Masters of the Universe Skeletor Shogun Masters Mech Figure by Mattel Creations

Masters of the Universe Skeletor Shogun Masters Mech Figure by Mattel Creations

Mattel Creations newest designer art toy drops today, and it is this insane (and huge) Masters of the Universe Skeletor Shogun Masters Figure!  Straight out of Snake Mountain, Skeletor is taking his conflict with He-Man to new heights – by accessing technology from another Mattel world and building his very own Shogun Warrior mech. Now, with wheels on his feet, a rocket-powered fist, a missile-firing staff, and towering at just under two feet tall, this Skeletor figure is emitting some major retro Shogun vibes and setting up his hostile takeover of Eternia.

Nothing can stop this big bad behemoth from acquiring the powers of Greyskull and ruling the universe… except perhaps an equally outsized He-Man, which we all know doesn’t exist… Or does it?  The Blot loves how Skeletor’s Havoc Staff shoots spring-loaded missiles from the ram skull’s mouth.  And thankfully Mattel Creations stayed true to the classic giant Shogun Warrior robot figures of the ’70s by including a right hand that can actually shoot and wheels on the figure’s feet.

Because Mattel was one of the first to introduce U.S. children to Japanese toys with the Shogun Warrior figures and also the pioneers who created MOTU, a Shogun Skeletor is the perfect pairing of two iconic toy lines. And a totally rad way to relive the decade when these toys were created – the awesome ‘80s!

Masters of the Universe Skeletor Shogun Masters Mech Figure by Mattel Creations

The Masters of the Universe Skeletor Shogun Masters Mech Figure by Mattel Creations stands 23.5” tall and will go on sale 12pm ET today, Friday, April 23rd, at MattelCreations.com.  While no price has been stated yet, the rumor flying around the internet is this release will retail for around $300-380 each. I was pretty excited to pick up this new figure to go with my Super7 Super Shogun Figures, but at that price I'll have to pass. Here's hoping that price isn't accurate!

Star Wars “Empire Version” Boba Fett Super Shogun Figure by Super7 x Funko

The Blot almost woke up my sleeping kids last night when I freaking squealed like a little girl after randomly visiting Super7’s online store and noticing they’d posted the all new Star Wars “Empire Version” Boba Fett Super Shogun vinyl figure!!!

Star Wars Celebration Exclusive Boba Fett & Shadowtrooper Super Shogun by Super7 & Funko

Star Wars Celebration 2015 Exclusive Boba Fett Super Shogun Vinyl Figure by Super7 & Funko

Funko has announced its newest collaboration with Super7 will be debuting this week at Star Wars Celebration 2015, and The Blot can’t wait! After a five year delay, the Star Wars Super Shogun toy line is finally being extended with the release of the epic Boba Fett and Shadowtrooper Super Shogun figures! While these are being marketed as Star Wars Celebration 2015 exclusives, I have a hard time believing the Boba Fett figure, with all that tooling, won’t be seeing a wider release. Plus, I really need one in my collection! The last I heard it was only the Shadowtrooper, which is just an all black edition of the original Stormtrooper Super Shogun, that would be a Celebration exclusive.

Star Wars Celebration 2015 Exclusive Shadowtrooper Super Shogun Vinyl Figure by Super7 & Funko

Both the Boba Fett and Shadwotrooper Super Shogun vinyl figures by Super7 and Funko stand 24” tall, have wheeled feet, and feature rocket blasting weapons (left fist and jetpack launcher for Boba and left fist for the Shadowtrooper). Both of these massive figures can be purchased at the Funko Star Wars Celebration booth #1410 this week.

Toy Fair 1st Look: Boba Fett & Shadowtrooper Star Wars Super Shoguns by Super7 & Funko

Toy Fair 1st Look: Boba Fett & Shadowtrooper Super Shoguns by Super7 & Funko

After first being teased almost five years ago (seen here), the Boba Fett Super Shogun vinyl figure is finally being released! Just like the ReAction figure toy line, the Star Wars Super Shogun line will now be produced as a collaboration between Super7 and Funko. Fans went crazy for the original Stormtrooper Super Shogun, but after all this time The Blot honestly thought this project had been abandoned. Now not only are we getting a Boba Fett Super Shogun, but S7 and Funko are expanding the line to include a Shadowtrooper as well. Just check out this awesome picture from Funko’s Instagram feed, which shows both figures on display at Toy Fair 2015.

