4 pack of rereleases

[WCWThunderRosa]

There’s pictures of a 4 pack on Instagram and it’s really lame

Series 4 Omega
Series 5 Moxley
Series 6 Jericho
Series 6 MJF
Omega hands
World title
Barbed wire bat
Microphone

Four complete rereleases, wtf are they doing? Even just changing Omega and/or MJF would’ve made this worth it but they just straight up repacked four figures with slight accessory changes

[LA Times]

This only makes sense if its a mass retail release and not more than $50.

If it's an exclusive aimed at collectors or whatever, it's a travesty. However, if it's a mass retail loss-leader that they can reliably get into Targets or Walmarts, it's not the worst idea. Box Sets are an easy way to jump-start a collection, especially for kids or those on the fence.

Yes, but like, when you do a box set you’re supposed to make at least one item that is exclusive to that set. MJF, Jericho, or Omega in different gear would’ve been enough to satisfy me even if I still wasn’t the biggest fan of the item. Four straight rereleases is just insulting

Doing MJF in different trunks would’ve required only one piece of plastic to be color changed

[rkmo: Everyone Else but Me]

If it wasn't for MJF and Omega, I would say this would be for the ones who have the variants but not the standard releases lol

If this is a shoehorn to get the top names in kids' hands, sure. They can't persuade retailers to add more than a case at a time, and we all should be aware of the creeps who stalk the toy aisles and buy up the crap.

[WCWThunderRosa]

Well, to be fair, it will be pretty hard to scalp this item since it’s all been done before. Maybe that’s the idea

I agree. But I almost wonder if the thought process becomes even one variant attire would make them item that scalpers/collectors would go after, whereas 4 rereleases means that the only people interested are those who haven't been able to find the figures at all/haven't bought any. I definitely thinks it coms down to logistics of if/where this is available. Walmart/Target/Costco/Sam's Club kind of places would make sense for it.

Jericho in the red or blue accent tights or MJF in a different color doesn’t seem like something that would create huge scalping demand. Omega in the pink Riho tights or Fest 2019 attire would be different enough to make a demand but small changes to the other characters (who have several figures at this point) would not imo

This seems like a really cool idea for kids. I'm really glad they didn't put in some stupid variant to entice us collectors. We have enough, this ones a great product to sit on the shelf and make an awesome launching point for kids collections. It's not like these 4 are going anywhere so they can pump these sorts of things out ad nauseum. Good call jazwares.

I feel like this four pack is something I'd expect to find at Toys R Us...but TRU isn't around anymore, and the Target/Wal-Mart variety of multi-packs tend to have something to dangle in front of collectors.

Exactly this. Jakks used to do this back in the day with rereleases. It was just another way to get product out there and create a launching point for a collection. It’s a smart move. It’s not aimed towards collectors.

Yeah, this looks very similar to those 5 or 6pack Basics TRU used to carry, like when they had a straight rerelease of the entire Basic 1 in one boxset.

I misread the thread title as "4 pack of referees". Thought we had a new RSC exclusive or something.

But if I stumbled across this 4pack and it was decently priced, I'd consider it.
I'd like a new Moxley figure with the championship belt.
The price will help determine if I can rationalize getting it for the rest.

I’m not even mad at this, I wasn’t apart of the first few series frenzy & im trying to catch up without paying more than $30 a figure. I might end up with 2 moxleys but I know someone else who would enjoy that.

[rastlinfigures]

Easy pass for me.

[LK3]

Don’t like it, don’t buy it. If it doesn’t sell great maybe they won’t do another one.

Any pic? I'm struggling to find but I'm interested to see what the packaging looks like.

[kinnikuman]

Some of you clearly don't remember the Jakks BCA days.

I’m into it. Especially since the figures are insanely hard to find in stores. It would make a great present for a kid. A “best of” from the last couple sets ? That’s kinda cool.
Other ones could be like Bucks/PAC/Fenix or Darby/Cassidy/Sammy/Hangman.
It reminds me of the WWF bone crushing action line. It had ALOT
of rerelease multi packs for the sake of just getting more of the figures out there.
