New Super7 Transformers ReActions Figures Revealed- Blitzwing, Perceptor, Dirge and Blaster

I can't unsee these....I wish I could...

Just saw figures of Galvatron, dead Optimus, Hot Rod, & Coronation Starscream…
I actually like the look of Galvatron.

Who out there collects the Transformers ReAction figures from Super7? These are the non transforming retro figures meant to emulate the Star Wars figures of old. They seem to have a fanbase spread much beyond the Transformers fan base. We know this since while I have yet to hear about much excitement within the community, the newly revealed Target exclusives sold out their preorders within minutes. They will be in stores in February 2022 though, so you have another chance at getting them then. These are the Gold Lagoon versions of Optimus Prime and Megatron.

But wait, there's more!

We also have a Facebook post form Super7 themselves unveiling their new Christmas themed Optimus Prime! this toy is due out in November. All these toys are around the 18$ mark. You can preorder this Christmas Prime at BBTS: https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/ ... ils/181059

Okay so these are absolutely pointless and dumb to me.

But I really like that candy cane blaster. If it was 5mm, I might even buy Santa Prime just for it.

I agree, as I wrote in the article, I feel the collectors of this line are not also transformers collectors. Which is interesting. While this line stars some of our hobby's main characters, it seems to exist outside of the hobby. Not sure if the Funko Pops line is similar.

I buy them, which usually counts for nothing at all, but I don't collect licensed TF products carte blanche. I keep them on the card and will have them take up a wall someday, which is what I already do with the old HoCs. They're stunning on the card. I wasn't into them until I bought Grimlock just because it was Grimlock, but I fell in love.

Now some of their other stuff like the Cyborgs? Full pass, not for me.

I had a feeling you bought them. What about Funko pops, are yiu going for a complete collection of those too?

I am in exactly the same boat as Scotty.
Keeping these MOSC for future display on a wall.
I think they look amazing and the ActionMaster feels are pretty strong for me, tbh.
Cyborgs and the like, not as interesting to me, which keeps my wallet in line.

Funko, only have the 1 Convention exclusive Grimlock, and that was because it was crazy cheap @ Gamestop; $7, i believe.
Not really of interest to me otherwise but do appreciate the efforts on Funko part to get them out there.
The only other one i may get is ShockWave and that is mainly to display next to the Mighty Muggs version i got years ago for cheap as an interesting, to me at least, comparison in aesthetics.

I’m all over that Christmas themed Prime.

I'll take Santa Prime. I will do that one, just once

Well, I got one of these little things. I bought the Santa Prime because finally a Christmas TF, and christmas is my favorite holiday.

Having him in hand, this is still something I like the idea of owning, but do not recommend at all. This thing was $19.32 after tax, with the $4 BBTS shipping, so like $23ish for the whole thing. It is maybe worth $8 if that, this thing is on par with Cyberverse scouts. It is just not good. I am glad they made a Santa Prime, but this will be the only ReAction figure I get, no doubt.

We have some fun news for ReAction figures fans with images for the next wave. This one features Arcee, Grimlock, Prowl and Reflector all with a very G1 Sunbow aesthetic. While they all cost $17.99, Grimlock is substantially bigger than the rest, as you can see from the packaging images. These are already available for preorder at a few websites including BBTS. These are due out this month.

Arcee's face reminds me of the Palisades statue.

They mixed up Blaster and Perceptor's names...

I cannot wait until Super 7 makes sharkticons

This Arcee, compared to the Masterpiece's torso *and* the Bumblebee Movie Arcee's face, seems "Uplifted".

And so, the Action Master Arcee that was a BotCon pipe dream sometime back in the '90s, has finally (well, effectively) come to pass...but only after her Masterpiece toy and dozens of others, official and 3P.

Yet for that reason, she might end up being the second ReActon TF I buy after Deadimus Prime. Still on the fence about really collecting this line. That Reflector might be my tipping point though. I can see ignoring him or army-building, there's no in between. Even allowing that there should be twice as many without the tummy-lens, a second one could be "Warrior" from Divide and Conquer. "No! Please! Not me! No!"

My Re-Action to these figures:

Ew... Goddamn ugly, limited articulations, and almost 20$US each. All of my nope.
Still, the artwork on the cards are amazing. If by some bizarre circumstance I buy one of these, the toy would remain sealed and I'd hang the card on the wall.

New Super 7 toys have been found at Target by RMaster who posted images on Twitter. The two toys found were G2 Grimlock and toy deco Galvatron. However, the even bigger news here is that the back of the card revealed more toys coming in this line. We can see Cyclonus, Ultra Magnus, Wreck-Gar, Sharkticon, Quintesson and best of all Unicron. And this isn't modelled after the Transformers movie but is instead modelled after the original prototype of the G1 Unicron toy. You can see an image of that original toy below. So now that means that this never released design will actually get a release. Albeit a smaller non transforming one. Still, it will be a 6 inch ReAction figure, so it will be one of the bigger figures in this line.

This is incredible but I have to admit it does feel a little off this Unicron is being done by a company that's not Hasbro.
