Enter Skeletor's Lair at Super7 San Diego During SDCC

    Is Super7 going for some Guniness World Record to have the most San Diego Comic Con Exclusives ever?  Not only have they loaded up their booth inside the convention, but they're utilizing their retail space in the city for a whole different event entirely.  Skeletor's Lair is taking over their store with the best Masters of the Universe exclusives you've ever laid eyes on.  But you can't just walk up to the door and be let in, that would be too easy.  You gotta score yourself one of these special tokens from either Super7's booth #4945 or Mattel's #3029 for admission.  Once inside you're gonna probably loose your mind and need medical attention after seeing what's available to purchase.  Here's part one of my rundown for you.  

    You could buy all of these M.U.S.C.L.E. inspired figures and because they're so small, convince yourself that you need way more stuff.  And then you'll get back to your hotel room, open em all up and have a ton of toys to spread out on the bed and roll around on like Scrooge McDuck.  Not that that's exactly what I do after a long day of shopping at a convention and after I confiscate my wife's phone to ensure there is no photographic evidence of it.  

    You wanna get fancier with your He-Man collection?  Then you're gonna need these exclusive resin He-Man and Skeletor resin figures from Amanda Visell.  Both were hand cast and painted and are extremely limited/more awesome than anything you currently own.  

                                         

    Let me tell you something.  If you wanna know what's something people are going to be nuts for during and well after the conventions, it's these four figures you see here.  Super7 not only caused a frenzy with their Alien prototype set, but they created a whole new series of action figures that are available just about everywhere.  If you're a collector that is also interested in watching a toy's value grow, these are a no brainer.

    How has this never existed before?  Whoever made this happen is a genius and I want one pretty badly.  This official Moss Man Chia pet is limited to one per person, but I would need two of them because you can't not grow the thing.  But then it would kill me that I didn't have one mint in the box because yeah, I'm kinda weird like that.  Now I have a headache.  

    You know what makes these test shot figures great?  The shear size of them.  I'd fill my house with giant sized Skeleton figures no problem, which may be why I have to take medication to be a functioning part of society.  

Super7's Truckload of Exclusives for SDCC

    A visit to Super7's booth at San Diego Comic Con could drastically change the landscape of your collection/ability to retire one day.  But fear not, because if you start right now you may have just enough time to get a few new credit cards in the mail so you don't have to worry about picking and choosing the toys you want.  You max those babies out, then get another credit card with a sweet no interest balance transfer deal and you are practically making money as you shop!  Not really, but it does take the sting away when you think of it like that.  Behold all that could be yours:

    

A New "Keep Watch" Mummy Boy from Mishka x Super7

    Could you imagine how impractical it would be if our entire heads were just one big eyeball?  We'd never have any of those good fighting videos on Youtube because as soon as someone got poked it would be over.  Giant monocles would probably be really expensive for people that needed vision correction, not to mention putting eye drops in would be a two man job.  And pink eye would probably be fatal.  Thus concludes my argument for us to maintain the two little eyes we have and not wish for a big, all encompassing one.  Stop your wishing!

    The Keep Watch Mummy Boy from Mishka and Super7 is however a pro at keeping his neighborhood safe.  Nothing gets passed him, unless it occurs when he's making one of his very slow, energy draining blinks.  Then you could pretty much clean a house out and have half of the merchandise sold on Craigslist before he knew what happened.  You can get this unintentional peeping tom for your home tomorrow when he goes on sale at www.super7store.com.  

"Acidic Orange" Alien Figure from Super7

    This guy is doing a terrible job of not reminding about the Flyers not making the playoffs.  He's decked out in the team's colors, looking ready to hoist the Stanley Cup above his head.  But alas, it is not to be this season, or any of the past 30 plus seasons.  I wonder what the suicide rate among Philadelphia sports fans is.  I bet it's high.  Don't worry though, cause I'm too full of myself to dare deprive you of my presence.  No need to thank me.  

