What figures should Hasbro re-release without being retools or repaints?

[Hogun]

Now that Hasbro is cranking up the re-release game even more. What figures should they re-release as-is without any changes to the tooling, accessories, or paint? Not a blatant cash grab by Hasbro as it allows fans a second chance to grab popular figures they missed out on.

My votes are the entire Walgreens exclusive Fantastic Four figures. On paper, those are still my favorite versions of the Fantastic Four from Hasbro. They can either package refresh them into a 4-pack or re-release them in their original package.

Super Skrull wave Dr. Doom. That is the best Dr. Doom figure and if they remove BAF piece, I am sure it will still sell well.

Sasquatch wave 90s Cable. Same reasoning as the other figures above. Even with the upcoming version from the Zabu wave, fans would prefer to gobble up this one.

FIN.
FANG.
FOOOOOOOOOOOM.  <thunder rumbles>
It's there..........do it.........DOOO IIITTT, you know you want to!!!  🙂

I don't think any figure should be rereleased without being retooled.

I would love to see them re-release figures that initially were only in multipacks, I know thats more of a longshot since they don't have packaging for the figures but it could be easy. I'm being selfish here though, because these are figures I want to get personally Ha!

Hela

Dreadknight

Purple Man

Radioactive Man

Satana

Terror Inc Deadpool Suit

Professor X Rider

Those come to mind.

I’d be down for those uniforms again and not to poop on your wishes but I 100% think  they should be updated with the newer tooling they have today — not the Kate Bishop buck; not Thing’s long trunks; not Reed’s scrawny body and definitely not that very Human Torch 😬. Classic Johnny is still in my top 10 most wanted and I’m still crossing my fingers, arms, legs, toes and eyes that they’ll update/upgrade him in the best way.

 I’m with you for the most part,  but I’d scoop up a couple-few more of the same Hellfire Club guards if they reproduced them. And Blob, if he counts, because I let him slip by thinking he’d go on sale eventually 🙄. There are definitely others I'd like to see happen again, but pinless at least -- especially if those parts exist for the torso.

They should reissue Mysterio, Rhino and Electro from Spider-Man retro line. Not only they are pretty much close to definitive versions but they are also prohibitively expensive on the secondary market. Retro Gwen/MJ, Symbiote Spidey and Black Cat could work too.

As for above mentioned Fantastic four re-issues, I think it can be done far better as new 4 pack, Sue definitely would get benefit of Shriek's body, Johnny could work even better on RYV/DD body and Mr. Fantastic would look better on Japanese Spider-Man body as long as they give him interchangeable arms from Walgreens release.

I'd say:

Rhino  (Spidey Retro)

Professor X (Legendary Riders)

Fantomex

Colossus (2-pack) but I think it'll be released shortly

Purple Man

Santana

X-23 X-Force

I slightly walk back my statement and agree that army builders (such as the Hellfire guard, Skrull soldier, etc.) would be good reissues.

Hopefully Hasbro has F4 comic updates in the near future to coincide with their MCU debut.

Yeah, Army Builders should never be out of stock.
