Another interview going up later today. Probably will hear the same thing about Joe Ultimates Wave 1. They are on the water and expected to arrive at month's end.

Super7 is definitely enthusiastic. At $3.99 per point of articulation, based on $19.99 for a 5POA ReAction figure, an O-ring figure is going to be pricey.

I'm wondering...if they were true o-ring figures promoted right, sold very openly to the mainstream, could the widespread sales prevent the cost increases pricing itself out of hands? |

I've seen posts online in various places where casuals run over to big Super7 Joe displays thinking they're the return of o-ring, only to be disappointed that they're not...they're still kind of interested for the nostalgia until they see they're $19.99

Could be something in the contract that stipulates S7 can only produce a small number of figures, limiting which stores will take them. Hasbro still gets money off the licensing but S7 is never really able to "compete" with them. There's a thread on here from a week or two ago about why Renegades was canceled. Could be that Hasbro still fears too many lines will hurt the line.
It's just so puzzling we got those retooled Stingers with figure for $30-something, I think Hasbro just doesn't understand what o-ring guys want like they do Classified collectors |

That's the core of the discussion though, if Hasbro let Super7 take over o-ring entirely those stipulations would cease but honestly it's unlikely o-ring is ever going to return without something significant to push it mainstream

I'm with ya on the point, just thinking it's something in the contracts. Hasbro to Super7, S7 to Target, Hasbro to Walmart, etc. It's a matter of time before they find themselves in a Hulk movie situation (wanting to do more, but not willing to pay to get the rights back or along those lines). Maybe Walmart wanted more than Hasbro was willing to give and O-ring fans are paying for it.
Hasbro's got their hands full, I fully support them licensing out Joe to everyone possible, when you think of it there's dozens of licensed holders of Joe right now |

We'll see how that goes now with the Hasbro o-ring line difficulties (especially if the rumor the Transformers crossover is happening to double dip with those collectors since not enough Joe fans supported the new line), I wonder if Super7 did put together some test samples for o-ring figures just for proof of concept if Hasbro ever let them
