Thundercats wave 7 or part of it revealed

 NYCC is here and Super7's got a sneak peek at the next Thundercats wave or part of it. What do I mean or part of it? There were only 3 figures on display.

Before the pic reveals, I must comment on something slightly unrelated, Silverhawks:

He's OK but the lighter red looks a tad more orangey than I'd like.


Steelheart looks uhhh... something is off on her and I'll blame the paintjob as the main culprit. The second culprit might be the headsculpt, which looks a bit off. Not going to mention the dull gray body...

Quicksilver... Quicksilver... uhhh...
Thank you, Don Corleone. You succinctly described the issue with Quicksilver. 
I know the preorders have the warning: Fonal figure may vary but HOLY SHIT! Last time I saw a change this drastic was when Don cheadle replaced Terrence Howard as Rhodey in Iron Man 2. Looks like I'll have to drybrush some metallic paints and that I made the right choice of not going balls deep into this line. 

Shall we get to Thundercats, Ho?
Good thing I'm not interested in Ratar-O, because they dropped the ball, big time...
Apprently Ratar-O had a nice relationship with Jenny Craig... or has Tuberculosis because his weight loss is scary.

The funny part is that he isn't the worst of the figures shown...

Poor Willa of the Warrior Maidens. She has a Cher vibe going on, but Willa is supposed to be in her late teens not a 76 year old singer  who may or may not be a vampire. The smiling head looks a bit better. She's supposed to be a Warrior Maiden, not a Warrior Thornback.
Thornbacks are older than Spinsters, since spinsters are from 23-26 years old and Willa looks way older than 26...
I may order a second one later on from a 3rd party vendor and repaint her as a waitress for a Hawaiian restaurant to hang with Sewer Surfing Mike. 

Now the best or worst for last...

He doesn't look bad, but something is a smidge off. I can't quite put my finger on it... also, if this is $55, he NEEDS A SHIT TON MORE ACCESSORIES!! Also, that's not a Sight Beyond Sight Sword of Omens... that's a Danger Growling Sword of Omens, usually used before Sight Beyond Sight...
As you can see here... unless YouTube removes the account or the uploader makes the video private.

The sword looks like the one Snarf has, then the hilt turns into the fully awakened mode while the blade remains dagger sized and Lion-O can use the Eye of Thundera as a third eye and see beyond normal sight. THAT version of the sword is what we need...

Only 2 hands, a Berbil Fruit and a pouch? As it is it should be a $17 figure and not a $55 figure.
Just remember, Snarf and I'm out...
