Super7 Yasuke Action Figures: Posing Ronin

Retro toy maker Super7 has released the first wave of collectibles based on Netflix’s new anime series Yasuke. The collection includes three 6″ vinyl action figures – Yasuke, Natsumaru, and Ahujah – and three 3″ super-deformed figures – Yasuke in armor, Natsumaru, and Nikita in beast mode.

According to Super7, the 6″ toys are based on Japanese hang-tag figures. Along with the chibi ones, they make for a collection that looks like it came from the land of samurai.

The toys are available for pre-order exclusively on Target. The 6″ figures cost $20 (USD) each while the 3″ figures each go for $10 (USD).

Robocop ReAction Figures: I’d Buy These for a Dollar!

Toymaker Super7’s ReAction line of action figures is designed to capture the feel and style of 1970s and 1980s action figures from brands like Kenner and Mego. So in other words, don’t expect them to be screen-accurate or well-articulated. That’s the charm. If you dig those kind of retro figures, and loved the original RoboCop, then you’ll want to check out these ReAction figs.

First up, there’s RoboCop himself. The 3.75″ tall figure is done up in a shiny silver paint, with five points of articulation and an oversized pistol that most certainly won’t store inside of his leg. You can also get battle-damaged and glow-in-the-dark versions of RoboCop if that’s what you’re into.

Next, we’ve got a figure of OCP’s famed ED-209 police robot, as he gives Mr. Kinney five seconds to comply. The 6″ tall bipedal robot has four, count-em, four points of articulation, and is guaranteed to fall down stairs. Kinney figure naturally has a bloody hole blown in his chest, arm, and leg.

Last, but certainly not least is the figure of Emil Antonowsky, the bad guy henchman who managed to get himself dipped into a vat of toxic waste. Naturally, this is what he looks like before he got splattered all over the windshield by his buddies. Fun fact: Did you know that Antonowsky was played by Paul McCrane, the same guy who played Dr. Romano on ER? You know, the guy who gets his arm chopped off by a helicopter? It must be in his contract that he gets mutilated in every role.

They also make a special glow-in-the dark edition of the so -called “Toxic Waste Thug.” All six RoboCop ReAction figures are available from Big Bad Toy Store, with prices ranging from $14.99 to $34.99.

Super7 Deluxe Ren & Stimpy Figures: Happy Happy Joy Joy!

The Ren & Stimpy Show is still one of my favorite animated programs of all time. It was just the right combination of silly, absurd, gross, and weird. While the Nickelodeon series might have been off the air for years, it’s still a classic, and the characters are still awesome. If you’re a Ren & Stimpy fan like me, check out these sweet action figures which were recently announced.

These 6-inch figures from Super7 feature the likenesses of the show’s eponymous asthma hound chihuahua and blue-nosed kitty. They’re better than bad, they’re good! What I really love about the figures are the interchangeable facial expressions and all of the little accessories. Stimpy even gets a litter box and a bag of Gritty Kitty Litter.

The figures aren’t due out until March 2020, but you can preorder them now over on Entertainment Earth for $39.99 each.
