Man, I did it again and bought 1 cobra soldier and 2 sailors (I am ashamed to say I have too much). Toysrus is closing and the Super7 joes are super cheap with 30% off. No more cobra soldier left, but still some sailors left.

I miss shipwreck, I am waiting for the o-ring version, which they will release... Well I hope so!

Nice, yeah the closest TRU to me is closing (after opening in 2023) and unfortunately they don't have any ReAction figures.   Even the next closest one, which isn't closing only has a couple sailors on clearance, but I don't need the sailors.

As for sailors, I got the one from In The Navy, at least they are o-ring and not 5POA

If anyone is collecting the o-ring figures from Super7, how do they stack up to the previous 5 POS er... I mean POA's?

I collect them. They are fun, especially the fluffy. Man, it's so goofy to have it with the dreadnoks. They blend well with Joes and fun to pose. Nothing too crazy about. Hence, it's probably better to pick and choose rather than collect them all.

I received my wave 3. cold slither Zartan is by far the best of the wave. Strangely, I really like wild bill. He fits really well with Super's 7 cover girl and early joes.

I don't get the appeal of Big Lob at all. Does he get fan service just because he didn't have a figure back in the day?
Aesthetics - he's boring, personality - none.
I know its cartoon movie based but still. EASY pass.
Curious that his jersey is number 14 (same as Bazooka) there must be a connection that I'm not aware of. Anyone?

Pythona - I'd be curious on how the hair looks at the back. Can she be seated in vehicles ? I'd buy this though.

Snake Eyes - I get what they were trying to do with Arctic Snake Eyes coat, but he' looks like he's wearing shorts. Pass

Destro - looks pretty good.  His head looks like a chromed Charles Xavier or Lex Luthor. ? Best of the bunch in my opinion.

They all look good, except for Snake Eyes.   Just like Arctic CC the legs look ridiculous with the attempt to mimic the bottom of the coat.   Pythona and Big Lob look good, but I think Destro is the best of the lot.

Shame about the price increase since the line started out at the $20US (approx.) price.   $25US (over $30Cdn) is an automatic pass.   Can't see this line lasting too long at that price when I think you get a better value from other lines at the 6" scale. 

I would like to see Super7 tackle another vehicle if possible.  Preferably something never done before, or something that could use an updated release.   Nothing stupid expensive though like their attempt at the Cobra flying fortress.

A vehicle would be nice... but something more manageable than a giant snake spaceship (cool though, but expensive and spacing consuming). A BET? Another Mass device? A cardboard gi joe pit? I can take anything at this point. Oring joes is just great to have and nostalgia is a powerful thing. Reaction made me appreciate my old joe collection again. ;)

Nice article on Mike T forgotten figure:
