Brian Flynn and Super 7's wacky price point and Snarf Review.

[@joeyr.cannoli]

As long as people continue to buy their overpriced figures, regardless of the justified outrage on never ending QC issues, they will keep making them. Thats all it comes down to. Learned behavior continues due to us grown men with zero restraint.

[@Toygains]

This is true. Although I can't foresee all these companies surviving this year.

[@sv3622]

But... but... Mongor. Gotta have it.

[@poboxchristmas380]

the only thing that really hinders any real change happening is the fanboy mentality, I'm glad you mentioned that. We are the CUSTOMERS, some people forget that. As a fan, I should be able to brag about how great Bebop is AND complain about what a letdown Andre the Giant was or how Snarf is overpriced without some happy camper superfan calling me toxic or a "hater". More people need to call these toy companies out, it's our money we're spending.

[@Toygains]

Absolutely. Not every figure is equal.

[@miragexl007]

Yep...just not paying prices now. Unless snarf goes in sale...I'll just miss him from the Main set

[@Toygains]

Same

[@CliffOnComics]

Another great thoughtful review 👍🏻

[@Toygains]

Thanks Cliff!

[@kyleholder3785]

from what i've read they produce super low quantities in comparison to other "boutique" companies. like bare minimum to even get a contract with a factory. thundercats is never gonna be popular enough to get mass retail quantities so they're ordering just enough to get out the door and most of the markup is from the factory end. at least that's my guess.

[@Toygains]

Taking all that into consideration. And I believe it. Figure out a way to keep the cost down.

[@kyleholder3785]

@@Toygainsyeah don't hold your breath on that. only way to get costs down is for a bigger company to do it. sell the license to neca or send it back to mattel. say goodbye to getting anything but main characters tho.

[@salvation7362]

In Canada Super 7 figures are $74.99-$79.99 if you pre-order or manage to grab them at release and before the inevitable scalper markup. Who can collect a wave, let a alone an entire line, with figures costing $90 each after taxes... over a hundred with delivery. I like the look of their figures but I could never justify getting into a line with that kind of cost per figure.

[@Toygains]

Wow that's insane.

[@sunnyshine2215]

I’m super annoyed that the Disney Ultimates line is dead! When it had so much potential

[@Atrox-Veritas]

With the same logic they should sell Mumm-Ra also for $55, but no... he is only a head taller and the price is $75. I only wish they cost 55$ (50€) here, in Europe this figures go for 80-120€ (87-130$). But still, if you want to compete the group, you will have to buy him regardless.😥

[@jacobwright238]

Who makes the dragon ball figure you brought out?

[@Toygains]

Figuarts

[@Jayz457]

Super7 have subpar paint and figures from the 3 I got last year. I waited and got them on sale for half of. The I canceled all my pre orders

[@Toygains]

Me too

[@megagrey]

Even worse when you consider SNARFER is going to be stand-alone as well. Splitting up WilyKit and WilyKat was bad enough, but not having two small figures like the Snarfs come together was inexcusable. And yeah, Disney didn't go forward with continued licensing for both Simpsons and the basic Disney Ultimates. I was jonesing for that basic Marge to go with Deep Space Homer and replacing my Playmates versions with them, and was always wondering what new Disney characters would show up. Now all dust in the wind.

[@Toygains]

I wanted a classic Bart bad. Might overpay for an old Neca one. The twins not being in one package is absurd.

[@johndeburggraeve8318]

in Belgium the prices are 80$ and more up to even 110$ pretty crazy

[@Toygains]

Insane. Can't see buying any at those prices.

[@NerdAffiliated]

Lol you said it, not me, in regards the interviews he’s doing.

[@weeold]

See hasbro sometimes do stuff like this with smaller figures thinking like Rocket, Howard the duck, Spider-Ham but usually they are packed in with biggest baf parts possibly even bit more accessories too but still bit crazy how much smaller figures are same price as rest of the line

[@Toygains]

Makes no sense

[@pedroalmeida3474]

The tooling costs money, not the plastic, but they are ALL way expensive... just wait for the sale.

[@JeremyDineen-u9e]

i wish they would start teasing some 2003 TMNT figures, i don't know what for they are waiting for.. I hope the Shredder is in the first wave

[@Toygains]

I forgot they even got that line.

[@happiaxxident]

Drop Snarf and the tail in hot water for a few seconds and that tail swap will be butter.

[@jacobniehaus]

Thank god someone else called out all the soft ball questions that Super7 gets in interviews. It’s shocking this isn’t a $20 figure.

[@Toygains]

I know someone who made a deal with Super 7 to get these at 12.50 a piece just so he can actually sell them at a profit at 25.

[@sorryalligator]

Lol killer argument within the first ten seconds: 55 dollars!? 👈 😆

[@Toygains]

I'm no mathematician. But something didn't add up lol.

