DID THE SIMPSONS ALREADY PREDICT THE SUPER7 ACTION FIGURES?

BREAKING NEWS:

DID THE SIMPSONS ALREADY PREDICT THE SUPER7 ACTION FIGURES?

“D’OH!”

Last week, Super7 teased a new license that would join their *inhales* ULTIMAAAAATES line of action figures.

IN ROD WE TRUST

Several collectors immediately screamed “OH MY GOD, STAR WARS!!” before deleting their comments shortly after realizing that it was a tease for a Simpsons line (we saw that!). Super7 has since then revealed the figures, which are available for pre-order on their website: https://preorder.super7store.com/

So many accesssories!

What if ToyFarce told you that, as is tradition, the Simpsons had actually “done it first”, and had teased a Super7 action figure line a long time ago?

First, they had a comic book called “SIMPSONS SUPER SPECTACULAR” which had the word “Super” in it. There was an issue number 7, so it was CLEARLY a tease for a Super7 line:

On the cover, you can see the words “Simpsons”, “Super” and “7”. It’s pretty obvious!

More recently, they had an episode called “the 7 beer itch” (S32E05), which had the number 7 in the title! Another OBVIOUS tease by the creators of the Simpsons. As a matter of fact, the name “Simpson” has 7 letters!! It makes you wonder how long they’ve known about the Super7 figure line!

Seven! It’s right there!

There is also an official episode guide that has the word “ULTIMATE” right in the title!

But the most obvious one that we could find came from an episode from 1995, titled “Bart’s Comet” (S06E14). In that episode, in that episode, Bart discovers a comet while being punished by Skinner, and temporarily joins a group of nerds from the school.

Bart joins a group called… the SUPER friends!

Guess how many members the SUPERfriends had when Bart was a member… BINGO! It was 7! *mic drop*

If that doesn’t convince you, we do not know what will. To us, it’s very clear that the Simpsons had been teasing the Super7 line for all these years. Great job!

AMIDST SILVERHAWKS PAINT CONTROVERSY, SUPER7 ANNOUNCES NEXT WAVE OF ULTIMATE TMNT!

BREAKING NEWS:

AMIDST SILVERHAWKS PAINT CONTROVERSY, SUPER7 ANNOUNCES NEXT WAVE OF ULTIMATE TMNT!!

A few days ago, Super7 unveiled the first pictures of the digital sculpts of the Silverhawks figures… and inevitably, people started to complain! (That could actually be another article, and just end there). From the pictures of the digital scuplts (read that again, digital sculpts. Not even actual figures yet), the paint didn’t look as shiny as the figures used to be in our collective memories… Oh noooo!

“WHAT? Those are not shiny enough!”

In the late 80’s, the figures used “vac-metal” (or vacuum metallizing) and were oh-so-shiny, and that is how people are remembering them. On the new Super7 figures digital sculpt pictures (once again, not even prototype pics, just digital), the colors seemed more matte, rather than very shiny. Collectors will not be able to use their Silverhawks figures as mirrors to look if they have something stuck between their teeth. Such a shame!

(For more info about the Super7 Silverhawks line and colors, check out the excellent interview of Brian Flynn by the great Pixel Dan that came out during the weekend. It’s amazingly informative! Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFMZHnva640 )

“I won’t be able to enjoy my reflection in these! Gosh darn!”

ToyFarce did some digging, and found out about what the next wave of Ultimate TMNT will be, and you’ll never guess who the characters are! (#3 will shock you… sorry, old clickbaits habits).

The plan is for the next wave of TMNT Ultimates to include Chrome Dome, Robotic Bebop, Robotic Rocksteady and a Robotic Foot Soldier! All those figures which were vac-metal back then too! No digital sculpt pictures yet to see if they have a shine to them, but we’ll keep you posted as soon as we hear more.

Chrome Dome, Robotic Foot Soldier, Robotic Bebop and Robotic Rocksteady… SO SHINY!

There are also early rumors that the next wave could be inspired by the Metal Mutants wave from the early 90’s!

Shiny rumors!

REVIEW: MATTEL’S WWE ULTIMATE THE FIEND

TOYFARCE REVIEWS:

MATTEL’S WWE ULTIMATE THE FIEND!

It's Wednesday. You know what that means… ToyFarce reviews!

Yowie wowie! It’s Wrestlemania week so we’re gonna review a WWE figure, with none other than Bray Wyatt’s evil doppelganger, The Fiend!

