SDCC 2024 LED ThunderCats ULTIMATES! Review

Reviews /

There’s an old Roxette song from 1994 that starts with church bells ringing in the far off distance. While the title is Love Is All, there’s a little bit in brackets afterwards – Shine Your Light On Me. It’s the main lyric in the chorus, and the song builds to its full orchestra ensemble climax. When you get there, it really hits you. I won’t lie to you, the song is 6.44 long, but at 4.54 it strikes like lightning, brightening up the sky with a deadly glow. That is exactly how it felt when the 2024 Lion-O and Mumm-Ra the Ever-Living exclusives arrived at my house and I switched the buttons to ON…

Wave 11 ThunderCats ULTIMATES! Review

Reviews /

When it rains in Super7’s Thundera, it pours! As I’m writing this, the amount of incoming ThunderCats ULTIMATES! is and has been mindblowing, and it’s easy to get lost in all of this excitement. Wave 10 feels like it arrived just yesterday, and now Wave 11 is here a few weeks later, soon to be followed by the LED Lion-O and Mumm-Ra exclusives and my very own holy grail – Cats Lair (yes mine is a little late; blame on logistics, but so be it.) But before I get overwhelmed by what has now been dubbed the best ThunderCats ULTIMATES! wave yet, I’ll take a step back to when this all went live.

Wave 10 ThunderCats ULTIMATES! Review (Part 2)

Reviews /

I often appreciate it when there is a delay in deliveries. It sounds silly, but when there’s a new wave of ThunderCats ULTIMATES! from Super7 incoming, there’s so much goodness in the wave that sometimes characters get lost when you start ranking them based on what’s in front of you. So when they arrive in smaller quantities I get to spend more quality time with each figure, and the appreciation opportunities multiply.

Wave 10 ThunderCats ULTIMATES! Review (Part 1)

Reviews /

Fresh off an exhilarating interview with Brian Flynn from Super7 these beauties arrived on this side of the world. As I’m typing this, the other half is en route so Wave 10 will be completed soon. But let’s take a look at the young Lord of the ThunderCats, and his nemesis, the dreamy, sorry Dream Master incarnation of Mumm-Ra (Freddy Kruger better watch out!)

Wave 1 ThunderCats DELUXE Review

Reviews /

Just when you think the ThunderCats train is slowing down, Captain Bragg puts it into another gear and bam!! Super7 hits you with something new. The DELUXE line, aka DX, came out of nowhere. It just showed up one day early September on Target’s website as a featured preorder for their Fall Collector’s Spot. Needless to say the figures sold out instantly. There was a lot of unhappiness. Then the news came via Brian Flynn as he commented on a post on Instagram that these two figures – a brand new sculpt for Lion-O, and Monkian – will be available, come October, in Target stores nationwide. People breathed a sigh of relief. Well, some anyway.

Ghost Grune ThunderCats ULTIMATES! Review (SDCC 2024 Exclusive)

Reviews /

Sharpen your teeth fellow ThunderCats fans – we’ve got Hard Candy Grune in the house!!! It’s a very exciting time on this side of the world. For the last 3 weeks I’ve watched as Ghost Grune arrived with collectors in the USA and UK (can you believe it took only 3 days to ship from the US to the UK!?) and in other parts of the world. So I’ve been ready to receive this bad boy even if I purchased it the moment the preorder went live. Sucks living so far away from the Super7 warehouse…

Wave 9 ThunderCats ULTIMATES! Review (Part 2)

Reviews /

It feels like the Thunderian rollercoaster hasn’t stopped long enough for anyone to get off just yet. SDCC may be just behind us, but the world of ThunderCats X Super7 is still going ahead full speed. Now the second part of my Wave 9 review has been somewhat delayed, in part due to shipping delays, holidays and so on, but the time has finally come for more ThunderTalk!

Wave 8 ThunderCats ULTIMATES! Review

Reviews /

It felt like forever to get to this point, not just because I’ve been longing for new ThunderCats to grace my shelves, but this wave has two characters I’ve been extremely eager to own. And I’ve also been very nervous to actually get them. When there are such high expectations for one’s favorite character it makes the anticipation even more difficult. Plus the anxiety surrounding the first ever Lunatak did not really help the nerves. I honestly don’t know why I bothered. We’re dealing with pros here people. Actual pros! Enter Super7.

Wave 7 ThunderCats ULTIMATES! Review

Reviews /

We are officially seven waves deep on our shelves, with two more waves set to arrive within six months, a massive playset due in Q4, and three preorders scheduled for this year (Wave 10 is up now!). That is a mouthful right? Not even mentioning the one offs and that beastly tank that’s under our belts already. Yet the arrival of Wave 7 is an important point in the line. It signals the end for some, and the beginning for others. Let me explain.

Cheetara Super-Speed Glow ThunderCats ULTIMATES! Review

Reviews /

For a character that is known for her speed, it sure felt like she took forever to reach this side of the world! I’ve realized that lately, the moment a shipping notice reaches me, or even the first indication that a new release is finding its way into the hands of collectors, the waiting game is really unpleasant! I feel like that Mr Bean meme who is looking at his watch in the field… you know the one! Held up by the massive international hauls of gifts and purchases going here and there across the globe, she finally arrived in the middle of January, and forgotten were the weeks that felt like months.
