Super7 Reveals MOTU Classics at NYCC 2016


 
So as you know by now, the big news from NYCC 2016 was that Super7 revealed their take on the Masters of the Universe. They call it the Ultimate Collection and the following figures were revealed:
 
He-Man
Skeletor
Ram Man
Teela
Faker

I must say that this was a wonderful idea from Super7 to release these figures with extra accessories that was previously issued with other figures. It is a master touch on the side of Super7!!


Other News:

1.    Super7 will use the same factory as was used before. There will be no difference in color or quality of plastic that will be used.
2.    No final decision on pricing, but it seem like the price rage could be $30 to $35.
3.    No final decision has been made on how the figures will be offered to Collectors. It could be offered via a Sub System or a Pre-Order System.
4.    It seems like we will be able to start ordering the figures in November or December.
5.    There will be 8 Figures in the Ultimate Collection and 8 Filmation Figures.
6.    More reveals will follow at a later stage.
7.    The packaging for the Ultimate Collection and the Filmation Figures will stay the same as the current packaging.

Let’s take a look at each figures:

He-Man:

 
He-man will be released with the following accessories:

Classic Head
Alcala Head
Vintage Head
1 x Classic Power Sword
1 x Halve Power Sword
Alcala Power Sword
Ax
Shield

Skeletor:

 
Skeletor will be released with the following accessories:

Classic Head
Alcala Head
Keldor Head
Keldor Cape
1 x Classic Power Swords
1 x Halve Power Sword
Alcala Power Sword
Havoc Staff

Something extra that I would liked to have seen released with Skeletor is the Keldor 200x Split Swords.

Ram Man:


Ram Man will be released in the Vintage Mini Comic Colors and also as seen on the Back Cards of the Vintage MOTU Figures. Ram will be released with the following accessories:

Classic Head
Classic Un-helmeted Head
Classic Ax

Something extra that I would liked to have seen released with Ram Man is a Classic Head with open eyes.

Teela:

 
Teela will be released with the following accessories:

Classic Head
Classic Head, but painted Blonde
Battle Ground Teela Head
Snake Armor Classic Head
Snake Armor
Staff
Goddess Spear
Classic Sword

Something extra that I would liked to have seen released with Teela a Golden Shield. This will enable collectors to own a Prototype Teela. (Teela with Snake Armor, Goddess Spear with Golden Shield)

Faker:



Faker  will be released with the following accessories:

Classic Head
Vintage Head
Battle Damaged Head
1 x Classic Power Sword
1 x Halve Power Sword
Alcala Power Sword
Ax
Shield

Something extra that I would liked to have seen released with Faker is his Red Vintage Mini Comic Armor and also as seen on the Vintage Back Cards. A great idea will also be to release Faker with his Classic Battle Damaged Armor.

Final Thoughts:

Super7 really kicked off with a bang. At this stage they are enabling new collectors to start collecting hard to find figures at a decent price. Hopefully this will kick Ebay Sellers in the bud. Thanks so much for Teela. I think she never had a re-lease before and she is one of the hard to find figures at this moment.
 
I think with Super7 leading the way a lot of Collectors will join the MOTU Family again.
 
Well done to Super7 and the team behind them. This is a job well done!!!
