>>10895326 #They're starting to pivet to comic characters, toon, and game figures, but have been holding it back to not step on Neca's toes. Brian Flynn brought up the Shredder's Revenge game as something they were mining from, and it's been said that the Reaction line is an indicator of where Ultimates will go. Right now Reaction is doing toon figures, so expect that. I'm mildly disappointed since I wanted updates of Playmates.
>>10895388 #I wonder if the Ramen Toys Ratking bootleg head gave them some leverage? Super7 and Ramen have a vague working relationship, and Ramen has claimed that Super7 bought the rights(not licensing, bought the the dead IP) to Mask off of Hasbro, which is something that neither Super7 nor Hasbro has even announced.
Either way, Super7 seems to have a real good team negotiating their licenses, as people have theorized when they managed to snag the rights to do all the kaiju for Godzilla, which Neca in the past said they were never able to do. Same with them convincing Hasbro to let them make toys of their IPs.
>i'll say this, ninja-themed costumes are less lame than other potential costumes. it's just so far april and leo are not impressing me.I feel ya. I kinda want 'em, but they're not as wacky as Playmates.
