SUPER7 ANNOUNCES PARTNERSHIP WITH DISNEY
San Francisco, California – August 5, 2020
What do you get when you cross a fanatical bunch of toy makers with one of the most imaginative brands on earth?
Pure magic.
We are thrilled to announce the beginning of what we imagine will be an amazing creative partnership between Super7 and our childhood heroes over at Disney. It begins today, with the launch of our first three Disney collectibles: a trio of Ultimates! Figures commemorating some of our favorite characters from the formative years of the Magic Kingdom. It will continue with…well, you’ll just have to wait and see.
Ultimates! Figures are the perfect medium for our Disney launch. They provide an opportunity to serve up all bells and whistles; the ability to create something truly unique for both the Super7 and Disney obsessive fan. Our approach, as with everything, was to dig beneath the surface to find the spirit and the angles that allow us to make the toys we always wanted. The details expressed in each Ultimates! Figure are unrivaled; exactly what you want when you’re working with the classics. And the care taken to create each? That, too, is on another level.
As to who gets this very special treatment, we dove deep and emerged with a few that have always held a special place in our hearts. Ones that represent the Super7 way of looking at the world. Here’s the exclusive lineup:
Sorcerer’s Apprentice Mickey Mouse
From the timeless animated classic Fantasia comes Mickey Mouse, in the role that captured our imaginations as far back as we can remember. We used that same kind of big dreaming, hustle, know-how and a little bit of magic to bring this little marvel to life. Our first Disney toy ever is super poseable and features three interchangeable expressive heads, interchangeable hands, two water buckets, animated broom, axe and the Sorcerer’s giant spell book. The Ultimates Sorcerer’s Apprentice is also dressed in a tailored, velvety-soft wizard robe with a real rope tied waistband.Pinocchio
One of the darkest, wildest, most incredible stories ever set to animation cels, Pinocchio gave us nightmares for years, and a hard-won set of lessons for the rest of our lives. The puppet with a penchant for tall tales and a curiosity for life reflected our deep yearning for adventure, and to fit in – perfectly telling the tale of becoming the person you’re meant to be. Super7’s Ultimates! Pinocchio is a super poseable action figure with 3 interchangeable heads showing his growing nose, interchangeable hands, his conscience Jiminy Cricket (of course), school book, axe, apple, Cleo’s fishbowl, Figaro the Cat, and a smart fabric vest with gold trim.Prince John
Truly one of the great cartoon villains, Prince John and his maneless, spineless monarchy is a masterclass in political mismanagement; one he pays dearly for. Particularly with Robin Hood stealing John’s resources any time his back is turned. The Prince John Ultimates! super poseable action figure features three interchangeable heads, interchangeable hands with and without the jewels of his rings, two versions of the slithering assistant Sir Hiss, a vanity mirror, and a luxurious, plush velvet regal robe with fur trim.All three characters are now available at preorder.super7store.com. They can be purchased individually at $45 or in a set for $135 from August 5th to September 5th.
Once again, we’re thrilled that Disney has given us this rare opportunity to bring our point of view to characters and experiences that helped define our own childhood. We hope you like them—and we can’t wait to show you what else we’re making from our favorite Disney moments from film, TV, and Parks.
Signed,
The Super7 Crew

Disney Ultimates Figures Announced by Super7
Now that's unexpected...
I never knew I wanted an action figure of Pinocchio but now I definitely do. I want to see where these figures go.
I hope Mickey has at least one walking broomstick.
Whoa! It's no exaggeration to say this is a dream come true. I was certain these figures were going to be Reactions. Hope this leads to many, many more Disney characters.
Wow. Really nice. I might be in. I had my neca turtle money set aside, but since that’s not going to happen I was gonna buy a second sentinel. Maybe these are in the cards in stead.
I just want to know how deep and far this line is prepared to go. I don’t want one of those one hit wonder series.
I may be in for all 3, but definitely getting the Prince!

This look amazing.
I'm a huge Disney classic fan, and there's been not much for adult collectors since the old Magical Collection by Tomy (which was a pain to find all, as they were mainly sold in Asia.
Hope this collection stays classic and not moving into Frozen territory.
Hoping for some Disney Afternoon-stuff, especially Gargoyles.
I don’t think the sculpts on these are that much better than what you’d find in Disney’s ToyBox line. Especially considering these will probably cost a considerable amount more. Hopefully this line might produce some characters you wouldn’t find in that line though.
I was ready to immediately write this off but prince John and sir hiss? Fuck me
I could make a wishlist but the pool of figures possible for this line is so extensive as is the love my family and I have for Disney that it's a safe bet I'll want whatever Super7 makes. As it is just with these three reveals it has me pondering the possibilities for complimentary figures. Sorcerer's Apprentice Mickey is probably fine on his own but they could make the Sorcerer and I'd be down for it. Doubt it though. Same thing with Pinocchio. It's cool if he's the standalone representative of his movie but Geppetto would be awesome. That's right. I'm ecstatic about the prospect of buying an action of an old man that isn't Stan Lee. And I notice Pinocchio has Jiminy Cricket and Figaro but Cleo the goldfish isn't there so who knows, maybe Geppetto actually is in the works and he'll have her as a pack-in. Prince John though definitely opens up possibilities for future character releases. Robin Hood I feel would be a given but hopefully there'll be a Maid Marian and even Little John. This line has so many possibilities and I'm excited for all of them.
Damn it now I'm thinking of a Mowgli.
I wonder if the scale will be consistent between all these figures. Like I don't want a 7" Sorcerer Mickey standing next to a 7" Prince John. Mickey needs to be much smaller. If they ever do a Sorceror figure too, he needs to be much bigger in comparison to their Mickey. So far the pics don't seem to indicate how these will scale with each other.
I wonder if they're going to include The Simpsons as a part of the Disney family - which they seem to be doing now - or if we could even get a separate Simpsons Ultimates line.
Scale will be a selling point for me too. It doesn't need to be "perfect", but it would need to be there. If it's not I'll likely cherry-pick a figure here and there (Mickey in the case of this wave). If there is a decent effort to scale, I'm all in on this wave, plus potentially a lot of whtever's in the pipeline.
If Mickey and Pinnochio are around 4-5" inches in height, then we're going to need human characters like Snow White or Gepetto to be bigger than the typical 7" scale Super 7 is known for with its Ultimates lines. Probably more like 8-9" in height. Unless of course Mickey and Pinnochio are smaller than these pics suggest, like 3-4", then maybe the 7" scale for humans would be fine.
Pinocchio is, as always a creepy little character.
Love the Prince John with Sir Hiss and the Mickey.
Hoping for Robin Hood, Maid Marion and Little John.
Love the Prince John with Sir Hiss and the Mickey.
I kinda want a bunch of these for my kingdom hearts collection even if they won't scale well
Yes! Ultimates! Not ReAction XD
This is tugging the memmerberries big time. I could be picking these up.
