Super 7 "Official Universal Monsters Thread"

[geezer butler]

I'm waiting for the 3.75 inch scale King Diamond figure that is supposed to be released right around now. I messaged Super 7 a few days ago asking about it, but they never responded.

Totally waiting for KD figure too \m/

Super7 isn't done with their surprises...

Hmmmmnnnnn.....interesting.

I don't even wanna know what that is.

I don't even wanna know what that is. 

It's the outline of a Saucony (brand) shoe. Super 7 is collaborating with Saucony to make a Universal Monster themed shoe. I don't know what (or which) monster(s) theyll feature. While it may sound dumb I'd wager it turns out pretty cool. If you're going to ask why Super 7 would do something like this you need only read their company mission statement. To briefly summarize it: "No one else made what we want so we make it ourselves". Personally, I respect the heck out of that and certainly won't begrudge anyone willing to create UM swag.

Saucony did a Dunkin Doughnut shoe for the Boston marathon. Look it up.

... Saucony did a Dunkin Doughnut shoe for the Boston marathon. ... 

And all the time I thought it was going to be something stoopid.

It will probably use the pennant art.

Pennant I'll buy!

As you can tell, I'm a fan. And if Brian and the gang at Super7 have made Creature shoes... I'm gonna need two pair! And remember, this is taking pace at the Super7 store in San Diego, not in the San Diego convention center, meaning no ticket for Comic-Con is necessary to my knowledge. So if you're in SoCal or someone who really loves you is, it'll be a heckuva lot easier to score these than if they were on the con floor!


Here are the details on the Boodega so far:

The shoes, as yet, remain a mystery!

[LordMudd]

Nah, those can't be Creature shoes, they are not webbed.


CCC.

[Mike Scott]

I hate exclusives that you have to travel a thousand miles to get! All the resellers will be there, carting them off by the wheelbarrow full! They are already taking orders for the figures, on eBay, for 50 bucks each!

Damn! $25 for a felt pennant!? Those would be overpriced at 10!

It's not even a decent pennant.  There are no stitched vertical strips or attached ties; they just cut the single piece of felt in that shape.

I think the Creature image looks like a WWII military mascot, like the pictures painted on the noses of bombers, etc.  Imagine him with a white Navy cap worn low in front and with a short cigar stub in his mouth.

Cute.  But I usually don't care for cute. 

This stuff looks like it is aimed at the little kid crowd - but priced for the adult collector market.  That seems like a tough sell.  Like a really funny horror movie, it is a difficult balancing act.

Sorry.  I want to love licensed Universal monster product.  I just don't love these.

(The 3¾" figure sculpts look pretty good.)

That we can see...

Eh, not all the things are for everyone, nothing to apologize for if it's not for you. Perhaps some of it will be, perhaps you'll save time and money. If cute isn't for ya, you certainly aren't gonna like their keshi figures.

[aura of foreboding]

All of their regular release offerings showcased at the previous Con are for everybody, though.  The figures, the puzzles, the buckets...  Amazing stuff!  Can't wait to get it all!

I think he looks like Eddie Robinson. "M'yah, see!"
