I know everyone hates corrections, but a small correction nonetheless is this guy's MSRP is actually $45 and not $55. The wave Donnie was a part of was the last TMNT wave at $45 as following this one is when they went up to $55. I don't think it impacts the review much though since you concede this feels more like a $30 toy anyway. The vertical hinges Super7 provides are one of the few things I give them a lot of credit for. Those hinges are great for melee weapons, and even most guns, as the in-out, horizontal, standard hinge really does nothing for a character wielding a sword. For Donnie, it's less important as the traditional two-handed bo grip can benefit from the standard hinge, but the other weapons (if anyone actually uses them) work better with the up-down vertical hinge. And even though I give Super7 credit for including those, we can't overdo it since the one figure that needed those hinges the most, Sewer Samurai Leonardo, did not come with them. That figure is a mess.
This is a great comment, so thank you for taking the time to share it all. Those hands make a lot of sense and it’s sad to hear they aren’t included with that version of Leo
I know those hinges are great why the hell didn't they include them with samurai Leo ahhhhhh
@@stoptominate I think the factory screwed it up because the fist hands have the vertical hinge and that makes no sense for a fist hand. I think the gripping hands were supposed to get that, and the fists the standard hinge. Not that it matters much in the end, Super7 still screwed it up and didn't want to pay to fix it.
@@joehodgson9217 oh weird I didn't even notice that. Insane.
Yeah, $55 is mucho on the expensive side. I could literally buy an original soft head for the same price. ...$45 is too much. Not that its bad lookin, but it's not $45-$55 of figure. Can get good tmnt figures from neca for cheaper. Sik
i’m shocked you’ve never seen a horizontal wrist hinge. Hasbro does it all the time for characters that have swords and other handheld weapons.
I only have a… hand… full of Marvel characters and haven’t had any with weapons. Sometimes I’m just dumb, but this seems to be the thing that most people want to clarify for me. 😂 I appreciate the comment though!
@@NostalgiaUnboxedStar Wars gets those wrists too. Same with dcs McFarlane multiverse figures sometimes, like my Batman has one for his batarangs.
The different direction for the wrist joints is to allow different posing while holding weapons, it also helps certain figures hold two-handed weapons or aim guns realistically, etc.
Thank you
Always a pleasure to go back to older reviews 😁
Haha, a lot has changed in just a year
Great review! It’s hard to be impartial when reviewing something you are a fan of but this felt fair and justified. Also your editing keeps getting better and better!
Hey! I absolutely appreciate that! Thank you
Having vertical hinges on the hands is the correct way to do it, for weapon holding hands. You don't point a weapon by moving left or right, it's up and down.
I’ll have to mess around with it
I hope that didn't come across as ill willed, or mean. 47 year old working toy collector here. Anthony from Anthony's Customs has a video that explains it better that I can in a comment. Your video quality and editing is top notch!
@@joeleustice not at all. I appreciate the comment and the follow up! Thank you
Your videos are super entertaining with these “toys” lol keep the tmnt figures coming. Love the vibes man
Thank you so much!
You are the Will Forte of toys. For real, you are excellent! Super7 TMNT, however, better articulation than 80s toys, but not great!
Hahaha I will take it!
That was an awesome and fair review. I recently got Leo on amazon for $30 new and for that price I am pretty satisfied with the toy. Posability is actually a lot better than I expected given the limited articulation and he is a nice hefty size compared to his Playmates little brother.
Just wanted to say that I really appreciate you taking the time to do a whole category/section on poses because for me that's one of the most deciding factors on getting a toy. A figure with great poses can sell me on it and that seems to be a category that a lot of toy youtubers skim or skip over entirely. Looking forward to more reviews! Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much for the kind words! I’m glad you got him for that price. I think that’s a fair amount for what you get here.
Posing is important to me as well and I’m not here to have my stuff standing straight all boring on the shelf. I need scenes where they play off each other. Haha! I’m glad to see it’s appreciated!
