Both these figures are awesome. They are basically the correct size according to the cartoon. Good review but could do with less man-child complaints. Yeah I said that.
Oh poor thing
Prince John is my favorite of all the Disney super 7 figures!
But the main use for these figures is to leave them in the box because if you play with your figures like I do these are very very delicate and they are not cheap. Cheapest where I live in Canada is 65 bucks! So either open them and prop him up and don't touch them or just leave them the way they were in the package
obviously you can't take valid criticism. grow up dude.
You watch a figure review and complain when you get an in depth review lmao. Compare these to a $35 figuarts from target and you will understand how wildly over priced these are.
100% agree with your assessments, the fact that there wasn't an opposite gripping hand drove me nuts and no sucking thumb hand! Also wish there was some sort of wire in Hiss. That's crazy about the color rub off. Don't think i saw that on mine. The price point is way too high for these. neca is typically $35 SRP and are way higher quality in my opinion.
It’s crazy! Just imagine if they were NECA level of quality (or better for the price). It would be a solid brand to stick with. I also hate how shiny these figures are. Robin Hood’s body shouldn’t be shiny considering it’s fur! (Assuming you watched that one too)
You didn’t even compare Prince John with Robin Hood. The biggest issue is that they’re WAY out of scale with each other. He’s gigantic compared to Robin.

Not as bad as you may think. Robin Hood is a little smaller from that sketch, but not much.
If I remember right, the character art sheet from the Disney art book states “Disney's Robin Hood is 4 feet, 10 inches tall (147 cm), and Disney's Little John is 8 feet, 1 inch tall (246 cm)”. This was based on the animators trying to infuse some relative size proximities in regard to the zoo animals they studied when making them into animated characters.

Yeah the Turtles are the same some with and without feet holes...bit weird.
When it comes to Super7 is all about the long game. They usually drop in price in due time. Usually way below retail.. Great review Jonathan 👏 👌
Thank you so much! Below retail is definitely the key (unfortunately)
"Subscribe" plug made my laugh, great stuff as always!
Haha! Thank you!
Fantastic review. I’m very happy I stumbled on your channel while searching for Robin Hood reviews. I am definitely getting myself a Price John. I loved Robin Hood as a child; still do.
Thank you! I hope you can find some discounted options. Prince John is certainly better than Robin but probably just because the robe lol
Prince John is a champion shelf diver. Those legs are so terribly loose that I had to just prop him up because I got sick of him falling all of the time. The Mickey from this line is almost as bad too. The sculpt is there with PJ, but I felt he needed more paint to do him justice. That yellow-gold plastic just makes me think of Lion King Happy Meal toys from the 90s. And, as you mentioned, he is missing a lot of accessories. No thumb-sucking pose hands and head really should have been a deal breaker, but I was excited to see Super7 taking on Disney so I bought the first wave as a show of good faith that was really not rewarded. Definitely worth it for those who love the movie and can get this guy on the cheap.
Getting cheap is key because the lack of paint and bad joints make him worth about $20-25. The fact they rely on plastic instead of paint is frustrating. The colors really don’t match the movie at all and have a shine that shouldn’t exist. No effort on their part. A slow death I would imagine.
Why have they not made a hand and face for him to suck his thumb and hold his ear like in the movie that was a major part of the character and he needs a throne
Knowing Super7 the throne would be $45 alone. :/
I haven't watched Disney's Robin Hood in years. I love Disney's old animated movies and series'. Not just bc I grew up with them. That is part of it, the animation is simply better in my opinion, compared to what disney's been doing for 15-20 years. Or however long it's been.
A classic for sure
Lil John, the rooster, and the vulture brothers would be cool to see in a figure
Definitely! And the Sheriff of course
The Prince John is awesome
certainly better than Robin Hood
Sir his is always an accessory to Prince John's evil antics! I know you were going into this with low expectations but I'm happy the figure came out awesome!
Much better than Robin Hood even after I put them out on the shelf next to each other. I think it has a lot to do with the robe. Lol
The super sized ones are close to 300 bucks, the packaging is very large, but when you take the figure out it's not that big
They are huge and definitely too pricey for me
Yes you are correct! When it's out of the package it's probably worth 10 or 20 bucks at the most. It is just the fancy packaging
It’s a big part of it
I'm pretty sure there isn't a QC guy at the factory Super 7 uses. They keep having the same problems with their figures and seem incapable or unwilling to make changes to molds to improve things like week ankle or hip joints.
Agreed! And these aren’t random, they seem consistent
Well, you pretty much met my expectations; every other review of this figure I've watched has had basically the same conclusion. On a personal note though; I think what I most appreciate about Super 7 so far is their sparing and meticulous paint-apps, and the fact that they continue to invest in soft-goods. I find it much more durable and long-lasting. Also; thanks for all your responses as well! I appreciate the respect! =)
Thank you for watching and engaging! I personally don’t like they do so much unpainted plastic as the base of the figure. And the colors seem off a bit from the animation because of that.
