Super7 - the rumor mill!

You should do a clear orange Oni release with "Super7's not Dead" on the back.

What is a MOOK? Growing up in Hawaii I used to get chased around by something similar sounding. Should I be afraid.

 

Hmmm... I hadn't heard any of those rumors, but I'm glad you're not going to be turning into oil.

 

A MOOK tends to be a book that lists special moves for computer games such as King of Fighters.

Wiki: ""Mook" in its most common current sense, is the Japanese publishing industry's generic name for quarterly or irregularly published large-format softcover publications having more pages than a typical magazine, yet less pages than a proper book"

 

It refers to the size of the publication. In Japan, "mooks" are like like very thick magazines. I think originally the term came from adding "movie" and "book" because back in the 80s there were a lot of them dedicated to anime and tokusatsu movies and series.

A recent example of a toy-oriented mook is Gangu Jinsei (Toy Life), and if you don't have any issues of it, track them down, they're an excellent resource for robot and kaiju toys.

 

After reading Parka's explanation, the etymology of "magazine" + "book" = "mook" makes more sense.

 

Natural resources are pretty scarce and with our reliance on Middle Eastern oil, Super 7 oil may not be a bad thing.


Glad to know that my 100+ postings here won't go down in vain.

 

Super7 died in '78 man......

 

Yes, this will give us more time to crack Henry's resistance to J-Vinyl...

 

This makes no since at all...

S7 has been killing it. If said person actually paid attention for 24 hours on here they would see the beating heart that is S7 is fully alive !

 

If I get to a thousand posts and have no more than 10 true Japanese Vinyl figures....then you'll never get me!!!

 

H! You're already got . . . you just don't know it yet!

My son just tally'd up an I've just hit my 50th piece of JPN vinyl since getting bitten by the bug at the beginning of the year! . . . I'm gonna go eat some pie to celebrate!

Oh yeah, glad to hear S7 is still going strong (although I was blissfully unaware of anything to the contrary).

 

I can only see you guys having a bright future. The magazine landed in Hong Kong finally. I am reading everything and realize I need to get the back issues. I can't wait for your next issue, new designed website, and more exclusives.

I never knew what "Mook" meant, but whenever I see that name on Japanese magazines, I know they are doing a special edition magazine (or a topic focus for the whole issue) and it's usually spot on content.

 

Sounds like herpes!

 

New store, new mag, tons of exclusive releases, buying trip to Japan. . . yup, that doesn't look too good.


Where do people come up with this shit?

 

I always prefered the term bagazine

 

or bookazine

 

Sucks you guys have to deal with rumors when you're busy expanding the toy empire...S7 toypirates 4lfe....

 

I think you will always have rumors like this in anything that grows as quickly as S7 is growing. Player haters all around.

 

Who would want them to not do well? Sheesh...

 

Rumors? What rumors? I never heard any rumors. Man, I'm always the last to find out about what's not true.

 

Speaking of Rumors...might as well start one of my own!

I heard that Super7 is opening a store in NYC!!!!

 

that one really hit home. Don't even play...

 

NYC? Is that before or after the Paris and Las Vegas stores?

 

loco...those are fighting words
