This sounds about right, and if the thumbs don't break off after a few weapon changes, purist will say the guns are too soft too LOL

This thread was going nicely, can we please move away from who gets pissed off at what? This is always where the threads turn negative.
On the same note, while Delta 17 and Grindstone have these features, the swivel hands look a little bit less integrated into the forearms, especially on the female figures. I am okay either way, but the swivel hands would definitely add cost, and $19.99 for Super7 is still $5 cheaper than any of the small-company O-rings.

i cant imagine super7 doing swivel wrists if they intend to remake the original product's style. it'd be like adding extra articulation to their reaction gijoes - did they do that? im not a huge purist, so swivel wrists or not im fine. my main deal is "can i take this part from these super7 oring figures and seamlessly use them with vintage o-ring parts?"
i wonder if the plastic would be 80's hard plastic or the 00's RAH/reaction softer plastic so thumbs dont break. (not that it matters to me) |

Am I the only one hoping that this o-ring line will include figures already done in the reaction style like the nurse baroness construction worker destro and old lady Cobra Commander? I feel like those figures would be ripe for an O-ring presentation.

Like, I can't collect it all, it's just too much. If they start getting really silly I may pass on the "one-offs" like that. It's not so much the fact that they're funny or silly, more that they are kind of obscure? I like more "standard" looks, I don't need every possible variation (I don't even get the TF or PP variants in Classified, for example). I would prioritize ones that I feel "deserve" it more, like a blonde Cover Girl, or something like that, and might pass on stuff like that, personally.
