Silverhawks stands at Super7: $20 bucks and a new wave

 Chi chi chi amo... those who grew up watching the LatAm dub know the reference...

But first this nifty stand... it may set you back $20 plus shipping. This should be an evergreen item, but they're made to pre-order.


They look fine, especially the segmented tail for yes-man. Pokerface is missing his neon rose. Copper Kidd's bird is not a whistle. Las time I tried pre-ordering from Super7 I got told that they will no longer use USPS for pre-ordering, therefore I'll only get Yes-Man from BBTS. There's no way I'm paying $110+ for shipping. To put things in perspective. I paid $80 shipping for Snake Mountain.

It came from the toy chest: Grey skinned Lady Gaga

 


Seriously Super7  what the fuck? Why is Melodia grey?

She's supposed to look Caucasian on the paler side but not Marble Statue...

This is bad I mean Look at Melodia:


I did a crappy job with the Cellphone photo adjustment to visualize a closer to normal Melodia skintone

Her grey skintone bothers me so muc, I'm bitching about it before the actual review.

Melodia never had a figure back in the day. This is the very first Melodia figure ever... at an official capacity. The only female member of the mob and the evil counterpart to Bluegrass. Possible inspiration to Lady Gaga.

Let's get cracking.

Articulation:
Skirt limits articulation a little, but her skirt has slits. Learn, Mattel... but the shoulderpads block the articulation and...

Uh... are her arms supposed to pop off? She's not a Silverhawk that requires swappable arms.
3.5

Paint and sculpt:
The paintwork is decent.It's just the wrong colors.

Found tbe pic they used as source for colors. A Pic of her in outer space while she uses her keytar... the red energy is washing out her colors.
3.0



Accessories:
Extra head
8 Interchangeable hands
Keytar
Music Blast effect piece
Music Swoosh effect piece
Amp with wires
Walkie-talkie

She's got stuff... but it's missing something... hell even Hardware lost his Kenner bird of prey.
5.0
Kidd: *whistles* Tuna
Melodia: You are welcome, kiddo...
Kidd: You'll still go to jail though... *whistle*
Melodia: Party pooper.



Overall:
Melodia gets a 3.83 as her final score. I'm gonna be the one who says it. The paint job and the articulation really hurt hurt her.

Bluegrass: *plays song*
Melodia: Fuck You!


Sep 18, 2025

Melodia is here!

I am so fucking aroused...

And Hardware... and Flashback...

$65 each!? Yeah, no...

Their killen teh lien.

Son de plata y de acero

 Silverhawks... Super7 remembered they do Silverhawks toys and they teased Flashback

I suppose the reveals will come during the week.

Honestly I don't know if waves will be smaller, but I'll post a speculation list assuming a normal wave.:

Flashback
Condor
Timestopper
Hardware 

I would prefer Melodia, but the joke is delaying Melodia.

On Beat-em' ups and 80s/90s properties.

 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, GI Joe, Karate Kod, now He-Man and the Masters of the Universe have entered the 2D Beat-em' up game. 

Transformers have the 3D Run and gun games like War for Cybertron and Devastation. But there are other properties tbar could work on this genre:

Let's start with the obvious one:

Thundercats:
Decent sized cast with plenty of enemies, especially various generic mutants. There are plenty of enemies for a basic game, additional enemies for DLC and sequels.
Characters like Willa, Hachiman, and thr Snowman as DLC. No, SUGGESTING A BLACK SCREEN LYNX-O MODE, would be a dick move.

Silverhawks:
This one sounds like is perfect for a beat-em'up, but the Mob lacks generic members for it to work as a beat-em up. The game should be mostly a clone of this:

Where the Silverhawks chase down Mob members then once they disable the getaway vehicle, the game turns into a brawler where the Silverhawks have to fight one of the members of the mob.

Tigersharks:
I vaguely remember the show, but it would probably feel like an underwater reskin of Silverhawks.
But it could be made different by perhaps making it a half 2D side-scroller half beat-em'up game.

The first half loosely inspired by

The second half, a beat-em'up... 

The Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers:
I Vaguely remember the show. Mostly the theme song.

I know galoob made the toys, but I don't know if Hasbro has the rights.

