Are all Action Figure Lines Dead?

Let's talk about Funko and Super 7's great line of ReAction and Legacy action figures. They don't bobble or pop, but they thrill in their own fun way.

I agree with you EZA the card art was fantastic on them and wish they would have been more successful to help us see more of that awesome card art. :freddy3:


I would love to be able to just buy the blister cards without the bubble and display them

For me it's the price. I'd totally collect more action figures but $30 retail? Come on! If it were $10, I would be able to buy three for the price of one. That's how Funko pops are. Not cheap, but pretty affordable.

Does anyone know if Super7 Reaction has a forum? I tried googling. I recently fell in love with their product and already have like 15 figures

I’m a fan of the reaction figures, I have a few of the Funko ones. It would be cool to see them make some more figures like that one day

Super7 is running hard and fast with the ReAction line. Lots of cool stuff happening over there, just without the license support of Funko.

I’ve collected a few of the Super7 lines, I like how more obscure they go than Funko sometimes

I loved the bigger action figures Funko used to do. The detail was amazing on the Fallout figures.

I wish they could get a Star Wars line with bubble cards, but I would assume to similar to Kenner/ Hasbro.

If I only could, I'd make a deal with Zod, and get him to resurrect action figure lines...

McFarlane toys have been on fire the last 2 years. I'm so invested in Pops it's hard for me to get into other Funko lines. Rock candy and dorbz never caught on for me

If funko decide to release more reaction figure should be in limited #. I say limited to 200 pcs. Worldwide. The. It might peak peoples interest.

Hasbro has the rights to Star Wars action figures at that size. Hasbro is doing a very good job. Their biggest problem is that the stores do not carry the line for the kids to see on a strong scale. Losing Toys R Us really hurt kids playing with toys :freddy2: :freddy2: :freddy2: .

They just announced some Overwatch 2 action figures today, so it looks like they're not done quite yet!

I have always thought that the action figures look great but I think price and availability are a factor in their popularity

I really liked this line and still have a bunch of them on display in my house. Best GoT figures for your dollar in my opinion that were made. The action figure collectible market is just so different now than it was when these came out with different manufacturers, costs, and buying habits. I often walk into comic shops and other stuff just to see these types of figures sit on shelves for extended periods.