Has Super7 acquired a license to make Transformers vinyl figures from Hasbro? It appears so! According to this Instagram photo from our friends at Vinyl Pulse, Super7 has a number of cardboard standups at their San Diego Comic-Con 2012 booth advertising a new Transformer line, which would include vinyl figures, t-shirts, drinking glasses, art prints and even an Optimus Prime Super Shogun figure! Is that exciting news or what!?! The Blot is dying to find out what kind of Transformer sofubi vinyl figures Super7 may already have in the works!

Hopefully more news about this exciting collaboration will be leaking out from SDCC throughout the week!

Super7’s hotly anticipated collaboration with Star Wars, the Stormtrooper Super Shogun, was officially released over the weekend and there was an extra special teaser included on the figure’s packaging…a teaser image for the upcoming Boba Fett Super Shogun!!!

Not only that, but the packaged noted that the Stormtrooper Super Shogun was the 1st in a series, so hopefully there’ll are even more Star Wars Super Shoguns in the works. As you know, Boba Fett is one of The Blot’s favorite Star Wars characters, so this is definitely going to be a must get for me.

Star Wars x Super7 Stormtrooper Super Shogun Packaging

Super7 recently unveiled the packaging of its upcoming Star Wars collaboration, the limited edition 24 inch Stormtrooper Super Shogun. Both the figure’s color packaging and cardboard shipping carton look awesome, and I love the way they’ve modeled it after the packaging of old school Super Shogun figures from long ago (see the second photo below).

Each figure also includes two torso stickers, one in English and one in Japanese. Just from the packaging alone, you can really tell the love and passion that was put into this product by the good folks at Super7, and The Blot can’t wait to see the final version of the 24” Stormtrooper Super Shogun in person.

Star Wars x Super7 Stormtrooper Super Shogun Torso Stickers
The Star Wars x Super7 Stormtrooper Super Shogun is currently available for pre-order directly from Super7 here. The figure retails for $299.00, and even at that price these amazing retro figures won’t last long.

Super7 x Star Wars Stormtrooper Super Shogun

Both toy collectors and Star Wars fans alike have been waiting for an official announcement concerning this amazing collaboration between Super7 and Lucasfilm Ltd. for a very long time, and yesterday that announcement was finally released! Utilizing the same techniques implemented by Japanese toy manufacturers in the 1970s, the Super Shogun Stormtrooper is constructed from durable, blow-molded polyethylene with a painted vinyl helmet.

Super7 x Lucasfilm Ltd. Star Wars Super Shogun Stormtrooper
The Star Wars Stormtrooper Super Shogun stands a whopping 24 inches tall and includes all of the features that you expect from an authentic Jumbo: free rotating wheels on the bottom of his feet, and a spring-loaded Rocket Punch firing fist! The figure is articulated at the neck and shoulders, and includes a removable, highly-detailed BlasTech E-11 laser blaster. The blaster even features a posable stock that unfolds from below the barrel. Collectors of both Japanese and Star Wars memorabilia are sure to be impressed with the care taken to fuse the disparate concepts into a new unique entity.

Super7 x Lucasfilm Ltd. Star Wars Super Shogun Stormtrooper
Packaged in an illustrated gift box with iconic graphics from both franchises, each Stormtrooper is individually serial numbered as part of this one time limited edition production run. As a special bonus, metallic foil stickers are included for you to customize the torso with the character name in English or in Japanese. The 24” Super7 x Star Wars Super Shogun Stormtrooper will retail for $300 each and will go be available through www.starwars.super7store.com soon, a new dedicated mini-website launched in celebration of this figure’s impending release.
