Super7 Ultimates wave 13 is hitting people's doorsteps...and it's a bit of a clusterfuck.The excessive thin, pliable rubber use continues, loose joints, things popping apart when they shouldn't, no paint, shiny plastic, etc. 2k3 fans stay suffering.
>>11680095Full vid:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrWtkasofekUpsetting for the amount of money these cost. And the production time. And them raising prices further.
I don't feel sorry for anyone who hasn't learned their lesson on Super 7 at this late stage of the game.
The TMNT franchise really is the 90s incarnated into cartoonz and toyz. When the 2003 show ended is when the real 9/11 happened.
>>11680128I was hoping they'd be decent, and I guess maybe they're that, but they definitely don't look good. I don't understand how there's not been any progress in these figures. And those soft goods on Shredder look rough. I don't get how they produce these and think they're ready for release.
>>11680095>>11680101honestly feels like their figures have gotten worse over the years, I know they were bad before but I never had joints popping out and the cloth goods on previous figures were much cleaner
>>11680138They feel like they're amateur Kickstarter toys
The company is hanging by a thread. I would expect a continued decline in quantity and quality of releases until the day they hang it up.
>>11680144I've gotten a few KS toys and I don't think any of them were as bad. Much as I wanted them to be good back then, it was probably Articulated Icons that were the worst ones I've gotten (aside from that LFG Richard which I regret...), and even those were at least ML tier. Super7 after all this time and at these prices are somehow worse than that.
>>11680079am I the only one who fantasizes about taking modern image editing software back in time to corner the market on promotional art like this?
>>11680095why did he even need a cloth belt...>>11680101that looks like it'd pop right back in>>11680138when your company is literally dying, it's not exactly the time to put out your best efforts.
>>11680306>that looks like it'd pop right back inIt can. Problem is it won't stay and comes out again and again apparently.
>>11680308aw feck.the question in that situation is: do you put some gorilla putty on it, to make the peg essentially thicker? or do you shave the hole slightly bigger (leaving a lip) so the peg can get in and lodge itself better? I hate those kinds of decisions. even a Zoids kit did that to me recently.
>>11680095>>11680101I always find it weird how much people dissect the Super7 Turtles, but there's a huge brigade to defend Neca Turtles, despite that there's videos of their figures falling apart , even n Pixel Dan videos. Dan himself will even defend it and spout that it's probably only his copy. Neca even got caught lying on their twitter back when Ratking came out and they tried to dismiss the paint flaking off his crotch as an isolated incident, only for it to be pointed out that their official promo images show his crotch flaking. It just feels like gay brand wars.
>>11680451Nobody was caught lying about anything. You're such a fucking retard. It was a factory issue that was fixed on subsequent releases of the pack. NECA actually goes out of their way to make improvements on things as they go forward. Super7 does not. Super7 struggles to modernize or adapt. And then when they do step forward, they fall on their faces making the same dumb mistakes even though they should have learned by now. 13 goddamn waves in.
>people are finding random reissues of older NECA toys in storesWeird. Kinda like last year when WalMarts were filled with Universal and Gargoyles out of nowhere.
>>11680471That isn't weird. They do that all the time.
>>11680101wait, am i seeing this right, there's no elbow joint at the elbow, only partway up the humerus? so he can bend his hand all the way inward, but not straighten it out
>>11680306the toy fair promo showed a plastic belt, they should have kept that
>>11680476Good to know. Maybe I'll splurge on Krang this time if they re-release him.
>>11680477oh no, the finger is covering that part, there is another joint.
>>11680095>>11680101christ, the Shredder proto at seen at toyfair looked so much better. what happened?
>>11680333Sometimes it's because the peg wasn't fully inserted which stretched the hole, so just the hole needs to be reset with hot water. Always start with the least destructive method.Hot water>nail polish/varnish>putty>knife/dremel.
>>11680687the modus operandi of all present businesses: fuck up as hard as you can, lose all your money.>>11680693oooh I will try that the next time that happens. That's not gonna work on my zoids kit since that's a HARD nylon ball and socket that's giving me fits (ball LEAPS out if you rotate it at all) but that's gonna work for a lot of things.
>>11680687>well it is super7 so idk what you were expecting
>>11680766of all their frequent mistakes, this isn't one of them. they're innovating in NEW mistakes.
i'm drawing a bunch of frog monsters right now and realizing how many great kinds of frogs there are for Atilla and Rasputin to be, if Super7 gets their shit back together (or someone else does it)you got those psychedelic tree frogs, you got spiky leaf fuckers, you got those buff as fuck bullfrogs..
>>11680861actually, the more I think of it, is this what Napoleon was based on? I thought he was just an exaggerated warty toad, but.. that head shape..
>>11680861I always liked these designs
>>11680890fly boy looks absolutely authentically like a playmates accessory guy.. Rasputin definitely works here, but Attila... he just loks like fat genghis with less clothing. especially after S7 gave Genghis a reeaal solid cas eof acne.. Not sure how well the muumuu would work on a figure either, but yknow what? it's color-coordinated. . I never noticed before they're each wearing yellow and pink..
