Super7 Teases and Unveils More SDCC Releases!
Let’s start with a couple of Super7’s reveals before we get into their teasers! First up is their debut release of their Heavy Metal collaborative figure from the mind of Jack Kirby himself. Super7 is happy to bring to you their SDCC exclusive Lord of Light figure. Their exclusive features a special black and gold variant on matching card.
Super7’s original line of action figures make it to M.U.S.C.L.E. form! Sculpted by the talented SerisouslySillyK, these figures will be available in both blue and green. We have a feeling we may see more of the Worst at SDCC, as well as M.U.S.C.L.E. figures! All of which can be found at their booth #4945.
Now onto their teasers! One of which is a big surprise, as we notice Super7 now have a special collaboration with the musical duo, UNKLE. We also know UNKLE for their design by the legendary Futura, which is one of the most popular toys from the early era of urban vinyl toys. What could their collaboration with Super7 bring? ReAction Figures? M.U.S.C.L.E. Figures? Japanese Soft Vinyl? We shall wait and see!
From their Masters of the Universe side of things, it looks like the Skeletor’s Lair will be well stocked with goodies with what looks like a 3.75” style Battle Armor Skeletor and a collectors case?!

Super 7 at SDCC – Teasers and Dual Pop-Ups
Super7 has begun to slowly unveil its hand for SDCC 2017. As is now tradition, Super7 will release product at their SDCC booth proper as well as at pop-up events held at their San Diego store. In addition to the ever-popular Skeletor’s Lair (Wed-Fri, 7.21-7.23) focusing on S7 x MOTU toys and merch, the store will also host a mystery pop-up (Sat-Sun, 7.24-7.25).
Since we’re still several weeks out, S7 is teasing their numerous SDCC drops and exclusives. Take a look below for all that’s been (partially) revealed so far. It looks like there’s a generous serving of Alien product on the menu from new editions of the Alien Queen and Power Loader toys (above) to what appears to be an intriguing vacuform Alien head. There’s also a few other teases that we aren’t quite sure what to make of yet. And yes, if you’re curious, turning up the brightness on the dark teasers reveals more info—an exercise we’ll leave to enquiring minds.
