How much do think a Hooded Cobra Commander Comic-Con figure w/ an error worth?

Question

I recently went to Comic-Con and purchased 2 G.I. Joe Hooded Cobra Commander figures. These figures came in either a Blue or Black suit. All the Blue versions were gone and so I picked up 2 of the black ones. On one of the packages the picture of Cobra Commander is wearing a blue suit. So obviously an error in packaging. I'm just wondering if there is an avid collector out there with an idea of how much an error limited edition figure would be going for.

Answer 1

Packaging errors do not generally drive up the price of a figure, exclusive or not. There are a few times this was not the case, but to my knowledge it was a more widespread error, or a change in the toy after the initial shipments were made and delivered. One of the more notable cases for this was when the Star Wars Powers of the Force 2 line started coming out in the late 90's with light-sabers that were about 3 inches in length. A few waves into the line they scaled the sabers back to roughly 2.5 inches but kept the original packing for the longer sabers. Shortly after they had adjusted the packaging to suit the shorter saber, making both the long saber and short saber with long saber packaging more valuable to collectors at the time. However, as I said before errors on the cards are very seldom worth much more than normal mint in package price and sometimes are actually worth less because the figure isn't on it's own packaging. This is especially true if the error is not widely known. More often than not it tends to end up as an interesting show piece with little to no value beyond what you paid for the figure.

Answer 2

Ill give ya 5 bucks for it