That's quality baby had me laughing
Haha! 😅
the "not a toy," thing isn't a value judgment but collectibles can be laxer on certain safety requirements apparently (sharp corners, small bits that sort of thing).
Right, it’s just hilarious to me and some collectors would fight over the term. This is pretty close to the original Playmates that also had small throwing stars, just not as sharp
I think they legally have to say they aren’t toys, because to be able to sell an item as a toy for ages under 12 the items have to be tested and pass for a Children’s Product Certificate which is expensive to do.
Interested in knowing more about this. NECA is “NECA TOYS” on Twitter so it’s funny to me seeing this
its almost as if super 7 is just aiming towards MOC collectors , cause they do look nice in the box
That’s what it feels like!
I like how Super7 and NECA are both doing their own thing. They're both releasing awesome figures, as I've found my collection consists of both brands. As stated from others, they both have their flaws. The loose joints in the Super7 figs was a little disheartening, same with the stiffness in the NECA figs. Limits the posability from both companies. The Slash is by far my favorite from Super7, while both Tokka's that NECA did are my favorites from that line.
I would say the Tokka/Rahzar movie figures are the best things NECA has made. I’m waiting to find that amazing Super7 item, but I’m hopeful!
@@NostalgiaUnboxed Slash, Muckman, Surfer Mike, Samurai Leo (though this one does have bad hips though mine is great) Ray Fillet, Leatherhead. All greats. Super7 does lack in the paint department, but as they get into the variant figures with wilder sculpts and details they really shine. Though the paint work on Muckman is incredible.
Is what Playmates has recently released the exact same figure as what used to be out there in the late 80s/early 90s?
Exactly!
@@NostalgiaUnboxed Sweet. Guess I know where my money's going to next. 😏
Thundercats is the worst, I sold mines because I couldn't stand the inaccuracies and outdated articulation (same motu body from 10 years ago) and terrible QC. TMNT are the best I think with all the problems they have, because are as you said and update on the playmates line. With Transformers don't even bother they barely move. I'm not buying anything else from them. And yeap you were quite forgiving. Good review.
Oh no!! Well, that really lowers any possible expectations I could have had for Lion-O. Thanks for sharing. Such a disappointing brand
So, I've commented before and defended Super 7 a bit, but no more. I recently took a good look at all my figures (27 of them) from Super 7 and most are not good. I only figured this out when starting to buy the NECA figures (both toon and movie TMNT). Most of my Super 7 figures couldn't hold their weapons properly, had loose joints, terrible articulation and were very shiny and plastic looking. I ended up selling off my collection as a result. I would suggest to anyone buying their figures to wait for reviews, preorder nothing, and never buy at full price. I hate this too because I am looking forward to their Sunbow GIJOE line, but I have doubts they will be very good.
Aw, man. I’m so sorry for that! I wish they were better because I really love the way things look online and the licenses they get. But I think your advice to others is really important
Super7 TMNT as a whole is one of the best tmnt lines. The way they bring the original figures to live in the modern age is spectacular.
The other thing is, almost all action figures these days are horribly inconsistent in how they are made. I collect NECA and Super7 TMNT and most of my Super7 are rock solid, and a good chunk of my NECA have loose joints or have broke. Depending on what communities you frequent NECA also has a horrible reputation for quality control and issues and depending on the community it jus gets drowned out cause people happen to love it and when you bring up issues they are blamed on user error. Super7 figures are more expensive but they've explained why in numerous videos and it makes sense. Hopefully all toy makers can shore up their processes and quality with how much money we are spending on these figures.
The perspective is totally fair, however, the opinions in my videos are based purely on my own. While I own both lines I never feel like I over paid for NECA aside from Gizmo…. Don’t get me started on Gizmo. Lol
I know there are issues with both companies and I’ll never buy another Predator figure from NECA. I’m always happy to see folks that can appreciate Super7. With the IPs they have access to I’m always pulled in. Ren & Stimpy and SpongeBob are figures I WANT to like
@@NostalgiaUnboxed I think the SpongeBob Reaction figures are pretty awesome looking, but the ultimate's figures I imagine are for DIEHARD fans. I was kind surprised you went for the Robin Hood figure honestly, because I don't understand that line at all. Perfect example of Super7 being way too expensive and highlights Super7s worst flaws.
