The spacesuit one is awesome!

 

 

 

The hands on that alien though... geez.

[bigazzhead]

Hmm the Aline in the first pic seems to have a seam running down it's face. Looks like the head is molded separately and then glued on.  Not sure how i feel about that. Though with all the undercuts there may not be another way other than to just re do all together.

[BaltanII]

I'd definitely rather have the Alien head as a separate piece than for Super7 to make some kind of sacrifice to the design solely to ensure the figure was a single molded piece. Plus, it's not as if MUSCLE doesn't have a history with separately-molded pieces! Only thing missing here is the head not remaining on a separate sprue, but I'm sure that's because it's simpler on their part to do the figure this way than to worry themselves about small parts regulations.

Seller on ebay from Hong Kong has several sets for sale without packaging. Such as:

Are these legit or bootlegs?

It's pretty interesting. This was discussed on another forum recently as well. It seems most of the stuff SUPER7 makes in China ends up on ebay from China sellers before and after it's sold officially in the US and often for huge discounts. Someone I know bought a few of the action figures from SUPER7 and a couple from a China ebay seller to compare. The SUPER7 version was just under 20 bucks and had the blister card packaging. The China version had no packaging and was under 5 bucks. The actual figures were exactly the same in every single way.

 

So the common conclusion is that either some stuff is walking out of the backdoor of the factory or maybe instead of tossing out stuff that doesn't meet the quality control standards someone is just taking it home and selling it online. I would assume it's the backdoor thing considering the quality seems perfect.

 

Of course it is just as possible that SUPER7 is giving them permission to sell non-packaged stock themselves. 

[reubencollins]

Thanks for the info. I'm excited to get mine and will compare them to the legit figures for quality.

Super7 announced that Series 2 MOTUSCLE will soon be available in the multi-color cans. No specific date given, just this summer.

I just got my series 1 can today. It's awesome! I agree with people who say they're a little thin but it's fine IMO.

There is another possibility. The workers might be running some off to sell themselves. Happened with some ninja turtle bootlegs. they were nearly indistinguishable from the real deal. plastic quality and paint apps were correct, since the factory was all ready making the legitly. Same thing could be going on here. For those who are curious, it was the NECA turtles figures.

I'm not sure if it's the case for all of the MOTUSCLE figures, but I'd be careful purchasing the lavender Nerd Block exclusive colorway off Chinese sellers on eBay.  Mine arrived with some discoloration on a few of the figures and Spikor's hand was broken off.  Thankfully I ended up getting a complete brand new set a few months later.

 

However, I did order the black set from China and they are perfect.

[atomatron]

i just ordered 12 cans of wave 2 from super7..fml and my wallet

[mike853]

Finally put my order in for wave 2 cans, I waited until after sdcc so I could get all that stuff as well, super7 are costing me a small fortune on these muscle figures

i put in an order on bbts for the vehicle packs so those might be a little wait for me

[atomatron]

not too happy with super 7 right now... ordered Sunday. site says they ship on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Well Tuesday AND Thursday went by...still not shipped. What did I pay $34 for then?

Wow, that sucks.  One half of my order actually did ship on Thursday (8 days AFTER I had placed the order).  The first part arrived and some of the SDCC stuff has fairly worn packaging.  Considering the completely ridiculous shipping charges and slow shipping I may be done ordering from them directly.  I guess whatever I can't get from BBTS or eBay I just won't be bothering with.

 

Very disappointing!

[atomatron]

still nothing and no reply to my inquiry (after 3 days) either...speechless

[fkro6784]

To the above comments - yeah, Super7 releases some cool stuff, but they are a logistical/customer service nightmare. I ordered a bunch of stuff about 10 days ago, and it hasn't been shipped yet. Plus no notices I've seen on their pages to expect delayed shipping or anything like that. This is a regular thing with them, and they also rarely answer customer service emails. Very frustrating.

[bigazzhead]

I didnt get the notice of shipment email til a few hours before my po box received it. And of course they sent me the wrong color for one of the items.

[mike853]

I've actually never had any problems with them and I'm in UK, shipping cost is high but not unreasonably so and they always reply to my emails, helped me out a few times aswel

[ironmask]

Mine just shipped today, and I ordered them over a week ago.
Shit happens sometimes, I get it, but it does factor in the next time I consider ordering.

[kingkarl]

I'm in Blighty too and I've found them great to deal with.

Never had an issue with anything I'v ordered. They say that they only ship on Tuesdays and Thursdays. So that's what I expect. I made an order last Friday and got shipping confirmation yesterday.(Thursday)
