Whatcould Thundercats wave 10 be?

 With the weird wave 9 release, wave 10 is massive question mark. I have no idea to what Super7 is thinking. Mixing toy and toon looks in a wave. Then again, what characters do we have left? Most Lunataks, Berserkers and peripheral characters. We're halfway through the toy variants of the Thundercats themselves.
Sure we could get LJN Slithe, or Vultureman, but they'd work better as filler folks. Would anyone even buy the Luna Lasher Mumm-Ra or the Thunderwings Lion-O?

So, I KINDA understand why the LJN padding, but at the same time the forcing people to buy 4 figures with a pricetag of $55+ each for a head pack of heads that should've been with the figures is a dick move.

So, we know they're having 2 repaints, 1 Lunatak and one "hero"... I'll make 3 possible wave 10 rosters. One of them will be an $90 Amok with 2 LJN repaints. The other teo would be 4 figure waves.



Amok wave:
$90 Amok figure. While he's not super big, he's big. Closest figure to his size would be TMNTU Guerilla Gorilla but in all four legs. For accessories he should have
-1 extra head (mouth agape)
-2 extra hands (dramatic pose)
-1 Luna Torso
-2 Luna heads (normal and angry)
-3 sets of Luna crotch and legs (standing, squatting, and riding Amok)
-10 Luna arms 
The first 4 arms are straight arm and bent arms with c-grip hands. The bent arms would have an elbow cut and a disc hinge at the shoulder, finishing up with wrist cut. The straight hands would have the shoulder disc hinge and wrist cuts. The second set of 4 arms would be the same as the first but with dramatic hands.
The last 2 arms are designed to hold on to Amok's horns.
- Luna's riding crop

Due to her size, Luna can't be a standard figure, I tried to give the most articulation possible to her diminutive frame. I had to cheat with alternate parts because at her size, it would be nearly impossible to have proper articulation.

LJN Redecos for this wave:
Slithe
Tygra

Alt wave 10:
Red-Eye
Tuska Warrior

LJN Redecos:
Vultureman
Pumyra

Other Alt wave 10
Tug-Mug
Safari Joe

LJN redecos:
Bengali (based on the Argentine release, which is a Modified Tygra)
Super7 could achieve this look with a Bengali figure with a new torso, and reusing Tygra's arms and a new "young Tygra" head. Add the bitching silver axe hammer  and boom

Snowman of Hook Mountain

And there we have it, three different options that could be the next wave of Thundercats figures. How off am I? We shall see soon-ish? Like sometime in this decede.
