I just know I picked well because nearly all of the items being re-released I'd originally grabbed multiples of for various display purposes. The only one I didn't get a second of is Power Princess... and this is only tempting because I know if my figure ever had some freak breakage it would be a massive pain to replace.

Well you better grab a second Power Princess when she goes up for pre-order.

Seeing some people melting down a bit over the reissued figures on Instagram. I dont understand this at all... its not like they are taking the place of new or original releases. Its just a new production run on existing figures. Great for people who missed them... better if your dog ate the first release.

It's because these collectors see there $100 on Ebay figure going down in price. I'm all for re-releasing figures that have got too expensive.

I am certain this isn't how they're doing it, but if I were Hasbro that would be how I'd determine which ones to rerelease/release as a single-card if they were a BAF. "Oh, it's over $100 on ebay? Time for another run."
 
Yeah, the people who are upset are the ones that are trying to flip their modern "hot" action figure swag. Modern figures just aren't great for trying to make a buck on. If you want to make money on toys, you gotta go vintage. Anything that's "hard to find" these days are only that way because the company purposely didn't make enough and they can rerelease them any time they choose, like what Hasbro's right now. If you missed out on a modern figure, just wait.
 
My kingdom for some mid to late 90s X-Men love.

I want a noseless, bandana wearing feral Wolverine.

I want an X-Men 2099 roster.

I want Mutant X.

Where's Mimic? Where's Skin? Where's Cecilia Reyes??

Give me it all!
 
X-Men 2099 yes please, for sure

Mutant X ... barf. That was the worst. I hated it so very, very Much. Howard Mackie can rot in hell for everything he inflicted on X-fans. He'd be the worst X-writer ever if Chuck Austen didn't exist...

Bamdana feral Wolverine sucked so hard. I'm sure we'll get that one as a figure but oof that design was rough and that overall period of the X-Men was closer to nadir than apex.

Skin yes, absolutely.

Mimic needs to be silver age, Beast body with Angel wings, orange costume and big visor. After that if they want to do the blond guy with the flavor-saver goatee from Exiles, then, sure whatever.

Cecilia Reyes seems like she'd be easy enough and not unwelcome.

You got Bloodstorm and you think you're entitled to moooore?!?!

I thought X-Men 2099 was interesting, but wasn't a devotee of it or Mutant X, so at these prices I'd probably pass on figures of them, aside from maybe Alex in an unmasked black suit. Don't need the black suit with the chunky anime red harness and gauntlets.

Honestly I just wish Maggott got a stoic head even if the glasses were built onto it, and gloved fists as well. I'd take Cecilia as well. Don't think I need any of Chuck Austen's run personally. I'd probably even pass on the New X-Men version of Iceman in his Hawaiian shirt and shades with the leather jacket and pants. I'd be more focused on a decent portion of the X-Treme X-Men, as I enjoyed that series partly for the fact that their costumes still allowed for color and traditional spandex looks.