@@toomuchnewtoys really just because it’s a film that has a spot on my nostalgia heart. Haha!
@@NostalgiaUnboxed fair enough, that's what it's all about for most of these lines
Great review, love the background music 😎🤙🏽
Thanks a ton!
I was So ready for it to snap or break...
Haha! Definitely glad it didn’t since it’s not mine
I picked up Super7's Bebop and Rocksteady for around $35 a piece and they are totally worth it! They are big chunky figures, solid plastic with way more paint apps. I can tell by your review that they definitely cheaped out on the turtles in this line, the quality doesn't even compare to the ones I picked up. I'd say give Super7 another chance😁
That’s great to hear! And definitely worth it at $35
Great Review. My experience with Super 7 is mixed. I feel my Donatello joints are too tight but you got a loose one. I’ve found that par for the course with reactions from other collectors.
One note about the Lion-O you mention. Super 7 Wave 1 Thundercats are reissues of the Matty Collector figures from 2016. They used the same molds they just have updated deco and accessories. If you want to review an original Thundercats figure from Super 7 it’ll need to be Wave 2 on. Mumm-Ra The Ever Living, Slythe and Monkian are three if my favorite.
That’s some great information to know. Thank you!
Ole Donnie got some weird hand action going on there ;D
He’s got a job to do
The up and down hands allow you to point the weapons at the villains. Like Leo point his sword at Shredder.
Thank you!
Im on my third super7 figure review and im glad these hit my feed. My desire to buy super7 is now gone. The martians figures where tempting but i think we will stick to neca for my horror and figarts for my anime
Yep! It's unfortunate, but at least their Simpsons figures are good
The wrist articulation might be odd but it's actually way better for posing with weapons. All figures with weapons could benefit from it.
Yeah. I was a newb back then
I recently got my Super7 Leonardo and I have mixed feelings. On one hand the figure looks cool and great. Posing him is really fun. On the other hand, there’s a lot of quality control issues. For example it took me almost half an hour to put his katanas in his hands, and I couldn’t even put on his secondary head and I was afraid of breaking his neck joint because of how hard you have to press down to put the head on the figure. Another thing is the hip. Apparently this is a major problem with most TMNT Super7 figures. I shook Leo and his legs were shaking like crazy unlike the rest of his body. Overall I wouldn’t recommend buying anymore figures from Super7. There’s a whole lot of quality control issues and Super7’s really expensive. $55 for what’s essentially a $20-$30 figure is way too crazy. I don’t think I’ll get anymore figures from Super7.
Did I really just write a whole review in a comment section
Nailed it though! haha
To be honest, the only things about the S7 turtles that bug me are the single jointed elbows, the limited head movement and the "springy" feeling hips. They just feel like odd choices to me. I know S7 likes to preserve the sculpt by limiting the joint cuts, but I think these guys should have been equipped with better elbow range. The hips on mine work fine...they just feel odd, is all. They don't feel like $45 figures. Anyway, thanks for the review and thoughts!
Thanks for the comment! You’re right, some strange choices considering how easy it is to hide joints with the pads.
Enjoyed the review. Got all the turtles recently and wanted some pose ideas…your the go to for me when it comes to posing my figs 👌🏻
Hey I appreciate that
That vertical hint I guess is so he can use the weapons accurately for pictures. Never a make or break for me but some people it is
Yes!! And this was my first time experiencing those and now I look for them. Haha. They didn’t do it for Lion-O. So weird
Wow thats disappointing for Turtles figure to have such loose and damaged parts right out of the box. But it looks great in the photography, and there are fine details to the sculpt.
They have been going for a very deep discount on Amazon lately though. I love the classic playmates toy look so I got a few at that lower price.
