          I recently received a promo email from S7 about the Legends of Lucha Libre figures, which I am not interested in, so I sent a reply asking about the Ape wave 2 figures. Here is the response I got:

                  Too bad there isn't any sort of Santo figure in the Lucha Libre line.

                      Super7 Slayer "Minotaur" figure.

                      Next week, Super 7 will release a new ReAction Figure for the iconic metal band Slayer. The Slayer - Show No Mercy Minotaur ReAction Figure will stand about 3.75" tall, and will include a sword. The card back will feature artwork from the 1983 album "Show No Mercy". It will be in stock via Super7.com...


                      I gotta roll my eyes at this one. This rates right up there with Funko's questionable choices like Boondock Saints, Taxi Driver, Breaking bad and Pulp Fiction. It's parody, not homage, when you make figures that absolutely would not have been done in the 70s and 80s. It's like a 16 year olds idea of being funny and edgy.
                      You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

                        I know a lot of guys who are excited about this and that's what this is all about, finding the little niches and catering to them. Never a Slayer guy myself and it's an easy pass but I get why they made it.

                          To be clear, I have no problem with them catering to Slayer fans. They can make as many Minotaur and Slayer figures as they and fans want. No pearl clutching here. I just think it's real ill fit for a Kenner homage line.

                            "Minotaur"? That's supposed to be Baphomet, not a minotaur. At any rate, I'm a big fan of early Slayer, especially their debut album (they lost me after "Seasons in the Abyss") so I think this is cool and will likely pick it up. I'm guessing that someone at Super 7 is a metalhead, as they've already given us a King Diamond figure. Fingers crossed for more stuff like this!

                              Wow!! I love the Slayer figure!! I will get at least two of these!! I will probably carry one around in my jacket pocket, just because. I wish Mego would make an eight inch figure.

                                I think it's fine, fits right in with the other rock mascots they've done.
