I'd say most people upset with reissues and updates are collectors and not resellers.
If I pay close to $200 for a 1/6 figure I want it to be the best one available. What pisses people off is not that the value of the original figure went down but that you'd have to shell out another $200 for a superior version of the exact same character. Would you not agree that the $200 would be better spent on another character or something else you like?
Not everyone that gets upset is a reseller that's all I wanna say.
If you collect 12" figures to make money you're an idiot. Buy a figure if you like it, but only pay what you are prepared to own it - don't assume that you'll get your money back on resale. If you want "investments" go with limited edition statues. They are pretty much guaranteed not to be reissued.
The reality of 1/6th is that there will almost always be a better version of a figure coming down the track. Given the prices the Original Suit goes for on Ebay its no real surprise to see HT decide to do a variant.
