Next year, just in time for the 2020 Summer Games in Tokyo, SuperSports by Super7 will issue its first collection of 3.75-inch ReAction Figures based on some of the biggest names in women’s soccer.
Super7 inked a new licensing deal with the United States Women’s National Team Players Association (USWNTPA) to create a collection that will feature athletes, including team captains Megan Rapinoe, Alex Morgan, and Carli Lloyd as well as goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher — all of whom led the U.S. Women to their fourth world championship. Additional ReAction Figures will include Julie Ertz (pictured top), Crystal Dunn, and other teammates.
“For years, there has been a void in the market of officially licensed collectible products commemorating female athletes. I’m thrilled that Super7 will now give fans of women’s sports something to be excited about,” says Super7 CEO Maigread Eichten.
The USWNTPA’s group marketing and licensing program is spearheaded by REP Worldwide, an organization profiled in the spring 2019 issue of the Pop Insider.
“I’m proud to be part of bringing this next generation of female soccer stars to its fans,” says Super7 founder Brian Flynn, who worked on the 1995 U.S. Women’s jerseys while he was at Nike. “Back in 1995, women’s national and professional soccer was just gaining traction. Now, as the father of three girls, I couldn’t be happier to have Super7 be part of the story of this team, their unparalleled back-to-back world championships, massive popularity, and inspirational success by commemorating our favorite players with fan-favorite ReAction figures.”
