It came from the Toy Chest: Pen dropping on thing edition

 If you know the infamous bloopers from the Original Thundercats, you know what I'm talking about.


I was going to review only Wilykat, but they're a set, even if they're individually packaged.

Super7, when?
But let's ignore Wildstorm  and focus on the youngest Thundercats whose names aren't Lion-O.
Size comparison.


Now the youngest looking Thundercats, since they're like 2 years older than Lion-O, but their cryopods worked correctly. 
The annoying Kid Sidekicks of the Thundercats... but a thousand times less annoying than Snarf... The Thunderkittens... Older than Lion-O before his pod malfunctioned, now Younger looking than Lion-O but still older than him...  there we go. 


Articulation:
Despite being different sculpts from their Mattel counterparts, the articulation is similar, but slightly better on paper. They have the terrifyong waist ball joint in place of an ability crunch. Wilykit's skirt isn't as intrusive as I thought.
4.5 for both


Paint and sculpt:
The paint is an improvement over Mattel... on their faces and Wilykit's outfit. A downgrade on Wilykat's outfit. Mattel's paint job is more accurate there. Wily Kit feels like she too has a wrong shade of blue. The sculpts are a bit better on Super7's. Also, they're smaller than Alice and barely taller than the FTC kids.
Kat: 3.5
Kit: 4.0


Accessories:
As with Mattel, there is a clear favoritism towards Wilykat.
He has 5 hands
Extra head
Coiled lasso (Reused with Kit)
Loose lasso (reused with Kit)
Spaceboard and stand (reused with Kit)
She has 3 hands
Extra head
Coiled lasso (Reused with Kat)
Loose lasso (reused with Kat)
Space board and stand (reused with Kat


At least Mattel was more unique with the weapons.

Kat: 5.0
Kit: 4.5
Kit: Oh my Lord! Why are you covering yourself?
Lion-O: It's nothing Wilykit. The Sword of Omens is acting up.
Kit: Aww! Remember when you had a crush on me?
Lion-O: I-uh I-I-I-I gotta go!
Kit: I have a crush on you now!


Overall;
Doing Math says that Wilykat gets a 4.33 while his sister gets a 4.33 as well? Fuckdammit!! Are these worth $55 each? Hell no! Are these figures an improvement over their Mattel counterparts? Yes... but only if you use the Mattel rope weapons with them. 
Kit: I'm on entrusted, Lion-O and you are the only suitable partner.
Lion-O: By Jaga!
Jaga: Lion-O you must stop! She's a teenager and you're-
Lion-O: A younger teen trapped in this body.
Jaga: But the optics...
Kit: Shut it, old man! Lion-O is my lord and sire and as his subject, I must take care of him! Not to mention that I'm OLDER THAN HIM! She needs someone her age! That's why I went back in time and brought young Lion-O.
Young Lion-O VO: That's not how this works. She wants Big Me! He'll, I want Big me!
Lion-O: What the Hell? I'm Gay now?
Jean Grey VO: You're welcome, Nefty!
Nefty VO: You were supposed to make Wilykit not be in heat. I didn't say anything about making Lion-O gay!
Jean Grey VO: can you say Hey?
Nefty VO: HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYY!
