Figure listings popped up over the weekend from the Target system for Super7's first wave of recently announced G.I. Joe O-ring 4" figures. The figures coming that were listed include the following:G.I. Joe Snake Eyes Comic O-Ring - 087-26-2539G.I. Joe Duke Cartoon O-Ring - 087-26-2825G.I. Joe Ramar Cartoon O-Ring - 087-26-0778G.I.

Guess that tells you the last time I bought a NECA figure LOL. Still, they're less than Super 7 Ultimates, and (in my opinion) look way better.

You are correct from my observation. Most Neca stuff is at least $35+, and the fact that it hardly ever, if at all, gets marked down makes it difficult to get them for less than that outside of maybe ebay. Still better than $55 though, which I think was the point of the original comment, I believe.
I did not realize this was a crowd funding campaign. I was under the impression that this was something that Super7 was just going to release. That said, I havent paid much attention to it since I dont really collect the O ring or 3.75 inch Joes. I know a lot of people still like small scale stuff, bit Im not one of them.

Especially when you got companies like NECA who can make a far more detailed and realistic looking 7" figure at $30/ea. Sorry but S7's Star Trek and Power Rangers (for example) look way too cartoony.

Sad story. Also, I'm still unsure if the future o-ring figures will be about the same price point as the ReAction figures.
I thought Super7's Lady Jaye looked great and cartoon accurate... until I got it home. The figure's heads look nothing as advertised. Unfortunately, there's a lot that needs to be reevaluated there.

You cant make SO many largely niche figures and sell them for 55 USD each; including Snarf FFS or ask 100 dollars more than the frigging HasLab HISS tank for this ship and expect success. EE just cleared.out wave 1 of GI Joe Ultimates for the price of a single figure. BBTS had that huge Ultimates sale -and it will happen again I am sure.
I dont know their books and overhead but I know if I am a retailer trying to clear out your products I throttle my future orders.
Well said. Nothing further to add

Not really surprised by this but, sorry to the people who wanted it to happen.
