Clear Mumm-Ra?Β  I'm about 40 episodes into a Thundercats rewatch (first since its original broadcast run), and I have no idea what this version is referencing.Β  Β 

The clear Mumm-Ra is from Dream Master episode: https://thundercats.fandom.com/wiki/Dream_Master

Β 

Since that is episode 56 it makes sense that Astalon hasn't seen it yet.Β  And seeing a still shot from it confirms Mumm-Ra does appear translucent in the episode... so at least it's screen accurate.

Β 

But I can't justify paying $75 for it.Β  Β If it goes on sale at a future date for a reduced price, I'll probably pick it up to go with the other variants from the line.Β  Β Β

Fair enough Panther, I mean they sold out fast on BBTS.Β  I'm not giving S7 money up front for something that could end up shipping over a year later.Β  I gave up on dealing with S7 directly around the time Cheetara got moved around.Β  I want the ability to cancel.Β  Probably should have just done the deal with S7 but I never dreamed it would sell out so fast.Β  Cheetara sold out fast on BBTS too even with the $40 mark-up.Β Β

Ah, this Snarf makes it hard to want many more ThunderCats. If they can increase the price for big figures, they can decrease the price for small figures or make them two packs.

The Super7 wave pricing strategy is really wearing thin.Β

I don’t know how they compare size wise but you can get 2 shadow demons for the same price as snarfer or kid lion o, maybe the shadow demons will be on the small side.

They seem lesser articulated and probably won't come with many accessories.Β  I haven't watched D&D since it was on TV, are there many accessories you could pack with the Shadow Demons?

I don't need a ton of obscure, one-episode nod accessories so if they wanted to pack say 2-Berbils together with no accessories, that works for me.

It has to be said that Snarfer was legitimately the most hilarious character on the show. I don't know if it's specifically what he said or the fact that he said everything in this "I just took a lot of meth" intonation or what, but he stole every scene he was in. Just the fact that he's being made makes me happy. I don't know if it makes me 55 dollars happy, but still.

And he better be smaller than Snarf.

Hook Mountain Lion-O showed up at Best Buy, so maybe there is a chance for Ghost Jaga & Super Speed Cheetara as well...

Yep, I found a "decently" priced Ghost Jaga online and ordered it.Β  You will find Ghost Jaga everywhere now; Best Buy, Target, WM, your local bank, corner gas station.Β  You're welcome!Β Β 

I figured odds were slim of finding him cheaper and he's likely to jump in price over time.Β  It's dumb but it's the remolded pelvic section with the added belt that really got me wanting this figure.Β  That kind of attention to detail speaks to me.Β  Plus, he's basically Obi-Wan's ghost, you need to have him.Β  Plus, plus, Jaga was the one of the figures of that last wave I never could find in stores and it's stuck with me ever since.Β  Found Lynx-O and Mongor only.Β  No one's ever going to tell me again I can't have Jaga!Β  Β Β

Well that explains why I got a Jaga in a Happy Meal today.

Opened Snarf, Ratar-O, & Mongor this morning. I think all 3 turned out very well.

Mongor might be my favorite of the wave.

Awesome seeing how full the ThunderCats shelf is compared to a few years back...

Bring on the next wave!

@andru My V.2 S7 Lion-O, Panthro and Ghost Jaga all arrived early today.Β  It's a bonanza!Β  I agree, I'll be re-arranging my shelf this weekend and it's getting pretty full.Β  I never thought we'd get here after Mattel canned Club Third Earth all those years ago.Β  Got my Mattel Lion-O and Panthro in the cockpit of my Thundertank with my extra Mattel Pumyra manning the cannon in back.Β  Another item I would never dream would come.Β  Now where to put that beast!

Edit: I have offended the Toy Gods again!Β  Jaga came with an severely off kilter logo disc on his cape.Β  Had to carefully pry it off and reposition it.Β  While I was there with the glue I just glued the cape to the unitard.Β  It was not staying attached with any posing or movement.Β  My Lion-O seems to have 2 sets of horizontally-hinged hands.Β  I assume one set should have been vertically-hinged (sword aloft)?Β  However, looking at some loose online shots I see that they show two sets of the same hands as mine.Β  Is this the case?Β  I emailed S7 and BBTS to see if they can send me the right hands or if I need to do a return hassle.Β  Β

I've had my ghost Jaga out for less than a week and the tips of the fingers on his right hand have turned yellow.

There's no sunlight coming in that room. The window is blocked with a bookshelf and I just have LED light strips on the shelves but have never had trouble with yellowing of anything.

I got him from that Canadian store someone posted about so I don't know if Super 7 would provide a replacement or not, but this doesn't bode well for this figures longevity.

Well thanks for setting my mind at ease but they did a bad job with the final product.Β  I thought maybe I just had a bad one but looked up other in hand shots and it just looks like the hand was left out in the sun for a long time.Β  I'm gonna take that hand off of him now because it looks awful.Β  I wish it looked more like the prototype.
