They seem to have more priorities to the other Ultimates line than TC with all those announcements. How many waves did TMNT already released without hindrances like theTC line?
The photo they used for the delay announcement might be the moon of plundar. Could be the mountains of the moon. Tug mug?

Turtles line didnât have delays like the thundercats line did. Wave two 3 and four were originally to be made at the mattel factory, but when Brian flyn saw that the mattel factory was giving priority to jurrasic park and not getting wave two done on time he yanked waves 3 and 4 from mattels factory and made them at Super7âs. now wave 3 shipped minus Cheetara because the factory did not make the corrections to her that Super7 told them too and super7 has a warehouse full of cheetaraâs that were made incorrectly. So they delayed her and made the factory go back fix what they should have the first time and do an entire new production of her and because of this delay Brian is including a new head of her with glowing eyes. Wave 4 is ready to go brian got figure samples but the inner trays were incorrect on a few figures so the factory just has to remake the correct inner trays for those few figures and wave 4 will be shipping out. Wave 2 is still coming from Mattels Factory and the delay pushed the shipping date to December/January.
I donât think itâs just the fact that itâs toys. Itâs the fact that itâs Thundercats again. The franchise is hanging by a thread at the moment and fans arenât going to like the idea of it being cursed, jinxed or that itâs being disregarded, disrespected or mishandled because that can potentially lead to it disappearing completely and then we get nothing. Rightly or wrongly, some fans will stop supporting the line with the way things are going and I donât blame them. I donât want to do that myself but that is my prerogative and not everyone is the same. This is why Super7 should have been more careful with how they handled this because you can potentially lose the fans and that process has already begun. They need to turn things around and fast.
Itâs actually embarrassing to be a Thundercats fans right now
So Alluro is coming in this Wave maybe?
Maybe. What a weird character he was.
Was Alluro always stoned?
I think he may have been. Perhaps it was because of the crowd he had to hang about with.
Alluro was the best Lunatak.
Character-wise Iâd agree. He seemed the most intelligent, he had the best voice out of that group and probably the best design. I know other members were probably more formidable in combat than Alluro as relied heavily on his hypnotic device but I was never crazy about the designs of the Lunataks on the whole. When it came to braun and general combat as well as looking very imposing, Red Eye was probably the most impressive. The best thing about them was that they werenât as easy to defeat as what the mutants were. I liked the mutants particularly their designs. While Thundercats is a great show, I do think the mutants getting defeated so easily all the time could sometimes get a little tiresome and I would have liked for them to do better against the Thundercats more often than they did. To a certain extent, I could say the same about Mumm-Ra if you take into account all the powers that he had. I know itâs a kidsâ show but you can still have more formidable opponents. Look at some of the X-Men and Spider-Man villains from those animated shows in the 90âs.
Ok I asked Brian on Facebook whatâs going on with wave 5. Brian replied that itâs an image approval issue that neither Super7 or WB expected and everyone at Super7 is working through this to get it resolved. Brian said once the approval is worked out they will then reveal wave 5 and put up the preorder. So on instagram when Super7 posted issues beyond their controle they werenât kidding They just couldnât post the reason on Facebook. So cut super7 some slack guys its an internal issue between Super7 & WB that needs to be worked out.

Approval from who? Why? How come this is only happening with Thundercats? Iâve heard it all now. Whoâs responsible for this issue? Iâm sick of all the crap we Thundercats fans have to put up with every time a toy company attempts to do a new Thundercats toyline or each time a new show gets made. We got screwed with the 2011 show and then Thundercats Roar made a mockery of the whole franchise. I dread to think what a Thundercats movie would be like. People need to stop fucking Thundercats and itâs fans over.
On the plus side, Iâm glad that Brian got back to you but when I read this the first thing that came into my mind was âDa fuck is this shit?â. Iâm not blaming anyone specifically because I donât know whoâs fault it is but itâs very frustrating because itâs always Thundercats and itâs fans that get the shaft. Anyone who wasnât particularly a Thundercats fan but knew about this would be laughing at us at this point because our story is almost like a comedy when it comes to Thundercats.
Brian said itâs such a silly thing but if Warner Brothers wants changes we have to do what they say. Brian said he wonât know what WB desides until at least Monday.
Look right now Super7âs hands are tied. This isnât uncommon with companies like WB who own the rights to Thundercats When they lease the Lic to another Company like Super7 The Lic Holder gets final say and thats WB .
The reveal and preorder will still happen this month but right now Super7 and WB are working things out.

Alex WB owns Thundercats and is letting Super7 use the Lic. Everthing Thundercats Super7 makes has to be approved by WB before Super7 can make the figures.
Super7 thought they were good to go and then WB put the breaks on wave 5 while issues get hammerd out.
That doesnât sound good. So itâs WB again? Itâs just that in the first post it said that this is something that both Super7 and WB were not expecting. I had no doubt that it would be something silly because I couldnât think of a good reason why this would have happened and thatâs exactly why it shouldnât have. What exactly do WB want to happen here? Why are they even getting involved in this? It just goes to show that WB donât care about fans.
I know WB owns it but whatâs their problem now? I canât think what it would possibly be. I doubt that it is for the sake of the fans. I donât think that Super7 would have done anything that warrants this reaction from WB. If I was them, I would be more careful because too many setbacks for the fanbase is not good for the franchise. It can affect sales. Youâve seen how people are cancelling pre-orders. I actually got confused because it sounded like Super7 and WB needed approval but I wouldnât have thought that WB would need approval from anyone as they own it.
It could be as simple as WB feels a characters coloring is wrong all the way to WB not feeling a character looks like the Source Matterial . Iâm not saying that whats happend Iâm just giving examples. If changes need to be made then the 4H have to hurry and make those changes to the prototypes before Super7 can show them offically
I know thatâs just an example because Iâm not convinced that WB even care about that. Itâs never been the case before. Itâs only ever been fans that complained about things like that, not WB. Also, I donât think that Super7 would have veered too far away from the source material as they and the 4H probably have a better knowledge of the source material than what WB do. Maybe not better than what the fans do here though. I hope that this is not the issue because if it is, it could take a while. It would also be the first time WB have made an issue of this sort of thing because they never seemed to before and weâve already encountered inaccuracies. If they were really that anal, they would have had words with Bandai and Funko which I donât believe they did based on the final products and decision making. I just hope theyâre not planning on taking the license away.
It depends on whatâs in wave 5. Donât forget Super7 mentioned there was something special in that wave. Whatever that is could be the hold up if WB wasnât happy with how it looked.
Right now were just speculating. I personally look at it this way No matter when this month Wave 5 gets revealed and put up for preorder we wonât see product shipped untill mid to late 2022 anyway, So I donât mind waiting while things get hammered out internally.
