Super7 Cobra Mothership Crowdfund

[canprime]

The Cobra Mothership is live!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:

https://super7.com/products/gi-joe-r...bra-mothership

$495US and comes with 2 Vipers. 1 ReAction Viper Gunner and 1 O-Ring!!???!!!?? Viper Gunner.

Looks like Super7 is going to be getting some license to make O-Ring figures now. I guess Hasbro has decided to license it out rather than just trying to keep making them themselves. Interesting.

Also 60 days to back, so start selling that blood and your extra toys to get the money together because it will probably be closer to $800Cdn.

Pretty nice, and big (32" in diameter).

Lots to breakdown here at a later time.

Also on the Super7 site they are offering 5-packs of the O-Ring and ReAction Viper Gunners!!

Regardeles of their 5 poa figures I'm guessing this might be popular, as people will want it to go with their 3 3/4 joes be it vintage or modern.

The numbers on this seem really steep. Despite it's presence in the cartoon intro, it seems like a pretty niche offering - and the backer numbers so far seem to reflect that.

Yeah early numbers make me think this won't fund.



It kind of seems like Super7 burned through the goodwill of the fandom with the Cat's Lair. Pretty much the general consensus was that the Cat's Lair was cheaper than expected.



The Cobra Mothership seems to be the opposite. The general feeling seems to be that this is slightly overpriced, and the tiers are too high, especially for the Trouble Bubbles.

I view ReAction figures as a mint-on-card product, so a playset doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

This might just be a promotional stunt to raise the awareness of ReAction Joe figures.

Sure why not:


272 / 4,000 (+272 since the first day) 6.8% of funding goal with 57d 17h left.

Update:


489 / 4,000 (+217) 12.23% of funding goal with 54d 19h left.


Well it is over 10% funded, so that is something. Averaged out is gained about 70 backers a day since my last update. Not bad, but with such a slow start, not good either. At this daily rate it would just fund near the last day. However we all know that this current average pace of backing will drop off the further into the project we get, and then the hope for a big bump in the final days.

Well, looks a bunch of international orders got added to the count

Well colour me surprised. I didn't think they would get that kind of a bump from whatever source (most likely international backers). Definitely changes the math on this and increases the likelihood of backing.


771 / 4,000 (+282) 19.28% of funding goal with 53d 20h left.
