Seems like really bad timing offering these right after Hasbro's own misfire with a cartoon based line especially when wave 1 is plentiful at Ollie's for $10 each...  At least these will be in scale with NECA's updated LJN figures though they won't be anywhere near as detailed though I'm sure that Brian has Warduke and Strongheart already slotted into future waves.  The high point for me with this batch is the Welker voiced Dekkion, probably one of Welker's best performances as far as Saturday morning fare goes...  Making the Shadow Demons a 2-pack is a nice touch, too.

They look awesome but there is no way in hell I'm getting them. 

My question is are these things for real? 

Am I dreaming? Or is Dave Barry actually making this up? I cannot get over how sturdy the Ultimates are and I can rave all day about the accessories having softish plastic so they don't break. These figures are amazing and feel solid and like I don't have to hold them with pins and needles so pieces don't snap off. 

You might say, "Well Matt, these figures ARE 45 to 55 dollars. Of course they are gonna be high quality and high end." I'd get that argument except for the fact that the Reaction figures are about 10 times cooler looking and sturdier than Funko's old versions. 

Also, it was announced Snowman of Hook Mountain was coming with an alternate helmeted head and I was like "Aw, man! That's bogus! He needs a removable helmet like the LJN version!" And lo and behold the alternate helmeted head is actually missing in my package, replaced by an actual removable helmet! Somebody musta complained and Super7 actually LISTENED. 

I was bummed when Mattel lost the ThunderCats license, but despite the price hike, I'm very glad Super7 is handling things now. They are phenomenal. 

I have never had zero complaints about a toy company before but these guys are amazing. How long have they been around? Has everybody else on this board known how amazing they were this entire time and I'm this late to the game? What gives?

Scorpio would be an inspired choice... 20 waves from now. Krusty is really the only big name in the wave. Super 7 is still resisting doing regular classic versions of the Simpsons themselves so far too.
