Just a reminder to everyone to buy things because you get enjoyment from them, not because maybe they’ll hold some value later. These are mass produced toys in the year 2024, not real estate or stocks or precious metals. Everyone saves everything now. Old toys were an investment without knowing it because your dads and uncles blew up their Gi Joes and didn’t think to keep them mint on card for 50 years. this.

It's as easy as, if you already have them, enjoy them. Save your money and buy something else. If you need them, great now is the time to not buy them for $100 at the flea market or Buddy's Toy Shop. For everyone evaluating the worth of their collection, remember that most WWE Mattels are mass produced, even if they were store exclusive.

Old toys were an investment without knowing it because your dads and uncles blew up their Gi Joes and didn’t think to keep them mint on card for 50 years. I personally don't care that figure are getting re-released, Jakks did back in the day with introducing several lines and the Best Of 200x. Mattel also did this in 2010 with the Elite Best of 2010 line. What is just annoying in my opinion that these were Exclusives back then, so they should stay exclusive. I think most of them weren't even released in that box? On top of that it could kill the 2nd market even more, not from a seller's perspective but from the other side. I would be too scared right now to buy any old figures, not because of the value decrease, but I could have saved money by waiting and will think twice about buying figures. Will get the Dudleys, have most of the others already.

Some of these faces are rough as hell man. HBK and Hunter look terrible. This set is great on first look but dive deep a little and it’s a huge miss imo. Really poorly done. True FX lacking on most of them. Kanes glove having the daft logo and the wrong boots is a hell of a shame.

ordered kane and got a taker for a friend
might grab dudleys later on. I want hbk and hhh too but I think it’s mainly nostalgia reasons because the e7 hhh was like one of my first elites but I never got the e7 hbk. passing on taker and probably cena too
this is basically another greatest hits line but I’m not complaining. 3 lines to get out older but updated figures is awesome

Does anyone know which series these were originally from? Loving the packing! Hardcore Kane was a RSC exclusive Cena & Taker were defining moments figs Hbk & Trips are from wave 7?

Hard for me to talk since I just bought two but damn I wish Kane were an Ultimate.
Hopefully one day.

Isn’t it time that stop rereleasing everything. Shouldn’t they want there to be some of their figures to be valuable on the secondary market and not go down when release them. It does them absolutely no good if they aren’t the ones making money.

Love this idea Ringside! Especially for newer collectors
Wait... does the Bubba and Kane come with updated arm molds?
Bubba was too big and Kane was small.

I have the original DX HBK figure still displayed in my Detolf, but I just pre-ordered this new version for the hell of it. Just another to add to my HBK collection.

So happy to see The Dudleys being released again. Suck it people on eBay selling the ape armed Bubba for +$100 😂🤣 SEETHE. Why are you crapping on people for listing their Dudley figures at that price? It is not like they scalped them. Those figures came out years ago and, due to demand and scarcity, the figures rose in value. That's how collectibles work. There's a big difference between selling Bubba at $100 versus selling the new MNW figures for like $80.

Will get the Dudleys, have most of the others already. The only exclusives we’re Kane and Warrior and Kane was/is still a RSE. And again my argument would be that people can wait for rereleases, but they may never come. Punk seemed like he was donezo as far as Mattel WWE figures were concerned, but now he’s back on the table. But he’s a bigger name and whose to say if they’ll ever make another figure of wrestler X, Y, or Z so buy what you want at your discretion. I just bought a loose Bob Backlund elite. Do I think they’ll probably make a better one eventually? Yeah if he’s still available for them to make, but who knows when if that will be. I also didn’t grossly overpay, but I did spend like $75 on DM Warrior and Savage at one point for them to make a better Warrior and almost a better Savage. It is what it is.