Lower pricing for the win! They do look incredible in photos and, honestly, even in the video. They really are different in person
I found mine on clearance for 25 dollars. They are so awesome!!
That’s the perfect price for these!
I wouldn't mind if the box were smaller. Have all the accessories in a bag, keep the plastic tray only for the figure. I have to start discarding the boxes, it wasn't easy.
I also think there should be an out-of-box option where collectors can save money. Even the manufacturer would save costs
Two of your videos have been suggested to me and both were Super7 reviews. I don’t know if this is what your other reviews are like but the overwhelming amount of negativity and nitpicking is a bit off-putting. Obviously your opinion is just as valid as anyone else’s, but it doesn’t make me as a viewer want to watch more. That said, I commend you on the production quality. Really A+ stuff there. Cheers.
Pretty interesting comment. I appreciate your honesty and you’ll find that all of my videos are honest. These seem to be off putting to you, but perhaps the rest of my stuff won’t be. Would recommend most of my NECA reviews. Clearly I’m not for everyone (that would be wild). However, it sounds like even my positive reviews may not be your taste
Geez I didn't realize the quality on this figure would be so poor compared to the price though in pictures it looks nice.
Good for photos!
That was very funny (keep your mind out of the gutter lol) but those wrist hinges are correct. They are weapon-holding hands. Just like you’d hold a sword or gun.
I hold my swords like I hold my privates? Lol. I believe you’re right and I learned it too late
Dude, the hands are supposed to be like that because he holds a Bo Staff. He's the only one with them....
And Leo, apparently, unless you get other versions of Leo. None of it is consistent. But yeah, some others have stated the point of those hands in kinder words
I’m telling everyone you forgot those throwing stars…
Everyone.
@@JordanGhastly you SOB LOL
@@NostalgiaUnboxed Every. One. 😂
It seems a bit silly to complain about a toy meant recreate the original Donatello figure, recreating the original Donatello figure.
Oh no, what ever will we do
Donatello is my favorite. It's on sale on Amazon and even so I'm debating getting him because well...Super 7. What do you think? Worth it at $36?
I feel like the turtles get below that price, but if you love him then grab it
Chris is one amazing dude! He made my logo. He has a heart of gold and an ass that dont quit!
Came for the heart, stayed for datass
@@NostalgiaUnboxed Always!
I will say, I prefer single joints because they are way less ugly/obvious and don't look like an art pose doll. I also prefer molding in the appropriate color plastic instead of Neca paint flaking off everywhere and showing the wrong color. You're right that it needs more paint, and while I like a mix of matte and gloss finish, I'm not sure it seems intentional or tactical in S7's case unfortunately.
That’s fair. I think double joints can definitely look hideous, but when there are elbow and knee pads it’s really easy to hide them
For the price they charge they should go for good double joints like mafex does. They're engineering their figures almost like 80s Rambo. S7 joints are quite ugly.
@@NostalgiaUnboxed or because they charge so much they can do well engineered double joints like mafex or shf
Finally!! some1 who's not blinded by nostalgia!(I know, I know... your name makes it ironic) I collect Both Super 7 and Neca turtles so it a refreshing take . I couldn't agree more with your points.Poor paint, mediocre articulation.. As for the sculpts being the Highlight, that would make sense, since the 4horsemen(they were the ones that did the original mirage turtles for Neca) are responsible for it. They are beloved in the collector community,Go figure lol . Can't wait to see more of your S7 journey!
Thank you so much for such kind words. I really wish that more companies would include the “who” of each product like NECA does on the bottom of their packaging. It’s so hard to know all this stuff so I always appreciate the information like this
Hey! New to your channel and have been really enjoying your reviews! Totally agree about Super7. Not to jump on the NECA love train … but it’s hard not to when their products are just better all around. Cheers!
Thank you so much! Yeah, it’s kind of crazy how NECA can do the pricing they do when you start looking at what others charge
@@NostalgiaUnboxed Totally. Can’t wait for more reviews, and to see what else NECA has in store for 2023!
