I remember I had dreams of creating this out of Lego's using the Tiger and Lion Chima sets, never did get around to doing it
Thanks man! I appreciate it! I’m going big game (get the cheesy joke?) today or tomorrow for these cats!
Just for fun, a couple of aesthetic improvements on Mumm-Ra, to make it more proportionate and accurate to the Tsuguyuki Kubo's design. I think his arms and shoulders are too thin and the torso should be similar to work they did in Grune as I mentioned earlier.
I bought Funko Cheetara because, CHEETARA, but am not entirely thrilled with the expression on her face, it's rather plain and not very dynamic. Also, why did they make the accessory out of actual painted wood? It was touch and go just to get her to hold it without snapping the thing, at least nothing has broken so far, but her arm joints are exceptionally tight, much tighter than the Kitana I got from this 'line' of figures. I am cautious of moving them too much, she looks dumb holding her staff in anything but the arms to the side pose anyway due to lack of any sort of wrist rotation.
So Jaga, Cheetara, and Slithe for sure. That's a no on Captain Cracker... geez what an unfortunate name for that guy.
I love that S7 stuck with its female body for Cheetara (chest ball/swivel instead of a waist cut). Currently my most anticipated line, this one.
I know the savage world thundercats often had limbs pop off (even while still in package), but has anyone had (or tried) to pop off any of the savage world heads? I was fiddling with those 80s MOTU scaled, but extra articulated, MOTU & WWE figures that are built to easily parts swap and am considering getting some additional articulated figures to use as the base for some TCs; but want to know if there are warnings before trying to do so with the savage world head to make the surgery & customization go as smooth as possible. Would really like to get more mobility in some of those Thundercat limbs for use & posing with their weapons. Cena: “what is this guy mumbling about ‘...sight beyond sight?’ Surely, he can’t see me, right?!??”
Just got back from ToyMan toy show in St. Louis. Pretty good haul, but I’m definitely most excited about adding the SDCC Wilykit and Wilykat figures to the collection. These technically make the first Thundercats Classics that I have, although I have several of the Ultimates preordered from Super7.
That new wave is insane. Jaga and Slythe are my favorites. I love seeing capt cracker get released it shows they’re willing to dig deep right off the bat. I really hope we see a Lunatak in the next wave.
