Super7 Reaction: Apes, Hellboy, Pee Wee, Great Garloo, etc.

[LordMudd]

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:

Hey Chris,

We have a bunch of things were excited to release this year! I'm not allowed to spoil any release dates but the apes are coming!

Fresh news!

"Almost two years in the waiting. #shogun #super7"

[toothaction]

^ It is the debut colorway of the toy, yes.

[PNGwynne]

Yes, i was able to easily obtain Garloo. Is this their first Maria? (Makes me want Der Golem, too.)

[toothaction]

Oh, and I have and always will loathe exclusives.

I loathe them, too but I can't lie--I want Maria and the glow Starkiller.

It really depends on the circumstance for me. With something like this, a giant art and toy festival that people literally come from all around the world to be a part of, I think it's great that folk can find a cornucopia of pretties made exclusively for the event. When it's a marketing angle it is almost invariably suspect, trying to create a false commodity, but for many folks I know that are there sharing their creations, it's a labor of love and a gift of sorts to the fans that made the effort to be a part of the occasion.

S7 is a bit different, as they are a mass producer, but their roots are pretty damn indie, and without fail they offer up the loftovers online for us lazy slobs that couldn't be troubled to hop on a plane.

^ 2 cents.

I have the non glow Phantom Starkiller, and he's one of my favorite things they've done.

Exclusives for the fun going on in Anaheim this weekend:

Metropolis Maria Copper - 3.75" ReAction Figure. DCon Debut. $15 each.


Phantom Starkiller Glow-In-The-Dark - 3.75" ReAction Figure. DCon Exclusive. $15 each.


Ghosts 'n Goblins Gold Arthur with Japanese language packaging - 3.75" ReAction Figure. DCon Exclusive. $15 each.

Kinda wish I'd asked one of my friends that are there now to pick me up a Maschinenmensch, but I still think that I'll be able to get to sleep tonight.

[B-Lister]

I want a metaluna and mole person. I have most of the ones they did in collab with funko, so I'm in no hurry to do a double dip (even though they're new sculpts on the reissued characters).

Figures are supposedly available for preorder on their site, but when you try to put any of them in your cart it just tells you "loading...please wait" and never loads. I went round and round on email for a week with him telling me it was working for him just fine before he gave up and quit on me. He says it is fine because nobody else is complaining about it on Facebook. He runs the site so of course it works fine for him.

The website is working fine, there have been recent orders placed and not one other person has contacted me about having issues like yours. I tried working with you and offered another option to place an order, which you weren't satisfied with. If you change your mind and go with that option I'll be happy to help you place the order.

Zicas 3.75 Captain Action has been in development for years now. But Kickstarter backers are still waiting on the figures to be made.

Unlikely.

[Hedji]

Thank you. I loved Zica's Six Million Dollar Man figures. Their Captain Action is more 4 inch and deviates too far from the retro look for my tastes. Sort of why I wonder if a ReAction style figure would be a different license?

[LordMudd]

Same here. Is there anything preventing them from doing a 3 3/4" Captain Action? Or even 3 3/4" figures inspired by classic Mego WGSH designs?

Zica has a Captain Action 3.75 inch line you can order on line now, if you can make their site work!
