Ah the good ol’ days!

ohh I miss those days so much. Also really wish they had continued the Thundercat remake cartoon. It was just starting to get good, and then they canceled, all because of low toy sales because none of the companies could get them out in time.

eBay ruined "going to the store" for many of us. The reseller market is something that wasn't a behemoth like it is today back then.

No. XP

such a nonsensical comment.

LOL that sounds like the Underpants Gnomes from South Park!

I've got a ton of Super7 toys in my collection room and garage... so they are sending out quite a bit.

Been like that for over six months

Wave 1 still on "tooling approved" ?! They announced wave 1 last year...

Next year 🤙🏻

Very interesting there not imported figures from Japan super7 is super crazy lol 🙃

Pumyra seems to be a cursed figure. For me, both the Mattel and Super7 figures had paint issues, Mattel's had this big blotch of unpainted plastic on the back of the head, and Super7's had an unpainted collar

Pumyra had two left legs in the cartoon.

@@droiduseruserdroid1731 it's why he don't dance y'know.

@@droiduseruserdroid1731 😂😂

The only worse company is Bandai via BluFin Brands. OMG the experiential story I have about them is jaw dropping....

300% agreed

He was also mad that they didn't announce the last figure he wanted though. So should they announce it and make him mad that they haven't released the first wave yet, or should they not announce it and do it after they start releasing waves? Can't win, but yeah, whatever the holdup is, it's better to be transparent.

It's a good way to save money since most stuff never shows up in stores.

Our stores haven't gotten anything for a year and a half! I was so desperate the other day I bought a Walmart brand Dinosaur pack for my Savage Land. Has a T-Rex and a not right Raptor. It was only $15. I'm almost 100% online these days!

I’ve been lucky I guess since my local Target and Walmart usually get stuff in every month. It’s a nice surprise when I see something I want online going for 50 but it’s 20-25 in the store. I know not everyone will get stuff in but, been lucky.

Youre happy to wait. Youre only collecting the villians. Thats you. The majority of people who have been waiting arent happy to wait.

I've been hearing about my Samurai Leonardo "shipping soon" about two years in the next months.

I agree, but I want all the figures (heroes and villains). I never cared about vac-metal, so that isn't an issue. I haven't really had a problem with either the design or the cost, but the wait time is starting to get to me. Maybe I'm just an impatient person.

DeathKnight and Brian Flynn have clearly never been seen in the same room together.

agreed. its simple...you dont like it...dont buy it. and keep it moving. all this crying and complaining for nothing. its toys.

I think 99% of 'Entertainment' made today is built to LESS than Enterprise-D specifications.

I think the $50 price mark has not sold well- starting to see the Turtles drop to mid-30 in some shops I finally picked up Raphael V2 at Entertainment Earth for $34, which is what they should have started with. Now it's dropped even further to $30 clearance.

Agreed. I saw wave 2 of GI Joe ReAction and asking for $18+ should be a crime. The Baroness face sculpt was nice but not $20 nice for a low effort 5 poa figure. There's no real excuse for the insane prices they are wanting especially when more popular lines are warming the pegs at half or less price point.

I haven't paid full price for a ReAction figure since like 2015 when they were still $10 a pop. No thank you

@@katenunyabizness9221 5 POA = 1 POS

Good for you

agreed on all points

Is that you Brian Flynn?

@qtsssim Hasbro is releasing two packs of O-Ring style GI Joe figures. For like $50-$60 a pack. Frankly, they know collectors will pay those horrendous prices so they charge those prices. Action Figures as kids toys is nearly a dead art. And its the Toy companies doing the stabbing.

@@mwc1707 I predict we'll keep complaining about this stuff on deaf ears for just so long until most of this generation finally just stops collecting altogether. And that's why they're all trying to push these overpriced TOYS on us so quickly. The toy companies realize when we're done, the next generation isn't going to give a crap and the toy companies will switch to video game production or fidget spinners or virtual doodads. Whatever the cool kids are into now. In any case, toy collecting will be sucked dry and cast to the wayside. The corporations are spearheading the movement and we're cheering them on.

You're not wrong lol

There's too much of everything right now. It's overloaded. Just today I saw more TMNT figures... bobbleheads or something. There are like a zillion TMNT figures and tchotchkes on the market and that's just one license. You basically have to just say "no" and come back around in about a year to see what you really actually like. Stop giving in to FOMO and in-the-moment buying.

The figures are not good quality either

100% agreement with you. This preorder craze must come to a end

I buy some in stock s7 now and then. Pre order never. Learned me lesson after waiting a year past eta on a figure and got a refund. Bought it when it was actually out like 2 years after it was due.

In theory that’s a solid plan. But what companies see is different. “Well gentlemen it seems no one bought our last pre orders so there must be no interest in this line anymore. We’ll move on to something else.”

That is brilliant, and I agree wholeheartedly

Agreed... they shouldn't be more than 12 bucks

@@Ilkvomit That's when I buy them when they are discounted for $12 or less.

@@cobracommander9138 They probably would be if they didn’t have to pay Hasbro a licensing fee.

@@shootermcgavin1208 Probably not. That's standard price now for any S7 ReAction figure.

Thanks for making my day (I think) by telling me about Tarn. I am an old G1 TF fan, but I like some of the Bots outside of it (even though I don't know the stories behind most, or any other cartoon variations)..... BUT.... (capitals)... BUT..... I was introduced to Tarn in the IDW TF comics (before they went to shit). Loved the character and was surprised to find it wasn't some just made up character.... I saw some super delux version which cost a King's ransom, and it looked like one of the best bots I ever saw... I fear they might not get it comic-wise, but now I know there is a chance it might be good in the Legacy line (better than nothing, I''ll look and if its a winner I'll be stoked).

