    Always loved those shogun warriors.
    I only had a fistless TranzorZ that a neighbor kid let me have.

    Ugh, how the crap is this company still a float. They crap on motu and more recently tf. This was the garbage found at the bottom of powder nestle quick 1987... sure there is some nostalgia, but clearly not display value. wtf??? I'm not 7 any more and those trash chocolate milk muscle men figures have long be tossed. Is this even profitable or is it just another chromosome 33 business model?

    I'll be very surprised if this is priced at $100. I could be wrong, but I would bet on double that.

    Thank you

    I don't get that same sense of epic scale and proportions like the OG toys I vaguely remember.

    I'm not well-versed in Super 7, but is the company that bad?

    Shogun Warriors figures were before my time so I can't really say this appeals to me, but this is a fun idea imo. It definitely captures the vibe of those old toys.

    I have to wonder that myself, since Shogun Warriors haven't really been a thing since the mid-'70s...y'know, almost 50 years ago. Even when Mattel shoehorned Godzilla and Rodan into the original line, it seems like it made at least some sense because the last Showa movies were still coming out in the States, plus G had a Marvel comic AND an HB cartoon at around the same time.

    What old toys?
    Because it doesn't remind me of the Transformers G1 toys and it doesn't remind me of the Shogun Warriors line either.
    Maybe if it had some flying fists or missiles or something.
    Plus, it's $350.
    Absurd.

    Sorry if that seemed snarky, but I don't really know how to phrase my question another way.
    Snarkiness and judgment is not my intent.

    Ooof, almost double the double. Didn't quite see that coming.

    Edited to add: I want this, but that price is a hard pill to swallow. That's what I paid for Lewin Atlas - a toy that's bigger, weighs probably 50 times as much and has hundreds of parts.

    Thank you

    Plus, it was the ONLY Godzilla toy I had at the time and it was mostly in scale with my Star Wars figures.

    I see $350 which is almost quadruple.

    I'm not sure that I'd list "three points of articulation" as a key feature...

    This looks lovely, despite being rather pricey, would like to own this bad boy. Shogun Warriors are still awesome.

    I said (almost) double the double. You said (almost) quadruple. That's the same thing. 1x2x2 = 4, 1x4 = 4.

    Thank you
