More than two months since ordering, my Fatal Fluffy finally arrived. A day earlier than expected, even. Hooray! Of course, Amazon shoved it into a box that wasn't quite long enough and the whole top of the card has a big crease through the G.I. Joe logo.

Luckily, I was going to open it anyway and am not especially picky on card condition for these ReAction+ figures. The cardback's just getting thrown into a box in my closet where I'll probably never look at it again.

Reading the back of the card, I feel very confident that my theory about Super 7 using A.I. to... :ahem:... "write" the file cards is definitely correct. This one is only half-intelligible and reads like it's been mashed together from text stolen from a couple different wiki pages.

Well, it doesn't surprise me.

Any company that decided to use AI for Card Art of all things
was bound to try this.


Jokes on them though, the minute they used Ai on one Card art
I immedietely decided to stop collecting Super 7 for Cardbacks.

Can?t they just reuse hasbro card write ups or am I missing something?

Super7's licenses and scale alone belie this "mom and pop toy company" image.

I have to correct you about every Target in NA, they are not at all of them, that was mentioned by them, and a lot of us never saw ReAction figures at Target near us...

Indeed, at least for Joe. All of the Targets in my area stopped carrying the regular ReAction a year before ReAction+ came out. That said, I can still find other ReAction in the collectables aisle.

Well, the Fatal Fluffy never had a figure or card before this.

For the other existing characters, however, the Super 7 cards read similarly like an A.I. mashup of text from the old Hasbro/Hama cards with other text plagiarized from web searches.

I find you all to be very forgiving, when it comes to this line. I'm still holding out hope they'll debut something for me to get excited about.

I'm happy y'all are happy, though.

What are the odds BBTS will have wave 3 and the BATs before wave 2 reaches the POL ship date?

i probably have come off wishy washy. but the super7 reaction+ cobra commander is my third favorite cobra commander; being #1 battle armor cobra commander, #2 the talking battle commander cobra commander (and hte re release with an actual back in black, but not the subsequent releases with a flat back). god i really wanted that reaction+ sculpt in red so bad for my zaku gundam.

and im super excited about the other reaction lines. bttf is not even a consideration for my favorite movies, but there's a bunch of potential in the parts; and it wouldnt hurt at all to have another set of the universal monsters floating around my collection but in o-ring (got that remco and the burger king sets).

also it's really nice to not have to dump 250 to 400 dollars into a campaign and wait 2+ years for it and not be happy with literally any of the progress photos on the expensive one.

Eh, I'm like 50/50 on it myself. The stuff I've liked, I've really liked, and the rest is just... whelming. If I weren't out of room, I'd be in on all of it, but my days of buying things that don't bowl me over are done.
