Giant Cobra Mothership! Super 7 O-Ring Vehicle Pre-Orders

[@2000sonydude]

WOW, if super7 re-releases all the same figures but in O-Ring I'll be buying them all. Finally, Hasbro allowed someone else to actually do what they should have done back in the 80's. I really hope they re-release all those Gijoes in 0-rings.

[@ActionRobotPunch]

Yeah that’d be great.

[@starshineraiser6729]

Yes, I’d buy lots of them, easily.

[@altarush]

This is awesome, I hope it gets funded. Unfortunately I have no space for something that large, but I'm jealous for you all who can dedicate space for it. I'm even more excited to see what they do with O-ring. It might not be as good as the originals, but as a collector of regular Joe reaction if they can keep the cost about the same I'm all in for o-ring versions of the figures.

[@ActionRobotPunch]

Yeah this entire project is really exciting. It’ll be neat to see what comes out of it figure wise. Thanks foxglove 👍

It has the swivels. Here’s a link to the Instagram of the artist/designer of the figures. In the comments he confirms arm swivel and full articulation. Just tough to see in pics. instagram.com/p/CyTWDpzOIty/?img_index=1

[@benjaminkitaura498]

Your so lucky to order this……it’s the Cobra version of the USS Flag…..nothing like this will ever be made again. If you have all the different flight pods it will look amazing the black and red one the gray camouflage ones and the regular classic version. You can even have the crimson guard guarding the main command deck doors on both sides.

[@ActionRobotPunch]

Yeah it’s really breaking the mold. Benjamin, I love your idea of different troopers assigned to different areas of the ship. That’d look awesome 👍

[@tooslow4065]

i'd rather they stick to vehicles for now. you can still buy vintage o-rings, or print them up. but good vehicles that fit modern or marauder figures are hard to come by.

[@ActionRobotPunch]

Yeah I think the mothership is the focus. The o-ring figures seem more to show that vintage will work with this vehicle play set. Thanks for watching.

[@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal]

[@crazyadventuresandreviews]

It looks cool but would rather have a reissue of cobra dome but change it up a little.

[@ActionRobotPunch]

That would be cool but I love that this is a big vehicle and moves. Cobra needs a mobile base so Gi Joe can’t pin them down. Thanks for watching

[@Gijoeandstarwarsguy]

I think this is really great, but i have to bring up some points. For me, money is not a problem, however the value proposition indeed is. The boutique price model on something this large combined with hammering us with that 100 dollar shipping and additional shipping on figures brings this into absurdity levels. I may order a 2 pack of o ring figures alone, but i can easily model and create my own ship, figures, and everything and do it wonderfully. My cart came out to well over 800 us dollars because i wanted 2 packs of figures. The shipping, tax and base costs are a bit absurd!

[@ActionRobotPunch]

That shipping charge stopped me in my tracks when ordering. I was settled on paying the base price but I agree, that $100 flat rate, no matter where you live, comes as a big shock. Thanks for watching.

[@barrylennon7546]

[@crossbones13]

Great video. Thanks for all the details. I pre-ordered the Mother ship only (don't really need the figures) but it would have been nice to choose to have both included figures either o-ring or Reaction-style (I would prefer o-ring style only). If this gets funded (and all tiers unlocked), I would like some future projects to be other unproduced Cobra vehicles like the black jumbo jet with the Cobra cockpit head seen in a couple of episodes and the giant Cobra Snake robot/stone idol 2-pack from M.A.S.S. Device mini-series.

[@ActionRobotPunch]

Awesome! Yeah that's a good idea. I would have gotten two o-rings then for sure. More unproduced vehicles like that idol would be awesome. Thanks for watching.

It's a cool set, and I would like it, but its not 500 plus 100 for shipping cool. If they could have produced it was 200 I would be in for sure. It's possible that they could do that o-ring figure because it wasn't originally a figure in the line.

[@ActionRobotPunch]

Not sure. They must have worked something out with Hasbro? There was a talk at nycc today but haven’t heard what it covered.

[@georgetrapp6666]

Would it fit the original, or the 25th Anniversary and onward figures? I really hate ReAction figures.

Too bad they are doing the O-rings, instead of making vehicles for the more recent 3.75" lines.

Good luck Super-7, you're gonna need it.

Sorta like going to a Concert for a Band you like. Yeah, you know the Beer is watered down and it's definitely pricey, but you drink it anyways becasue "HEY!" that band might never come back there again. You stop at the tables to see their wears that they are hawking, and go "Yeah, a plain Tshirt is about $5 maybe $10 for a "Quality" one, and the Band wants $25-30 for one with their Tour on it, ok, I'll buy one, to commemorate and memorialize the night" BUT This isn't any Concert, nope, they don't want' $25 or even $40 for a stupid Tshirt, nope, they want $250 for it and they expect you to PAY their EXORBITANT price. They are relying on it, well because the band may never play again. This only encourages the next band to do the same or worse. Just look to Haslab for some of their Price Gouging Fleecing Operations. Rancor? Lightsaber? Poor poor Cookie Monster got no love Unicron barely made it and he was MASSIVE and you could see the technical engineering in him for the same price. The Razorcrest was cheaper and almost as large and came with a fair amount of items. The GHOST was just as Big, more in it and it's going to be heavier with what they are doing - not that weight necessarily equates to value, but, it's the same price point. This is what these Shops/Companies rely on to MAXIMIZE their Profit at the Consumers expense. Not saying there isn't some one or more, eager, know the lore nerds and geeks behind the offering, that pour in their love of it, it's not them that's the problem, it's the Execs and Bean Counters, that rub their GREEDY PIG hands salivating at the thought of just How much they can RIP the Consumer off for, while calling it "Crowd Funding" to excuse their Profiteering at your expense. Oh, words like, Rare, and One offs, and Never to Be made Again get bandied about. They claim it would never get made otherwise, so use FOMO to drive the sales. Sadly, it works when it shouldnt. If enough of these projects FAILED, the price would come down to reasonable levels, and MORE fans and fanatics could enjoy it. It's a GREAT Business Model, and things are Booming.