    Have you gotten one of these sofubi Alien dudes from Super7 yet?  They're not easy to come by, but you'll have a chance to snag this "Acidic Orange" version when it goes on sale this Thursday, April 16th at noon pacific time.  Fifty bucks and a lot of luck is all you need.

"Green Slime" Sofubi Alien from Super7 x Secret Base

    I have yet to learn my lesson about staying off of social media during holidays.  A few days ago was St.Patrick's Day and Facebook was flooded with either pictures of leprechauns or people drinking.  Essentially, it was boring.  The only thing good that can come of it will be when everyone posts all the stupid stuff they did while extremely intoxicated.  Hopefully I'll get to read a good story or two, whether they admit to it themselves or I see it in the news.

    The only redeeming part of St. Patrick's Day for me is that everything is green, which just so happens to be my favorite color.  Not that you would necessarily know that by looking at what I wear or the stuff I own, but it was always a favorite when I was a kid so I'm sticking with it.  Which Is why I'm going to go a head and declare this "Green Slime" Alien figure the best one yet.  I don't know how Super7 and Secret Base are gonna top this see through green vinyl figure accented by a very nice black paint rub, but that doesn't mean they won't try.  These beauties go on sale Friday,  March 20th at noon pacific time from www.super7store.com.  

Super7 San Diego's Grand Opening Is Tonight!

 
    You know how awesome it used to be when you could get in your car, drive around, and stumble upon awesome stores?  You'd have to think back quite awhile cause that time seems dead and gone.  Maybe not if you live in a city, but the suburbs are an endless wasteland of pizza shops and gas stations.  I don't know who is eating that much pizza, but you need the gas because you have to drive FOREVER to find any place cool to browse around.  When they build strip malls, is it mandatory that they fill them with boring crap?  Is there some law still on the books that regulates the necessary amount of dry cleaners each plaza must contain?  Would it kill them to put a antique/toy/convenience/laser tag emporium in every few?  I smell an appearance on Shark Tank coming up.

    If you perchance live in San Diego or the surrounding area, you are about to get a new favorite destination, as Super7 will be opening up their latest retail location tonight.  You should go and buy stuff to make yourself happy, buy stuff to make me happy, or just go and see if they have free nachos.  If you're not just there to fill up on snacks they will have an exclusive mixed parts Crystal Mecha for your collecting pleasure.  All the info you need is in the photo you see above.

Peanut Butter Micros from Super7

    Fun fact:  I eat peanut butter sandwiches just about every day.  Not only are they chock full of protein so I can become the oldest ever rookie in the WWE, but they are an economical alternative to going out and buying lunch while I'm at work.  Plus, not that I'm some health nut or anything, but I hate fast food.  When you're little you at least get a toy with your meal, but as you get older all it gives you is a feeling that the four horsemen of the apocalypse are riding through your colon.  

   How many people do you think are gonna forget that these are toys and try to eat them?  They look delicious, but as we've learned through trial and error, plastic is not a food substitute.  Tomorrow at noon pacific time Super7 will be offering up these Mummy Boy and Rose Vampire mini figures for $10 each.  Get em at http://www.super7store.com/.

New Year's Hedoran Release from Gargamel x Super7

    I bet many of you today are feeling how this guy looks.  Hopefully you're at home, nursing your hangover and trying to piece together all the bad stuff you did last night so a legal team can mount a proper defense.  Amnesia never holds up well in court, fyi.

   While much of the world was out trying to get alcohol poisoning, Gargamel and Super7 were busy releasing this Hedoran figure.  Look how pretty he looks in marbled orange and black, which I'm a bit partial to being a Philadelphia Flyers fan.  And he kinda looks like he got into a classic hockey scrum with that face of his.  He's available for purchase right now by visiting http://super7store.com/.  Buying him may be the best decision you've made in the past 24 hours.  

