Yeah, but again, having more options in general is only a good thing. Otherwise, have a key pose in mind but can't do it due to not having a certain hand, weapon, or whatever? Too bad.

What's that? Didn't have any spare cash for the first release, but now you have enough for this reissue? Ha, sorry man, can't do that cool Ultra Laser anymore because we took it away. Pay a crapton in aftermarket prices or it's a no-go for you!

Granted, if you personally didn't care about the accessories that got nixed, then yeah, it works out great for you. But for many collectors like myself, having a reissue that only gets rid of things is bad because it would cost them literally nothing extra to just reissue the figures as they were.

Heck, at the very least with the "Kicks" line we got bonus stands in places of the other stuff that got axed. Not ideal, but it was something!

Reissues like this just leave a bad taste in my mouth, personally.
