{     Super7 Visighost - Valentine's Day Edition     }    

As you sit nestled in your workspace/office/toy museum surrounded by hundreds of brightly colored, ultra-collectible, limited edition, variant colorway, import-only bits of plastic, plush and vinyl this Valentime's Day (yes, I call it that) you may notice for the first time that despite the numerous adorable faces and eyes gazing out at you from your shelves, that you feel kinda lonely. Almost as if nobody loves you.
I mean sure, you've got a literal army of little dudes at your command, you can pose them however you want, or move them from this shelf to that, or arrange them in a line from tallest to shortest but there's something that's still missing. Some passion, some spark, some return of your adoration. Maybe you've tried to fill the gap with a couple of extra-busty Fafi figures or one of those special pillows from Japan with the full-body print of some anime-cutie adorning them. No doubt this just left you still feeling rather alone, and maybe a little bit sleazy.
Well, buck up, little camper. Because somebody loves ya baby, and that somebody is Super7! This special V-Day edition is designer Brian Flynn's love letter to toy fans, cast in candy-like clear pink vinyl with white and maroon accents. Visighost made our Best Toys of '07 list and it's easy to see why- the design is the perfect blend of old-school Japanese cool and new-school vinyl slickness, with this edition's wacky color-scheme calling to mind classic weirdo kaiju colorways. Stop by the Super7 store in San Fran today to share the love and make him yours.
