Super7's SDCC 2012 Exclusives | Designer Vinyl Toys & Art Culture | Clutter Magazine | Tags: SDCC, SDCC 2012, super7

"We grew up with giant monsters, comic books, punk, science fiction, skateboarding, robots & rebellion. No one made want we wanted," lamented Super7. "So we made it ourselves." And that's exactly what they've done for eleven years now, produced the coolest toys that fans could ask for. As is deserving for such an amazing company, Super7 are planning to make their presence at the 2012 San Diego Comic-Con truly epic: free trading cards, 14 exclusive vinyl toy releases, custom made figures, prizes with random purchases, and so much more. 

The first ever Super7 Trading Card Series is set to be released at SDCC and every purchase from Super7's Booth #4729 will come with a free pack of these beauties. Each pack of eight old-school style chipboard cards comes packaged in a wax wrapper and the cards themselves feature brand new illustrations and images from Joshua Herbolsheimer, Invisible Creature, Matthew Allison and many more of the Super7 regulars. In fact, each and every one of the 14 exclusive releases for SDCC will come with a trading card representative of that release which isn't available in the wax packs.

The debut release of the Brian Flynn's 3-inch-tall Pocket Baseball Boy, which is a new evolution of Pocket Mummy Boy with a brand new head sculpt, will be cast in yellow high-quality Japanese vinyl with a black & white baseball cap, red stitching on his head and orange spray on his belly.

"After an untimely meteor ended his rampage much too early, this deadly dino sunk deep into the Earth and was reborn in modern day as the unstoppable FOSSILLA!  His flesh may have “crudely” sloughed from his (now exposed) bones and metamorphosed to a disgusting oily goop, but somewhere in that slop are feet that have been waiting millions of years to stomp on buildings." This debut version of Joshua Herbolsheimer's Fossilla stands 9" tall and is articulated on the head, arms and legs. Cast is unpainted grey vinyl, this toy even comes with a bonus "anatomy lesson" backing card.

Sculpted by Kondo (aka Cosmo Liquid), the classic Japanese toy reimagining of Taoking from Frank Miller & Geof Darrow's The Big Guy and Rusty the Boy Robot comic series will now wow you at night with this Irradiated Glow-In-The-Dark Edition. This 9" tall figure with articulated outer arms, legs and tail has green, red and blue spray highlights as well as metallic silver detailing to finish off his form.

Brought forth from the mind of Brian Flynn, the 3" tall cannibal cookie known as Foster is getting a wonderful Caramel & Cream Edition cast in high-quality Japanese vinyl with creamy vanilla white sprayed in the middle.

Monster Family is a collaborative project between Super7 and some of their favorite artists, presenting an array of monstrous beasts that range from being cute to down-right creepy.

(Translucent Green Edition), Brian Flynn's Little Prick in Glow-In-The-Dark Green and Ugly Dolls creators Sun-Min Kim & David Horvath's Power Mister (Translucent Grey Glitter Edition).

In addition to all these amazing release, the Super7 Booth #4729 will also feature Brian Flynn and Joshua Herbolsheimer hand-making one-off custom mash-ups by assembling new figures out of Super7 release parts, a task they will undertake for a limited number of people every morning at 10AM on Thursday, July 12th through Saturday, July 14th. They will also be displaying prototypes of brand new figures, confirming some rumors and dispelling others… as well as having "major toy announcements that have been over 30 years (literally) in the making."