@@NostalgiaUnboxed I guess I'll have to take your word for it, but like you said; I still WANT to like these as well. But eh, I think they'll still look good next to my Kingdom Hearts figs. I'm probably only going to get one or two favorites anyway. =)
@@NostalgiaUnboxed Oh, and thanks again! =)
@@BuckarooBanzai84 I also want their SpongeBob and Patrick but that’s not coming until many months from now. Or this time next year maybe?
@@NostalgiaUnboxed I dunno. I'd have to look it up. (although I'm not as big a fan of that IP) Good luck anyway! =)
The algorithm suggested your channel so you must be doing something right. After watching 2 of your videos there's a few things your doing right! Love the posing sessions and the production quality. Awesome stuff man 🤘🏽
That’s very kind. Thank you! Always open to feedback, too
Sometimes I feel like less articulation is more. For this kind of figure, all those ankle and knee joints are going to do is cause a headache. 🤷♂️
They are just too loose. If they were like many other brands it would be fine. But you’re not wrong
I had te exact same issue with the Robe! Big bad toys were great about it, but it was disappointing for my first Super7 figure....
Yeah, Robin was my first Super7 and sent me on a path of hatred 😂 I don’t understand why they are so hit or miss
Nail polish or modge podge fixes the loose joints.
Thank you!!
He can stand on his own if you lean him against the wall or a shelf. Well mine did anyway
That’s not standing on his own then haha
Exactly Ha!! You're correct
But it can stand
I just noticed that disclaimer: not a toy. But I know Neca has a similar thing. Even more in depth. Like they’re described like perishable goods. Super 7s are hit & miss,, & I’d love to see less of the fancy boxing & cheaper on price. Or wait a few months & pick em’ up at discount. Thanks
Absolutely
The amount of red leeching into the figure from the robe is so frustrating. I don't know if they could have done anything better there or not, but it feels like something they should've known about before releasing the figure. Because that's pretty fast leeching for something so new.
It seems like Super7 is a lot of, “feels like something they should’ve known about”. :(
for color bleed I would try a Magic Eraser to get red off.
I’ll give it a shot!
My experience with the Prince John figure was quite different. I quite enjoyed the possibility and thankfully it did not break, but I was frustrated with the amount of accessories it came with
I’m glad you enjoy yours
another great review! Super7 really amazes me......
Thank you so much!
Geat review!
Thank you so much!
Darn it? I just bought it too, but I'm more of a display sort than a daily poser? Ah well. Great review! Subscribed right away! 🤟🦄✨♥️
Thank you! They made the blue robe version, too. Which did you end up getting?
@@NostalgiaUnboxed I went with the red for the extra Hisses? No wire sucks, but two sneks beat one - also I really like the actual material of the red robe? Despite the lack of a Little John & Maid Marian, I'll get the lot anyway. HUGE FAN darn my lonely childhood. 🤣💦🤟🦄✨♥️
... also thank you for the reply? That means a lot. I LIKED YOU RIGHT AWAY NO SURPRISE YOU'D BE KIND AND COOL TOO. 🤟🦄💕
@@twifightsparkill that's very nice of you to say
@@NostalgiaUnboxed Welp? The internet doesn't have a lot of nice people on it, so darn rights I should say something. ROFL! ❤️
...as a "universe collector"...one who wants to collect every character in a particular universe property...DC, Marvel, Disney...I'm disappointed that Super7 lost the license to Disney...they seemed to have a good balance of selection...mainstays and lesser characters in their lines...but, 55 dollars and shipping delays and some structural issues...
...man, that sucks...
...hope one day some company gets it right and can get those characters and figures in an expansive (not expensive) line...
Yeah, it’s really unfortunate to only have random figures (especially with the Simpson’s line)
I have this. When I was taking him out of the packaging, his right leg popped off at the knee. it seems nearly impossible to get it back in. Now it's loose eternally.
The worst!
Do you have more super 7 figures coming in the future? Or are you over it?
I have a friend sending me some unopened stuff to use (and then I send it back). Lucky!
Great review man. Yeah always hear about super7 figs legs are always wobbly and weak. They really need to fix that. I’m an in box collector so yeah like you said in the box he looks amazing. One of my favorite Disney films.
