They look awesome! I personally wish the Mirror Lion-o was outside of the main 4 figures, but am thrilled for the folks who really wanted him (I’d have just rather had another good guy in the wave instead). Cannot wait for that Hammerhand!

Wahoo wahoo!
Was really hoping for Bengali, elated he comes with “rocker” wrist set of hands.
I told myself I was only going to buy the core mutants and the 'cats, but that Hammerhand has presence.
Cool. Pile of loot’s going to bursting at the seams with data… But no actual toys yet. Which is fine. My wallet says it’s fine.

I thought we were also going to see something “special” this wave like the silverhawks throne? Maybe there is more to come or maybe they changed their minds.

In any case it’s cool to finally see the reveal. I was hoping for a Lunatak, but that’s OK. The only one I’m not sure on buying is the red Lion-o.

Pretty basic wave, nothing too crazy here but they all look good. I am as desperate for a Vultureman as I am a Cheetara. He looks really well done. No Snowmeow yet…no Mandora or Wizz-Ra or anything really out of left field. I hope they can do them before the line loses steam as the main ThunderCats are done other than Kittens and Snarfs. I really hope wave 6 contains a Lunatak. I want them much more than the Berserkers.

I was really hoping for a Lunatak too, but it’s nice they started the Berserkers, and Hammerhead looks amazing. I didn’t think the red Lion-O would be part of the actual wave, but he looks great, hopefully we’ll get a pinless updated regular Lion-O at some point too. Vultureman & Bengali are perfect! Love all the accessories. I thought Mandora was going to be shown, as so many people were mentioning her.

Bring on the Lunataks next!

Pre-ordered Bengali, Hammerhand & Vultureman. Disappointed there isn’t a cartoon character, but seeing Hammerhand this early takes the sting out for me a little bit. Both of the “cartoon only” figures they’ve done so far are Mumm-ra disguises, so I’m very eager to see more from the toon!

Bengali looks great.
Lion-O on MOTUC buck still doesn’t look great and even worse compared to new figures.
Vultureman is completely put of scale.
Hammerhand’s pants and belt are completely wrong compared to the cartoon and toy.

I think they look great and pre-ordered them all.

I ordered the entire wave, even though I don’t really care about Mirror Lion-O. I’m not sure why Vultureman is so tall! Was he that tall in the cartoon.

I lost my real cat of 17 years today, so I’m pretty sad right now. I was waiting for this reveal but didn’t care due to the circumstances.

I found an image of all the mutants together from the cartoon - vultureman should be the same height as jackalman, so average height. As much as i usually wrench on super7 about accuracy, i kind of like the idea that there could be a taller mutant to put behind the others in a display. Slithe in front, jackalman and monkian middle, vultureman in the back.
I’m gutted for you about your cat, sincerely. 17 is a good run, i hope they weren’t in too much pain in the last days. It sounds somewhat cliched, but you gave them an amazing life compared to out scrounging in the wild. So many cats have it so tough, you’re some form of a cat saint for taking them in and giving them a loved life. I didn’t know them, but I hope they’re resting easy on the other side. I hope you’re doing okay with it all, too.

I’m also on the fence about Mirror Lion-O, but I do love the variant Claw Shields… As for Vultureman, the promo image of him holding the Super-Power Potion made me wonder if the scale was (accidentally) inspired by that episode, when he actually was taller and more menacing. Don’t get me wrong, he looks amazing, but in my mind Vultureman is much more of a goof than a threat. I almost want an annoyed alternate head and that ridiculous pen-parasol from “The Circus Train” to compensate. [emoji23]

I echo Ridetofight’s condolences. It’s never easy to say good-bye. I hope 17 years of loving memories can offer some comfort, though.

Same here. I ordered the whole wave through BBTS

Don’t you mean Hammerhead?

LOL that one employee with some knowledge of Thundercats isn’t doing a great job.

Would have been cool if they had also given him an LJN inspired arm.

Sorry for your loss. I lost my 14 year+ cat last year to kidney problems last year. The first few months were hardest, but even now I miss her a lot. I hope you feel better.
A new wave is no substitute for a family member, but it’s at least something positive.

Thank you.

The crotch piece below the belt on Hammerhand should be yellow, good catch. I didn’t notice it at first (and obviously neither did they - hope they correct it). Attention to detail is so important at these prices to keep the line successful.

Can’t recall if it was here or elsewhere, but the “superpower potion” that vultureman is holding is likely the reason for the size difference. Makes sense to me.
Also, over on the fwoosh boards veebs reported wave 5 is not fully revealed yet, so sounds like we still have that big reveal coming afterall.

Where was it mentioned exactly? I can’t find it.
