Next Mattel released their first wave of Classic figures which included Lion-O, Panthro, Jackalman, Mummified Mumm-Ra, and Pumyra. I am sure at some point Super7 will get around to re-releasing these two in some way, but hopefully if you are collecting this line you've already gotten your hands on these.
#Thundercats figures license
Before I go over my wish list of figures I would love to see Super7 do next, lets recap everything we know has come or coming fairly soon.įirst back in 2016 when Mattel first grabbed the license to do ThunderCats Classic figures, we got Wily Kit & Wily Kat in the forum of a SDCC exclusive 2-pack. The art was done by illustrator and animator Az Adamson and was reused on Ultimates packaging from Wave 2 onwards.Īn exclusive good ThunderCats version of Grune The Destroyer was produced for San Diego Comic-Con 2021.Between Mattel and Super7 we are very close to finally being able to complete the original ThunderCats team as well as Mumm-Ra and the original mutants with modern sculpted figures.
The figures were packaged on cardback featuring LJN-style artwork and fonts. Each figure had 5 points of articulation and came with their respective weapons and accessories. Like other toys from the ReAction line, the ThunderCats figures were 3.75 inches tall with a simple sculpt, resembling the action figures of the 70s and early 80s. In July of 2020, Super7 released its first wave of ThunderCats ReAction figures. Cheetara was released later as the figure required substantial rework and included a bonus third head with activated yellow eyes.Wave 3 onwards was produced in the Super7 factory. There was no Wave 2 Booster Pack although it was noted by fans that due to a production error Tygra was missing his elbow pad which remains unresolved by Super7. Mumm-Ra (Ever Living) including Ma-Mutt.Bulk deliveries of Version 2 stock direct from Super7 were found to have multiple layers of tape on the top of the inner box suggesting Version 1 stock was reworked by Super7 to correct production errors.Īn exclusive Glow In The Dark version of Mumm-Ra (Mummy) was produced for BigBadToyStore. Version 2 of these figures included the corrected color parts but not the bonus head. Super7 released a Wave 1 Booster Pack to correct production errors with the color of Panthro's shorts, Jackalman's neck fur and guns with a bonus third Panthro head with activated yellow eyes. The figures were packaged in what Super7 called "Display-Matic" boxes.
After production of Wave 1 and 2 completed the proportion of tooling that was owned by Super7 was transfered to their own factory storage. The second wave included Pumyra with both waves being manufactured in the Mattel Toys factory. The first wave included Lion-O, Panthro, Jackalman and Mumm-Ra. This line was re-titled "ThunderCats Ultimates" and they started off by re-releasing five of the original figures with upgraded accessories, additional heads and slight modifications. In August of 2019, Super7 announced that they would be continuing the ThunderCats Classics line of 7 inch figures that Mattel Toys had discontinued.
