Why the Super7 G.I. Joe Cobra Mothership failed.

[@spacemanspiff3052]

I like that they attempted it. I hope they try it again. I won’t say the price point was ridiculous, but $600 total was on the edge of what I’m willing to spend. I would like them to try again. Honestly, if they got Hasbro to let them redo the USS Flag, I’d have done it in spite of the sticker shock. especially if they had a tier for a Super 7 version of the Sky Striker.

[@JohnnyRetro-yw5mc]

How much would you spend on a flag?

[@spacemanspiff3052]

@@JohnnyRetro-yw5mc I would spend $600 no sweat if Super7 made a USS Flag WITH Sky Striker or equivalent fighter (like a F-18 Super Hornet).

[@masterblastertoys]

A big thing was timing, right before christmas was a bad idea not much people have that much extra to spend. A lot of toy companies including Super7 all had their preorders arriving in Nov and Dec which took a tole on the wallet as well.

Compared to the Haslab Ghost it seemed unfinished and under painted. The Ghost was the same size at the same price

[@hotrodtiki200]

I agree the price wasn’t that terrible. I think where they failed was making the thing basically incomplete unless all the tiers were passed. So once it kind of stalled I think other people were thinking, well even if it barely funds half the stuff will be missing. A modernized defiant that fixed some of its problems would have done better.

[@JohnnyRetro-yw5mc]

A defiant would have been very interesting, but I think it would have been funded.

Super 7 per the license agreement that they have with hasbro they can’t make anything that hasbro has already put out in the past . That’s why all their figures & vehicles they put out are so obscure. That’s why there will never be a defiant or Flagg or anything cool because HASBRO already put mostly everything cool out in the past

[@JohnnyRetro-yw5mc]

That's very interesting! Do you have a link?

[@blissfairchild7194]

yes, that totally explains why one of the tiers included Trouble Bubbles.. because we all know hasbro has never ever made those before.

[@mikewilson858]

If Hasbro doesn’t want to make that stuff why not get licensing money from Super7 and let them risk their money making it.

[@BikoX]

Good stuff, totally agree.

[@JohnnyRetro-yw5mc]

I appreciate the kind words! I'm still excited to see what s7 does with the o-ring line!

[@NickDoobs]

Everything Subpar7 makes is wayyyyyy overpriced. I'm so glad collectors didn't back this project. Time for us a community to stop paying these insane prices.

[@Chupacabra1933]

Price and literally no advertising caused this flop for sure. That and the add-ons were lacking per tier.

[@JohnnyRetro-yw5mc]

They did a good amount of KZbin advertisng, at least I was getting served ads. I think they would of been better off flying in some of the bigger youtubers (IE- GDL) to check it out.