Preach Brother

We're talking about Silverhawks, not Thundercats

Well he said he didn’t care for the thundercats line either and I said they been doing better now. So mine your business

I hated that too ! "I have a sample of the paint but they keep putting it on something I can't show you !"😡

Yeah, it was acceptable the first time he said that in an interview but months later and hes still giving that excuse.....c'mon already

The biggest issue is they kinda locked themselves into a certain string of factories and the classics, now ultimates form factor. If you remember back to all the issues the mattel made masters classics had, super7 is working out of the same factories, on a smaller budget, in smaller quantities. So i'd go so far and even their execution plans aren't terribly flawed, they just set themselves up with the steepest slopes to conquer. I'm not defending them, cause they are number 3 on my disliked toy company list, just trying to clarify that without reaproaching their entire system they've painted themselves into an inescapable corner.

I was just like you...until I took an arrow to the kn...no, I was and still are, then I learnt 3d modeling, bought a 3d printer and made MY mandalorian figure they way I think it should be made! Kenner style. So Kenner Super Powers have stopped being produced decades ago? Well not for me!! Muahahahaha!! I see myself out

I agree. Like these figures looked impressive and all, but they’ve been delayed so much. I’m starting to think S7 may not release any of them at all.

@@djaxisravenguard Number 3? Who are the first two?

@@StormX6 I think Super 7 deals in money laundering. Also, I hate how they announce 2-4 more waves of figures before anyone gets the first wave of figures

Be lucky if the first versions ever ship.

exactly! Anyone not realizing that a "toy deco" version would be getting released eventually is new to the game.

How did you get your preorders canceled? Their site says they don't cancel Preorders, but I have 3 orders i want to cancel. How did you get them to cancel the orders for you?

@@djinert Sadly Big Bad Toy Store is how I pre-order. In your case I would either have to cancel the card or call the bank to refuse the charge.

I tend to agree, let's hope you are right

Except I prefer Pre-orders to a point more-so than trying to get toys "in the wild" or trying to buy them off of these online retailers because the RESELLER market in just the past 5 years has blown up and is ruining anything other than pre-orders for many collectors. I don't even bother going to stores anymore to toy hunt.

@@hang10wannabe yeah. Toy hunts are something I occasionally like to watch other people do on KZfaq but I would never do it myself. I do enjoy hitting up garage sales and thrift stores in the summer though.

Say his name three times and KZfaq will ban you while his ghost haunts you.

Nowadays McFarlane Toys and GI Joe Classified series are where I get the best bang for my buck. NECA has lost their minds with their pricing. Every other set they release they bump the price up more while the QC continues to drop and they pump out so much TMNT they're going to have to start sculpting random background extras just to keep the line going.

Preach on my brother! Been waiting on that one too!

I have the (10) main vehicles from season 1 near complete. Took me 2 years to find them all for reasonable prices. Still really cool toys 👌

I found a pretty good quality Thunderhawk in a "free stuff" box at a garage sale this Saturday. Definitely my big find of the summer 😁

So you’re willing to consume crap?

No. I usually ignore the haters.

@@johncaulfield8935 I collecting nothing but Super 7 and they are far from crap. I've never had an issue with a figure and am happily awaiting these SilverHawks as well.

I bought the Thundercats Ultimates Bengali because he was a toy I always wanted as a kid 🤷‍♂️

@@jamievaughn1485 why do they keep using articulation that was out of date 20 years ago? I dont get it. Ive bought tcatz. Legit question 🤔

The ThunderCats figures are grossly inaccurate and riddled with QC issues.

Absolutely have loved the Thundercats line and looking forward to the Silverhawks and hopefully Tigersharks. It’s a bit frustrating when we can’t have it now and it takes awhile but I’m looking forward to getting however many waves come out

Everything is crap nowadays. Back in the 80s the action figure market was booming, you had so many different lines and multiple cartoons too. If you couldn't get or wanted a mainstream line like G.I.Joe or He-Man, you could go K-B Toys and find some weird, B-grade toy line like Supernaturals or Sky Commandos. Even parts of the 90s were decent. But I think given the fact that it was a new territory for a lot of companies and sadly those companies didn't last beyond the 80s, but now..seems like it's too risky for new companies, too expensive in some regards. But....I do think there is a lack of imagination these days especially compared to the 80s. That and there are so many different t.v. channels, streaming apps...it's hard to get kids to even get behind a new toy line. It is weird how you would think it would be easier to mass produce toys these days, but from everything I've heard, it's actually more expensive than it was in the 80s. In my opinion, society took a big nose dive around 2004 or so ..music these days is crap, fashion is crap, t.v. is a joke, movies are just remakes and redos..it seems everything today is boring and stale. Nothing progressing , almost like "well, there's nothing new to do so..it's all been done before so why bother"

@@robbieracer3294 whole heatedly agree

You can't judge what isn't in your hands. But if it isn't in your hands and it's taking far too long with no communication, that isn't a good scenario.

@@retroblasting I’ll agree but they have been giving regular updates, just not great ones lol. I won’t defend them of course crossing my fingers these come out this year and look great.

Sad update, Wave 5 of their TMNT hit early and oh boy are they bad. I ended up canceling all my TMNT stuff as main characters like Krang are now only available in a broken state. You were right as the more I looked at my own figures the more issues I saw that I cannot believe I overlooked. Also, first pics of Quicksilver don't look good and do not look like the renders. I think I may finally be out on anything Super 7 after this. I appreciate your honesty in your videos and helping to maybe help some of us (me) take a second look that might have save me some serious money.
