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

Exactly, like this.

I see now the arm is exposed but the skin tone is the wrong shade.

I agree with everything you've said.

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 also agree with everything you've said.

I pointed that out to Brian Flynn on FB, Not sure if its the lighting in the case making her arm look like that or if its how the resin sculpt was painted at 4H , but I sent Brian a few images of Cheetara from the show just in case as they accept friendly fan input.

Slithe looks spot on, ot sure about his second head, but the main figure, amazing. Cracker looks accurate too. I wish Jaga wasn't so buff, and Cheetara needs a bit of work. Nice selection for the wave.

I think the reveals are pretty amazing!
- Slithe is the absolute best and the one I'll be getting from this wave. I assume this will be a $60 figure? Would have liked to see some more weapons like Warp Gas grenades or a blaster instead of the Second head, which seems a bit redundant.
- Cheetara looks pretty good, not 100% accurate, but in the same manner as Tygra. Like Tygra, I find the face is very bland and not very ThunDerian. Doesnt really look like Cheetara. But overall a great figure with great accessories. Second head looks great!
- Captain Cracker is an amazing addition and the inclusion of Polly is awesome, but as a figure he's a bit off. Maybe too wide in the shoulders? Or too skinny everywhere else? I feel his pants should be more baggy, especially in the crotch area :roflmao Great second head and accessories.
- Jaga is a beautiful figure, but WAY too buff and his helmetend head is a bit too small. His hemet is basically the size of his skull. Combined with the musculair body he's got a bit of a pin head.

They are Ultimates so they all get second heads, and as for accessories there still could be stuff coming that wasn't shown. These were so early in development that jaga's and cheetara's accessories weren't even painted yet. So between now and the Preorder in April more accessories could be added like warp gas grenades. Mumm- Ra was $60.00 because he was a two pack with Ma-Mutt.

Well, we can only discuss what was show. Or would you stop discussing everything until the final product is revealed? No fun in that, right? So Slithe's $45? Cool! Also, yes, second heads are standard, but why not do something with it besides an open mouth? In Slithe's case, why not a version without his crown, LJN style? Way cooler than what was shown.

Slithe is really disappointing. The LJN Slithe was one of, if not the best, sculpted figure in the line. I was really hoping a modern sculpted Slithe would look amazing and drastically better than what was shown.
[USER=524]@ThunDerianRoyalGuard[/USER] I agree an LJN style head with a different facial expression would be a lot better.
What about a different head of a Reptilian warrior so people could mrmy build some mutant soldiers.

Really? What dont you like about it?

Aside from the face sculpt and the colours, I was really hoping the scales/skin texture would be a lot more defined.

They look grand! Sure Cheetara’s face can have more expression but I’m happy with the prototypes. I’m very excited to get these 4 so soon!!!

He's not even buying the figures in this line, he stated this already a month ago when they showed wave two.

I agree they look fantastic, and i'm sure we haven't seen all the accessories yet either

I haven't ruled out the possibility of buying some of them. The quality on the last wave of MOTUC seemed to be vast improvement compared to their previous products.
Believe it or not the more I've been looking at their Andre the Giant the more I actually like it. The face isn't great by any means but the body proportions and cloth jacket etc are very nice.

Yes, I agree that the LJN Slithe has a better sculpt but he was more detailed than the version we saw in the show. He looked like he was out of a movie. I think with this one, they're trying to make him look a bit more like how he was in the show so therefore, less realistic. I think the LJN style alternate head is a good idea as well. As for reptilian army builder heads, I don't really see that working because Slithe's reptilian henchman had a different body shape to what Slithe has. Slithe is a lot more chunky and hunched. His reptilians would require a completely different body mould. It would be easy to army build with Jackalman and Monkian because their henchman looked pretty much the same as they did.

You're right on the colours, but the sculpt is boss. Looks like he stepped right out of the show. I wish they could manage that for all the figures.

Not keen on the sjin texture. Thought it would be more defined like the LJN.

Great selection for this wave, really pleased with it.
Captain Cracker is a surprise, but a welcome one. I'm really surprised how many people don't seem to know who he is, he's not that obscure. He had a vintage figure, appeared in several episodes and other media. If I had one nitpick about him it's I'm not sure if his eye is a little too cartoonie and could have been Classicized a little more. Is it sculpted at all or just painted on?
Great to see Jaga has a sculpted cape.
Cheetara's second head is a great use of a second head, with the hair blowing in the wind for her running pose. Its not just the same head with a different expression.
