Ken at Toy Kennections has a video that goes into more depth into each of these O-Ring kickstarter lines if interested. His video is only a couple months old and he found a couple campaigns I skipped. The Roboskull has a 4" o-ring figures. I thought they would make a 4" version of the 6" pilot and thus it wouldn't be o-ring. Turns out I should have looked for they do make an o-ring robo skeleton pilot even though the original one from the 80s was 5poa. I also skipped over Zica toys as they didn't fund and I covered one of their campaigns already. th-cam.com/video/VyE2CHU0FP4/w-d-xo.html
Hold up you're old enough to have had the 70s toys and the first line of Joe's under the Christmas tree? Was you like 22 that Christmas 😂😂😂 just joking
I do like most of those new o-rings, but the price still seems high to me for new o-ring figures. For example, I am okay with the price of a vintage vehicle being kind of high, because they stopped making them.. they are rare, but I'd be angry if they made a NEW version of that vehicle and automatically thought they could charge just as much or more for it, because the price of the vintage is now worth that much, that is not how things work. New stuff should be cheaper to get than the vintage versions! Imagine if you could do that with furniture? Buy a new ikea desk, sell it at antique desk prices. Does that make sense?
I’m hoping Super7 does o-rings of the other properties they have licenses for. I’d love some ThunderCats, TMNT, Silver Hawks and Power Rangers o-rings.
Yes! One of my questions is regarding the O-Ring format and whether or not it only sells to GI Joe nostalgianauts and military figure collectors, Or if it can cross genres and toy lines. we shall see.
Im not a NN nostalgia nut but 80s Joes was my first addiction. I was a mess because it wasn't till 86-87 that i earned an allowance and could buy as i wished, weeeeell by then the GOATS of Joes was already gone from the shelves. 83-84-85 was the greatest things I'd have ever seen in my life. Lost count of how many yard sales and thrift store junk I rambled through with no luck. I remember dumpster diving in my neighborhood in 1989 and finding an 85 Alpine with a broken o-ring. I spent a whole spring break trying numerous rubber bands and string with no luck and was on my porch staring at the broken o-ring in my hand and my uncle said you better put that washer back in the kitchen faucet before your mom tans your hide..... bing bong wtf lightbulb in my head did he say? Needless to say, Mom was calling the plumber with leaky faucets in the whole house by the next day 😂😂😂😂
I don't see this as an issue. People are already paying an upwards of $20 for vintage Joes that are incomplete, scratched and broken. The real problem is that everyone is collecting 6" now, so the demand for 3.75" isn't there, raising cost per unit. Eventually 6" market is going to collapse just like 12" figures did in the late 90's. Things ebb and flow. I'm certain 3.75" will have its day in the sun again. I'm hoping anyway. We just need the right line of figures to wow collectors and get the ball rolling.
@@whozyourdaddy i disagree, i think the price point is a big issue. I usually pay under $14 (this is with shipping - yes, they are hard to get that cheap, it takes lots of work) for vintage ARAH, but some do end up being more. However, that makes more sense to pay $20 for a vintage that they do not make any more and thus it's worth has gone up because of the rarity, than paying $20-25 for BRAND NEW ones. There should be lots of the new ones once they hit the market.
Brian Flynn of Super7 said O-ring was always something they wanted to do but it was always off limits per Hasbro but it came up as available and now here we are. I'm sure it's related to Hasbro's financial woes given they're doing business with Mcfarlane too. Flynn is also going to go o-ring with other properties, too. All from his last interview with Veebs! on Robo's Robo Don't Know channel (formerly of Fwoosh fame) No, collectors aren't going to get burned out on GI Joe Oring or otherwise. Super7's prices don't bother me given they're on the semi-smaller side and they have small production runs which is why they are priced higher. Their Ultimates are mostly great, and I have all 1,500+ Reaction figures that have been released so far, so I'm not too worried about their future with o-ring. You don't put out that much product (and also continuing to show up in both Target and Walmart) if you aren't selling well. The recent sales are all a byproduct of Covid lockdown overstock on the parts of the retailers online and collectors' purchasing habits returning to pre-covid ways.
This is a pretty uniformed video. You basically had no prior knowledge of the options out there and just took a cursory glance. You took 19 minutes to say virtually nothing. Once super 7 starts to hit, O-Ring will be back fully. Probably only about a 20 year window (max) that they will be viable at all for any toymaker. Once that demographic hits their 60s I can't see it continuing.

Damn! Nice new intro Mark. I cant lie, I will miss the old one, but I welcome the new one.🔥
thanks amigo!
Trying to find figures from series gone bye was like finding Bigfoot 😂 the interwebs was a revolution in figure buying

The prob is the 20$ to 25$ price tag…
agreed.

great comment. I'm interested in what other O-Rings Super7 have planned. I think there's a future, albeit a niche one.
O-ring 4 life
adorable
Your video is very good, very best quality, but the only problem is that your channel is not doing SEO, so it is not getting many views
This is a pretty uniformed video. You basically had no prior knowledge of the options out there and just took a cursory glance. You took 19 minutes to say virtually nothing.

Sir, you are absolutely correct regarding my video. Regarding your Super7 prediction... we'll see what happens. Thanks for the comment amigo.
