>>6908872>No matter how many people may have bought them the first time around, there are always those stragglers who will snatch them up this time around.And yet of all those re-released 5 inch figures, the only ones that sell are ones that have an exclusive figure or accessory. That 10 pack was still readily available a year later, and some stores had it marked down as low as $20. Hell it was still available on the Toys R Us website before they stopped taking orders. The majority of the Walmart 2 packs also rotted on pegs forever, and were eventually clearance out.
Re-releasing old products in hopes of stragglers buying them versus making something new that the majority of your fanbase will rush out to get is a terrible way to run a business, and it's especially bad for a 25th anniversary.
