    Super7 Reaction GIJOE

    Reaction GI JOE figures are showing up on Target's computers.



    I've sworn off S7 because I hate their crazy long and expensive pre-orders but IF these are Sunbow RAH I will have to break down and get them.
    You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

    The prices on those Super 7 figures are out of control now. I picked up a S7 Phantom of the Opera for $17.99 last week, and while the painted art on the package is gorgeous, this is a $10 at best, and that's pushing it. Hasbro themselves are putting out wonderful 3.75" Marvel Legends figures for $10, with equally stunning card art. I would rather see they keep all of this in house and go that route. Seems to me, if you are getting figures into Target, you aren't "boutique" anymore and should adjust pricing accordingly. That's just my opinion. Maybe I'm missing something, but the figures now seem incredibly high for what they are, with only the basic articulation.

      I agree S7's prices are too high and I would have rather Hasbro done this in house. No argument there. But if these are Sunbow Joes I'm still going to get them. If they are Sunbow Joes and by some miracle also O-ring figures I will collect the hell out of them.

        I'd imagine they will but doing the most popular figures, Destro, Snake eyes, stormshadow, Baroness, cobra commander, Duke, Scarlett, maybe Shipwreck, firefly, and beach head.

          Especially since, with that character in particular, the card art is so superior to the actual figure.

            I sold all my Super7 Universal Monsters. The guy who did the card art sells signed 11x17 prints of the artwork for less than the cost of the figures, and you get the entire painted image, nearly half of which is cropped out on the card backs.

                I too would prefer the artwork by itself. That is far more enticing than the actual product.

                  Look up Ed Repka on facebook. He sells direct there.

                    I don't know who else is making the new Retro G.I. Joe RAH figures,

                    but I glanced at a Cobra Soldier on Twitter, and he was fantastic!

                    He came with a green bazooka.

                    They also had Stalker!, and he looked almost like the original, or better!

                    I think someone found the old toy paint, because it looks so good.

                      Those are the Retro collection Walmart exclusives by Hasbro.

                        Thanks very much.

                        I liked those action figures, Hasbro did a good job.
