    Super7 ultimates are amazing for in box collectors. you can take the sleeve off and they all look great but if you take them out of the box, you have to have figure stands and most of the time you'll need some future floor polish or clear coat paint to thicken up joints because the QC is very bad thanks to them picking some poor manufacturers.

    Super7 was great during their hay day in the MOTU Classics line. Since then, they have spread themselves out too much and taken on too many IPs. Because of that, they’ve had massive failures in the QC department resulting in things like this. It’s not to say they still don’t have great figures…they do…but it’s very much hit and miss with far more misses as of late.

    • @TadashiYee

      They weren't even great then tbh. Their first wave of Ultimate MOTUC figures on the vintage style cardbacks were great (although that's likely because those were made in the Mattel factories), but we saw everything from fragile parts, low quality plastic, poorly engineered articulation, and poor color matching. Luckily the movie figures were really high quality, but most of their stuff (especially from the Filmation Club Grayskull line) was a mess.

    • @wetalkeverything7891
      @wetalkeverything7891 2 года назад

      I would argue they weren't great then. They only did a few waves and there were issues there too. Mattel did the majority of MOTUC, Super 7 were the tail end.
      They're not the best in terms of QC compared to pricepoint. But for some of these properties, it's the only option (so glad to have practically finished Thundercats at last).
      I will say, in terms of complaining about lack of extra torso in the review to make two figures - this is pretty standard with a lot of lines. They're not in the business of giving you two figures, lol.

    I can relate! I was stoked for their TMNT line at first, but was quickly disillusioned after my first unboxing.
    Low quality paint, loose joints, and the end product looks nothing like the marketing photos....that seems to be where all their money goes. Figures on their website look meticulously painted and posed, but is far from what you actually get.
    The best thing about their figures is the box, which is sort of emblematic of their company as a whole. It has the appearance of quality, but not so much up close.

I ordered Prince John/Sir Hiss which arrived but haven’t actually posed or inspected much. Today I ordered Robin Hood (seemed logical if I’m to make a diorama but had difficulty locating in EU & had considered having imported from US but baulked at the Import Charges). Having secured an EU distributor I forked out the €90, then came across this review. I just hope my excitement of my purchase doesn’t get me as dejected as the review alludes to.

That said they had an issue with one wave of TMNT recently but it was fixed in the next wave so I’m wondering if this is a specific factory issue.

    I've only ever gotten one Super7 figure (Muck Man) and I had a similar experience.
    The brand has a nice initial impression but you discover all the issues when you handle them. Since then, it's become really apparent with the way the company approaches things. Constant delays, high prices, useless articulation, bad QC, and worst of all, the product never looks or performs as good as the digital renders.
    Super7 is the only brand that you can regularly and easily find on sale. The aftermarket prices are lower than msrp. That's all you need to know.

    One of the biggest issues with S7 is that they often shy away from paint apps and instead try to cast everything in the "more or less" correct colors from the get go. In consequence, the figures all look a bit 'meh', unfortunately. When they do go full in on the paint (which they do for some figures), the products can look quite amazing tho. Muckman from TMNT would be an example of that. The excess of accessories is just another thing that gets a lot of people upset (me too); they seem to use it as an excuse to hike the prices, but most of the stuff is utterly useless.

    Super 7 just released Transformers Bludgeon. The helmet can't fit on the head fully, the cannon can't stay on the arm, the articulation is poor, it took about 2 years after preorder, no refunds or cancellation for pre-order if you get it directly from them (but you do get refund or cancellations via other websites if you order the same item from them) and other issues. Other TFs they've tried have also had bad design (such as Targetmaster accessories not actually working properly), etc.
    They also just showed the 3D render for Bludgeon too. Apparently, they didn't even figure designing or getting production ready until they get their orders, which is why it takes so long to get them and why the QC issues are bad. They are basically a crowd-funded company posing as a legit retail company.