Super7 x Secret Base Soft Vinyl Alien Pre-Order

    These vinyl Alien figures have been nearly impossible to get and have left a lot of people with no alternative other than to bang their heads into a wall until the part of their brain that wanted one to begin with is bruised into forgetting.  Trust me, it's far less painful than seeing everyone you follow on Instagram post pictures of all the fun things they're doing with their Aliens, while you sit at home nurturing that growing void in your heart.  Stop your bellyaching cause Super7 and Secret Base are making everything ok with this open edition figure.  What that means for you is that you have from tomorrow until November 30th to preorder this glow in the dark bro.  They will be made to order so everyone who wants one will get one.  No more paying ridiculous eBay prices or having to patch forehead size holes in your living room.

Lemon Pie Guy and Foster from Super7

    Fact:  the best flavor in the world is lemon, followed closely by orange and red meat.  It's on the internet, so it must be true, am I right?  Like that girl that supposedly got a third boob implanted on her chest to look like that chick from Total Recall.  Oh wait, that was proven fake yesterday?  Darn, who would have thought (other than anyone with two brain cells left to rub together).  So maybe now all the major news outlets will pick up my fact about flavors and it will headline the evening news.  Just know you heard it hear first, kids. 

    I sense another theme in today's post, and that's toys that look tasty.  Super7 is releasing these Lemon Pie Guy and Foster tomorrow at the low low price of $25 each.  Just don't try to lick em, as they are not  responsible for your subsequent gastrointestinal problems.

Super7 x Funko Horror Film ReAction Figures

    I would imagine the thing most people say when they see these figures for the first time is "where were these when I was a kid", but let's be real, there's no way your parents would have bought you a bunch of fictional mass murders to play with.  Unless they really wanted to spend their retirement coming to visit you at the state penitentiary.  But now that you're an adult most people probably already know that you're a weirdo and your parents can rest assured that they got you this far amd the fact that you eat your oatmeal from a human skull certainly can't be a result of how you were raised.  

    Make up for the lost time you could have spent tormenting your other toys with these horror series ReAction figures from Funko and Super 7.  Think of the adventures G.I. Joe missed out on!  Get em all when they're released next month for $9.99 each.  

Super7 Exclusives for SDCC 2014

    There's only one reason to go to San Diego Comic Con and it's not waiting in line for days to see a panel or that unique odor of 100,000 people crammed in one place during the Southern California summer.  It's for the crazy toys that companies produce just for this event that will never see the shelf of a toy store.  Super7 unveiled their exclusives for this year and I would punch your grandmother in the mouth to own them.  First up, check out that sweet Alien egg.  You's think that would be enough by itself, but it opens up to reveal a special uber rare figure.  These are sold blind boxed for $25 and you can only buy 4 of them, so hopefully you've paid tribute to the plastic gods and they will smile upon you with what's inside.  

    So now you've got your armful of Alien eggs and nowhere to put them.  If only they created a sweet playset where they could be nurtured and then hatched into little evil space demons.  Oh, would you look at that.  Look how much fun those kids are having, turning every human in the galaxy into a walking incubator.  There are only going to be 250 of these made and are strictly limited to one per person.  

    Girl, I got something real important to give you.  It's a gimp in a box!  But it's not just any gimp, its that pleather-clad weirdo from Pulp Fiction that has probably made you uncomfortable since you first saw him.  Well, now you can have your very own Gimp ReAction figure in a little wooden crate.  Limited again to only one per person, this naughty little monkey can be yours for $25.

    Oh good Lord this is a lot of vinyl!  Alright, I'm a bit overwhelmed so lets just handle these guys in list form so you can have all the pertinent details at your disposal:

Caveman Dinosaur- $35

Mongolian - $65

Crystal Mecha - $95

Fossila - $95

Mummy Boy Adventure Set - $65

Honoo- $35

     I think there's gonna be more stuff too but my head is spinning and I should probably lay down before I fall over on a cat.  Get all this stuff at booth #4945 or get yourself one of those toy mules.  But be specific that it's not necessary to bring the toys back the same way they would, say, something illegal.  Things could get messy.  