Disney's Gargoyles:
The Old SEGA Genesis game was good. But there was no love for the rest of the Manhattan clan.
A Beat-em'up! Game with flying elements.

Captain Planet and the Planeteers:
The game would be a standard beat-em'up! starring the Planeteers. Captain Planet is not playable. Period. Captain Planet would be the finishing move for each boss. The caveat is that the more players playing co-op , the less Energy you need to charge to summon Captain Planet.
You're soloing it as Ma-Ti: you'll need 5 Super charges to summon Captain Planet.
Playing with 3 Planeteers? A little bit over 1.5 super bars is all you need.

My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic:
Hasbro wouldn't have the guts, but it's doable...

Jem and the Holograms:
This was a game that should've come during the Rockband and Guitar Hero Craze.

Super7 is being Superlazy

Their latest SDCC Reveal is:

A Vac Metal redeco of Mon*Star.

 Lame. Given the whole Vac Metal easily flaking off figures, a smart purchase this is not, adding the higher costs of vac metal plus tariffs to Super7's already high prices with hot or miss QC. Despite all that, I still support them. Says a lot about me, doesn't it?

But yeah, this is the THIRD powered up Mon*Star released. By Super7. 

Problem is that these constant repaints redecos make it seem like the writing's on the wall for Ultimates! I HOPE we get good news with "the con" this weekend. Was it this year or 2028 when SDCC dies? I keep forgetting.

It Came from the Toy Chest: El Niño de Cobre

 Copper Kidd... My Mom used to have a crude remark when I mentioned El Niño de Cobre. Mainly because she mocked the Mentor/Mentee Relationship between Bluegrass and CK. Gay Cowboy taking a minority child under his wing... you get the idea. "El Niño de Cobre y que 


del culo le sobre." Holy shit, I just realized it's even worse! But let's not dwell in crass comments that flew over my head when I was 4-5 years old. Or how much my Mom hated Copper Kidd's bird companion.

He's the youngest Silverhawk. Hails from the planet of the Mimes and communicates by whistling.

Articulation:
The Kidd has Nirmal Ultimates articulation on paper. Legs only move sideways less than 45° 
Arms are a bitch to swap. Grab by the shoulder not the bicep. No need for another Steelwill
Incident. 
4.0


Paint and Sculpt: 
Like the previously reviewed Silverhawks, CK is toon based. The sculpt is pretty accurate, while the paintwork is really lacking. Something about the wing sculpt in the alternate arms bugs me. They look like two left wings, but the arm sculpt is accurate.
4.5



Accessories:
2 extra heads
Winged arms
7 extra hands
2 weapon  Discus
2 hip display discus
2 laser blast effects
Rest bird
Flight bird

While Super7 went for the bare minimum,  this figure still feels ultimate.
5.0
Quicksilver: Great job, Tally Hawk!
Tally Hawk: *cawww!"
Copper Kidd: *Whistles*
Steelwill: (telepathically) Sis, why must we pose like this?
Steelheart: (telepathically) Calm down Bro. I just found some areas in my armor to have been extra buffed up and I have a suspect.
Steelwill: (Telepathically) I know you suspect the Kidd, but How do you explain mine!?
Bluegrass: Allow me to give you some Hot Licks action, Skipper! 
Nefty VO: Wait... Yo! Cowboy? Are you gay?
Bluegrass: Me? Gay? Naw! I sneak out to fingerbang Melodia. Wish I could give her the hot poker but this stupid cybernetic bodies have no dicks! 
Steelwill: Then who is giving me a shiny metal ass?
Nefty VO: We have a Mystery in our hands.


0verall:
Copper Kidd gets a final score of 4.5, which is an excellent score. Could he have been better sure? But I don't see any room for improvement other than a better paint job with more metallic tones.



¡¡¡Siempre buscan con afan  LA VERGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

Silverhawks: an Ultimates rant

 Super7 has very little to stretch out Silverhawks. We have:
Quicksilver
Bluegrass
Steelheart
Steelwill
Stargazer
Copper Kidd
Hot wing

Monstar both forms
Buzzsaw
Windhammer
Mo-Lec-U-Lar
Mumbo Jumbo

We're missing:
Condor
Moonstryker
Flashback

Hardware
Yes man
Melodia
Time Stopper
Pokerface
 
So we probably we'll see toy redeco waves intertwined, which will make people lose interest.