The only complaint I had was that the chain for the nunchucks was too long but the figure itself is solid, tight but not too tight joints, great paint, etc... I have heard that S7 can be hit or miss.

Alot of the time Super7 is selling you 3-D CAD files from their computers and not photos of a tangible, physical object.
      During a video interview Pixel Dan did with Brian from Super7 back during the Pandemic, Brian had made a comment that always stuck with me. He said something to the effect of, it was nice not having conventions to go exhibit at all the time as they didn't have to actually bring physical prototypes to the show to set up. I think part of the problem with that thought process is, you might find flaws in the design with physical prototypes that you could miss while 3-D designing it. TMNT Ultimates Wave 5 all around the series has problems with loose joints, Jay from Geek Dad Life here on RUclips did a video a few days ago about it and shows some videos from other collectors with Sewer Samurai Leo's hips and head bobbling around like a marionette. And for figures that were pre-ordered in May of 2021 and showed up at people's houses in October of 2022- there really isn't any good explanation why after nearly 15 months those figures didn't leave the factory perfect. If they can't do that in 15 months, what makes us think they can handle it in 12?

      @@NostalgiaUnboxed Yeah I don't know exactly where Brain's head is with some of these. They strike me more as a "Art Toy Company" where they just make high-end stuff. Some of their ReAction stuff is pretty solid, but you're talking about typically 7 parts vs 30+ on the Ultimates figures. More parts and articulation doesn't always equal better products, as you said, you have to have it in hand to test it. I make my own resin Glyos compatible toys and I make sure my stuff is perfect before I sell it to people, and I always make sure my sculpts have feet that allow them to stand. That's because, like so many of us, I've had figures swan-dive off of shelves and that's something that irks the hell out of me. I'll have to check that SpongeBob video out for sure now.
      I got the TMNT Ultimates Scratch from Wave 6 and he didn't have any issues so I dunno if Super7 is on top of these issues and correcting them in future waves, or they are just all over the place and just get lucky from time to time.

    I’ve collected a few of the figs from Super7 and have noticed since around after the release of the Thundercats line, there has been a weird off putting decline in QC happening more and more. My mutagen man fig was the last good one I got. But as much as I like the Thundercats I’d gotten, there’s something off about the limited posing abilities, even with the number of articulation points most figures are shown to have. Also not a fan of the digital renders aspect as that was finally what got me out of my Silverhawks preorders. Don’t get me wrong, I really like the reAction line, and think that super7 is or was once capable of some great things, but something is up with the ultimates line.

    For what it's worth, I kept up with Super7 to collect the core ThunderCats team after Mattel dropped it. To Super7's credit, they admitted that the initial run of Cheetara was so bad by their standards that they had to redo it, and both Cheetara and Tygra took forever to show up. (In Super7's defense, there was a certain pandemic going on that slowed everything down, so I'm not going to blame them for that.) I also later ordered and received Lynx-O and Ben-Gali. I have to say that the only figure I have a slight issue with is Tygra, whose colors seem a little off, and his legs are a little loose at the hips. But not severely. I do agree that the figures are astronomically expensive (and they can keep Snarf), but I'm not disappointed to finally have a really good team of ThunderCats figures between Mattel and Super7. I'm sorry you had an unpleasant experience with Robin Hood. The core figure looks fine, but it also looks to be like they over-accessorized him to justify the price tag on a relatively small figure.

I currently own the entire TMNT line and have to say the most recent wave 8 has had a major improvement with their loose joints. I also think it’s certain figures too. Most of mine have fairly decent stuff joints although my Krang’s robot legs are a quite loose. But I am also not into doing lots of poses, just like to display my figures out of box and might do 1-3 poses every now and then. I think once their next wave of figures comes out will be the tall tale if their QC has finally improved or if like wave 8 was just a miracle wave. As some in your comments has said, think they have acquired too many licenses and have let several products quality drop.

