Merchandise Review #74 - ReAction Figures Wave 2

The first wave of Who Framed Roger Rabbit ReAction Figures by Super7 were released in 2022. As you can imagine it was a big surprise to me, as well as many others. The interest in them was an even bigger surprised to Super7. This is the first series of figures released since 1988, and while they certainly keep the nostalgic feel of toys from that time, the figures are detailed and the character selection expanded on. Five figures were released in the first wave - Roger, Jessica, Judge Doom, Smarty and Stupid. Many people wondered why there was no Eddie Valiant but he's hot on the case of the big rabbit frame-up in Wave 2, along with a lovestruck Roger and Psycho weasel. (Now Available for Pre-Order)

Jessica Rabbit Merchandise Review #72 - ReAction Figures

The Who Framed Roger Rabbit ReAction Figures by Super7 were recently released, much to my huge surprise. When the movie debuted in 1988, there were a series of traditional 3¾" action figures made called Animates and a 6" scale of bendy figures called Flexies. They remained the only carded figures of the characters ever produced for nearly 35 years. Super7 has finally broken that streak, adding five of the movie's characters to the popular ReAction Figure line - including Jessica!

Who Framed Roger Rabbit Custom Figures

Several years back I decided to make a Mego-style set of Who Framed Roger Rabbit figures. Luckily there was a great website that provided a lot of pieces and accessories needed. It sat as an unfinished project for some time until earlier in the year when I decided to get it completed. It was a big learning lesson in garment making, research and patience...

Jessica Rabbit Custom Figure By Gary Anderson

Back in April I posted an article about artist Gary Anderson creating a custom Miss Switch action figure for me using the vintage She-Ra Princess of Power toys. His incredible skills delivered on exactly what I had asked for and I immediately knew I wanted another figure. However, though I brought up Jessica Rabbit as a possibility, I had a list of others to pick from. My assumption was that the vintage She-Ra figures would be too limiting, and I am very picky when it comes to how Jessica should look. He told me he would definitely be able to work the figure into Jessica and I agreed. I sent over reference photos for colors and style and a long list of what I would be looking for. I was very anxious about this figure, but his work on Miss Switch and various other figures gave me hope that he would deliver on this very difficult custom. Read on to find out more...

Miss Switch Custom Figure By Gary Anderson

In taking a break from the usual Disney related news, I wanted to show a custom figure I had commissioned that is absolutely amazing. In rediscovering some retro cartoons online I stumbled across The Trouble with Miss Switch, an ABC Weekly Special cartoon from 1980 that I had watched often. The cartoons were based on a 1971 children's book of the same name by Barbara Brooks Wallace. The book was fairly popular and when it was translated into cartoons they were re-run frequently due to the high interest. The cartoon specials were produced by Ruby-Spears who made shows like Heathcliff and Dingbat, Alvin and the Chipmunks and The Plastic Man Comedy/Adventure Show. I wondered how any popular 80's cartoon would have slipped by without some kind of merchandise - other than the books whose covers were changed to depict versions of the characters from the cartoon. That's when I asked a talented customizer. I had followed his work for many years and asked if he was up for the challenge. The end result is exactly what I had asked for and turned out to be a fantastic custom figure.

A Tribute To Tom Tumbusch And Tomart's Publications

Anyone who has been a toy collector or Disney fan will know Tomart's Magazines very well. When bookstores were prevalent and the internet was still in its early days, you relied heavily on these publications for the latest news on figures, statues, events and where to buy antique toys. The owner of Tomart's Publications, Tom Tumbusch, passed away in July of 2016. He's regarded as a pioneer in Disney History research and for many years his magazines were used as the best sources of information on toys, collections and more. Let's take a small look at the man who brought together legions of Disney fans and collectors alike in a very big way. (Photo by Gary Cruise)
