Are Super7 Action Figures Worth it?

They need to cut their prices in half.

The 3.75" stuff is outrageously priced, especially for the sculpt and poseability.

A problem is that they're outdated. Mattel allowed them to finish the MOTU classics line and they kept that articulation scheme and ran with it. Even Mattel has moved on from that system and have an updated He-Man line.

I used to have dozens of Super 7 figures, all of their TMNT, Thundercats, and a few others. But I had so many issues with loose joints, bad paint, very limited articulation and at $55 and up, they just became not worth it. I sold everything and started collecting Newage Transformers as I always wanted to get back into Transformers. Holy cow, I was blown away how much better these 3rd party figures were than Super 7 and they are super complicated, near the same price, sometimes cheaper even. I just cannot go back which hurts as I love their toon GIJOE line, but after they forgot to paint the heads on Wave 2, then just said deal it, I was out. Shame as I love Silverhawks and Thundercats, but I cannot give them money anymore.

Correction: on that scale, Neca's MSRP are $35, anything above is the seller trying to make more out of it, but Super 7 do go from $55 up, we're talking about $20+ difference...

My main gripe (aside from price and qc) is the antiquated articulation. They’re still largely rehashing Four Horseman He-Man sculpts, but even the figures that don’t use the same exact blueprint. Nearly every other company continues to evolve and improve their figures, all while maintaining an attractive aesthetic.

Between MOTU, TMNT, and Thundercats, I own close to 100 Super7 Ultimate figs. Other than a few minor things here or there, I'm quite satisfied with the product. I just make sure to heat up everything before I go bending any joints, but I do this with all my figs. Cold weather is the enemy of new figs.

Super7 QC is notoriously bad and they don't give a crap. With the 2nd Wave of their G.I. Joe Ultimates line, the faces weren't painted. Thus they didn't match the other waves...and didn't look great. Super7 admitted it was an error, but have made no move to replace the heads. They've already got your money, so they don't care.

I tend to agree with the Super7 stuff. Looks great! But is it $50-70 great?

I think no, theyre not worth it. They are inexplicably expensive for what they are. Especially the 5- POA Reaction figures are way overpriced. They also seemingly have way more lines going than they can handle. They keep announcing more Ultimate lines when the ones they have are months, in some cases years behind schedule.

It's really tricky with Super7, because they do things no other toy companies are doing, but their quality control has definitely been an issue for me. I collect their ThunderCats Ultimates line, and I find that they're best left in the packaging, because they do look pretty great, but there's always a risk of paint slop and loose joints. My Cheetara's leg broke off, just because I lightly bent it back to put her in a sitting position. They tend to do a better job with playsets, so looking forward to Cat's Lair. Super7 is the only company giving us ThunderCats stuff, so what can you do if you love them and don't want to spend huge $$$ on the vintage LJN line? 🤷‍♂

The thing is that Super 7 produces a lot of stuff that no other company would/will. Sure, you have to put up with things like the higher prices because they don't have the economy of scale working for them, but if you want what they make they're the only game in town. Nobody else is ever going to do things like their deep bench GI Joe sub-license or Toxic Crusaders ultimates, so though I personally can't afford much at all in that price range I can totally see why some collectors are willing to "bite the bullet" on once in a lifetime offerings.

He definitely said it right, my Super7 figures are still in the box and I buy them to keep them displayed in the box, they look great!

Cool channel, glad I found it... subscribed!!

Great video. I really enjoyed you Chemistry. Keep up the great videos.

I would rather spend an additional $50 and get the King Conan the Barbarian from Mezco. You get more poses, accessories, and an overall better looking figure. Even with the Power Ranger figure, I would rather buy the cheaper Hasbro Power Ranger figures. Again you get more poses and a cheaper hit to the wallet. You can go to an Ollie's and find some of the Hasbro Power Ranger figures on sale for less than $10. I'm not telling people not to buy Super 7, because your money and, your choice. However these Super 7 do not look appealing to me. Good video guys definitely dropped a like.

Enjoyed the conversation, fellas.

I don't think their figures are worth what they charge. I like their figures but not for what they want for them.

I own five Super 7 figures. Two of them are floppy as heck with loose joints (their re-release of Classics He-Man and Skeletor). I Frankensteined my "perfect" Classics Skeletor from that figure, one from Mattel that I attained due to the great "Big Lots! clearance" sale, and a part I got from buying a New Adventures Classics Skeletor via eBay. Then I got a Shredder from them (Ultimate). He's pretty dope. The best Super 7 figures I've ever gotten from them are the "movie" MoTU figures. The Skeletors and He-Man are exceptional. Still, I am quite weary of getting more due to friends having bad experiences as well or seeing videos of bad QC issues.

Great video!