Same problem We're reaching with Thundercats. But Silverhawks has a silver lining: the line-up isn't as big as Thundercats and there are canonical variants.
Tracksuit variants
The Silverhawks back when they had no metal but were real... would that prolong the line, or will the $55 price tag that could potentially increase scare off customers... that is the question. Or will Seymour and Zeke save the day, if you know what I mean? 

Only time will tell. Guess 2025 is where the next Silverhawks wave is at.

That is also a problem, since the last wave was a repaint. When there are these huge gaps among waves, people become disillusioned. Me, personally, after getting Copper Kidd, it's Melodia and I'm out. Maybe getting Hardware to more or less have a semi rounded Mob. (I have a Windhammer and a Buzzsaw whose right arm keeps falling off.)

Super7 New Silverhawks wave... WTF!?

 Bluegrass and Steelwill in vac metal. Mo-Lec-U-Lar and Windhammer are the figures...

New version above, Old version below: Note, I added a pic of the vintage toy iver empty space to showcase the color accuracy of the new Windhammer... and the accessory inaccuracy as well.

Seriously!? They not only have LESS Accessories in the new version, but the most important accessory is WRONG!? 

Mo-Lec-U-Lar is treated similarly.


New version above, old version below:
Seems that Mo-Lec-U-Lar got more New parts, but still less stuff at the same price point... it's a load of bullshit. Not as bullshit as Bluegrass and Steelwill getting less for more.

Even if I wanted this, I can't pre-order from Super7, since they're onky using Fed Ex for Puerto Rico. Now they added a $200+ shipping option, but the Matt Cardona Preorder HAD USPS Shipping for PR and lost it when the Silverhawks wave was added. They're making Digital River seem competent...


Aug 11, 2024

Top most wanted characters from various Super7 lines.

 I will try to keep TMNT to a minimum... give me Pizzaface, Kyle... stop holding him back, dangflabbit!

GI Joe:

Sgt. Slaughter:
This one is obvious. It's Sgt. Slaughter. One of my favorite wrestlers that is NOT Hulk Hogan.

Shipwreck:
You KNOW that his review will have Shenmue references... with him being a sailor and all that.

Silverhawks:
Melodia:
Lady Gaga before there WAS a Lady Gaga... Also, she never had a toy in the 80s... that's reason enough for me.

Yes-Man: (Esclavo en español)

Flashback:
I had him as a kid... that's it. I might even get the vac metal version. 

Dungeons and Dragons
(Aside the remaining kids, Dungeons Master, and Venger)
This one is tough... since I'd be up for some monsters like Mimics, or Beholder... Mindflayer... but for Show characters now that's tougher.
Karena: (Venger's sister... supposedly voiced by Jennifer Darling... not so subtle I need Irma hint)
Female Venger... Sometimes I'm a sucker for that shit... this is one of those.

That's it... All I want from this line is the kids, Dungeon Master and Venger.

Thundercats:
Aside Willa's Sister and a High as a kite Tygra, I nearly got everyrhing I wanted... Logistics stopped me from getting Thunderkittens, but I have Mattel's.

No. I WOULD NEVER SUGGEST 2011 Thundercats just to get Eric Matthews-O or Tygra Scott Kennedy... I won't play Mumm-Ra like a DMAN FIDDLE!! So let's see 80s characters... 80s characters... Nope, I'm done.

Power Rangers:
Yeah, no... My wallet wouldn't survive a $550 onslaught of Teenagers with Attitude. By that I mean Rangers in civilian clothing.

Since Star Trek, Simpsons, and Disney are dead won't bother with saying Q would've been great... and maybe a Hwil Hweaton just to tell him to shut up.

TMNT (Mirage):
Based on the Mirage logo on Casey, I can make Mirage requests... that aren't repainted variants. Because I recently made a list of those.

Baxter Stockman:
I just want a Human Baxter that doesn't look 2k3... I know NECA made a great Baxter, but that's for their 6 inch line. I want a seven inch scale Baxter.

Renet:
I'm not fond of the hyper censored designs from the cartoon adaptations. I want busty bimbo Renet in a bathing suit with more watches than a shady bootleg watch salesman. 

