I VOTE FOR NONE
I seriously hope they keep this line going for a while but once it starts getting STUPID like some of the crap i have seen on g.i. joe.com or wait yojoe.com
then i will just "STOP" i liked these toys for the old school look i dont want to have a power ranger ass looking gi joe
if i want my toys to have all kinds of cross marketing i would collecting starwars (which i used to collect) until they went to POTJ and started making 400 luke skywalkers and 600 darth vaders han solo chewbacca's ect ect ect and now look u have a 7$ toy and they are all over the place... its junk while i see an ocassionally cool figure out there i couldnt tell you whats in any assortment because they RUINED it by making to many to quickly and suckiing the fun out the fun with all the 'varian't chases ect
I hope that this g i joe things doesnt go that way i would say that my 'celing price at retail is 7.99 and that is pushing it
for what your getting in this "TOY" it should go no higher than that due to the fact these are basically the same cardback, bubble, stand, and RE-HASED parts repainted and shipping in small cases of 8 pack by a truck.
not to mention they own the property and have re tooled the OLD MOLDS are setting up exclusives of the same damn figures and repaiting those and still charging you 5$ a peice (24.99)
I feel bad to for people who are just getting started because they going to be stuck paying 7 dollars for a crappy buzzer or serpentor LMAO
it also sucks because at 7 bucks a pop it ruins it for the customizers out there who have all these good ideas but now wont be able to do it because of COST. While making money short term... in the long run they are going to exclude a larger customer base because of thier need to 'raise prices'.
Hopefully it will all balance out and go back down in a few months because if it goes past 7.99 i sure as hell wont be supporting this line... because I collected some of the random spawn figures and just 5 years ago those were much better in articulation way more detailed and 'collector oriented' manga spawn/anime spawn yadayada
also I have something i could do something with as oppossed to g.i. joe its 4" and while functional and ya you can play with it the paint jobs are SHIT on about 40% of the figures.
I would rather save my money or put a 1-2$ increase... toward something better...
If i do give up i would just go collect something cool like Ben10...
easy to find... and CHEAP... even the new spiderman toys (animated) look cool and the size of VENOM is HUGE
its like 3 g i joes... aren't those like 8.99 or something?
