A retail toy is going to have to sell a lot more than 5,000 copies. That would be like 1 figure per Walmart store. Granted that seems to be more than they get of some of their own exclusives... But the demand from people who are buying the barge yet don't already have the alien is going to be miniscule compared to how many people need to buy that figure to make it viable.
I don't know if you can go by the size of the set as the gospel canon size of the vehicle. They would naturally try to build the set smaller than actual size if filming didn't require it to be actual size. The long shots showing the vehicle in full scale usually seem to be done with models or mattes. And other camera lens and angle tricks can be used to make the vehicle appear larger on screen when filming than it was built. |

Awesome man, I hope you enjoy it!
I’m glad for all Hasbro lines that this passed with flying colors. I was pretty confident it would get it’s 5,0000 backers but was not as sure it would surpass that by much. I hope this is showing is encouraging to Hasbro, for both SW fans and Joe fans for any potential future Joe offerings.

It's almost like people waited for it to fund before they pledged... and that's weird because they weren't out any money if it didn't fund.

Or, they might've been hoping Hasbro would relent and make it a cheaper retail release if this campaign failed. Now that it's funded, that's an impossible goal. |

But that's like saying you know the real color of Han's coat because you saw the prop. The costume may have intentionally been colored differently than it was meant to appear on film because of issues with lighting or effects on the set. It's a problem with colorizing black-and-white films, because costumes were often made in inappropriate colors just because they looked better in black-and-white. On the Superman movie, Superman often wore a greenish costume to not interfere with blue screen effects. And the costumes on Krypton looked very plain but were lit up to glow on set with lighting effects. The point is what's built on the set is not meant to be the definitive, final version. Movie magic is often used to change how it looks on screen.

This could be great for some GI Joe toys. It also will draw in collectors who typically don't buy GI Joe stuff, and it creates limited edition style of hype amongst the communities.

WOW! Over 8,400 with almost two hours to go. I admit I thought that it may not make it. I know some others stated here that not only was it going to make it, but that it was going to blow it out the water and it did. Is this good for Gi Joe? I do not know, but we will see. At least I am happy that Hasbro has opened another avenue for collectors to continue their hobby. So there is at least hope.