Nosferatu Resin Figure from Super7 x Kirk Hammet

    I haven't been to a horror convention in quite awhile because to be honest, they can get a bit stale.  You see the same vendors, the same actors, blah blah blah. But what's this you say?  Kirk Hammet from Metallica has put together his own convention that not only features horror movie stars, but bands such as Carcass, Orchid, and Death Angel playing?  Now you've got my attention.  The game has been upped when it comes to Kirk von Hammet's Fear Festevil that takes place this weekend in San Francisco.  He also got local toy makers Super7 in on it with this Nosferatu resin figure.  This was designed to resemble the old Monster Soakies that were filled with bubble bath way back when.  While this dude won't help you clean away your man funk, he will look pretty cool sitting on your shelf.  This prototype edition of the figure is limited to 50 pieces, comes in a gift box, and Kirk will be available at the event to sign them for you.  If you're in the San Francisco area check out the event at http://www.fearfestevil.com/.

New Releases This Week from Super7

    I've been off from work now for the past three days, which sounds awesome, but my days have been wasted by being sick.  My sinuses are out to kill me by filling every conceivable space in my head with snot until my skull explodes and they have finally won.  Sounds like a bad way to go to me.

   Crystal Mecha never has to worry about that happening, because he has a giant diamond for a head.  How he sees, or eats, or annoys people with jokes they've already heard is hard to say, but at least he will never know the slow moving hell that is a sinus infection.  

   Foster looks liek he's past the point of caring about whatever illness may infect his little cookie body, as he steadily devours himself and grins like a cheshire cat.  What a twisted little dude.  I bet he's killed before.  

    Both toys are new releases from Super7 that will be available this Thursday, January 16th, at noon Pacific time from www.super7store.com.

Two New Mummy Boys and More from Super7 Tomorrow

    Sometime back Super7 had a Mummy Boy contest where people were invited to paint them up and the favorites would be made into actual production toys.  Well, here are the results.  The big one was conceived by Gian Marayag and is a nice subtle design that you can own for $50.  The little one was designed by Eckotyper and is pretty fancy because he has clear areas that reveal a resin skeleton inside. All along I thought they were just filled with the gasses expelled by bacteria as it breaks down the human body.  Or butterfly kisses.  This little guy will cost $35 and both go on sale tomorrow, August 29th, at noon Pacific.

    They're also opening up their toy cult for new members.  See, being in a cult you're gonna have a lot of turnover, what with the whole dying so the aliens will take you to live on Nebulon 5 thing.  Starting tomorrow you have a week to sign up, and you get some cool exclusive stuff that you see listed above. Finally, you can do something to show your parents you have some initiative in life by joining a club and making some nice friends.   Just steer clear of the Kool-Aid.

More SDCC Exclusives from Super7

    I think just about every post I've done recently has had the word "more" in the title.  That's because all of these toy companies stagger their comic con release announcements to build up hype and drive people like me insane.  I wanna see it all now!!!!!  

    These are the final 2 exclusives from Super7 for San Diego Comic Con, and neither one of them suck.  I really like this new Monoghost figure.  The color scheme is cool and the graphics really work well set against clear vinyl.  And it stands over 9 inches tall, so that's a lot of figure for $65.

    These guys are my favorite of all their releases.  I love the Pocket Rose Vampire and Mummy Boy figures and these dudes are even smaller.  They're like, nostril size.  You get one of each figure for $20 cast in one of the two colors you see.  Just don't actually stick them in your nose or you may have to take what would be one of the dumbest trips to the emergency room ever.

    Speaking of pocket-sized figures, here are three for you.  The ever popular Rose Vampire and two Baseball Boys done up in San Diego Padres colors.  Each of these will be $25 and I personally would go for the Rose Vampire without question.  

    Here's a recap of every vinyl toy that they'll have for you.  Time to look into that second mortgage.

Super7 Releases for SDCC...Take 2

    Ok, this is my second post about releases from Super7 for San Diego Comic Con.  I'm already planning a third, so in the spirit of trying to be informative I'm gonna have cut my sass level down a bit in order to get you the pertinent info. In fact, just look at the pictures, begin drooling, and phone that long lost cousin of yours that's obsessed with Dungeons and Dragons who has been to every Comic Con since '89. It will be worth him boring you to death with tales of his level 50 troll killer if he can score you a few of these.