Like Prince John has all these cool accessories and interchangeable heads but he doesn’t have the thumb sucking head or hand to go along with it.

    Welcome to Super7 QC. This is why I have a love/hate relationship with this company. They charge Ultimate prices for a "Ultimate Disappointing" end result. (I collect Thundercats and TMNT from them and the problems are endless. Recently got the SDCC G.I. Joe B.A.T. and when I got it out of the box it was all loosey goosey in the joints...I purchased four of them and have all the other Joe waves preordered. I can't cancel because it's through their site. I am beyond sad that I can't cancel them and return these B.A.T.s. I'll be cherry picking only my most wanted moving forward. Also I ordered the Turtle Van through them and I'm so sad I can't cancel it. Thankfully I ordered the Thundertank through BBTS which I've already canceled.

      I mean $50 is pretty standard retail for figures that aren’t sold at WalMart.
      Mythic Legions, Savage Crucible are same price and they don’t have to pay a license fee.
      I don’t buy shoes at Walmart or Target so I certainly wouldn’t buy figures there as well.

    I started collecting Super7's Thundercats Ultimates line this year, and I'm glad I watched a lot of reviews before I opened any of them up. I will most likely keep these in box, because I heard they don't stand well on their own or that their articulation isn't of great quality. And that's really sad, considering the exorbitant prices. Snarf alone will be $55.00! I have come to accept that Super7's products are "polished turds"...they usually look great, but don't handle them or examine too closely!

      I’m sorry to hear that. Nothing worse than WANTING to open them, but won’t because it’s a turd (polished or otherwise). Crazy Snarf is still $55 for his size. Like that new throne that’s $45.

    The entire concept of “Ultimates” is a joke. It’s just a way for Super7 to have ridiculous prices for figures people want and no one else is making. 99% of the accessories stay right into the box. Unfortunately, they have a stranglehold on action figures for a few IPs right now: Thundercats, Silverhawks, Toxic Crusaders and Disney. At least with Turtles, you have Neca to turn to. I blame Super7 for most of the price increases we’ve seen in the past few years, a pandemic and general price gouging not withstanding.

    Man that sucks. I had this Robin on my radar as it’s also one of my favourite childhood movies. I had two Super7 figures: Lion-O from Thundercats and Donatello from TMNT. And both were actually quite nice. Lion-O’s joints are very sturdy on mine and apart from the eyes looking a bit weird he’s great and I still have him. Donatello I did resell. Not that he was bad, far from it actually, but because after the vintage line, the Revoltechs, and Neca lines I honestly wasn’t interested in starting yet another TMNT collection, especially for that price per figure. They’re also a bit too big for me. Only complaint I had about Donnie was that the joint connecting the hip to the torso was a bit loose. But neither figures had any problems posing or anything which might also just have to do with body proportions or something compared to this one?

    It really IS quite disappointing seeing the quality is more meh than yeh. Nevertheless I ordered it just because I'm glad they at least release something Disney Robin Hood related. My only fear is that they might discontinue with the line before even the main cast get a chance of a release. Instead they teasered the Crocodile Captain as potential third figure of the line where I wonder who even cares for this character that only has like 30 seconds screen time in the movie. :[

    You definitely have to be careful with Super7. I would say most of the TMNT line is fine, overpriced, but fine. Wave 5 is the exception though and there's some stinkers in there. The Disney line has been trash. I ordered the first wave on faith and was really let down: loose joints, too little paint, gummy plastic. Thankfully, I wasn't crazy about the assortment in Wave 2, but I did prepay for this Robin Hood which Super7 still hasn't shipped which is another annoying thing with them where other retailers seem to get their products before they do. I am not looking forward to it and I'm probably writing this whole line off. Which is too bad, because I had high hopes for it and was really interested in that Big Bad Wolf.

They said they would replace if it’s unusual, but I don’t see my issues as being unusual. They seem expected
