Besides Snarf, Willa definitely excited me the most. Her and Nayda are underrated.

Word is Snarf is gonna cost the full $55 which honestly stings a bit. He better come with a whole mess of stuff to justify that price (like a tail that he can balance on!)

Or... include Snarfer? They really dont think they can sell Snarfer on his own they? MaMutt was a pack-in.

 

[Dake]

Dang. I assumed Snarf was a pack in with Willa since she seems smaller than the typical figure (and it would force people that would otherwise pass to buy her).

Wave 7 preorders will go live tomorrow (thursday 10/13)

 

[Confuzor]

Preorders for wave 7 are up!

ThunderCats ULTIMATES! Wave 7

Super7’s latest wave of 7” scale ThunderCats ULTIMATES! is nothing to snarf at! Including Mongor, Ratar-O, Willa, and Snarf, all with interchangeable heads & hands and multiple accessories, these made-to-order figures belong in any ThunderCats collection!

Gotta say, Snarf is really pushing my limit. The Balance tail is good but I cant help but feel I would have preferred him leaning forward like he does in the intro.

I have no love for Mongor, but that glamor photo looks incredible!

 

[Dake]

Yeah, that's steep and the insult to injury is 12 bucks in shipping. I'll wait until BBTS opens up their preorders so at least save on that.

 

[Badgertron]

I've been waiting for Snarf, but for that price, I was hoping he'd at least have a waist swivel. Maybe they should have included a samoflange accessory for good measure.

BBTS pre-order up now. I just grabbed Mongor. He's pretty badass, and I'd spend that much or more on just the scythe for an original. Thinking of grabbing the Mum-Ra / Ma-Mutt as well.

Mongor was the only one I didn't preorder. Great looking figure but don't plan on buying those guys who are not on a significant amount. Other than that armored ram guy. Whom I only remember from a nicely animated episode as a child.

There actually is a samoflange coming with the Thundertank - but it probably would've been nice for those not buying the tank to have one too.

 

[Caldwin]

So they actually did come up with an actual thing they pointed to and said "that's a samoflange?" I dunno. It feels like that kinda cheapens it, y'know? It's like midichlorions all over again.

 

[Confuzor]

Yeah a recent interview Flynn pulled it out and announced it was the Sammoflange.

Also the real Tank is HUEG. Cant wait for mine.

I mean, just because Panthro didn't know what the F it was, doesn't mean it didn't exist!

Here's my Hachiman. Straight up repaint of Silver Samurai, but I'm happy with it.

 

[Confuzor]

Very impressive. Not a character I was ever majorly attached to (didnt he have like 3 different origins?!) But a great likeness nonetheless

 

[Sunstorm]

I didn't take it that he has three different origins, though they did expand on him a lot in the second season. He's actually super powerful and nearly as ancient as Mum-Ra. He's one of my favorite characters from the series. He came into my life at the height of my ninja-mania and I just have a ton of good memories with him. I also forgot, but I'm going to make a small red skirt to go under his armor as well.

 

[Confuzor]

I coulda swore he was forst a time traveller, then from "another world" then later they just went somewhere on 3rd Earth to talk to him.

Granted this is going off of 20 year old memories. (Yay Toonami)

I just finished the entire series last weekend. My wife bought me the complete series at Walmart a few months ago and I have been watching a few a day, but I finally got time to sit down and binge watch it.

The writers jumped around a bit, and I wish he had been utilized more, but Hachiman has an "origin story" of a sort in the series. I don't want to spoil it for anyone who wants to watch the series, but Hachiman is extremely powerful. The episode is called the Jade Dragon. It's one of my favorites.

There's actually a really great fanfic waiting to be written by someone about the relationship between Hachiman and the Ninja he fought in the episode The Thundercutter. Apparently they eventually become friends and the Ninja befriends the Thundercats as well, but the writers never explained how. Ninja just shows up at Lion-O's annointment like it's all good. Or he party crashed to photobomb the anointment...I mean....he is a ninja.

I binge watched it years ago. I remember very little of it, so I may have to binge it again sometime in the near future.

I seem to remember the Sword of Omens started out OP but got to ridiculous levels of "powers as the plot demands" as time went on.

Is that BluRay or DVD that you have? I have the DVD sets that came in multiple volumes.

I think it's DVD. I'm astonished at how many times the sword broke in the series. LOL. The sword definitely waxed and waned in power.
