Wednesday, and you know what that means...
ToyFarce review!
It's time for ANIMANIACS! This week, we're having a look at the
Animaniacs Ultimates! figures from
Super7. Working through the pile of unopened toys, I was looking forward to get to those. I've been a fan of the show since I was a kid and, apart from the McDonalds
Animaniacs Happy meal toys, we never really got any toys or merch from them... until now!
The
Animaniacs was an animated TV series produced by
Steven Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment, with amazing voice acting, that ran between 1993 and 1998 (
and came back for 3 seasons in 2020). It was a variety show full of wackiness and pop culture references, with loads of great characters.
As usual with
Super7, the figures come in big boxes, each of them having their own '
shipper boxes' (
the kind of boxes that Hot Toys collectors seem to consider is part of the figure, since a Hot Toys figure without the brown shipper box is considered 'incomplete' by some). So,
yay! Shipper boxes! The boxes all have a sleeve too, with the logo of the cartoon on the front.
First, the
Warner brothers (and the Warner sister), who are the main characters of the
Animaniacs show. It feels pretty great to hold those 7-inch scale, articulated figures in hand after not having toys of them for so long. The figures themselves are pretty decent, the articulations are a bit hindered by the design (big heads,...), but they also come with a ton of accessories to make up for it.
Yakko comes an
alternate head with a graduation cap,
5 extra hands, an
alternate tail, a
stick of dynamite, a
bag of fun, and a
blackboard with the world map, with pointer, to recreate the amazing '
Yakko's World' sketch (link
here).
Wakko comes with an
extra head with spartan helmet,
7 extra hands, an
alternate tail, a
mallet, a
stick of dynamite, a
blackboard with the United states, along with a
violin and bow, to recreate '
Wakko's America' (link
here).
Dot, the Warner sister, comes with
2 extra heads,
7 extra hands (including a butterfly and a flower), an
alternate tail, a
stick of dynamite and a
duck pool floatie. Those boxes are FILLED with accessories, except for Dot, whose accessories are a bit
underwhelming.
Yakko!
Wakko!

Gee Brain, what are we gonna do tonight? - The same thing we do every night, try to take over the world!”
Pinky and the
Brain (
Fun fact: they are called 'Minus and Cortex' in French) are also very fun figure, and also come with a ton of stuff.
Pinky is a bit easier to handle than
Brain, since
Brain has a huge head that is a bit heavy, so he's not really easy to pose. Mine also has one foot that is a bit loose, which does not help.
Pinky has
2 extra heads,
8 extra hands (
including one with a pen), lots of
lab equipment (beakers, machines,...), a
notepad and a
photo.
Brain comes an
extra head, 7
extra hands, a
paper blueprint of one of their plan,
lab equipement (beakers, ...), a
paperclip, a
pointer, a
globe keyring and the
giant magnet we see them use in the opening of the show.
