Brian Flynn on GI Joe O-ring Figures Pricing

[@jjsheets330]

I personally have a hard time justifying spending $25 for a 3.75 figure when you can get a 6-7 inch figure for the same price.

Hasbro was doing them for $20 and the plastic felt really cheap.

I can remember my parents balking at the price of plastic toys in the 80s… the prophecy has been realized!

I am currently collecting the vintage line and was excited to see new Super-7 o-ring line, but $25 price point is going to make it a dead on arrival for me. I get there are costs, but price and value are factors I consider overall.

I find it very hard to believe, based on recent corporate behaviour, that any company would pass savings on to the customers instead of pocketing it themselves. I just don't have any trust in them doing that unless forced by consumers who refuse to buy them at a higher price.

You especially can't believe it when Brian Flynn is the one saying it.

It's 2024 and there are a dozen small start up companies making 3.75" figures with or without GoFundMe and at the high end they are $25. Now a major manufacturer sees this and thinks they chould charge the same? You just gave me 25 reasons to buy from the small guys. Reaction - $5, O-Ring - $15, Ultimates - $25. You're not getting my money Flynn.

Extreme cringe.
