It's funny because if you're at all involved in the Transformers collecting scene Super7 has been getting dragged over blaming tariffs rather than bad QC and overpriced items being their downfall. I see people are still roasting them trying to sell a cardboard backdrop for $75 last year.

Two things can be true. It's fact that the tariffs are completely destroying companies like this.

I was interested in their 2003 TMNT line but reviewers had tons of QC issues and they were really expensive.

Whatever they were charging, people were still buying. Now, the tariffs will kill the company.

Were they, though? Every time I saw a Super7 product on BBTS it was marked down 45%. Never bought their stuff myself though.
