Brian Flynn, President of Super7 has gone on line since the press release to answer some fan questions about the transition:
As many of you have already seen, or will see below, all ReAction Figures are coming back to Super7 going forward. I will jump in and answer as many questions as I can today (as you can imagine, there are a few things going on with this announcement).

A few answers to start with:
1. Yes, E.T. will still come out through Funko and you will be able to buy existing Funko inventory from Funko directly until they are out of stock. I believe they have a reorder also coming in on Dark Crystal. I do not know about Golden Girls, but assume yes on those as well.
2. No, we don’t hate each other. Funko has been more successful over the last few years than anyone could have imagined or predicted. In that time Super7 has grown as well. This was a perfect time for both of us to concentrate on core product lines for each company. To that point, we have the very last collaborative figure to announce for sale tomorrow.
3. When will we announce what is next for ReAction? Well, Street Fighter is out as of last week, and Hellboy is out in January. Everything else will be shown at NYTF 2017. (February) Hold tight, I think you will be very happy.