[@vadoraid2517]

Beebop was $45. 1st tmnt wave. When super 7 had my attention. But with the new price points I’m passing. Especially when you pre GITD C.More guts (can’t think of his name) , right… mutagen man, at $55 but a week after release he discounts to $27. One ultimates I did pre are the the new silver hawks. The vac metal ones Brian said was impossible. Cuz his version, minus articulation, looked the best &. Are cheap for a vac metaled 6 in. And as for the simpsons , I’d had bought the original cast. And maybe picked up some side characters, I liked. But Flynn began the line with side characters “out the gate “. Perfect opportunity to give us a classic Bart…but no, he gave us the aliens first. Great looking but basically a statue, not a figure

[@Toygains]

Agreed. I've been wanting a classic Bart for a while. With a skateboard, slingshot etc.

[@supclever]

Was just thinking about this when they just dropped the young liono wave. You can go $10 to $12 more for Mumm-ra because he's a bigger fig. But won't go $10 to $12 lower because Snarf is a smaller fig. It's baffling. Like if we're going by their logic... that math is "Correct". 🤨

[@Toygains]

Exactly!! I almost mentioned that but I buy from bbts and wasn't sure of the PP. and look at Monstar! He's huge and under, under 100 bucks which admittedly is cool of them. But that goes out the window when a tiny figure like Snarf is near the same price!

[@NerdAffiliated]

It’s $55 because they’re trying to keep price consistency.

[@WiGgYof09]

Then why are larger figures 65 or even 75?

[@NerdAffiliated]

@@WiGgYof09 I was disproved by the latest TC wave lol

[@davidgonda590]

The twins snarf and snarfer should be a 35 dollar set

[@Toygains]

Or all three for 75-90 bucks

[@evertaum2010]

In Brazil we pay five times the real value.

[@TheBigBigSean]

Is that Rocky from the Mask movie?

[@Toygains]

Yeah Big Sean. I used to sculpt and customize figures. Now I just repaint.

[@TheBigBigSean]

@@Toygains Awesome! Love your commentary too. Subbed!

[@jorgevaldezcastro7872]

10 bucks?? maybe?? they should have added snarf as an accesory, and that´s all there is to it, he was an accesory on the show as that the way he should have stayed as.

[@happiaxxident]

I went for the core Thundercats from Super7 but Snarf, never cared for him. To me, he doesn’t exist. Saves me money and I’m okay eating just peanut butter.

[@Toygains]

lol well he's the orko of thundercats

[@happiaxxident]

@@Toygains Ya. Pass. No Orko in my head cannon lol. Still, I’ll take Orko over Snarf lol

[@NickDoobs]

People really need to stop giving Subpar7 their money. They've always been overpriced. Everything from Reaction to playsets to their cardboard halloween decorations. And yeah, the interviewers with their softball questions for Flynn are super annoying.

[@Toygains]

Absolutely man! This company really annoys me.

[@traviswilcox3472]

Peanut Butter & Jelly characters that are just meant to be together..let me think.. Like.. Toy Gains & Kendra Lust ?? Ha!…just kidding Angelo ;)

[@Toygains]

I think she's Retired! Things aren't the same in the toy gains household let me tell ya!

[@kaiserpr0728]

Mondo did the same with orko 1/6 $235 and is 6 inches. I bought it obviously I need orko in my collection and I also need snarf. When I paid orko I was $55 dollars for snarf is nothing. Companies are obviously using the nostalgia factor and thouse characters are essential is like missing cheetara, teela, copper kid ect. The mondo orko I think a fair price would be $100 and snarf $35

[@LRonHubbard-Lj]

I canceled my super 7 snurf and the kids I'm going to wait till the price drop

[@Toygains]

Smart

[@twohandedaxe1212]

Snarf was super annoying. I can pretend he never existed.

[@Toygains]

Lol

[@motuthunder1898]

I think on eBay it will be more expensive maybe $20 extra

[@dannycruz5446]

Lion-o & bebop were $45 ea. not $55. But whatever, i absolutely refuse to pay $55 for Snarf or any of the other smaller figures in the line.

[@Toygains]

Ahh. I think I paid 65 for Mummra? Which in comparison feels like a steal.

[@TwesomE]

I mentioned it before in other comments,and i will mention it again with monstar's throne price tag! Just a big hunk of plastic without a figure as a value pack! I think super 7 overdid it with the prices ALLOT! Check also the reaction series how much they charge one single small figurine which is only just as a representation from a retro character,not many points of articulation,not so much details! They are like the old kenner style figurines that were sold for kids and they asking prices close to 30 for one depending of the character you are going to buy! Why for something so freaking small so much cash?! Its like they don't want to sell or something,because face the facts after a while many ppl can agree that mc farlane toys makes really good detailed figures as well,but he has the decency to sell them in a logical price! What happened with mattel that had the rights some moons back from thundercats? They also made a really good job,why not mattel continued and let super 7 take this line?! It would be much better in the price tag section! I don't know if there is some kind of control to the market for toys,for how much you allowed to ask from the consumer,but if there is they should definitely have a word with super 7! But from the other side there's us the consumer that we must stop supporting them,because the thing starts with us the consumer and and ends with them having some around them saying only how awesome job they are doing in the process!

