Nothing is more frustrating in the toy area than what they did to MOTUC and the figures they blew or the delays that were required. That being said, they did close their awful run with an awesome Shadow Weaver.

I don’t enjoy waiting 1-2 years for a preorder to ship, but it’s still much better than finding the Target exclusive cobra island line in stores... |

I don't think the exclusives that are showing up at BBTS and EE are stock that was held back (why hold back any Mandalorian or Red Hulk stock?). I think it's a new run for new retailers.
But I'm not an expert on it because I wasn't interested in any of the figures. But the quantities available at BBTS and EE suggest it was a pretty significant batch of figures. I guess it would be unrealistic wishing to think Target might/maybe/possibly try to get some figures from that run. Quote:
............Jscott991 had good info that may make all this unnecessary. If they do make a habit of re-offering the exclusives through fan channels a year or two down the line, and in numbers, then it might be easier to just use that model instead, although the long wait is a big downside........

That’s not true at all. Super7 only does made to order preorders for their ultimates line. And if you have a defect, they will replace the part or entire figure at no charge.
Edit: ok, maybe you meant the actual figure just being crappy, not an actual defect. If that’s the case, you are correct.

So you might not pay 19.99 if Troopers come out that way, but you won't be paying $100 either.

Thanks goodness for Super7!! Without them we would have never gotten the majority of the excellent Filmation MOTUC line, not to mention resurrecting Thundercats Ultimates. Super7 rules, and screw Mattel for abandoning the collectors in the first place, and then putting out the garbage that is Motu Origins.
I don’t enjoy waiting 1-2 years for a preorder to ship, but it’s still much better than finding the Target exclusive cobra island line in stores... I have found every cobra island figure in the wild. Admittedly, I hunt probably more than most and I never rely on crap like brickseek.

I will gladly take having to find figures in the wild over waiting years for preorders not to mention super 7 doing multiple waves of preorders without ever shipping the 1st. A practice that really pisses me off.

I’ve found every CI release in the wild too, although I got in a verbal argument with an asshat who snagged all 5 cobra troopers right in front of me, all of which were going to eBay, he bragged. I ended up having to drive half way across the state to finally get the trooper. I would rather just wait. Please end cobra island hasbro! |

I mean, I give no shits about MOTU but that Shadow Weaver figure really caught my eye. *EDIT* Apparently it's been out for a while now. Dur.

Yeah, it's been out a long time.
She's awesome. A major upgrade over the first (and super rare) version. Better eyes. Better articulation. Better skin tone. There is a weird rubbery cheapness to some of her construction (it IS Super7 after all), but she's arguably the best figure in the line (full disclosure: I am a huge Shadow Weaver fan and only started buying MOTUC because of the first release, which I had always wanted as a kid).

My Baroness' waist twist fine but the upper torso joint only seems to pivot left and right. Scarlett's upper torso joint swivels as well and I though my Baroness was jacked at first. After looking at the figs together I think the Scarlett design allows for the swivel but the joint is high up in Baroness and she really can't twist in the upper joint. I watched a YT review basically saying the same thing.
Thanks for the response! |
