I figure BBTS will probably get them but with a BBTS mark-up. I spit out my coffee when I saw them mark up the new Figuarts Cooler by $100.

I really like the other 4" Hiya stuff I've picked up, especially the Dredd line. I'm all over these... and I suspect to see them on BBTS or Amazon at some point. |

Yeah I'll be careful, alright! I guess I won't be getting these unless they make it to brick & mortar because I just found out that everyone on the internet is only trying to STEAL your MONEY!! Not just the YouTubers, but the big online stores, too! You'd think I would have learned my lesson when I lost money on Dorkside, but I'm just too careless and rich!!!

I'm with you. Again, my only concern is who in the U.S. is going to carry these. I know via socials that Hiya mentioned they were still looking for U.S. distribution that made the deal profitable (for them), but I've not seen/heard anything recently that they've made that deal happen.
Of course a PO could drop on BBTS any minute making me a liar. Granted, wholesale after shipping was like $2 less than they were available for on Amazon. So that was a bust. |

OK, just checked and nothing Joe related on EE for them. Again, I Googled earlier and saw that AliExpress will be carrying them and various eBay listings, but none of the usual suspects as far as major retailers. Maybe I just need to do more digging or perhaps ping Hiya directly. |

I'd heard there was some 'special circumstance' with Hiya's Joe line. Initially I thought it had to do with a possible no compete where Hasbro didn't want to compete with another companies similar Joe product, but that doesn't seem to be impacting Super 7 in the slightest. Anyway, good suggestion to head to EE.

I prefer the term 'pivot' for what the line did when the gold shin pads concept was abandoned. Perhaps it's nothing more than semantics and I'm not trying to start a serious debate. Just seemed less like a reboot- soft or otherwise- and more like redirection.
Anyone know a stateside retailer who will be carrying these? Right now it seems only AliExpress and sellers via eBay. That's for U.S. sellers, Amok Time carries almost everything Hiya puts out. Check them out, it's a great store, very reputable. https://amoktime.com/

Fascinating. It's possible that it's a scale thing. Like how SH Figuarts couldn't do Star Wars domestically for a minute? Or how Funko POPs have to be bobbleheads for Marvel/Star Wars? But like... Hasbro is the license holder. So if they're going to sell the license, you'd think they would let there be a workaround. Not like they're actively pumping out 4" product to compete with them.
The only ones not imported were the Visions ones aka two figures Hasbro was NOT doing ever. |