CRAP Survivalists:
Yeah, I'm sticking to the earliest stuff, because that's what I've read a few times across my existence.

Shadow Jones:
Just for the sake of Having Casey as a Loser Dad who can't barely make ends meet, but sneaks around at night to hang out with a bunch of teenagers.

Fuckdammit I turned this into a Turtles list didn't I? Fuck it!

2k3 TMNT:

Justice Force:
I want the whole team... released slowly and if S7 fixed the Shipping to PR thing, I could order from them AND other sites, thus softening the blows.

Bishop:
I want weird MIB dude... for weird MIB reasons...

Hun:
I Needs Big Chonky Boi...

Silverhawks wave 6 speculation:

 Now that Copper Kidd preorder is put, we need to speculate on Wave 6:

But I will make 2 wave 6, one based on the topn, one based on the toys:
Vintage toy based wave 6:
Bluegrass
Steelwill
Windhammer (which would be disappointing)
UltraSonic Suit Quicksilver 

This wave is basically redeco city with the one new variant being a redeco with a new head and accessory.

Toon based wave 6:
Moonstryker
Condor
Timestopper
Pokerface

Nefty but you really want Melodia for a Lady Gaga joke and to continue the whole Bluestar simps for her in OF joke, why isn't she on the list? 

Because This is Super7 pulling a "fuck you Nefty" wave. Also, I fear Timestopper will be tiny...

Super7 Good News/Bad news

 Super7 just released the Copper Kidd preorder. It's just the Kidd and the racer... $205 doesn't sound too bad. Roughly $53 plus taxes if in the US if one were to use a pay in 4 bi-weekly plans... like the one I used to get 2 Rat Kings. Specifically PayPal pay in 4 since ShopPay apparebtly doesn't work in Puerto Rico or doesn't recognize my cards/address. 

Well, guess what?

What?

Super7 apparently blocked PayPal pay in 4.  Checked it on eBay and now have my third Ultimates Alice... (this one is to turn into a MuTeens Tribble) I didn't pull the trigger on a Lady Jaye because customization of Super7 figures is a bitch... (will save this for another rant.) So, I must drop at least $212 in a single blow... which I can't... especially as I already blew my Toy cash on fully paying for S7 Hank and Sheila, because Pay in 4 was a no go... didn't notice that until I got the email. 

So, next paycheck, I'll just get Copper Kidd unless they fix the pay in 4 issue. If they do I might get both the Kidd and the Racer. But here's the wave:

You can see the entire wave... The Racer, Kidd and the Superpack bullshit including items that Kidd should've been with him.

He's fucking tiny, there's no excuse for that winking head and that blaster that came with Steelwill to be relegated to extras.

Also, no Sleeve for the box... 

Feb 7, 2024

The Kidd is coming... and he smells like pennies.

 Copper Kidd is coming! The final core Silverhawk is getting made. We knew this for a while, but we have an official teaser.


He and his racer are rumored to be the next wave of Silverhawks alongside another figure.

My gut says Hardware, but my dick brain says Melodia... if y'all remember my Bluegrass review  you'll know why I want Melodia.

Guess we'll find out shortly before the Dungeons and Dragons preorder closes.

Super7 has released Silverhawks Toy styled wave 4

 It stinks and I don't like it. It has 4 heads as an "incentive to buy all 4 figs" but it's a load of bullshit. It costs $280 in order to get all 4 figures. The Silverhawks are $65 each, Mon*Star is still $85 and Buzzsaw is $65... there is no explanation on why Buzzsaw is $65, since he has no Vac Metal.

The incentive confuses me. It seems that 3 out of 4 heads are repaints?

This little warning scares me:
They're already covering their asses for the eventual paint chipping from the vac metal stuff.
Mon*Star, I understand hos price point since he's fucking huge... Krang's Android Body might need to be bigger:

But back on topic: If Buzzsaw has no vac metal, why the fuck is he $65!?


Aug 1, 2023

It came from the Toy Chest: Moon Star of Limbo...

 Give me the time, the figures, the review of Mon*Star!! Yes, I'm getting off my ass and doing a Silverhawks review. By the title you should guess that I'm reviewing it the bad guy from the show, Mon*Star...

