Super7 to make Micronuats

[Werewolf]

I wonder if these will be Reaction style figures.

Intriguing--though the ReAction treatment is so much less than the original toys.

Interesting. I'm curious to see what is actually produced.

I have heard through the grapevine (or, I guess, the Memberberries) that these will be 0-Ring. Seeing as the latest Silverhawks figures are metallic, I have at least some optimism for the project.

I heard they are going to be Reaction +, like the new Reaction 3.75" GI Joe figures they just solicited. So potentially much more articluated than the standard Reaction figures, and with O-Ring construction as mentioned above.

I've collected S7 stuff a long time. They get a lot of top tier retro licenses I really like. My warning is manage your expectations.

They still charge boutique prices even though they are no longer a tiny boutique company selling very limited made to order figures. When retail giants like amazon and Target along with all the large online e-tailers like BBTS and Entertainment carry your stuff you are no longer a boutique company. Their prices are much higher than comparable companies like NECA would charge. Their bare bones $35 DX Thundercats figures are the same price as NECA's Dungeons and Dragons figures loaded with accessories and premium paint.

They also have less than stellar quality control. My DX Lion-O had reversed biceps. Fixable with boil and pop but still annoying. My retro MOTU style Conan had two left feet. The first wave of their retro 5 1/2 inch MOTU figures had issues with their hips breaking. My Hordak broke and She-Ra didn't come with her Sword of protection. I'm seeing reviews of the new 5 1/2 inch retro Thundercats with some pretty bad paint issues and fragile weapons.

I'm sure they will look very nice and have beautiful packaging. Just don't expect these to be toys and larger figures like Karza will be very expensive.

Their obscene pricing is why I never bought their Shogun style Mechagodzilla. Gorgeous figure, but that price tag is an insult, when Bandai can reissue Mazinga, LOAD it with accessories, add new play features, and STILL come in at HALF the price.

I will wait and see what they look like. I wish we could get the Marvel Micronauts but it seems that is a dream.

[Werewolf]

They are 3 3/4 inch O-ring figures.

$20 undersized Karza and Biotron without original play features.

Well that's kind of neat...

The pricing isn't as bad as expected. They are more articulated than the standard S7 fare at that size, and cheaper than some of their offerings.

[TrekStar]

I never collected the Micronauts but these really look neat, I love the Serpentor figure.

[PNGwynne]

I ordered Baron Karza.

[powersthatbe]

I don't think i would be interested in S7's O ring offerings, I feel they would be like the "venom vs valor" line of joes. Maybe if they do Karza or Argonaut in their 7 inch line but they don't need to be at a premium price point as the quality isn't truly above anything Hasbro or Todd does for their 6 to 7 inch figures.

[B-Lister]

I'm just curious who the intended audience is for these.

If they are trying to win new fans over to the Micronauts, I doubt that will happen. There's nothing new or exciting about a nearly 50 year old toyline.

And if they're trying to court old fans, then they have misjudged what they enjoy. They'd much prefer a reissue line than some wild reimagining.

These will appel to a few, however, and I wish them success, as I'd like to see what the future holds, but these initial offerings are more miss than hit for me.
