If you’ve been reading The Blot Says for a while, then you know I’m a diehard Super7 fan. S7 has always done an incredible job engaging with their collectors, taking feedback, and being as transparent as possible on the progress of different releases. And even though they don’t release as much sofubi as they used to, The Blot still likes to support all of the company’s many projects. So I was super excited when Super7 kicked off its 20th Anniversary celebration last week with an amazing new batch of soft Japanese vinyl figures of their most iconic original characters – Mummy Boy, Pumpkin Boy, Rose Vampire and Wing Kong!
Twenty years ago this year, no one was making what we wanted. In 2001, Super7 started as a magazine about vintage Japanese toys. We took our backgrounds in punk and skate fanzines, design and production, and eventually started making things ourselves. The Super7 20th Anniversary collection is a celebration and we want to thank all of the friends and fans we’ve made over the past 20 years! – Super7
Each figure in the Super7 20th Anniversary Sofubi Collection is cast in a unique one of a kind creamy orange and glow in the dark marbled vinyl pattern with soft yellow, red and metallic gold sprays. Handmade, hand-painted, and imported from Japan, these limited edition releases come poly-bagged with a custom header card. Mummy Boy and Pumpkin Boy are mascot size (6” tall) and retail for $85 each, while the Rose Vampire is Monster Family size (4”) and retails for $60. Wing Kong is a whopping 9” tall, also features black sprays, and retails for $125. Fans can pre-order all four figures now at Super7.com.
