For years collecting "Astro Mu 5" figures was nearly impossible, as the soft vinyl figures featured removable helmets, armor, gloves, and boots, meaning a complete piece was quite rare. And forget finding the missile-firing body versions with those little rockets still present! Originally made by Nakajima, these figures were known as nodders, featuring a button on their back nods that caused the head to move up and down while a button on the front moved the head left to right. While Paul Kaiju's brilliantly similar "Mr. Ree" brought some satisfaction for fans of these lovely works, a proper reissue of the six figures was long overdue. Announced in 2007, a reissue was in the works but finally — now —
Super7 appears to have the go ahead! Teased as happening on March 6th, 2015, we can't wait to see what exactly Super7 has coming our way… And will they be the standard or mini sized versions?
