Thundercats are LOOSE!! Or at least their pre-order...

Super7's Second set of Thundercats are on the move...
Felt the magic, heard the roar... and all that.
As stated, I only ordered Mumm-Ra and Tygra.
Mumm-Ra ended up being $60 due  Ma-Mutt and S7 "logic".

This, of course has raised a chain of groans by collectors and T-cats fans. I get it, Super7 items are mildly overpriced and somewhat questionable quality... (hashtag Snake Mountain fears) but they lack the same resources big companies like Mattel, Hasbro or somewhat smaller companies like NECA do.

But, on the other hand, this may be THE FINAL LINE OF OUR THUNDERCATS!! For that reason is why I caved.
I know it sounds like a weird flimsy excuse / emotional blackmail to justify these, but it is what it is. Bandai had forsaken us, Mattel did too. Unlike MOTUC,  which is done for, or TMNT, that has other avenues to get good toys (NECA and Japanese imports) Thundercats has NOTHING on the 1:12/1:10 scale for toys.

Expectations are low, of course, but my need to have the core team of Thundercats has led me to Super7...
I WISH that it wasn't this way, but it is what it is... in any case, we'll find out in q3 2021 when they come out of the toy chest
Update:
Tygra what's updated and will receive the correct Aqua coloring instead of the blue from previous pictures.
Also Mom is going to be 8 or 9 in tall instead of the traditional 7in from the classics figures. It still doesn't justify the $60 price tag for Mumm-Ra but it makes it sting a little bit less.