[@joelflinchum7053]

You know if they didn't crowd fund this and sold it for 100 they couldn't make enough to keep on shelfs but better to insure they take your money I guess soon will just be in a line at the factory begging them for 20 dollar figures.

[@ActionRobotPunch]

If they sold it for $100, as you're suggesting, on shelves they'd only be making $50 (half msrp to retailer) a unit sold instead of $500. This means they'd have to sell 10x the number of units or 40,000 units. I'm not as confident as you that they'd sell 40k of these or that any retailer would agree to buy this and then stock them on their shelves. Direct sale to the customer with a minimum number of units ordered makes more business sense to me after running the numbers. Thanks for the thoughts and for watching the video.

That’s totally understandable. o-ring is my passion so for me it’s a no brainer but if I wasn’t I might pass. Thanks for watching.

[@despawn7663]

I too love the o-rings as well! But i put so much effort into Classified 6" line, i can't go back to collecting (except those figures i really love of course).@@ActionRobotPunch

[@starshineraiser6729]

They are not going to get close to 4k buyers in this economy. Stores are sitting on merchandise indefinitely, that would’ve flew off the shelf a year ago.

[@ActionRobotPunch]

I hope you’re wrong. I really want this mothership. It’s a long campaign and a lot can change. Don’t give up so early 👍

[@starshineraiser6729]

@@ActionRobotPunch I hope I’m wrong as well. I mostly hope that S7 builds lots of O-Ring figures.

That’s not worth the ridiculous price tag!!!

[@ActionRobotPunch]

It's been interesting to see all the reactions to price. No one seems excited about the price but some seem ok with it. I accepted it because I didn't think it was ridiculous but then again I really love the toy. I do wonder at what point I'd have said no, even though I have wanted something like this for a while.

I bet the Joes graffiti those Cobra Commander propaganda posters with mustaches and goggly crazy 😜 eyes.

[@ActionRobotPunch]

That’s funny 😄

[@account2292]

Sad to the them gouging on shipping. Greed sucks

[@ActionRobotPunch]

I wonder if the couldn’t have hidden the shipping in the price? That $100 does feel like a big hit when we’re all used to free shipping. Thanks for watching.

@@ActionRobotPunch Logistics is my profession. Not sure the weight, but can't be over 15 lbs I'd think. UPS contract price for ground service coast to coast would be $25.

[@BobDog72]

This is really cool but the problem I have is I don't know where to go to get GI JOES

[@ActionRobotPunch]

eBay is the best shot. I think hasbropulse still has some as well 👍

[@TheTraveler33]

I can't say I am impressed. The figures look horrible and the ship is very plain. I would have to dispute the idea that they put a lot of thought and effort into this.

[@ActionRobotPunch]

I think the interior details like the bombs, globe, cobra door and the awesome loading ramp took some thought and effort. I do agree that it could be cool to get some more exterior details to sell the giant scale, maybe like the millennium falcon? But I get that it won’t appeal to everyone. Thanks for watching 👍

[@debrajohnson9008]

Sorry that isn’t happening

[@ActionRobotPunch]

Sorry you aren’t backing it. But maybe keep an eye on things and keep an open mind. Things might change. Thanks for watching.

[@DbDb-pn4fu]

Man what is wrong with them no one is paying 495 basically 500 for a big hunk of plastic that doesn't fly come on do better this should be no more than 150 or 200 it's all plastic

[@ActionRobotPunch]

LOL well I paid them. I love this thing and hope it gets made. I would be happy with a $150 or how about we just go down to $50? Thanks for watching.

[@hughwright7225]

Is this a real thing this would be the crown jewel of my Cobra collection please help me contact the seller Colebrook Community please help me cooooobra

[@ActionRobotPunch]

Head over to super7.com Thanks for watching.

[@hughwright7225]

Thank you I'm just learning there's a community like me I thought I was alone internet 4 good. Cooobra

[@DeAngryDan]

This is not looking good , terrible numbers so far

[@ActionRobotPunch]

Not the kind of start you'd be hoping for. Usually there's a big spike and the beginning and end. I'm hopeful Super7 can adjust something and get the momentum going.

[@nerdragegr]

overpriced junk. should cost max 80$. I would never put my beautiful vintage G I joe near this ugly thing.

[@ActionRobotPunch]

At $80 I’d probably have to buy 3 or 4 of them 😁 I think this’ll be a great place to display and setup vintage joes. That’s what I’m planning. I’m not really into classified so this scale really appeals to me. Thanks for watching.

[@nerdragegr]

@@ActionRobotPunch who said anything about classified? I only collect 3.75 (1/18 scale) This ship is too plain, simple, ugly, wrong scaled and overpriced. Just because it's 3.75 (and we want things in this scale) doesn't mean it's good.

[@ActionRobotPunch]

@@nerdragegr I brought up Classified. I just wanted to point out that I'm way more into the ARAH figures than other scales or moderns. I love the detail and look and all the functions. It just hits right for me. But I also have some Acid Rain vehicles and this would not mesh with them at all...unless maybe I gave this a paint job and some chipping. That could be cool. But I can see where this wouldn't appeal to your aesthetics and other collectors.
