A MAGICAL Announcement From Super7

A MAGICAL Announcement from Super7!!!

Super7 teased some pictures of some of their latest Disney collaboration figures a few days ago on social media.We were expecting to see more ReAction figures but clearly not what was just announced by Super7 today. Here's their press release below with pictures and more info on how you can get these figures.

San Francisco, California – August 5, 2020 

What do you get when you cross a fanatical bunch of toy makers with one of the most imaginative brands on earth? 

Pure magic.

We are thrilled to announce the beginning of what we imagine will be an amazing creative  partnership between Super7 and our childhood heroes over at Disney. It begins today, with the launch of our first three Disney collectibles: a trio of Ultimates! Figures commemorating some of our favorite characters from the formative years of the Magic Kingdom. It will continue with...well, you’ll just have to wait and see. 

Ultimates! Figures are the perfect medium for our Disney launch. They provide an opportunity to serve up all bells and whistles; the ability to create something truly unique for both the Super7 and Disney obsessive fan. Our approach, as with everything, was to dig beneath the surface to find the spirit and the angles that allow us to make the toys we always wanted. The details expressed in each Ultimates! Figure are unrivaled; exactly what you want when you’re working with the classics. And the care taken to create each? That, too, is on another level.

As to who gets this very special treatment, we dove deep and emerged with a few that have always held a special place in our hearts. Ones that represent the Super7 way of looking at the world. Here’s the exclusive lineup:

Sorcerer’s Apprentice Mickey Mouse 

From the timeless animated classic Fantasia comes Mickey Mouse, in the role that captured our imaginations as far back as we can remember. We used that same kind of big dreaming, hustle, know-how and a little bit of magic to bring this little marvel to life. Our first Disney toy ever is super poseable and features three interchangeable expressive heads, interchangeable hands, two water buckets, animated broom, axe and the Sorcerer’s giant spell book. The Ultimates Sorcerer’s Apprentice is also dressed in a tailored, velvety-soft wizard robe with a real rope tied waistband.

Pinocchio 

One of the darkest, wildest, most incredible stories ever set to animation cels, Pinocchio gave us nightmares for years, and a hard-won set of lessons for the rest of our lives. The puppet with a penchant for tall tales and a curiosity for life reflected our deep yearning for adventure, and to fit in – perfectly telling the tale of becoming the person you’re meant to be. Super7’s Ultimates! Pinocchio is a super poseable action figure with 3 interchangeable heads showing his growing nose, interchangeable hands, his conscience Jiminy Cricket (of course), school book, axe, apple, Cleo’s fishbowl, Figaro the Cat, and a smart fabric vest with gold trim.

Prince John 

Truly one of the great cartoon villains, Prince John and his maneless, spineless monarchy is a masterclass in political mismanagement; one he pays dearly for. Particularly with Robin Hood stealing John’s resources any time his back is turned. The Prince John Ultimates! super poseable action figure features three interchangeable heads, interchangeable hands with and without the jewels of his rings, two versions of the slithering assistant Sir Hiss, a vanity mirror, and a luxurious, plush velvet regal robe with fur trim.

All three characters are now available at preorder.super7store.com. They can be purchased individually at $45 or in a set for $135 from August 5th to September 5th.

Once again, we’re thrilled that Disney has given us this rare opportunity to bring our point of view to characters and experiences that helped define our own childhood. We hope you like them—and we can’t wait to show you what else we’re making from our favorite Disney moments from film, TV, and Parks. 

Signed,

The Super7 Crew

ICYMI - You can pre-order all three characters at preorder.super7store.com. You can purchase them individually for $45 each or as a set of 3 for $135 starting August 5th to September 5th.

We are super excited to purchase these and can't wait to add these awesome figures to our collection!!!

Comic Con @ Home 2020

First of all WELCOME BACK to a blog that's taken a small hiatus. This past 6+ months of 2020 has been an emotional roller coaster of emotions for everyone. When the pandemic started, we started to work more and more hours at our part time job which was essential. The hours we worked were full time or even more than that if we could handle 6+ days a week. So many people were affected by temporary layoffs which resulted in filing for unemployment. This year has been nothing but a pretty horrible year. All if not most shows and conventions from March till now have been cancelled. So many things that can go wrong has pretty much gone wrong. From working so many hours and getting injured on the job to just being burnt out at work. It's really taken a toll on a lot of people and the fact that the pandemic is not over and the spreading of the coronavirus still continues. Anyways, during some time off work being injured, we're glad CCI decided to hold a virtual SDCC 2020 or as it's called Comic Con @ Home!

We really enjoyed the panels being online and you can still watch some of them on the Comic Con YouTube Channel. The panels being online is what helped ease some of the pain of not being in San Diego for Comic Con physically this year. We rarely get to go and watch panels during comic con because there's always way too much things to do and we're either on the show floor or experiencing some of the offsite events. We were able to watch panels at our own time and leisure. You can pause it and go back later etc...

There was still exclusives to be purchased and still a lot of fun in trying to get exclusives from some of the big name companies this year. A slight difference is that you didn't have to try and lug around all your exclusives back to your hotel. Just sit at your computer on your phone and try to buy your exclusive toy, print, collectible etc... Once you purchase your exclusive, just have to wait for them to ship to you. Easy peasy!

There were a lot of online activities that CCI still had such as the masquerade, gaming, art show, portfolio reviews, watch parties etc... that were all virtual but it was better than nothing. Amazon and FX had their own virtual con or activities that they'd normally would have during comic con. A lot of companies held their own mini cons of their "booth" and showed off new items and exclusives that would normally be seen during comic con.

Like so many of you, we just want to go back to the way it was before the pandemic. How long will it take before this virus gets controlled and when will there be a vaccine?

Thank you to CCI for bringing us Comic Con @ Home! Thanks to all the artists, vendors and everyone that participated to make this year's SDCC feel just a little bit like we were all in sunny San Diego experiencing all the fun. The one thing we didn't mind this year was the crowds and no lines! We still miss saying "Hi" to familiar faces and con friends that we usually only see during various comic cons. Next year's date for SDCC is July 22-25 (July 21st is Preview night). Until next year friends, let's just hope that with so many things going on in the world and the USA right now, we can overcome all of this and come out stronger and better. We're all hoping for a way better 2021! Take care, stay safe, wear a mask and keep collecting!!!
