Wave 3 Discussion

That's what I understood also. Toyfair is too early since the wave 3 pre-order won't be up until April. So March would be the earliest for a tease

Exactly. Shame really. I would have loved new reveals at ToyFair.

What I expect to see From Super7 at ToyFair will be packaged Painted Samples of Thundercats Ultimates wave one.
Wave two Thundercat Ultimates prototypes with more info on them.
Info on the TMNT Ultimates line and The Conan Ultimates line.
Snake Mountain production update.
Also reaction figures info.
I expect that Pixel Dan will do his usual walkthrough with Brian Flynn

I've been pleasantly surprised. Wave 3 have been shown. It's Jaga, Slithe, Cheetara and Captain Cracker.

Cheetara's face sculpt needs a but of work. I know 4 Horsemen have difficulty with female faces but someone should telly them it would be nice for them to sculpt a smile on some figures.

Yeah, I think a smile would suit Cheetara.

Wow wave 3 looks great! I never expected them to actually show the figures - I thought we'd just get a tease. And I can't believe we're getting Capt. Cracker so soon! Always loved him for some reason. A little concerned we're getting so many heavy hitters this early, but still excited!

Yeah, if you're a Cracker fan, that's a bonus. Thinking about it, he did appear in more than one episode so I can see why he would get a figure. I'm not concerned about the heavy hitters. I'm actually glad. I still think fans will remain interested for a long time yet. At least it means we'll most likely get all the heavy hitters even if the line doesn't last as long as we want it to. The heavy hitters are essential. Super7 should get them in while they can, otherwise we could end up with another incomplete line. It's the idea of an incomplete line that puts people off, not one that delivers on all the main characters.

Slythe looks amazing and the best of the four.
I just wish something would come out about the release dates as we are still waiting for wave 1 to be sent....great ideas and designs but no end product

They know they have to get the heavy hitters out first as there has been so many incomplete lines.

That was my thinking. They can't afford to take the risk of not doing that. They have to strike while the iron is hot. If the line is going to last a long time, it will do so even if the heavy hitters do come early. The fans who want a long-running line will be interested in the obscure characters as well as that would be the reason for them wanting a long-running toy line. Cracker is in there to please the fans who want characters other than heavy hitters and to keep fans guessing about wave 4 as well as spreading some of the main characters out a little more for now as they still have two more waves to announce. Cracker is also a guy who appeared more than once like I said so it's easy for Super7 to justify making him. For me personally, there are characters I much prefer despite them only appearing once. Cracker never struck me as a threat. Outside of Mumm-Ra and the mutants, I liked the more intimidating villains like Mongor and Grune. I'm glad we got Grune early as he's a personal favourite. I know Grune appeared 3 times but Mongor only appeared once and in my opinion, would make a great figure. I'm itching for a Monkian figure now. I think they refrained from putting him in this wave to save him for wave 4 or 5. They may have felt like they were giving us everything if he'd been in wave 3, even though I wouldn't have seen it that way. I would have been glad because we know the waiting period for each wave is going to be long. I'm surprised Kit and Kat weren't in wave 3 but glad at the same time because to me, that wouldn't have been an exciting reveal and it made way for Cheetara.

I would like to see Cheetara also get waist swivel along with her boob swivel for more posability. Super7 gave both to their Club Grayskull Shadow Weaver.
I sent Brian Flynn a PM asking him to please give Cheetara waist swivel also.

I hope Jaga gets a Soft Goods cape too

I like wave 3's reveal very much.

Pleased and surprised!

If Super7 insists on going with the heavy hitters of the ThunderCats brand first, then for an eventual 4th wave I'd like to see:

Ben-Gali with WilyKat
Lynx-O with WilyKit
Safari Joe with Mule
The Demolisher with Dirge

And her shoulders?
I don't want another Filmation She-Ra with that issue.

I thought you could tell him, thanks anyway.

Someone should also point out that the left arm is wrong and should be exposed skin.
