Received my figures on Monday but waited until yesterday to open them. All of the figures exceeded my expectations other than Okada’s weird cartoon head. I cannot explain that one.
My only complaints are the looseness of the legs and the stiffness of the arms. Other than that, I feel like they are in fact worth the price. I threw some pics up on IG if anyone is interested and included a few shots of the diecast IWGP championship produced years ago side-by-side with the Super7 IWGP championship.

I’ve got my two shipment confirmations today.
I placed two orders to complete the set maybe 2 weeks apart. Both shipped at the same time.

Considering how popular the Elite Ryder and Hawkins figures were I doubt it. Allegedly the standard price for all Super 7 Ultimates is going to be increasing to $60-65. WOW. I can't believe they will get enough orders at 60 a pop for anything, even Turtles. I wanted to get one or two turtles, but I just couldn't manage 45. Can't imagine 60...
Agreed. 60-65, to me, starts putting them into the higher end collectible range like Mezco, Storm, etc, and I can't say that any of my S7 stuff is up there with that. If that's the case, I'm out after two waves, I guess. Glad my fiancée preordered me all four TMNT back at Christmas and I don't have to worry about those either. |

The Ghost Papa Emeritus is 55.00, but the Conan figures that went up after him were 45.00. Then Transformers went to 55.00, but the collectors of that line are used to paying high prices on most of the figures in that line that are specialty. Toxie is 55.00 So there pricing is all over right now. They really shouldn't be looking at a 10.00 price jump should go up gradually, 40.00 on a set of 4 is a tougher pill to swallow, them Star Wars black who went up to 22.99 3.00 increase on a set is between 12.00-15.00 depending if its a 4 or 5 figure set. There not really high end figures to be asking that type of prices.

They're $35 figures at the most. Also, IMO, their jacked up prices messed up the MOTU classics aftermarket with prices being ridiculous now, even for scrub characters.

There not really high end figures to be asking that type of prices. It could be due in part to the licensing fees in order to acquire the rights...or things might be shifted due to a higher or lower demand. |

Mine arrived also. Overall I like them alot. Ishii and Okada have awful leg articulation though. I know this is going to be a weird nitpick, but there was WAAAAAY too much packaging.

Well the latest TMNT wave is $55 each; so whoever said the prices were increasing was right.

Retrieved my full S7 set and loose Okada yesterday. Pretty much the same feelings as the majority of folks. Clothing is stellar. Attires look sharp and crisp. Love the packaging design. Figure isn't fantastic but not as bad as pics made them appear. Worry a tad about the longevity of the joints. Belt has a decent sculpt but you cannot fasten it back with the strap's material, and the gold is a little too rich.

Realized earlier we are still waiting on 1971 Japan Andre (not technically NJPW). This figure was put up for pre-Order over 6 months ago with no real updates. The only info I can find on it is from B B TS that says sometime in Q2.

Like most, I was getting pretty shitty with the delays on these, but I was impressed that it took S7 a week - ten days to get this shipped to Australia.
The protection in the packaging was substantially better than RSC too (which isn’t saying much).