Thank you! I wish they didn’t have a shiny finish. I’ve only recently been annoyed with it now that they are on my shelf. The longer I own Robin Hood the more I hate him 😭 The Funko Pops of this movie are great and I am not a Funko fan. Prince John is super expensive for some reason

You don't pair him with Robin Hood at all? How did you miss that opportunity?
twitter.com/nostalgiaunboxd/status/1596349486477225984?s=46&t=8Dgncv76BACenScq528b2A
I wanted robin hood so bad too
💔😭
@@NostalgiaUnboxed Super7 always seems to have some issues. I stopped collecting the turtles after getting like 3 figures and they all were rough in one way or another. I want to love them so bad, but the disappointment is real
@@oos222 and we shouldn’t be buying figures we have to repaint. Watched a review from “Geek. Dad. Life.” And the Michelangelo wasn’t even close to the same finish as the other Turtles.
when you mention how much you want to love it because the box looks so amazing... I feel like that's a very smart manipulation on their part.
but to add to the last video... doesn't all the extra sleeves stop inbox collectors to display the box window ?
adding to too much packaging... Japanese figures don't need extra twisty ties or so much extra tape 😅
every time I open a mcfarlane or NECA figure I dread the twisty ties lol
you mentioned wishing packaging budget going into the figures... I wish there was a no packaging option with reduced costs for someone of us who order online and open it. especially when packaging doesn't always stop.the figure plastic from coming out bent
It’s hard to say about the in-box collectors, but I think all the layers guarantee it looks mint under the sleeve. Hopefully they display without the sleeve, but you never know with in-box people. Haha!
Yeah, I agree with the ties on NECA. The Tokka and Rahzar set was exhausting. And they should definitely offer package free options. Help the environment too
@@NostalgiaUnboxed Personally as a Box Saver (not necessarily an in boxer, I love super7 packaging or packaging like this that is able to be opened and placed back in the box. So you can open and enjoy figurs, and then put them back and have a nice display. The real enemy is bubble or blister packs where the package has to be ripped off the card and cant be placed back. So Opening changes your options.
When Chester Cheetah go to BK make evolve in this 😑👏...
😂
I think this license just sucks tbh. I'd be interested to see you review a figure from the TMNT line.
You mean what they did with them? If I can get my hands on the turtles I may give it a review
@@NostalgiaUnboxed I just think these disney characters have so little to work with, that its particularly hard to make the figures great. So it naturally highlights and exacerbates the issues Super7 has. Which isn't an excuse, it's just the worst circumstances they can put themselves in for the price point they are going for.
@@toomuchnewtoys that’s a good point. I think they rely way too much on the colored plastic when they should be painting more
It's 80€ and more in my country, sooooo expensive
Not worth it!
Who is the artist of the michaelanglo eating pizza in the background by your picture of your cat
Me!
Would love to buy a copy of it

Super7 being very hit or miss is my big issue with them. The raphael in disguise is an amazing figure but the krang figure was a huge disappointment because his knee joints were so loose he cant stand up without some clever balancing. Bebop is one of my favorite figures but I found the foot soldier to be one of my least favorite (one even came with a broken arm). I still like them but they have become a more wait and see company for me lately.
That’s such a bummer to hear. I’m sorry! I haven’t heard anything good about Krang and those legs
There's a dude on eBay they sells a solution to tighten figure joints. Absolutely necessary to have.
@@fillerbunnyninjashark271 thank you!
@@NostalgiaUnboxed it's called "fix loose joints by KiKi". He's located in Thailand
@@fillerbunnyninjashark271 amazing! Thank you
But if you keep them in the box, I think they are worth it
People that like to keep in the box will enjoy for sure
I ordered Notorious B.I.G action figure and I’m worried now about quality
Should I cancel that?
Man, that’s tough to say. It doesn’t arrive until 2024, so who knows what they will be like then. I also wanted it, but have decided to never pay full price for their stuff. I’ll just hope that BigBadToyStore or EntertainmentEarth will have it later for cheaper. But they are always “made to order”
@@NostalgiaUnboxed Thank you a lot. I’ll see how the QC goes in future. I know that even if companies said”made to order”, it’s hard to be accurate.
Sorry you got another "box of disappointments"! But we got a great review! Thanks! 🌝
Haha! A sacrifice for the greater good, I suppose.
why do you have problem with standing when he has holes in his feet!
It doesn’t help the weight on his right ankle. It just collapses.
Super7 has to debug their product before put it out .
Haha, yes!
55 dollars! In stores where I live they are for the most part 75 dollars, the least I seen was 64
Wow. Maybe online is best for you?
@@NostalgiaUnboxed yeah I guess so!
Try Mafex
They make great stuff and definitely more expensive than this and NECA
Neca Deadpool 1/4 pro Mondo Faker He Man1/6
But I take them out anyway cause I like looking at them
gotta look!
I just wonder how many times per video that you post you get told that you look like Tobey Maguire's brother, cousin or some relation.
All the time! Lol
Some of these figures are so small and they come with a stupid amount of accessories! For safety reasons I don't recommend you take them out of the package
I think that's why they aren't made for kids haha
the red stains are so ugly
Required to keep the robe on now