[@Toygains]

They are also going to charge for the Conan throne.

[@JBTMR]

Super7 just costs too much for that many QC issues. If they was $30 then yes I would buy but $50-$60 naw!

[@Toygains]

It's so weird man

[@JBTMR]

@@Toygains definitely! But then again every toy company is a “company” first before the toys! So it’s all about $$$

[@scottroxford5715]

I could never justify buying a Super 7 figure, overpriced, very little articulation, sometimes they come with too much and then not enough? Nah, can't do it, I would rather buy a Storm Collectibles figure or SH Figuarts, it's a shame because I like ThunderCats but I can only hope someone else gets the license and does it right. Honestly Neca would kill it if they had ThunderCats.

[@Toygains]

I'd love for Neca to get thundercats.

[@nybackyardlegend4]

Nah we don't say sorry nooe nope nope that little dude ahold had been apart of another figure for sure just like MOTU Savage He-man did when he came with Orko.

[@Toygains]

Orko in the origins line was like 18 bucks!

[@nybackyardlegend4]

@@Toygains I got lucky and paid $14 off Amazon one day because I didn't really want that Savage He-man but I did want Orko lol I only paid $10 for Sunman

[@seanmc7128]

Super7 is just too expensive.

[@WiGgYof09]

$55!

[@Toygains]

Lol

[@Hurricanelive]

I'd buy SH or Jada any day. I can't touch Super 7 with their terrible quality figs and terrible prices. Snarf to me would be a toss in fig with Lion-O or someone. The ewok looks way better at still a high price, the only way you make him better is with some quality soft goods hood. Even 30 I be... ah man... maybe Snarf at $25, I could do that. But 30 on up I need a whole lot to go with him, like a cat bed, a scratching post, a tiny rocket ship? Anyway, we know Snarf is the greatest Thundercat ever, just like Janine is the greatest Ghostbuster ever, facts remain facts.

[@Toygains]

I dig it and agree

[@GodzillaDvD]

55 Dollars?? 😂 Germans have to pay between 80 - 100 Dollars / Euros 😅 The Quality ist shit, maybe worth 20 Dollars if at all !!

[@Toygains]

Jeez

[@rumpelstiltskin5649]

Your analysis is off with a few points. #1. You’re comparing 3 sizes of figures that all had the same price point minus inflation. Super 7 has stated many times that in order to give you a big plastic figure like bebop for $55, they have to charge you the same amount for the smaller ones. Now whether that’s true or not is besides the point. It makes sense on the surface so we’ll just leave that as is. There’s your reasoning and the answer that they’ll give you. #2. You for whatever reason brought wicket in as an argument BUT failed to realize that Hasbro is doing THE SAME EXACT thing that you’re complaining about. There’s no price break on wicket vs. the other black series figures. They’re all the same price so your argument that Hasbro is somehow doing better makes no sense. #3. You’re talking about this going on clearance at some point…Good luck with that. It’s funny how people think that stuff will just be on clearance forever. At some point the new and “shortened” production numbers start to hit and those days of getting everything for nothing is over. EE is already sold out of snarf along with a bunch of the other newly released figures and they aren’t getting any more. Retailers how for the most part bailed on Super 7 and what you saw with all that other crap was just a result of too much being made and too many people buying it. I can assure you that you aren’t going to be seeing that going forward with most of their newer product, especially for in demand/popular characters.

[@Toygains]

I mentioned that wicket was overpriced. "Wicket while nice is overpriced as well but he's a better product". And at 27 bucks it's an easier pill to swallow. Just because a company says something is priced for whatever reason they come up with. It doesn't mean we have to agree with it. And while EE sold out of Snarf. BBTS has not. Which could mean a few things. But since I can be certain, let's assume he sold out because it's such a wonderful product. He is vital to complete the line so there is some fomo involved here. And in regards to shortened Production. Super 7's best days are over. They don't innovate. They don't improve sculpts or articulation. There's a reason the stuff ends up on clearance. And it's not because of over production.

[@kailee87]

Super 7 is lame

[@ahhhkillit9290]

Your channel randomly popped up. Good stuff, subbed. I like super7 but yeah thier pricing makes no sense. I have around 25 ultimates and like them but most aren't worth $55. I'd say $30ish maybe $35. We're the idiots paying though lol. BriN Flynn I have a love/hate relationship with. Sometimes he seems really cool and sometimes he seems like a pretentious prick

[@Toygains]

Couldn't agree more on the prices. At 30 they are fun toys. At 55 it's like paying for high end art. Which this is not. So I actually met Flynn at Toyfair and he was kind of a jerk to me. It was a very strange interaction. And I know sometimes people can be in a mood. But he went out of his way to question me while I was taking pics of their setup. Which is what Toyfair is all about. Also thanks for the sub.
