These are the polar opposite of the ReAction line: banking on nostalgia, but actually tweaking them for the modern era of collector figures, instead of producing cheap figure that needlessly retain the worst parts of figures past.

Well said.

I'm eager to see how Super 7 can turn the godawful Playmates version of Shredder into a figure that actually looks cool. I always hated the costume design for the toy version of Shredder back then.

I wonder if Super 7 will eventually do this hilarious April variant...
