Super7 Ultimate Edition Club Grayskull He-Man and Skeletor - preorder info

[Despotron]

I have both originals and they really are outstanding, but of course will pick these up for the package and extras.

We really have to push hard on the face issue though. It’s literally ruining the A listers.

PAINT THE FACES THEY’RE SUPPOSED TO BE CARTOON ACCURATE!!!!!!!

[degra]

Well he man and she ra are production pieces so they won’t have painted faces

[Raziel443]

It’s a shame He-man’s right wrist doesn’t look to go up and down like the original but in and out like all the others.

[Nianotreve]

Well first thought was I don't need another set as I had the first 2, even sold off the extra Filmation Skeletor I did have. Then I saw the Robt head and thought yep, getting that, then "hmmm I suppose Snake Mountain would look pretty empty when it comes without a Skeletor of it's own.... So yep I'm in for both! Keep 'em coming Super7!

[crazyjoe]

They’ll
Probably use the faker head as a pack in on another figure to entice sales

I am quitely confident that as there are only limited filmation figures to release, to spread it out further, they will release a faker further down the track much like robot heman in wave 2 being almost identical to wave 1 heman in the vintage line

By the way, shouldn't this thread be at the Super 7 forum? Or at least another version of it there. These are made by Super 7 are they not? I wonder when pre-orders will begin?

This forum is for CC and CG figures for MOTUC. Since Super 7 took over making these, this is the forum to discuss them.

They really should have kept the up/down hinged wrist, the holding sword aloft pose is so iconic. Speaking if the sword, it’s better than the **** one Mattel used, but it’s still not great. She-ra’s sword is spot on, they should have used that mold without the jewel.

[manic mailman]

he man's head looks terrible with that plastic. translucent/waxy/gummy/whatever
that's how the mini comic 3pack figures looked and how the quake figure looked too.
the looks is extremely subpar and doesnt mix well with mattel masters.

S7 has got to fix the hinge on hemans wrist to hold the power sword up

anyway glad to have rereleases. i got both of these from Mattel but they were the first run with the botched gappy ankles, which really bothered me so i sold them.

[Tribal Spaceman]

I do hope there's still time to tweak these. The inside of Skeletor's hood should be black to correct the one mistake with the Mattel version, and He-Man's waxy face is not good.

[Baedal]

Issues identified until now:



- Translucent/waxy plastic in both.
- He-Man without Up/down hinged wrist and with incorrect loincloth.
- Skeletor with He-Man hands, there's something on the forearms that looks weird too.
- True Filmation Sword of Power missing yet.

Please Super7, take note and correct.

Wow, after seeing pics of these and the new FILMATION She-Ra characters on Toyark I'm all in! Hopefully Super7 also releases "Ultimate" Teela and Sorceress in order to make things right with those botched figures.

I'd be down for teela and sorceress redos but doubt that will be happen.
Face seems off on. He-man due to plastic, but glad they are finally reissuing

Yeah I like the new Skeletor head as it seems more cartoon accurate but this would have been a great opportunity to also improve the He-Man head sculpt and power sword. I think the new crotch/loin cloth is an improvement as I always thought the previous one was more of a cheat. I would love for S7 at some point to do an ultimate Teela with improved head sculpt and hips. I know some would be angry at having to pay more for a "fixed" Teela but at this point I think it would be a good move in the long term for Super 7.

[manowar]

I think all the "waxy" ness with body and head is an attempt to cut costs by molding the body in flesh colored plastic, and skipping a step by not having to paint the body or the head. I wonder if they could just mold the body out of a more opaque plastic with a slightly lighter tone to give it that animation cell look, while still not having to paint it.

True but there is a SUPER7 forum that discusses these type in the past too. Is a thread about these not allowed there too? Some check it more and may miss out on these.

Great post. Unfortunately it looks like these absolutely pivotal, centrepiece of a collection figures, are going to be victims of Super 7s “we’re only going to show you when they’re ready” policy.

Zero fan input in other words. The more I look at these the more ****** off I get. Such a shame and glad I have the originals, others not so lucky. Does Brian not realise these figures are literally the key to bringing loads more collectors on board?

It's too bad that Brian started that policy because he didn't want to take the constructive criticism from customers. I would do the exact opposite and show the prototypes early to get customer feedback so that I could make the best product for the fans.

Super 7 might benefit from having a handful of product review people from the customer base to note those things.

It looks like these are less than ultimate in a lot of different ways, but happy news, nonetheless, for folks who didn’t catch these characters from Matty collector.

yeah but honestly there are those who are never happy and they compare statues faces to a toys like they should be exact. Some nit pick way to much and others are down right rude and sarcastic about it. I know mattel got tired of hearing it on their forums. I guess Super7 got tired of it too when they showed us a first pass. I see some really Rude comments on their FB page. and honestly if it were me I would sell anything to those people...

I think they got called Ultimates due to having multiple weapons and a few heads.

[FAN-DOR]

Well Super7 has to be the adult in the room when it comes to criticism. Obviously there are going to be rude or insulting comments. So you ignore that nonsense but pay attention to the comments that really are genuine valid complaints. It's not all or nothing.

I know what you mean and it's easy to say , but I guess when your Brian and team reading some of this vile crap posted you can't help but feel like no matter what we do they aren't happy. I'm sure they feel bad reading some of this stuff. I know Brian isn't in business to make crappy stuff. He's trying as MOTUC"S figures are new to his world of manufacturing. Lots more articulation than his reaction products and they had their growing pains with wave one. Wave two is a lot better plastic wise and less reported QC issues so far.

[snikt]

Aside from my pet-complaint about the lack of Collectors Choice figures (esp. NA):

NYCC 2018 shows good strategic decision making by Super 7.

It’s a good time to reveal He-man and Skeletor as Filmation Ultimates. It makes sense to reach out to a more general audience - especially after Laughing Adam was a surprise hit a few months ago. This might draw in new customers to the Classics line (better than a Hunga, Lizzor or Lady Slither could).

Also: Using the marketing push for Netflix She-ra as a springboard for toy sells... (Seems obvious, but not to Mattel).

[Brian Ozone]

I’m in on these. New weapons. Robot He-Man head. Yeah I’m in

[Alexxandar]

Anyone tired of all the He-Man especially, Skeletor and a few other variations?
Otherwise, the weapons and robot head are neat.

No! Fans have been asking for Filmation reissues of these two for almost a year because the mattel ones are so expensive on the secondary market.

This gives those who don't have them the chance to own them and it could bring in new customers.
