Exclusively for Game Rant readers, we’re excited to unveil a fresh vinyl figure titled “Super Cycle Peanuts Edition” from Super7, showcasing Snoopy in his Joe Cool persona. Fans of the beloved comic strip can grab this collectible when it hits the shelves on January 30th.

Super7 is a company located in San Francisco that initially began as a magazine catering to toy collectors back in 2001. Over time, it shifted its focus from publishing to manufacturing toys inspired by various forms of popular culture. Today, their diverse product line encompasses the Peanuts Collection, which features an extensive range of merchandise centered around the beloved comic strip featuring Charlie Brown.

Super7 has chosen to expand their collection further by introducing a new figure, which we at Game Rant are excited to exclusively unveil. Dubbed the Peanuts Super Cycle, this upcoming collectible is inspired by Joe Cool, one of Snoopy’s laid-back college student personas. True to its name, this Snoopy merchandise showcases the anthropomorphic beagle riding a tricycle, sporting Joe Cool’s red shirt and sunglasses, with a cool smirk on his face. The Peanuts Super Cycle will be available for purchase starting January 30 at Super7’s online store, priced at $60.

Super7’s Newest Snoopy Figure Comes With a Working Tricycle

The new Snoopy toy on a movable tricycle isn’t just for decoration. It has a functional wind-up mechanism that not only propels the trike but also rings an integrated bell, drawing attention fitting for Joe Cool. This figure stands at five inches tall and is made of flexible vinyl, commonly referred to as “sofubi” in Japanese collectibles. Unlike a standard PVC figure, sofubi toys are given plasticizers during manufacturing, making their material less stiff.

Sofubi figures are commonly made using a method known as slush casting, where liquid vinyl is poured into a mold and moved around to coat the interior, allowing any excess to be drained out. This technique allows for the creation of lightweight, hollow figurines that can be gently pressed or squeezed. The casting process often results in a more tactile surface compared to traditional rigid vinyl figures, and is typically associated with high-end items such as the collectibles that Super7 excels in producing.

Generally speaking, you can find Super7’s action figures in numerous American retailers like Amazon, Walmart, GameStop, and Best Buy. However, it remains uncertain if the same will apply to the Peanuts Super Cycle, as the toy maker hasn’t yet confirmed its broader distribution.
