FYI, I believe Super 7 erroneously said the Reaction Zartan figure changes color

Here's a detailed review saying it doesn't change. I asked Super 7 about the video and was told the listing was erroneous. When I look now, the listing no longer makes the assertion and does not include the previous animated turnaround. Here's a post from a few days ago that still shows the color change feature:

New Transformers Ultimates available for preorder, including body horror alligator Optimus Prime

Super 7's latest batch of figures are available for preorder

Megatron comes with a delightful alternate blue head, super hardcore Decepticon Tarn comes with a Nickel minibot ("a medic and maintenance 'bot, serving the Decepticon Justice Division, aboard the Peaceful Tyranny"), and Optimus...:
When they tried to turn New York City into New Cybertron, they didn’t just dump the disassembled parts of Optimus Prime into a landfill, they upcycled most of them into the wild beast Alligaticon and repurposed his right arm as part of the Decepticon Tower defense system.

Great wide-ranging interview about the toy business with Super 7's Brian Flynn



In addition to revealing upcoming toys, topics include:

-The challenge of adequately rewarding passionate supporters and satisfying earnest collectors, while dealing with speculators

-The complexity of selling female characters like April O'Neil to adult men that bring baggage to toys from their youth

-Working with NECA to diversify their approach to the same licenses

-And a really personal story about why Super 7's first Disney toys include Prince John from Robin Hood

You can buy/preorder Super 7 toys here.

I never noticed that Thulsa Doom's goon uses a three-headed axe; my custom warpaint Conan Heroclix

Super 7 posted new promotional videos for its upcoming figures Thulsa Doom, Thogrim and Rexor. I never appreciated that Rexor uses a three-headed axe:



It also never occurred to me until now that the helmets of the World Eaters from Warhammer 40K are quite possibly inspired by Thulsa Doom's cult.







These, along with gladiator Conan are available for preorder. (Super 7's He-Man with robot head is my pick for best toy of 2019.)

And speaking of Conan, I realized that underneath the cheap paintjob, the Heroclix Skaar (a child Hulk had during his days as a gladiator) is a terrific sculpt of Conan. Before my repaint it basically looked like this:



And after my humble paintjob (I don't think the photos even do justice to how good the Arnold likeness is in the tiny miniature):
