it would be awesome if they were o-ring but I'm sure they will be 5POA junk
it is a step in the wrong direction as I loved the fact my G.I. Joes had better articulation than my Star Wars figures back then
my Target couldn't give away some 20 Bumblebees for $5

The only way this isn't a waste of time is if they do something interesting... kind of like how they did Alpha Trion in the Transformers line.

I'm curious to see what they'll do with the line.
Based on the other Reaction lines, they'll probably make waves of 6 figures.
My guess for the first wave: Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow along Cobra Commander, Cobra trooper and another Joe, Scarlett or Duke.

The only upside to these will be that they will probably be cartoon accurate designs.

They've done Transformers and Jem and the super cyborg BAT so GI Joe was sort of a no brainer. I want to say these arne't for me, but I'll have to see what the final product looks like.

Say what you will about 5poa, Super7 is doing what a lot of us have been trying to do with customizing, bringing all those properties into a single style/scale.

Me: " Super7 ReAction figures only have 5 POA. I'd never buy them."

Also Me: "Oh s*** ! Is that Powdered Toast Man!? OMG!"



Seriously.... i find 5 POA figures disrespectful generally speaking but i've taken a look at the ReAction figures available and i understand the appeal. Thre are *several* figures that look good.

Not $18 + shipping good but if i found them on sale i'd buy a few for custom projects definitely (looks at the MLB / NBA figures).

The first few series of Funko reaction figures were over produced and could be snagged for less than $5 a figure. At that price there is very little I won't buy if it's from a property I like or has a halfway decent headsculpt I could harvest for a custom.

I get they can't produce these and sell them for THAT cheap, but $18 for a 5PoA when Black Series and Marvel Legends are $20 on the shelf is way too much.

I can say this comfortably when the only Joe figures I've found in years was one Retro HISS in a dented box. Actually seeing Joe products on the self might be too much for my self control at this point.

Say what we will but Reaction fans love Reaction figures. If the company couldn't show Hasbro solid numbers this wouldn't be happening. I'll definitely be grabbing these for fun if nothing else. And I say that thinking the price tag sucks, but I'm also aware that Reaction is a niche company.

TNI is showing off a list of the projected releases. All I have to say is Kwinn!

Are the Cobra color variations skin tones? Is Reaction doing varied skin tones for army builders right out the gate when Hasbro has done it like... Once?

It's about damn time we got a Kwinn in 3 3/4" scale! I hope we get a Billy and Candy the balloon bear chick in the line too.

Well we've had two Kwinns and a Club Billy, but I'd love to see Candy and them too. I'd also love to see Honda Lou, Lola, the Jugglers, Paine brothers, etc

I'm a fan of Reaction figures.
Super 7 would be the company to give fans random "obscure" characters for their collection.
The price point is a bit high, but then again smaller company and Hasbro isn't exactly giving away their retro 5 poa figures either.

^ I must admit....the more i look at the selection the more i like them and understand the appeal. I wouldn't buy more than 2 figures based upon what i've seen but those figures are so niche that paying $18 for them is understandable.

Which seems to be the exact business model they are are going for.
