MLB legends and legendary mascots coming for toy fans
This entry was posted on May 16, 2019
.Fans of action figures -- at least retro-styled ones -- and baseball will have some new things to chase later this year.
MLB ReAction Figures will drop in August as part of the Supersports line from Super7 with 11 Hall of Famers in the Classic All-Stars lineup and and three mascots also in tow.
“Growing up, the first thing I ever collected was baseball cards. When I was seven years old, my uncle sent me a complete box of 1978 Topps Baseball Cards for Christmas," said Super7 Founder Brian Flynn. "I loved these baseball cards, and I want to bring that same emotion back to the figures and packaging we are making for our Supersports line of baseball figures. Something that brings you back in time, brings you a bit of unexpected joy and brings a smile to your face.”
Styled after the old Kenner Star Wars toys in both their size and presentation, the Classic All-Stars will include Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays, Orlando Cepeda, Carlton Fisk, Joe DiMaggio, Jackie Robinson, Juan Marichal, Yogi Berra, Carl Yastrzemski, Ted Williams and Roy Campanella. The mascots will include the Phillie Phanatic, Mr. Met and the San Francisco Giants' Crazy Crab.
All of the toys are officially licensed and approved by both MLB and its spotlighted players and they carry a ballpark price tag of $15. Current players are also part of the future plans along with "Bullpen Buggies, a new diecast take on classic bullpen carts, and enamel pins featuring players, mascots and some of the greatest moments in MLB history."
