Super7 has announced the first wave of its MÖTLEY CRÜE ReAction figures. Inspired by the band’s second album, 1983’s “Shout At the Devil”, and CRÜE‘s early makeup-heavy look, the set features 3.75-inch versions of Vince Neil, Nikki Sixx, Tommy Lee and Mick Mars in big hair, makeup and leather. Each articulated figure comes with an accessory — Vince with a microphone, Nikki with a bass guitar, Tommy with a pair of drumsticks, and Mick with a guitar.
Originally released in 1983 at the height of the Satanic Panic, “Shout At The Devil” catapulted MÖTLEY CRÜE to superstardom. Delivering on the hype and promise of their platinum debut “Too Fast For Love”, MÖTLEY CRÜE‘s second album hit the U.S. Top 20 and was certified four times platinum. For many music fans, “Shout At The Devil” was the first time they witnessed an album with this imagery and lyrical content on mainstream retail shelves.
“Shout At The Devil” continues to be a cornerstone of MÖTLEY CRÜE‘s live set, with the band playing up to four songs from this iconic album at every show of last year’s “The World Tour”. Fittingly, the original touring cycle for this album saw MÖTLEY CRÜE jump from opening act to full on arena headliners.
The ground-breaking music videos for “Looks That Kill” and “Too Young To Fall In Love” set the standard for countless MTV moments. Those two singles, combined with the sinister title track, reckless cuts like “Knock ‘Em Dead, Kid”, “Bastard” and “Red Hot”, their frenzied take on “Helter Skelter” and the haunting nearly instrumental “God Bless The Children Of The Beast” helped create this era- and genre-defining album.
Hailing from Los Angeles, California, MÖTLEY CRÜE — Vince Neil (vocals),Nikki Sixx (bass),Tommy Lee (drums) and Mick Mars (guitars) — has commandeered the rock pantheon for 41 years. The band has sold over 100 million albums worldwide, garnered seven USA platinum and multi-platinum albums, 22 Top 40 mainstream rock hits, six Top 20 pop singles, three Grammy nominations, five New York Times best-selling books, a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame and a Netflix hit movie.
The quartet has amassed over five billion streams across digital platforms and the band has over eight million followers on social media. Known for their iconic live performances, the band has sold-out countless tours across the globe in front of millions of fans with groundbreaking production highlights such as Tommy Lee‘s drum-rollercoaster and Nikki Sixx‘s flame-throwing-bass. They pioneered the Las Vegas rock residency with a sold-out run in 2012. MÖTLEY CRÜE‘s hit songs such as “Kickstart My Heart” and “Home Sweet Home” are frequently licensed by major brands such as NASCAR, Dodge, Coldwell Banker, Carl’s Jr. and KIA, to name a few, and their music can be heard on TV hit shows such as “Stranger Things” and “Cobra Kai” amongst many others.
The band’s biography “The Dirt: Confessions Of The World’s Most Notorious Rock Band” became a New York Times best-seller in 2001 and has sold over one million copies worldwide. Members of the band have authored four additional New York Times best-selling books since. In 2019 Netflix premiered “The Dirt” biopic based on the bestselling book which became a global hit movie scoring a 94% positive audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. As a result, MÖTLEY CRÜE gained an entire new generation of young fans who discovered the band through the movie and further solidified their iconic status, relevance and the timelessness of their songwriting.
MÖTLEY CRÜE remains a huge global draw 41 years into their career and, in the summer of 2022 co-headlined a nearly sold out North American stadium tour with DEF LEPPARD. “The World Tour” continued to travel to stadiums around the world throughout 2023 with John 5 on guitar as the replacement for Mick Mars, who has retired from touring.
