Ditto. I'd buy an o-ring of that.
Speaking of which... I realized today that O-Ring Big Lob is the perfect example of how to handle a modern O-ring figure. The detailing on him is understated - his head is over sized - his colors pop - his sculpting is clean and crisp. I never gave him much thought and I don't own him... but he's awesome. Plus, he goes for upwards of $450 on the secondary market.

I've been taking a dive into the current secondary market pricing. It's crazy. Everything is selling for mint nowadays... |

I've been taking a dive into the current secondary market pricing. It's crazy. Everything is selling for mint nowadays... People want to assign blame for the increase on many things, such as the Netflix show, etc- I can tell you first hand it was pointless stimulus and staying home. I was there... FFS, I still am. On edit: just checked out the link, wish I'd have caught you while still on a ME kick. If you stumble across o-ring stuff on the list in my sig, I'd gladly pay you half or more- that's fucking commendable, and I'm bumping your thread.

Something else I forgot to mention here and remembered after seeing the front page post about the ReAction blueshirt figures: There should be more Navy Joes. We pretty much just got Shipwreck, Keel-Haul, Torpedo, Topside and Wet-Suit (Cutter being Coast Guard). It'd be pretty dope to have a GI Joe sub captain with giant glasses like Bart Mancuso from Red October (According to John McTiernan the glasses were based on ones worn by some real sub captains) or a Navy Sonar operator like Jonesy, or any number of other Naval officers or crewmen. Alternatively, Torpedo and Wet-Suit in more normal SEAL fatigues would be pretty cool too.

saw this really interesting youtube video last night. They show how apparently a rocky gi joe figure was in the works. It made it to pre production before Stallone pulled the plug due to a rambo toy line also coming out. How cool would that be to have that actually come out! Apparently Big Boa was his enemy lol. I never knew any of this.

Duke v21, Flint v10, and Roadblock V15 look really awesome as well. Duke deserves a good release after that horrible retro duke.

Actually, I'd love it if Hasbro made a "movies & TV" O-Ring line akin to the Hot Wheels Premium stuff. Imagine GI Joe versions of Rocky Balboa, John Rambo, Indiana Jones, Jack Burton, RJ Macready, Ellen Ripley, Sarah Connor, The T-800 (& T-1000) Terminator, The Man with No Name, Dutch from Predator, Mr Miyagi, The Ghostbusters, Marty or Doc with Delorean, Michael Knight with KITT, Thomas Magnum with Ferrari 308, TC with the Island Hoppers Loach, Connery James Bond with DB5, Moore Bond with Lotus, Dalton Bond with Vantage...I'd go broke. I know this is kinda ReAction's wheelhouse, but hey, it'd be way cooler. |
