I really dont see the excitement of moving backwards and re-releasing the old O-ring figures when we got better tooling and articulation nowadays. if you like the old ones, just buy the vintage ones. most of them dont go for THAT much and if you look hard enough you can find some good deals. I would really like to see the modern stuff keep going.

guess u havent been on ebay lately. prices have gone through the roof on vintage especially the really good figures like Storm shadow. duke. scarlet. all fetch between 40 and 80 dollars each... I see storm shadow going for like $80 quite often. and duke is always 35-45 dollars. Scarlett is another really popular figure on ebay.. been trying to get these figures for a decent price with no luck lately. wish I had kept the ones I had before when prices were cheap. which is why Im all for the rerelease

even guys that you dont expect to sell for a lot are going for a good amount. Ive seen eveb Bazooka and Dusty selling for over $20 easily. Shipwrech is close to $40 also. and stalker you will be lucky to get for less than $45.even cobra soldiers are going for $50 in mint condition and bats $45. Crimson guards are going for about $35 and Vipers between $25 and $30. Ive been watching ebay a lot lately kinda figured the averages of these figures. I think it has something to do with the toys that made us. back in 2005 when I first got into collecting GIjoe u can get almost any figure for less than $10 each.. even most of the ones I mentioned. now its almost not worth it collecting anymore.

Proven fact, o rings still sell, modern era still sell, 12 inch still sell.
Super joe.....failed Sigma 6......failed Sgt. Savage.....failed G.I.JOE extreme....failed It's time to look at G.I.JOE in a way that both appeals to kids, and collectors. And not that 5 poa bs that they've done to star wars, they tried and failed during retaliation. It's time to modernize and rework GIJOE. And if they wanted to give 1/6 a go then go both adventure team and arah. But if we go 6 inch be prepared for failure, as the brand isn't just character driven, it's a vehicle driven line, and I don't see it being cost effective. Look back at new coke.....my point is don't mess with a formula that works |

But if the demand really is new collectors, there could still be lots of room left for price growth. Vintage Joes are time bombs though, so I have not even dipped a toe into that market. |
