Shawn Michaels. I don;t like a single Michaels figure. I don't think they got his likeness right in the face or body. Check out Basic 100 buddy. I LOVE that scan. The Austin from that series and cena had amazing scans also. I've seen it, buddy. I don't love that scan either. Especially the one with facial hair when it doesn't go with the chase attire.

Are you people even wrestling fans? Some of the things people are complaining about are things that make pro wrestling pro wrestling. If you are complaining about pinfalls then you literally shouldn't watch pro wrestling.

The last thing I’m going to point out, is that not all of us on here are 40+ I wasn’t an adult in 2010 how do I spend the money I clearly would’ve liked to have had but obviously didn’t when I was a teenager? I’m only a handful of figures shy from owning every single Mattel elite ever made since series 23? I believe? I started in 2013 technically but whatever guys I believe I reserve the right spending the money that I’ve spent on these figures to want an EXACT or minor rerelease so get off it I’ve paid my dues I’ve spent countless hours hunting and an ungodly amount of money on this hobby buying 3rd party sales as well and I’m tired of it I appreciate a lot of the support but I never once said rerelease a figure that takes away from a figure spot that everyone wants haha damn Quit trying to justify the things you want. You aren't at all in the wrong here, nor are you coming off at all unreasonable. There's nothing wrong with lamenting the fact that you missed out on something and wishing you had the renewed opportunity to get it at a reasonable price. I do it all the time. The demented side of the coin here is anyone treating wrestling figure collecting like some sort of d*ck measuring contest that determines how tough or manly you are based on your willingness to pay for figures you missed. That's a stupid take, especially from somebody who keeps trying to bottom line it by emphasizing that "they're toys". Should the ECW OSFTM figures be rereleased because their secondary market value skyrocketed this year? No. You should have jumped on them when you had the chance. And if your excuse is too young. Too bad. That’s life. You don’t get everything you want. That’s literally not how collecting works. Everyone needs to stop being so entitled.

Yes. That is a fact of life. But this is completely opposite of what the OP is talking about. You are arguing a completely different point. If Kassius Ohno is expensive because scalpers stole them all then that sucks (still too bad for those that missed out but sucks). The OP wants something that WAS accessible to collectors to be rereleased because it is expensive like 6 or 7 years later. That had absolutely nothing to do with scalpers. nWo Macho Man sold out and OVER TIME has become rare and collectible. Those types of items will increase in value. Scalpers didn't do that. Time did. It is too bad, but it happens. You found it, or wanted it too late. Either pay the money for it or don't get it. You can;t have everything in life. The OP needs to realize that and not be so entitled. Overtime it sold but back then not e retune was collecting who was now. Right... so nothing to do with scalpers.

Yes. It is their fault. Timing is everything. I completely blame myself for not starting a Mattel collection at the beginning. I loved my Jakks figures and did not like the look of the original Mattel figures. The first one that got me back in was Rikishi and now I am buying ones that I missed like an Elite 33 Batista or an Elite 3 Miz. You don't see me complaining or crying like a big manbaby like I need to spend a little more money to get him now. Do I really expect Mattel to reissue an Elite 3 MIz because I want it and it come out YEARS ago. That is just absurd. Anybody complaining about prices is entitled and expects everything for nothing. They are toys. Buy them, or don't. Stop crying. So again timing is everything If your online later than scalpers and miss out that’s your fault, bad luck, timing is everything Yes. That is a fact of life. But this is completely opposite of what the OP is talking about. You are arguing a completely different point.

It’s 100% different than scalpers. Scalpers take the product in its initial release and make it more difficult to find. I dont agree with that. But there is no reason to reissue a figure that was easily obtainable that people either missed out because they weren’t collecting at the time or waited too long. That is their fault. Too bad but time makes everything more scarce. But why does that bother you? Also, it’s someone’s “fault” for missing out on figures because they weren’t yet a collector? I can agree that it’s too bad, because there’s nothing you can do about it other than pay up if you want it badly enough, but I don’t think it’s fair to say “it’s your fault you missed E16 Punk because you weren’t collecting.” As if it was actively a choice that was made.. nah, just hadn’t found the hobby yet. Does it bother you that I have the HOC Kane, as opposed to the E12 Kane, because I wasn’t collecting back then? Yes. It is their fault. Timing is everything. I completely blame myself for not starting a Mattel collection at the beginning. I loved my Jakks figures and did not like the look of the original Mattel figures. The first one that got me back in was Rikishi and now I am buying ones that I missed like an Elite 33 Batista or an Elite 3 Miz.