I forgot the MOC Pic, but whatever... This is Mon*Star, leader of Limbo's Mob and capable of transforming into a gigantic armored Monster.
Mon*Star: I can't believe Melodia was able to do that with a Spacegerbil! Who the Hell is call- Hello!
YesMan VO: Masster, I'm sstuck in the Sssuper7 pipeline. Might be arriving after wave 5...
Mon*Star: What!? Who will prepare the transformation chamber for me!? YOU! THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT! FIRST THIS CRAPPY CHAIR NOW NO YESMAN! YOU WILL NOW BE THE NEW YESMAN!
Nefty VO: Are you talking to me!?
Mon*Star: You see anyone else here, Nefty?
Nefty: *sigh* but I'm not wearing a snake suit...
Chichichi ano...
Mon*Star: And none of that Spacebeaner language...
Nefty: The things I do for Melodia... Yes Master...


Articulation
He has standard Silverhawks Ultimates articulation. His loincloth? or PUEBES! He has decent range but his head is a smidge heavy. This makes him a bit prone to fall if arched back a bit too much.
Mon*Star: Moon Star of limbo...
Nefty VO: You're tearing me apart, Melodia!!
4.5

Paint and sculpt
He looks like Mon*Star and has shading that mimics the cartoon cel shaded look without going full cel shading on a figure. His sculpting is really great I'll be it a bit painful because the spikes and hair on him are made of a rather harder plastic and they kind of hurt. Sadly his second head had his teeth badly painted.
Mon*Star: GIVE ME THE MIGHT! THE MUSCLE! THE MENACE! OF-
Nefty VO: WRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
4.5

Accessories
Sky Shadow organic for
Sky Shadow robotic (sleeping)
2 extra heads
9 extra hands
5.0

Overall
Monstar gets a-
Really? Now a transformation?
Mon*Star is now bigger, longer, and uncut...
He's also hornier now, because of all the horns on his face. You were thinking naughty thoughts weren't you?
Mon*Star: OF MON*STAR!!
Cat got your tounge? Not going to make a silly joke?
Nefty: I did the Transformation thing, I'm outta here! Tell Melodia thanks but no thanks. Dealing with your bullshit makes parking in her garage not worth it...
Mon*Star: Wait, what!? Are you talking about sex with Melodia?
Nefty: What? Sex with Melodia!? No way dude! She inherited a garage and she wanted me to be a valet parker for her.
Mon*Star: Oh... here I thought that...
Nefty VO: OF COURSE I WAS TALKING ABOUT HAVING SEX WITH MELODIA! SHE'S THE ONLY WOMAN IN THE WHOLE GALAXY THAT HAS ORGANIC GENITALIA! *Bangs metal panel* my schlong ain't a jackhammer that could pound Steelhearts robobox...
Mon*Star: Did you bring pretection?
Nefty VO: you mean Condoms? Of course!
Mon*Star: Good, but I was talking EAR protection. I just saw the Melodia Spacegerbil special and her voice...
Nefty VO: What? Can't  hear you! Imwearing my Melodia-proof noise cancelling headphones and earplugs!


Like Mumm-Ra before him, Mon*Star has a transformed form that is bigger than his depowered version... This form is the most popular form of the character.
Mon*Star: Now I'M MAD! NO ONE IGNORES MON*STAR!!
Nefty VO: (singing) come on Barbie let's s go party! Ah ah! oh yeah! 


Articulation
Don't let his size fool you, he is as posable as a standard size figure. Sadly, mine has weak ankles and he's prone to falling. Okay, I may have lied a little bit, because the shoulders are a bit hindered by the shoulder pads.
Mon*Star: WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU GOING NEFTY!? YOU STILL HAVEN'T PARKED IN MELODIA'S GARAGE! I'VE SPENT WAY TOO MANY CREDITS ON HER OF FOR YOU TO BACK OUT!! WRRRRAAARRRGH!
4.0

Paint and sculpt
The sculpting on this figure is flawless. It totally captures the essence of the character. While he's molded in mostly the appropriate color there are a few areas that have the appropriate painting touches my issue lies at the colors aren't exactly just as I remember. For some reason he is less orange than what I remember. The brighter Reds are more on the reddish side than the orange just like the dark Reds. I suppose these slight changes are based on the actual cel animation and not what was transmitted on TV. It's not a big issue, but TO ME it's a bit jarring.
Nefty VO: I'd drop that weapon IF I were you.
I accidentally let the Silverhawks in. Something about stopping your operation... kay thanks byeeee!!
Mon*Star: NEFTEEEE! I HATE YOUUUUUU!
4.5

