Hip Hop Legends Become Collectibles With First-Ever “A Tribe Called Quest” Action Figures

Thirty-five years after changing the sound and soul of hip hop, A Tribe Called Quest is officially stepping into collector history with their first-ever action figures. For fans who grew up on lyricism, vibes, and intentional cool, this moment hits different.

Super7 has teamed up with Okayplayer Shop to release a ReAction Figures 4-pack honoring the legendary group’s groundbreaking 1990 debut album, People’s Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm. For the first time, Phife, Q-Tip, Ali, and Jarobi are immortalized as action figures, each one inspired by their appearances in the iconic “I Left My Wallet in El Segundo” music video. Yes, the wallet accessory is included, because the details matter.

The figures stand 3.75 inches tall and feature articulation at the hips, neck, and shoulders. They arrive in collector-friendly window box packaging with original Super7 artwork inspired by the unmistakable album cover that helped define alternative hip hop and jazz rap for a generation. It is a visual love letter to an era when music felt playful, intentional, and deeply rooted in community.

Super7 describes the moment perfectly, saying, “On a quest for a lyrical sound? Take a beat. A Tribe Called Quest is here as ReAction Figures!” The tribute honors a group whose music was “characterized by a light-hearted and positive tone, with incredible wordplay,” and whose influence paved the way for countless artists who followed.

This is not just merch. It is cultural preservation. It is nostalgia with purpose. It is the kind of collectible that sits proudly next to vinyl crates, sneaker boxes, and first edition books, reminding us of a time when Tribe taught us you could be smart, stylish, and socially aware all at once.

The Super7 ReAction Figures Wave 2 A Tribe Called Quest 4 Pack retails for $85 and is available for preorder now. The figures dropped on December 11th via the Okayplayer Shop, with orders expected to ship on or around December 21, 2025.

For fans of hip hop who grew up memorizing verses, debating favorite albums, and learning life lessons through Tribe’s music, this release feels like a full-circle moment. Hip hop raised us, and now it is shelf-worthy.
