Write a Review link for that item. Disney (Super7) (Super7)It took a while, but the magic has finally arrived! It was back in the summer of 2020 when Super7 announced that Disney would be joining their Ultimates line, and they were due for a 2021 release, but for reasons unknown, they got delayed. They eventually saw release around two months ago, thankfully, and they seem to be worth the wait. The first wave has three figures, including Mickey Mouse, of course. This Mickey is dressed in his Fantasia outfit, one of his most recognizable looks. The packaging is the same style as the TMNT Ultimates I’ve been reviewing, albeit smaller. The box graphics for each figure is based off what movie they came from, adding some uniqueness to the line. Beside that, we still have a slipcover over a window box with a character bio on the back. Mickey is sculpted by Four Horsemen, like with the rest of the Ultimates, and they did a great job with him. The original renders were somewhat off-model, and the first sculpt shown off in a video around these were first revealed looked god-awful, but the final version is dead-on to the character. There are three different heads included, with an open-mouth smile, a closed smile, and an angry expression. They also went ahead and made the hat bend differently on all three, and in case you’re wondering, you can’t remove them. His robe and rope “belt” are actual softgoods, and it manages to both look great and not interfere with the articulation. The paint is rather decent, but there is some bleeding around the ears and hat, and I wish the face wasn’t so shiny. Mickey stands about 3 ¾” tall from the feet to ears, but how much extra height that hat adds to him depends on what head you display him with. Despite being smaller than a regular 7” Super7 figure, Mickey is still loaded with articulation. He moves at the head, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, thighs, knees, ankles, and tail. The head is a ball joint (not a “barbell” joint like the Turtles have, but a single ball on top of the neck), the thighs are swivel joints, and the rest are swivel/hinge joints. All of them moved well out of the box, with the only bit of stickiness being the right ankle. I do wish he had a joint on the torso to allow for more dynamic poses, but I can live. Mickey’s a $45 figure (like how Ultimates used to be before S7 got greedier and upped the price), so it’s no surprise that they’d justify the price for a small figure with plenty of accessories. Aside from the three heads, there are five pairs of hands, with open hands, gripping hands, fists, pointing hands, and magic-conducting hands. They all swap easily, and also allow for a lot of display options. One of the walking brooms is included here, with the signature “bucket-holding” pose, and while it looks like the wrists can turn, they don’t. Two buckets are included, of course, and both it and Mickey can hold them. And when Mickey gets fed up with the broom, an axe is included here so he can chop it to pieces (not that that will solve his problem). Last but not least, there’s his big spell book, which is a bit over 5” long. While not a perfect figure, it doesn’t mean Mickey isn’t one of my favorite figures S7 has put out so far. They hit the bullseye in almost every area, and I’m glad he was worth the wait. -5/04/2022   by RMaster007 |
