Just spoke with a Super 7 rep at SDCC. They just signed a license with Hasbro to produce vinyl figures and collectibles. The big news is that they'll be producing a 2 foot Optimus Prime Shogun-style vinyl figure in 2013.

Not shotgun, Shogun figure.

They produced a similar stormtrooper 2 years ago:

Seibertron.com member and News Crew Emeritus DevastaTTor brings us a bit of news from SDCC 2012. Super 7 has signed a deal with Hasbro, and will be releasing a 2 foot Shogun-style Optimus Prime next year.

For those unfamiliar with Super7 here's a quick rundown from Rebelscum.com when they reviewed the Stars Wars SUPER SHOGUN STORMTROOPER:

Rebelscum.com wrote:Who the heck is Super 7?
Super7 was founded in 2001 by former Nike and Fossil designer Brian Flynn. As a lifelong collector of Star Wars and Kaiju vinyl figures, it was (somewhat) natural for Brian to take his toy interests and meld them with his unique design sensibilities to create a magazine devoted to the obsessive-compulsive world of Japanese toy collecting. The success of the magazine immediately led to collaborations with Japanese manufacturers to release exclusive toys, and evolved over time to us manufacturing our own original creations. To date, we've released over 350 original and exclusive toys by collaborating with Tim Biskup, Gary Baseman, Todd Schorr, and dozens of other renowned artists. First and foremost, our philosophy is to make products -toys, books, magazines, t-shirts, etc- that we would want to own ourselves.

That Stormtrooper looks like a piece of junk. I can't believe anyone would pay more than $50 for that, let alone $300! 8-}

Ditto. They should give the license to Kaiyodo to make more Revoltech figures.

Thirded. Good lord, that looks horrid. Their Optimus ain't gonna be any better, methinks.
Not caring about scale since 1984. Just like Hasbro.

So ... we're venturing back into the area of high priced non-transforming junk.

Awesome.

Wrestling is just a male soap opera, though less believable.

Now if it transformed INTO something I may be interested, but it won't so I'm not caring.