Accessories
1 extra head for the eye beam effect
Extra hands
His blaster
Sky Shadow robotic form
Elbow blasts
Elbow propulsion blasts
Mon*Star: SILVERHAWKS!? WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE!? I HAVEN'T BROKEN ANY LAWS RECENTLY! HELL, I'VE BEEN KEEPING UP WITH MY HOUSE ARREST! LimboEats is draining my wallet... if you know what I mean!
Seymour VO: That's my catchphrase, if you know what I mean!
Quicksilver: Zip it, big red! We're looking For Melodia. She kidnapped Copper Kidd and is forcing him to do unspeakable acts as we speak!
Mon*Star: Are you talking about sexual stuff? Because I don't tolerate that shit! Murder, drugs, racketeering, sure, but sexual abuse against minors, that's the one line I don't cross... I'm Mon*StAr! Not a monster!
Steelwill: Not what we were talking about, but it's good to see that even you have a bit of a moral fiber...
Steelheart: She's forcing Copper Kidd to watch the old Rankin Bass Christmas specials AND Lord of the Rings.
Bluegrass: Now now, pardner. That's no way to talk about Rankin Bass. They've done some great stuff...
Steelheart: Name ONE good Rankin Bass Pro-
Mon*Star: THUNDERCATS!!
Steelheart: Let me finish. One good Rankin Bass produxt that ISN'T Thundercats.
Mon*Star: Oh... can't think of any.
Steelheart: Exactly.
Steel Will: How about Tigersharks?
Steelheart: The only salvageable part of The comic strip...
Bluegrass: There must be something else that is salvageable...
Quicksilver: Jackson 5ive?
Nefty VO: NO YOU IDIOTS!! SILVERHAWKS! THE ANSWER IS SILVERHAWKS! GOOD RANKIN BASS SHOW THAT ISN'T THUNDERCATS, THAT'S SILVERHAWKS! Screw you guys, I'm going with the Thundercats... at least they have Cat Meme potential.
5.0

OVERALL
Now I can discuss the scores of both Mon*Stars.
Tally hawk: (thinking) Good thing Nefty forgot about us...
Organic Sky Shadow: (thinking) Why couldn't I be born in Eternia? I'd fit perfectly there... Hell, even Tally here could fit on with Zoar and Screech.
Nefty VO: I didn't. I spared you out of my sleep deprived and alcohol fueled immature imagination.

Well, depowered Mon*Star gets a final score of 4.67, which is pretty good. It sucks that one of his head had messed up teeth, but at elast it wasn't the screaming head... Now let's tackle the big guy. He gets a score of 4.5 which is good. It's the top heaviness and weak ankles what stopped him from scoring higher... guess I'll drop the Vac Metal bad news here: vac Metal will raise the prices of the figures from $55 to $65-$75... suddenly my head is screaming: Fuck Vac Metal... that shit is gonna flake off, though a Vac Metal Shredder would be badass. Can you make up my mind?

Jul 21, 2023

Odds and ends 20-21st of July 2023: SDCC toy news

 Super7's Cat's Lair preorder is live. It has tiered rewards and they suck ass...
Let me clarify:

I'm NOT against this playset. To be honest, I'm sad that I can't afford it at the moment with greater responsibilities that I have to take care of... no point for toys if I'm dead/unemployed/homeless/etc. With that said, the early backer reward for reaching 3000 units sold by Sunday July 30th is kinda lame. A life-sized key of Thundera? But that's the least lame reward... if they sell 4000 preorders we get a lab table (for Tygra?) And A DAGGER MODE SWORD OF OMENS AND RESTING CLAW SHIELD!!
A Resting Claw Shield? We have one of those already, same with the sleeping Sword of Omens... I think Snarf is coming with another set of those too!

