If it's between a quality 30$ pony and a cheap repo like we got before at ~5$ a piece, I'll happily take the 30$ one any day of the week, as long as it's a well made collectible. Agree that a smaller production run, maybe with a company that's focused more on catering to collector markets would be ideal. Or online sales, skip the big box store releases since they aren't the target demographic for something like this anyways.
Remember that they also have to recreate any G1 mold they want to use, and we want them to do a better job than they did on the collector ponies or what's the point?
I don't think Hasbro can produce a high quality (like G1 quality) individually packaged repro for $10. Anything individually packaged is going to be more expensive than the 3-packs to begin with. I would guess at least $20 to produce something high quality.Remember that they also have to recreate any G1 mold they want to use, and we want them to do a better job than they did on the collector ponies or what's the point?
Bridge Direct can make a quality SSC for $10 tho and she is more involved to make than a pony. Tbh I really don't trust Hasbro to get it right which is why they should license it to someone that can. Bridge Direct also does the Fisher Price Classics which they licensed from Mattel.
