This is taken from a Reddit post, so here goes….>Big Changes Coming to Super7... >So I've broken news before, here and other places. And let me preface this by saying that no, I'm sorry, I can not name my sources, in order to protect people's livelihoods and incomes. >But I was the guy who initially revealed the info about Super7 being unable to do vintage designs of the TMNT stuff, just to give myself *some* sort of credential. >Everything I'm about to say is the gospel, my sources have never been wrong before. >That said, we've got some interesting stuff coming out of the world of Super7. Namely in the sake of action figure decision making. Remember how Brian got an investment of somewhere in the tune of 37 million? Yeah, well, this is what happens when the people who write the checks aren't happy with the output of their investment. >Brian Flynn is out as final word on product. He no longer has final say. That means design decisions are no longer his to make. >You're going to start seeing double jointed TMNT. You are going to start seeing better quality, as evidenced by the newest Simpsons releases. There are a LOT of people whose creative juices were fettered under his control that are beyond excited about the prospects coming up. >None of this is to disparage Brian. He is great guy, personally. However, all of the bad decisions over the years, the output or lack of overall QC, all him. All his choice and absence of any care, sad to say. Or maybe even hubris, that "No one else is making these licenses, you'll buy them and like it". >This information is very fresh and new, so details beyond that are light, and I won't have any answers to your questions. I've told you everything I know so far. But I will update as I find out more! Curious what everyone’s thoughts are and what this could mean going forward for the company.

>>10947366 It's guaranteed they'll go on clearance. Brian isn't winning back anyone at this point, especially if the reddit post was fake. Means the same problems as always will continue forward. Because Brian can't adapt to modern toy making for some reason. Super7 has been left behind by every toy maker at this point.

>>10947854 It was a decent run. I got pretty good updates to some of my most beloved TMNT figures, and some pretty awesome Godzilla figs that had never been made before in poseable form (rose Biollante, 1200c Godzilla, etc). I wish they had done a better job or worked on improving themselves more, but I'm not mad at what I got out of it.

It must have hurt to admit he can't do it. No Usagi. Not getting full waves, or even consecutive waves, of vintage-inspired figures anymore. I know Brian is a fucking fool, but even he must see the writing on the wall for TMNT. And I'm sure that helps drive the pre-order griping because he's building in an excuse when he cancels yet another line. Oh, you see, it's nothing Super7 could have done. People just aren't pre-ordering this amazing, perfectly flawless product for nebulous 'the economy' reasons. And we couldn't POSSIBLY just sell toys, like a toy company. Because we're not a toy company. We're an artisanal, high-end collectible company that ONLY sells directly to the customer. As long as that 'customer' includes most major toy retailers, including fucking Toys R' Us and nearly every toy e-tailer on the fucking planet. Goddamn. This fucking guy is such an absolute tool that it's genuinely infuriating to me. Doubly infuriating that he constantly gets away with it because no one with access to him has the balls to call his bullshit out.

This was recorded live at the New York Philharmonic with Aaron Tveit last year, a different take of "In the Court of the Poorfag King." Breathtaking.

>>10949785 Because of, well, fear of missing out. Once people get invested into a line they feel compelled to collect the whole thing because it would be incomplete without ALL the entries. And when companies intentionally release product in obtuse and obscure ways it triggers that urge to buy into something even if it's a bad investment because of the fear of never being able to complete the collection. Toy collecting, especially for children's media, is probably a symptom of a larger mental illness that companies prey on.

>>10949789 >Once people get invested into a line they feel compelled to collect the whole thing because it would be incomplete without ALL the entries. It's odd to me but I see people who have this issue. I've never felt the need to have everything from a line. Usually I just pick and choose what figures I want.
I feel like people who have that impulse to collect everything from the line, even characters they don't want, should just refrain from collecting unless they're rich, as it will get out of hand in space at least -- if not money (depending on the size of the line anyway).

>>10949785 Because they like the characters? Because it's fun having different variants of those characters, especially silly ones like that? Why is that such a hard concept for you to understand?

I don't preorder super 7 stuff because their final products don't follow through on promo shots on top of being overpriced and going on clearance all the time.
This is definitely a super7 problem. Not an industry problem.
