Now, my immediate questions are: new factory, correct? So, a new mold?

Probably not. This could have been in the works for a while. Most likely last years cancelled holiday figure.

Oh Sebastiaan must be happy, he’s finally getting his red (Mumm-Ra) Lion-O

I highly doubt Brian would be letting the Mattel factory make this since they caused such a massive delay with wave two. This is why Brian took waves three and four away from Mattel.

I'm happy for the folks who were hoping for red Lion-o - selfishly I hope it's a 5th figure rather than one of the regular slots. I was hoping that the 5th item would somehow be Snow Meow!

I'm somewhere in between on this because I want Red Lion-O but I agree that there could be more exciting reveals and it would be nice to have another 4 in addition. I see that being a possibility. I didn't think it would take long for Red Lion-O to be announced because it's a popular choice that is also a re-paint. I am also keen on Snowmeow, I would love that. I wouldn't mind one of Slithe's generic Lizards too.

Red Lion-O is a way for them to get another Lion-O out there every so often. Expect young Lion-O at some point too. He is the Batman of the line. Not the most exciting figure, but it makes sense for them to do this and it can help keep the line chugging.

Would be cool to see him come with a chrome sword and the bracket for the sword and claw shield like the Bandai version.

Agreed. The young Lion-O might even come with Snarf.

After all these years…. Soooooooo happy.

They could have saved the angry sculpt for this guy. You fellas looking forward to having even more claw sheilds?

Yes and maybe a head with lit up eyes.

I think Wave 5 is going to be very interesting. Some vague things teased for a while. I hope it is shown this coming week.

Obviously I will buy the red lion-o figure but I pray to God it's a 5th figure. I would much rather have 4 other figures then another lion-o.

Let's get a Ratilla and a treasure of Thundera chest already boys!

:tygra:

I’m starting to wonder if Red Lion-o is some kind of exclusive figure you get if you buy the entire wave of figures. I recall Brian saying something about Wave 5 and a new direction they were going with it.

If that turns out to be the case I hope BBTS offers it as well because that’s how im ordering my sets so I don’t have to pay upfront tying up my money for a year

I have a feeling that would be the case. I also plan to order from them as well. I ordered 1-4 direct from S7, but bbts seems faster.

I ordered waves 1-4 from BBTS

Wave 5: just my guess based on all the hints:
Safari Joe
Ratar-o
Wily Kit & Kat
Spidera
Red Lion-o (exclusive)

Fwoosh forums Staff member stated Red Lion-O wont take up anyones slot in wave 5 so he must be an exclusive extra being offered in wave 5

Nice, but I want him available at all online retailers that usually supply this line.