This! This is spot on Contrary to what people like to think on here to validate their hobby these are toys. They are sold in toy shops and toy isles. They are not high level collectibles. They are not marketed to cost hundreds of dollars. But as stated, the warrior deal is different. They were not mass retail So by that argument the nWo Macho shouldn’t be re-released because it wasn’t mass marketed sold at a toy store or in toy aisles but instead was a limited figure sold exclusively on a collectibles website. Boom. This guy nailed it. Close the thread now. This is exactly right. Certain figures, like the nWo Macho Man were meant to be limited releases. Their purpose was to be exclusive. Therefore, rereleasing it wouldn't even make sense.

I’m all for reissuing figures The only people who are not are those who want to ‘protect their investment’ If all your concerned with is the cost of your figures and potential future cost are you different to scalpers who also view figures through the lense of $$$ It’s 100% different than scalpers. Scalpers take the product in its initial release and make it more difficult to find. I dont agree with that. But there is no reason to reissue a figure that was easily obtainable that people either missed out because they weren’t collecting at the time or waited too long. That is their fault. Too bad but time makes everything more scarce.

If your bank account is so fragile that you cannot handle purchasing three figures then YOU seriously need to rethink your life and career. Maybe they don't want to be stupid or a dumbass when it comes to their money. Maybe don't sit on your hands and wait around. Buy the figure when it originally comes out and there won't be an issue. If you only started collecting now then too bad! Serious question though. Is every single figure that goes up in value supposed to be rereleased because no one wants to pay "above retail?" So an elite starts at $19.99 and say in a two months it goes up to $30. Should the figure be rereleased since $30 is higher than $20? What about at $40? That is just ridiculous. THings will rise in value when it becomes more scarce. You can't just rerelease something every single time it goes up in value.

TNA Jakks/WWE Mattel did the same RVD I think Jakks did it better.

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 Big facts If your bank account is so fragile that you cannot handle purchasing three figures then YOU seriously need to rethink your life and career.

When you see the person lying on the mat, shuffling along on their back, actively positioning themselves, so that they're close enough for a coup de gras, elbow drop, splash etc. I hate this spot too. Whatever happened to the days where the person doing the top rope move would position the guy in the correct spot? I clearly remember Jeff Hardy dragging people close to the corner so that he could hit the Swanton bomb. Now it’s the guy on the floors job to move himself. Bizarre.

Interestingly one of my annoyances is the opposite of one of yours; I think the entire match should be attempt after attempt to win as quickly as possible. I'd have pin-fall attempts after nearly every move with kick-outs before the ref even counts one. When I was training as a wrestler in Manchester and we would put together matches or sequences I would constantly ask 'but how would this help me win?' IMO too many wrestlers nowadays have forgotten they're supposed to be creating the illusion of a competition. There are characters, of course, for whom it makes little sense to be trying to win because they are either sadists or masochists like the fiend or Mankind, or feuds where wrestlers are just interested in hurting each other as badly as possible for personal reasons like HBK/HHH or #DIY, but your standard match on weekly television should revolve around getting your opponent's shoulders on the mat or getting them to submit. That’s amateur wrestling. Not pro wrestling. If this were the case then there would be no story telling and no heels.

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. Nothing about this post is true.

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. He didn’t say WITH changes. That’s the whole point. How about you read before you call people dumb. The OP wants the EXACT figure rereleased. You want it with some changes. That’s totally different.

I can't think of one collecting community that would be okay with EXACT copy re-releases. Wouldn't the rerelease have different packaging? Wouldn't that distinguish it as a "2nd edition"? 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?!

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...

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.