The paint is on purpose. It's a reptile skin. The hips/ light leg feel is still way better than the other company that uses a crackle plastic and paint chips. Any way... I love all my s7 Ultimates
I'm glad you do! Great time to be buying them if you're missing out as they are on sale. And the new wave 11 looks great
Am I the only one who really wishes they would use the alternate colors on the neca figures. I always thought those colors really differentiated the turtles more aside from the colored bandanas
It would be cool to have a set like that. NECA is going for a more cartoon accurate look so they would be the same color. But I agree it would look good
If I had to guess, the gripping hands with the seemingly odd hinges may have been made for grabbing the bow staff with both hands while in dynamic poses.
I thought so as well, but didn’t have any issue posing him. It’s weird
It's simply more options for posing. Great for weapons. Like if you want to pose Don or Leo pointing their weapons outwards, that's what the vertical hinges are for.
@@justinmiller9865 thank you! I need to mess around more with those
@@NostalgiaUnboxed I have the 1/4 scale Leo from NECA, and he's been in a pose where he is holding a sword and its resting on his shoulder. The vertical hinges allow a pose like that to look very natural.
@@justinmiller9865 makes sense! Thank you
I think they give you the weapon hands with the different articulation is for like weapon pointing maybe.
Yeah they didn’t seem to give me any unique ideas, but I’m sure I’m just not figuring it out right
@@NostalgiaUnboxed yeah i if I bought a super 7 it would definitely be the thundercats so the coincidence that you are gonna review one makes me happy so I can get some legit review not just someone who loves it cause it’s thundercats.
@@kalobhunt9001 haha. Prepare yourself!!
FYI the mini sword in his shiny claw can come out but feels like it doesn't so be careful. (very tight fit)
Is that for Lion-O?
@@NostalgiaUnboxed yes. I thought it was just permanently placed but surprised it pulled out, sword in the stone style
@@stoptominate haha! Now that’s a figure I want
I will say super 7 Baxter stockman in my opinion is the best version we've gotten so far
I wish I could pull them all and find the good ones. Haha
You're lucky, in europe these run for 80/90 euros
That’s crazy!
I like the Super7 stuff that I have, but I agree with your main criticisms of their products. The shortcomings were easier to overlook when the Ultimates price point was the (still high) $45. I usually really like the way they look, but not how they function as toys. Muck Man might be their strongest TMNT release, as it has a lot of great molded and painted detail (not to mention the overall odd design of the character). So the display presence with that figure goes a long way to mitigating the issues with articulation and joint tolerances, at least for me. My hope is that when all is said and done, the whole will be greater than the sum of its parts with these Super7 rosters. Because yeah, taken individually, the results are pretty mixed.
Consistency shouldn’t be overlooked and it sounds like sizing is part of that inconsistency. It’s a real bummer because they got their hands on a lot of great IPs
@@NostalgiaUnboxed Yeah, that's pretty much the best way to describe the quality of Super7's output: inconsistent.
The up down joint is good for melee weapons
Yeah, I was such a newb lol
I don't really get the whole point about sculpting an unpainted model and painting over it because Neca does that and it causes a huge problem with paint chipping. Me personally I prefer if they keep it with a molded sort of plastic instead of painting over it because I know that with some of their figures if not a lot of them that over a short period of time the paint might melt off or chip off. So yeah in my opinion it would most definitely be a whole other issue if they went with your idea
See my latest review of Lion-O from Super7. It’s a painted figure
As always a very good review! I love your objectivity, other youtubers get carried away by being sponsors of other brands and their real judgment is altered 😁
Speaking of the figure itself, I have to say that it originally cost $45, which is much better than $55, even so, this toy for people over 14 years old is very disappointing, a shame about the articulation, the sculpting is quite nice but the shiny paint makes it look cheap 😪
PS I pre-ordered Super7's Biollante Ultimates months ago, I'm really worried about the figure, Super7's latest releases are mediocre at worst, I spent $110 for the Biollante figure, I hope it's worth it.
Oh, man. I hope it’s worth it too! Thank you for the kind words and the price correction!