Since I received this figure, some strange things happened in my house, but we’ll see how this goes…

Here’s the packaging!

The usual white and red packaging for WWE Ultimates figures, with a great design. Those boxes are great.

“BLEP!”

What the…

The figure just… vanished… There’s some strange screeching sound coming from the cupboard… I’m scared.

There he is!

“LET ME IN”

The figure comes with his jacket and extra arms to go with it, a second head with the tongue out, and his Fiend-designed belt from when he was the WWE Champion.

As I was taking pictures of the accessories, the lights turned off and the figure disappeared again. Please send help. I heard some noise coming from a miscellaneous shelf…

Oh, hi Plunderlings and MK Trumpet Spawn!

'“BLEP!”

*Annoying screeching sound and laughs*

“LET. ME. IN.”

I have to make some space on the small WWE shelf for him…

“BLEP!” …or I can let him do that…

OK! FINE, YOU CAN COME IN!

Like all Ultimates before him, the Fiend has some decent articulation. The detail on all the tattoos is really good, it was nice to be able to look at exactly what he has on his arms. The 2 heads are perfectly creepy. I do prefer the look with the jacket, but he also looks great without.

Creepy!

Time for an unsuspecting figure to be the Fiend’s prey…

The Mandible Claw!

Sister Abigail!!

ToyFarce pulled some strings and managed to get an exclusive sneak peek on the new design of the figure, after the Fiend was burned alive by Randy Orton a couple of months ago. He came back with a new design, which looks exactly like that!

*Annoying screeching sounds*

Not the YETAY!

We’re in for some wacky cinematic match this weekend, when the Fiend will face Randy Orton on one of the 2 nights of Wrestlemania. Be sure to check it out!

More news at 11:00… LET HIM IN!

SUPER7: “GO BIG *AND* GO HOME!” - MORE HUGE PLAYSETS TO COME?!

BREAKING NEWS:

SUPER7: “GO BIG *AND* GO HOME!” - MORE HUGE PLAYSETS TO COME?!

Last year, Super7 became the number 1 reason why couples are arguing after releasing the HUGE Masters of the Universe Snake Mountain playset, a huge playset that is in scale with their MOTU Classics line. Hundreds of collectors are still in the doghouse with their significant other after bringing home that enormous beast of a playset.

Then, last week, it was the turn of the Thundercats franchise to get their own huge playset, with their vehicle, the ThunderTank, which makes the Thundercats Ultimate figures look like they are 3”3/4 scale next to it.

ToyFarce got the intel (probably a disgruntled employee, again) that for Super7, “This is only the beginning!”. They are now testing the waters, and after seeing that Snake Mountain was VERY popular, and that the early ReActions (pun absolutely intended) to the ThunderTank are that, albeit a bit on the expensive side, most Thundercats fan will definitely get it, the sky is now the limit for Super7, who has a lot of awesome franchises to play with, and their enormous playsets! Can you imagine all the vehicles for the Ultimates Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles line, for example?

Here is some speculation of what may or may not come!

ALIEN’S USCSS NOSTROMO PLAYSET:

A Nostromo playset, scaled for the ReAction figures line would probably barely fit in our collection rooms, but that does not seem to have stopped Super7 before, and a lot of people would still buy it! Bring it on!

STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION USS ENTERPRISE NCC 1701-D

Even bigger, imagine a spaceship U.S.S. Enterprise NCC 1701-D that would scale with the freshly announced Star Trek: The Next Generation ReAction figures! We are at least getting for sure a bridge and/or transporter room playsets! Can’t wait!

DISNEY’S THE HAUNTED MANSION (THE ACTUAL MANSION!!)

Can you imagine, a replica of the mansion, with all the best parts of the ride included in it? The stretching elevator? Check. The doom buggies? CHECK. The ballroom with dancing ghosts? CHECK! (This is just wishful thinking, but damn, I want that, now…). I’d actually go for the Disney Land Paris version of the Haunted Mansion (or Phantom Manor), which, to me, looks creepier!

Also, Super7 just announced that they landed the classic Godzilla license for toys… Can you already see a Godzilla scaled to the ReAction figures? That thing would take all the space in your living room… and you couldn’t be happier about it!

One thing is for sure, collectors will need to make a lot of space for all the upcoming huge toys! Between the Super7 playsets and HasLab’s Unicron, the Sentinel and the Razor Crest, we are all collectively going to need bigger homes.
