too.

TMNT playsets would be awesome, but since they've been mentioned, I'll say a Masters of the Universe Horde Fright Zone since I never had it or even got to play with it as a kid.
As far as figures, Marvel Secret Wars in proper scale would be up there. It's either been tiny Retros or 6-inch Legends. I'd love re-releases with the same soft plastic from the 80s (which the Retros pretty much had but they were just so small).

I think would be the Arena Mexico playset related to the OSFTM mexican wrestlers, my favourite wrestling ring. 😁

Would love for Mattel to rerelease the Bravestarr stuff. I had all that as a kid. Specifically the Fort would be my biggest want. I'm generally not into rerelease stuff other than to get it so my kids can play with the same stuff I had as a kid, but Bravestarr is one of those things I played with to death and I've only gone back and gotten one figure from the original releases. I'd even be fine if they did it in the He-man Origins style.
I have all of the original figures, but I think it would be really cool for Hasbro to either rerelease Visionaries or do modern takes on them. I just want Visionaries back in the world. One of the best concepts of all time imo.
