I don't understand how an Exclusive could show up at a separate discount store before the actual Exclusive retailer receives it, but it happened.

I mean, before The Acolyte roleplay lightsabers were in Walmart and Target they showed up at Ross. THEN they showed up for full price at Walmart and Target.

I guess something got mixed up, or Hasbro auctioned off some stuff they had stuck somewhere?

Considering the PP BAT had the v1 head instead of the comic head I think we are for certain getting a cartoon version.

Got the Python BAT, Duke, and Wild Bill all in over the past couple of weeks, and I have to say, when S7 nails it, they really nail it.
Of the three, Duke is the only one that I think falls a little short of what I want in a "perfect" Duke- that's down to preference for the toy deco, though, as a 'toon Duke, he's perfect.

I wasn't able to tell how extensive they were from that video. It sounds like he knew at least 3 people.

Super7 has so many lines. It's hard to tell who worked on what, but maybe they are just slowing their releases and don't need as many people?

It's "big" news but the scope of the layoffs isn't clear.

if i didnt say it before, i'd be getting 5 black cartoon bats. that mold is just the tits for bats.

i think i like it more than the original one.

I hate the stupid tariffs as much as the next guy. . .but, at this stage it's hard to see how they would lead to extensive layoffs. Super7 was already increasing the tax directly to the consumer. And it's early still. I can't see how this would have been manifested with Super 7's bottom line yet. If he were an import broker whose entire business is essentially made or broken by tariffs then I could see layoffs happening right away, but were Super 7's profit margins so thin that a market disruption like this could have such a quick and substantial impact?

Big picture, I suspect this had more to do with Super 7's general economic state more than the tariffs specifically. For every successful release like the Joe Reaction + figures there are loads of figures that rot on the shelf, unfortunately (even my beloved Ultimates Joes). Even if the 3 guys who know the TikTok dude were told it was tariffs I'm dubious about that.

For the record, the account sharing that video was the guy designing the reaction+ Joes, so... Don't know where it goes from here.