Tier 2 is a Translucent "Ass trail" projection Lion-O...
What kind of bullshit IS THAT!? I know that it's a lazy redeco to pad out the value, but they could've done so much better:
Anointed Lion-O, which is Lion-O with a new belt, soft goods cape AND new head... but that requires work. 
Child Lion-O 
He's canon, but again, Too much work!!
I hope Cat's Lair playset makes it, but they should've had better incentives...

Speaking of Super7 and bullshit. Originally we couldn't get vac metal due to the materials or something...
Flynn, you got some splainin' to do! This should not have been revealed until we had gotten Copper Kidd. Right now, there are a moderately sized group of collectors that are royally pissed off about this. I get why they would be horribly pissed off. A part of me WISHES that the Silverhawks we got looked like this but with the toon elements.
Despite preferring cartoon looks over toy looks, I'm more tempted to pick toy Buzzsaw over the toon version. But despite having the big bad Mon*Star and his depowered form. I know They need to get out the Toy Chest... been too busy with Tears of the Kingdom, SF6, and doing some sketches (as in drawings not the comedic ones) for another TMNT rant that has been cooking for over a gew weeks. Where was I? Mon*Star


I mean, there's no real difference between this and the one I have...
They made the ugly depowered head... that is Super Tempting... 

Seriously, what the shit is this!? Please tell me this isn't Wave 4 of Silverhawks...

Syndicate Collectibles is making Bloodsport figures.
ToyArk has tons of pics of the fogures they're making. The question you may be thinking now is:
Who the fuck is Syndicate Collectibles? Well, remember SOTA Toys? Well, Jerry Macaluso, who competed in Sci-Fi Channel's Face Off season 2 is the guy behind SOTA and now Syndicate Collectibles. Hopefully he learned of the mistakes in the latter Street Fighter waves by SOTA and that his Syndicate Collectibles figures don't end up being crap that disintegrates by looking at it wrong.
Their figures will be in 1:12, 1:10, and 1:18 scale... the latter will be competing against Super7 ReAction figures. 
I'm hoping that Double Dragon is in 1:12 scale. Nope! It's 1:10... not compatible with Jada's SF or Premium DNA's Battletoads line.
Bloodsport I can take in 1:12 or 1:10... preferably 1:10
But True Romance is the weirdest choice for a toyline... I know that this is mimicking NECA and Diamond Select's Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction lines, but I'd take an Alabama figure or 2 depending on price in 1:10 scale... if you're thinking that I want random hookers, then you'd be correct. Now here's the thing: Syndicate Collectibles doesn't even have a website... then there's Gary Oldman who is very protective of his likeness... then there's the couple of issues JM had with SOTA and PCS...
I honestly hope this isn't another Shocker Toys.

Mattel accidentally spoiled Revolution...
Meet technovirus infected Skeletor AKA Skeletek. In a previous rant, I believe that the Revolution He-Man with Battle Armor was spoiled.
BBTS or Entertainment Earth are getting an Exclusive Revolution 2-pack of
Orko the Aryan and
Zoardammit! I need this non-Billy Barty Gwildor.

NECA's leaning HARD on the Archie TMNT stuff AND The Last Ronin. But I don't care about that... we may have another Usagi coming.

I like the rolled sleeves look. Gives me 1990s Meiji era anime vibes... but not so sure if I like it enough to get a second Usagi.
This Big Ass Krang is probably for the 1:4 scale line BUT it also works as a Giant Turtles in Time Krang from Big apple 3 A.M.

Moving to Non-Turtle stuff...

I still can't believe the Flash Gordon line's alive!! Now with actual movie versions.

If NECA gets the Ted License they could reuse this body with a new older Sam Jones head in a 3 pack with Mark Whalberg and the eponymous Ted.

Now let's get into another 80s franchise getting new figures... if it just shuts up the "I'm tired of NECA making Turtles and gargoyles" whiny bitches... you're getting your predators and horror movie stuff... I simply don't care much about them, but some stuff IS Coming.

Robocop without Robotic parts is just Cop...
We're getting Cop... as in 1980s Peter Weller but with replacement parts to recreate the death of Alex Murphy.

But back to Turtles, since we're talking movies...
Would you look at that, it's Professor Perry! Then there's a Keno 2pack too! It's no Tatsu, but this IS good enough for me... I'm wondering where's Toon Outfit Judith Hoag?
