As we previewed here at borg.com, toymaker Super 7 featured great exclusives at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con with both an onsite presence and an offsite store featuring both a Masters of the Universe theme and a Universal Monsters theme. If you were early enough you could have even scored a pair of four different styles of limited edition Universal Monster-themed Saucony shoes. We think the best nostalgia draw from Super 7 is their multi-license classic Kenner style 3 3/4-inch ReAction figure line that we’ve covered here at borg.com since Day One. We previewed some of the latest ReAction figures in our coverage of 2018 New York Toy Fair (here), but Super 7 showcased some brand new prototypes, packaging, and exclusives this weekend.
Probably the best display featured the figures of the new Hellboy line. These two-pack sets look great in person, and will likely become only more popular as we get closer to the release of the new Hellboy movie. The Ghosts ‘n’ Goblins prototypes based on the classic arcade game were also fantastic, giving fans a look at the final pieces in the first series (back row) and the next series (front in grey) that’s underway.
Of course the next series of the original Super 7 ReAction line, Alien, looks great and the sculpts and packaging have only gotten better. We’re going to need to pick up one of those Ripley’s the Jonesy the cat at a minimum. And Kane after his attack in his spacesuit–Wow!
Below are photographs from the Super 7 booth featuring other figures from the ReAction line: the exclusive convention Universal Monsters, The Fiend and Alien exclusives, Masters of the Universe, and Robotech.
