Some even view an initial O-Ring offering as,"Proof S7 doesn't have full rights."

Case and point...


No imagination what-so-ever. His takeaway from this was,"O-Rings are terrible so just give the garbage to S7 so it can finally die a grizzly death."

Instead of:

"Let S7 create versions of characters in O-Ring form that collectors have never seen! Thereby reigniting excitement in a segment of fans that haven't thought about O-Rings in YEARS."

Hasbro puts up nothing but, a license extension (like they ALWAYS PLANNED ON DOING) and reaps benefits. It's not the same old rehashes. It's totally different and exciting. Yet this dude can't see that? Or you sees it and just won't just admit it because he's dissed the idea and said it would never happen for MONTHS.

I was totally OUT of O-RIng. But you best believe I'll be buying some of these. And I've talked to 3 good buddies that said the same thing. Toa, you understand what that means, right?

His creativity is limited to ways to bash anything that is not Classified. It is not a coincidence he is getting ripped on every thread almost regularly.

You made good points about the reasons. Don’t think viability or lack of interest is even a factor. But Hasbro can now put its attention on Classified and reap benefits of o-ring chatter and profits.

Cold Slither

Business suit Crimson Twins
Cadet Demming (CG cadet from No Place like Springfield)
Hector Ramierez
Raven
Blonde Cover Girl (and regular Sunbow Cover Girl)
Cobra Sub Captain (Not a Ghost of a Chance)
Sunbow Winter Coat Joes and Cobras, especially Shipwreck, CC and Destro.
Incognito Cobra Commander and Firefly (Cold Slither)
Taeko (Cobra Quake)
HondaLou West
Dr Venom
Kwinn
Plus the regular Joes & Cobras in Sunbow style looks (Flint, LJ, Destro, Baroness, etc.). Doesn't matter that some were done in 5POA style.

And of course The Viper.

This list is pure joy.

Great list. Sparks needs an o-ring too. I was hoping yesterday's announcement would've been something goofball fun like a Cold Slither pack for Christmas. Not looking forward to 9 months of speculators arguing about this line ... in an election year, no less ... but I'm curious if S7 will stick with the Sunbow looks for o-ring or make it different from ReAction and Ultimate if all three lines continue forward for the franchise.

If (for the sake of argument) S7 just redid wave 1 ReAction as O-rings, I'd for sure pick up Baroness, Snake Eyes, Kwinn, and multiple Troopers and Green Shirts. Probably Scarlett as well but I'd want to see her first. Destro and Cobra Commander I would skip or pick up on sale maybe.

For wave 2 I'd probably pick up everything except maybe Duke. Since Bludd, Jaye, Storm Shadow, etc. would be Sunbow style they are different enough from their ARAH versions that I would want them.
