Super7 Was at SDCC with a nice spread. Not only do they have great stuff, but the booth was great and everyone was accessible as always. This was the first time I met Glenn and Chad in person, and both were really nice guys.
Brian and I talked about the next edition of Tokyo Underground, and it looks like we are aiming for the holiday season this year to put out an updated edition, with a larger print run. So if you missed out on a copy the first time around, now is your second chance....
The Jumbo Stormtrooper inspired Shock and Awe. How was something this cool kept hidden for so long? This is a fully-licensed product, co-produced by Super7 and Kotobukiya (although only sold as Super7). The figure will be REAL jumbo material, include a gun that fires jumbo missiles, and even will have the wheels on the feet. This thing should retail for about $300, and will have 1000 pcs in the US and 1000 pcs overseas. If this does well, it will be followed by Darth Vader and Boba Fett.
I ended up getting some good vinyl from Super7, including the new Burning Anger Stomp. Lots of great items on display, including a prototype L'amour Supreme vinyl

3 comments postedAh, so 2000 pieces total then, huh? That's great. I thought it was only going to be half that. I'll definitely be making every effort to ensure that I get at least one of these Jumbos and hopefully everyone else will follow suit (AFTER I get mine!) and other characters are made. No surprise, but I'm pretty excited about this! :)

It's like they have your picture on the wall at Super7 and they said " Let's make this Stormtrooper Jumbo to Make Dave happy!" Freakin' killer looking toy that was destined to be a part of your collection.
Cheers!

That stormtrooper jumbo is a must have! Any word on a release date or if there will be preorders? Nothing yet on the Super7 store site.
