>>9444165There's a lot of old interviews with Brian Flynn from when he first started doing MOTU where he sounds sick of the fan community that came with picking up the licence, were he seems angry and upset. He just wanted to do retro style Filmation figures, but decided to revive Classics, because fans wouldn't stop complaining to him. Then when he did that, they complained to him that he had to make Snake Mountain, since Mattel never made it, and Brian kept telling fans how much of a logistics nightmare it would be to produce, involving getting special warehouses just to house all the sets, and to just leave him alone, because it wouldn't happen. Then they kept demanding he revive Thundercats Classics, and he kept telling the MOTU fans that he couldn't because it was a separate licence and the owner wouldn't licence it to him. Fans didn't care though.
His company had never made anything beyond niche retro style figures, and began making Classics simply to appease fans and make them stop bullying Brian, with at first hit and miss results, eventually evolving into Ultimates. In a short few years doing Ultimates, Brian has become a Willy Wonka of toys, producing difficult toys like Snake Mountain, getting the Thundercats license, buying up the IP rights for Silverhawks, and some how negotiating deals to do TMNT, several Hasbro IP's that in some cases are competing against products that Hasbro themselves are already making(Lightening Collection and Classified), and managing to some how get the rights to all the Kaiju for Godzilla, a feat that Neca said was impossible.
Super7's certainly a rising contender.
