Super7’s first Invincible Deluxe 7-inch figure wave has begun arriving at retailers, giving comic-focused collectors a lineup built around four major characters: Invincible, Allen the Alien, Angstrom Levy, and Grand Regent Thragg. The assortment is notable not simply because it expands Super7’s presence in the Invincible license, but because it starts with a strong mix of hero, ally, villain, and cosmic antagonist.
Each figure is listed at $30 and features 32 points of articulation. The assortment is based on the comic universe rather than the animated adaptation, an important distinction for collectors who prefer the original character designs and are building a comic-accurate shelf.
A Balanced First Wave for Comic Collectors
The character selection gives the wave a clear display identity. Invincible provides the essential centerpiece, while Allen the Alien adds one of the franchise’s most recognizable supporting characters. Angstrom Levy and Thragg bring two very different villainous silhouettes to the assortment, making the wave feel more substantial than a lineup focused only on alternate versions of the title character.
Invincible wears his familiar yellow, black, and blue costume, complete with light blue flight goggles. As Mark Grayson’s superhero identity, he is the obvious starting point for the line, but his inclusion alongside Thragg and Angstrom Levy also points toward the larger interdimensional and Viltrumite conflicts that define the comic.
Allen the Alien is particularly useful from a display standpoint. His single eye, oversized alien physique, and bright color scheme should make him immediately identifiable among standard superhero figures. In the story, Allen serves as a Champion Evaluation Officer for the Coalition of Planets and becomes one of Invincible’s most important allies.
Three Distinctive Sculpt Profiles
Angstrom Levy is arguably the most unusual design in the wave. Following the accident that leaves him disfigured, the character is defined by his enlarged, brain-like head and his ability to travel between dimensions. That exaggerated head sculpt should give the figure considerable shelf presence, even in a collection populated by larger action figures and statues.
Thragg offers a very different kind of visual impact. As Grand Regent of the Viltrum Empire, he is intended to look imposing rather than eccentric. His inclusion gives collectors a major Viltrumite antagonist from the outset and creates an obvious opposing display with Invincible.
From a collector’s perspective, the sculpt variety is one of the wave’s strongest features. Invincible has the clean superhero profile, Allen brings an alien companion silhouette, Angstrom Levy is visually bizarre, and Thragg supplies the heavy presence expected from a top-tier Viltrumite. That range should help the four figures avoid looking repetitive when displayed together.
Articulation and the Accessory Question
Super7 lists all four figures with 32 points of articulation, placing the emphasis on poseability rather than static presentation. The available information does not detail the individual joint layout, joint construction, or the range of motion at specific areas such as the shoulders, hips, neck, and ankles, so collectors should reserve judgment on how effectively each figure can reproduce flight, combat, and power poses.
The most significant limitation is that no additional accessories are included with any of the figures. That means there are no alternate hands, effect parts, weapons, removable elements, or character-specific extras described for the wave. For a $30 action figure, the lack of accessories will be an important consideration, particularly for collectors who expect Deluxe branding to include expanded equipment or display options.
That said, the character lineup itself does some of the work that accessories normally would. Allen and Angstrom Levy rely heavily on their distinctive sculpts, while Thragg’s imposing character design is intended to carry the figure visually. Invincible is the one figure that may feel most dependent on posing, since flight and action displays would benefit substantially from alternate hands or a flight effect.
Release Timing, Price, and Display Value
The first wave was reported as released over the weekend, with figures shipping from some retailers while other outlets are expected to receive their assortments later. The listed price is $30 per figure, putting the complete four-figure wave at $120 before shipping or taxes.
At that price, the appeal will likely depend on how much value a collector places on character selection, sculpting, and articulation. The 7-inch scale also gives the figures a larger footprint than many mainstream 6-inch superhero lines, which may help the unusual characters read more strongly on a shelf. However, the scale could make compatibility with existing Marvel Legends, DC Multiverse, or other 6-inch displays less straightforward.
Collectors building a dedicated Invincible display will likely find the wave more compelling than those looking for interchangeable parts or accessory-heavy releases. The four characters create an immediately recognizable foundation, and the inclusion of both Angstrom Levy and Thragg gives the line more narrative depth than a hero-only assortment.
Collector Verdict
This first Super7 wave is best suited to comic collectors who value distinctive character selection and larger-scale presentation. Invincible is the essential pickup, while Allen the Alien, Angstrom Levy, and Thragg make the assortment feel like the beginning of a broader universe rather than a single-character release.
The main drawback is straightforward: the figures include no additional accessories despite their Deluxe designation. For collectors comfortable with that trade-off, the wave offers a strong assortment of recognizable comic designs and a useful starting point for an Invincible display. Accessory-focused collectors may want to wait for in-hand photography and detailed reviews before committing to the full set.
