Mondo's not without issues, of course (there's absolutely no excuse for Jubilee's skin tone not being uniform on a nearly $200 figure), but they run circles around Super7 in almost every measurable way. |

However, if Mondo are considering 6.5" Ghostbusters, this opens up a realm of possibilities. Imagine if they released X-men in that scale, especially with Zelu on board. That would literally annihilate the Legends and Selects line. There's nothing even close (perhaps, the Kotobukiya line but those were short-lived and stactions). It's possible that Super7 may carve out a niche for themselves if they are able to market the 2k3 figures properly with superior quality assurance, similar to what The Loyal Subjects is doing with IDW. They really need to make a memorable impression and release a few more heavy hitters (e.g. Traag, Usagi, Napolean and Chrome Dome) before closing the vintage line.

If/when they show the 2003 line, will that mark the end of the original toon line or will they support both lines?
Only asking because I didn’t grow up on 2003, so figuring out if I need to round out the few I’m missing currently.

IF it is no longer the original Playmates stuff, they'll never admit it because they know that'll cause some fans to jump ship.

I believe on one of the Veebs "interviews" Flynn said they were going to alternate between 2K3 and psuedo-vintage every other wave.

That is my memory as well but I also think he said that a long time ago, like year+. A lot might have changed since then and with their solicitations being so sparse for the line lately I'm really not holding my breath. I've been pretty much assuming the vintage line is dead for awhile now just to soften the blow.

I will say I did like that movie version of Toxie they just showed photos of, even if it's just another lazy repaint lol

No, the disappointment comes when they arrive at your door.
Kidding, but only kind of. I actually finally got Krang yesterday. I'd been waiting for him to hit that steep discount $25ish range that so many other figures have but for some reason he never did. So I grabbed a used one off ebay. It's actually pretty decent. I've read plenty of stories about the legs being useless but mine are holding a pose ok so far. I did have to reassemble one of them, it came apart in transit. Thankfully it snapped back together easily enough. It's got me jonesing for the last few "vintage" figures I need from Super7, Wingnut, Genghis, and Scumbug. |

I'm curious to know if Genghis, Space Cadet Raph, and Robot Rocksteady will get steep discounts. I'm afraid they might just go out of stock before that happens. Super7 has been underproducing lately. |

I ain't even a Brian hater or anything like that, but his credibility has been getting more and more dubious with each new interview, honestly. And I love the Super7 Ultimates line. Obviously, or I wouldn't even be itching at finding out news of new releases. But Brian's kinda been a little full of hot air lately.

Yep, I'm on a budget and I'm tired of feeling guilty for giving into FOMO. If I can save even just $10 per figure (which shouldn't be hard) then I'll view that as a win. |

And I know I can get pretty much everything for 10% off these days from Entertainment Earth, so that's the bare minimum. Turtles are the only thing I still got on preorder from them because I've seen Super7 cancel enough stuff - but I cancelled everything else. |

I think after having to put them on deep discount, some vendors such as EE & BBTS have lowered their initial orders. EE has sold out of preorders for the most recent waves very quickly. Wave 7 that should be released in a couple months may be the last to see those kind of discounts since their orders were placed such a long time ago.
