May is looking to be a big month for Super7, who already have 5 releases planned for next month. Featuring a Big Sal, a Mummy Boy, a Mummy Gator, a new Steven the Bat, and last, but certainly not least, a new Rose Vampire, this will be one big month for Super7!

Hit the jump to check out all of the new pieces that Super7 will be releasing next month!

Starting off strong on May 1st, Super7 will be releasing two figures, the Pink Haze Big Sal by Brandt Peters and Kathie Olivas, and the new black and pink Mummy Boy. I'm a big fan of the Big Sal platform; it's small yet powerfully strong piece, and this colorway does not disappoint at all! The clear head and the fade on the body look great as usual, and the red and blue really go nicely together. This Big Sal will be available for around $35 on May 1st at 11am PST only at Super7 and Super7 Florida.

The Mummy Boy doesn't disappoint either; with a pink mouth and eyes and a black sparkle body, this looks like one classy piece! The Mummy Boy will be available for $50 at both Super7 stores as well as many of Super7's retailers.

Later in the month we'll see a whole slew of other releases as well including a new Steven the Bat, a new Mummy Gator, and my favorite, the Rose Vampire.

First up is the Bwana Spoons clear pink Steven the Bat, which looks to be a general release and will be around $25-30. The light pink looks great with the blue eyes and this little guy should fit in well with the rest of the monsters in your collection.

Next up is a new pink glow in the dark Mummy Gator. The Gator cousin of the Mummy Boy, this piece will look great with the pink glow in the dark Mummy Boy from last year's San Diego Comic Con and really is an awesome piece. This Mummy Gator should retail around $50 and also looks like it will be a general release.

Last, and certainly not least, is a new colorway of the ever popular Rose Vampire figure. This time, he's back and in yellow! I really like the red and blue accents on him as it gives him a bit more depth and can't wait to add him to my collection. As much as I like this piece, I feel like Super7 has run out of ideas with the Rose Vampire and is just releasing colorways solely to make money (2 in a one month span now). I'd much rather have seen a new yellow Tulip Countess or something to go with the Rose Vampire instead. Expect this Rose Vampire to retail for around $30.

Overall, May is shaping up to be one solid month for Super7 and one sad month for my wallet. Will any of you be picking up any of these releases?
