G.I. Joe Reaction+

Oh, also saw the 250th Joes at Walmart. At least I think they were all there. Stupid locked case prevented me from seeing. Walked by the empty electronics register where several families were waiting for Godot.
 
Picked up Python Patrol Cobra Commander to go with Snake Eyes. His pattern looks like the inverse of the vehicles, which I dig.
 
Got a Tiger Force Snake Eyes at Target today. So ridiculous. I love him.

Woodsman Deep Six is so dumb I love it.
I see a pattern here.....

I HATE that they’re $25 now.
It just makes the extreme cherry picking I'm doing with this line that much more extreme. I'm not getting any of this latest wave at this price but I can't promise I won't bite under the right circumstances. Bikini Baroness from that one episode would be one example.

Yeah they are almost the same price as a Classified figure.

The problem seems to be that production costs are higher for O-ring figures (as a percentage of overall cost) than a current 6" figure. I mean even Bobby Vala has thrown in the towel on his planned O-ring line because he couldn't get the price below $20 (for the consumer). Which is his way of admitting, without admitting, that maybe Super7 isn't far off with their pricing on O-ring figures.

Problem is, I’ll still buy the ones I want if I really want them. They have to stop for me to stop. I don’t want to have passed and changed my mind later, when the price far exceeds original price. I mean, it could go either way, these could reach discount.

That's why I am glad I have switched over to 6" almost completely because I would be the same way.

The price also helps because if they could get them below $20Cdn ($15ishUS) I would cave a lot more often.
 
they have been sucking me in more and more. I want three of the recent reveals: Jaye, Zartan, and new Viper. I saw the Python Patrol Coco and Tiger Force SE and thought they make good book ends to hang on wall together. I’m just disappointed I didn’t grab Royal Guards when I was on the fence. Eh. One day I’ll pursue Cobra La. I have the Pythona when I do.

Thwipp!
 
Here is a quick tour of the Super7 booth setup and around the 3:00 mark we see the 6 ReAction+ exclusives for Joefest (and beyond).

The 6 are 3 green GITD Joes (Duke, Cover Girl, SE) and 3 blue GITD Cobras (CC, Serpentor, BAT):

 
Man, I spent a fortune between two Targets yesterday. Rivals Spidey/Luna and Punisher, SWBS fat imperial in winter coat, MotU Origins movie MAA, Sketchbook Skeletor, SW retro style ANH 6pk x2, aforementioned ReAction+, on top of online order for Fortnite TMNT. It’s a sickness.
 
I got the two Ninja Force guys, Punisher, and Spidey/Luna. Put back the Doom Trooper because I like to tell myself I have some slef control.