In the event that I get items shipped to me by a company like this for reviews I will ensure they understand my honesty
Cool poses. Some nice details but I just can't get over the 55 dollar price point on these. I also hate that they're scaled up some where between McFarlane and NECA size. Glad I went with NECA
Same here. You can probably find these cheaper out in the wild now
Hoohoo, next up Lion-O huh? Yeah, he has his issues too 😂 bit even so, I really like him so I’m curious to see that review
Should be a fun one! I hope I’m surprised by him
😊
😄
My Super7 will always be a Collectors Item. Because nobody will treat them as play toys.
Don’t let me get ahold of it
Dam why is he so beat up already if its never been opened? I'd return that guy
That said, the "good" head imo reminds me of the 2000s series
True! It does look a lot like that! I think my friend may have had this too long for a return/exchange
@@NostalgiaUnboxed oh didnt realize you got it from a friend i was cooking while watching
Super 7s stuff looks amazing from the packaging to the figure. Especially there thundercats but a lot of what I see idk if they are worth the money not to mention I collect figuarts so idk if I’m legally allowed to have both in the same house.
Also another company is three zero they sell 300-400 dollar non transforming transformers when you can get some amazing combiners that have 5 amazing transformers and make an amazing gewalt. Never understood the appeal of threezero
That seems insane to me! I guess that’s like buying statues though. That’s the best place to get quality sculpts and paint, but they don’t move so I’m not so into it

I hope he is good or at least as good as Donatello
@@NostalgiaUnboxed He’s really not. He’s actually one of their worst products. From the inaccuracy of the mold and colors, all the way to personal promises from Brian himself that weren’t met.
@@Lio_Convoy Brian sounds like a real turd full of empty promises
@@NostalgiaUnboxed He is. He promised that the Claw Shield peg would be fixed from the original Matty Collector release. Was it fixed in the first Lion-O from Super7? Nope. How about the “version 2” that was released to correct a single paint app? Nope. It wasn’t until wave FIVE with the “Red Lion-O” that it was finally fixed.
@@Lio_Convoy good lord, that’s insane!
I love the figure. But not worth the $45 I got him for back when he first came out. wobbly legs, bo staff to short. a "twirling bo staff" part would have been amazing.
Oh man, yeah that would be super cool!
I always see stuff that I want from super 7. But that $55 price tag is tough. I really wanted to get the Animaniacs and Simpsons ultimates.
Me too! Those definitely wouldn’t be worth that price though

Yeah, it’s unfortunate especially when they label them as “made to order”
@@NostalgiaUnboxed exactly, kinda ridiculous
I don't understand how they charge so much for all the issues they have. Not even QC issues. When I've watched people open figures and the joints are looser than your average working girl. I knew neca was the choice.
Absolutely haha
I've been really defending S7 in my head too long I feel like because I DO have these issues with the earlier figures and my excuse was that they looked like the Playmates and they would get better. And they did for a few waves, and then the last 2 fucking suck. And it's over $200 to be letdown so hard. I have my problems with Neca but it's not as often or it's preferences and they're cheaper.
At this point Playmates should have just made an adult/collector version and profited more. It’s sad because I honestly want to love these for many reasons
$55? No, but it is worth the discounted price on Amazon Prime 😂
If it’s 35 or less! Haha
No. The answer is no. 😜
Haha!
I can tell you the MOTU ones have super floppy ankles and I stopped buying them after the first he-man and skeletor
Can’t say I’m surprised but I am sorry!
I the gloss is supposed to represent the original
I suppose so
I agree that these are only worth around $35, but do think the review was a bit harsh for what they are modeled after. While the quality could definitely be better, I think the details are superb as well as the accessories. I also prefer these to the NECA turtles because those have too much paint for me, but then again those are modeled after the cartoon so it makes sense why they look cell shaded.
I can always appreciate someone that likes these. They just don’t have the value for $55 which is why I get so hard on them. $35 is a better price which lowers the expectations. It still got a decent rating though
Harsh? It is called honest, brutallly honest.
