Super7 Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory ReAction Figures Wave 01 - Violet Beauregarde Action Figure...

Its a Willy wonka action figure. Nuff said. 5/5

As a fan of Gene Wilder, especially in this role of Willy Wonka, I was quite pleased to have a little figure in his likeness. The face sculpt is nicely detailed, resembling Wilder without looking like a weird 3D print of his face - very appropriate for the vintage look and feel Super7 aims to create in their figures. The clothes are accurate to the movie costume. His only accessory is his walking stick, but thats all this Wonka needs. I doubt I will keep him in his packaging - Im definitely a play and pose kind of toy owner - but I like that the card is designed to look like a giant Wonka bar. The cardboard arrived i perfect condition and it looks pretty good on display.

The face is incredibly detailed, I love the vintage look and that the packaging looks like a giant Wonka bar, how unique. So the figurine is flexible for any position making it an awesome action figure. Would make and awesome gift for any Willy Wonka fan or collector.

Oompa loompa doompety doo I've got a perfect puzzle for ZeeBooth! If you are like many of us, it almost doesn't matter what decade you were born in, excluding the last two, you at one point loved Willie Wonka. Of course, if you didn't love Willie Wonka, you wouldn't be reading this review. Although, I'm in my 40's now and I only picked this up as a collector item. It arrived not bent at all, plastic perfectly in place, the hanging tab still in the cardboard, and just true nostalgia in the overall packaging. Personally, there is nothing like the original film. I don't care, if the Charlie movie followed the book or not. The writer needs to correct the book, like the film from the 70's. LOL That's my opinion about it. Now, if we could only get a real golden ticket or a winning lottery ticket will work!

Giftable old-school action figure for kids of a certain age. As cynical as I usually am about cashing in on nostalgia, Super7 seems to have a knack for understanding the properties they're licensing and targeting underserved fandoms. Their "Reaction Figures" pay homage to the old Kenner Star Wars action figures = simple plastic figures with unfussy designs, basic movement at the shoulder and hip, and an accessory (usually a weapon) that sort-of-but-doesn't-really fit in the figure's hands. Which is exactly what they've done with Willy Wonka. Simple model is easily recognizable as Gene Wilder. No removable coat or hat - it's all one piece - with his cane as the included accessory. It's not a recreation of some vintage figure - I can't imagine there ever was such a thing. It's a reimagining of what a Willy Wonka figure might have looked like in the mid-70s. Making the box look like a Wonka bar is a nice touch. But you're paying a premium for the nostalgia, and also dealing with a lot of the same hassles that go along with any collectible: limited runs, artificial scarcity, insider pre-orders etc. At $12 this would be a five-star product.