I'll take Super 7 over NECA 99% of the time. The loose hips were a big problem, but most of the newer wave figures are much better now. NECA joints are so stiff I feel like they're going to break every single time you try and flex them. I wil say the best TMNT figure BY FAR as far as looks, feel, joints, and all around is the Mirage Comics Slash - which is made by NECA. It feels like a perfect blend of all the good things about NECA and Super 7 combined. I can't wait for more of those releases.
This is very interesting to hear. Most tell me the newest items from Super7 are worse than the older lines. NECA can usually be fixed by heating with warm water or a hair dryer.
@@NostalgiaUnboxed That's right! The early Thundercats and TMNT are far superior to the current releases. For example, 1 month ago the wave of 2001 a space odyssey was sent, the Moonwatcher figure is horrible! It's a cheap $20 figure, you compare it with the promotional photos and it makes you want to ask the owner of Super7 for explanations personally lol
@@DrVelociraptor2007 his name is Brian and apparently he is full of lip service and empty promises
I still have the 2016 Playmates Classic Collection TMNT Secret of the Ooze figures and been looking to upgrade but after this video super 7 just isn’t it. I’ll stick to their Reaction stuff but the ultimates are way overpriced.
So do you keep the reaction stuff in box? I’m always surprised how popular that line is (and the stuff NECA does like that)
For me I like to keep their horror related stuff on card for the art but I like their Godzilla figures loose since they have more shelf presence. With that said though the price point is very high so I usually stick to their con exclusives.
@@joeguz6644 that makes sense!
0 super 7 figure is worth 55 dollars.
Smart person!

Man I am trying to like this review but when a reviewer is so heavily against a company it kinda ruins it. I get it if you prefer NECA, but I honestly find them the lower quality company myself, their figures are hard to pose, do not stay standing even with a base, and the accessories that come with the figures are fairly cheap. But that is just my opinion. Nice review, but unfortunately it feels biased.
I have reviewed several Super7 after Robin Hood and I dislike them all. If you do not like my opinions then this is going to be a hard channel to watch
@NostalgiaUnboxed Hey like I said these are my opinions. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion just like you are. Have you ever reviewed the Super 7 ultimate Slash from TMNT? One of the best low end figures I have purchased in my opinion.
It is 2023. ALL weapons-gripping hands SHOULD have those vertical hinges that confused you so much. They allow for much more natural & accurate posing for swords, staves, and guns.
The horizontal hinges that you think are "supposed to be" correct are the absolute worst if you want accurate & dynamic weapon-holding poses, and any & every company that is still using them needs to stop. I HATE them, and every action figure that still comes with them instead of the vertical lose massive points with me.
The only accurate pose horizontal grip hinges are good for would be weight-lifting, lol.
@@tenimeartstudios they both have their place. After everyone on the planet let me know what these other hands were for it made sense. A big disappointment to see that Lion-O has two sets of hands not meant for swords
These are 30 dollars lol
Where?
@@NostalgiaUnboxed amazon, got don and Leo for 28, and 30 dollars a couple months back. Never pre order super7
@@sadmel2705 nice! Yeah, for some I’m sure they worry about the “made to order” side of this brand
Seems such a dishonest review ... really feels like you couldn't wait to shit on the figure. The wrist joints going up and down as apose to side to side is a brilliant idea but your first thought wasn't what you could do with that hinge it was to laugh at what you thought was a mess up
Poor guy
What do you mean "the wrong way" is this not a toy channel? Do you not know about vertical and horizontal hinges for hands? Lol both are needed for weapon holding, but if only one is affordable, always aaaalways vertical is the most important
Hi. Calm down.
@@NostalgiaUnboxed asking a genuine question and being told to calm down because they have no response lmao 😂 love it
@@whitezombified just watch the video if you want an answer. Obviously new at this time and figured it out. But nobody needs someone running around commenting like this. Especially when it’s been mentioned several times times in the comments back when the video released.
