Silverhawks wave 3 is coming

 While both Waves 1 and 2 remain in Limbo... reference fully intended.

Honestly, right now it's just Copper Kidd and I'm out... MAYBE Melodia might convince me, but I'm getting burned out by Super7...

Thundercats have wave 5 and Cheetara missing. Sure, I got a shipping notice for Wave 2's Mumm-Ra and Tygra a few days ago... then one for Lynx-O and Monkian, but almost 2 years and 4 months for wave 2 is a bit dickish.

They are also doing a third wave for Joes and Power Rangers with no toys in sight... 

While *I* may be a Super7 Veteran, a moderate percentage of the Joe, MMPR, and Silverhawks are newbies to Super7's super slow from pre-order to delivery schedule.

It feels wrong to have over $1000 in preorders (TMNT, Silverhawks, Thundercats, and Bruce Lee) and in a few days having to fork over more money to more Silverhawks product that will arrive in 2023 or 2024. That's not counting the ($250 of Super7's ultimate figures that I preordered via BBTS because I couldn't get them via Super7... logistics)

So, as I was saying, Wave 3 is coming: Let's speculate:

We KNOW Mo-Lec-U-Lar is coming, so let's figure out the next 3-5 slots, since Super7 is getting greedy.

Copper Kidd: 

A figure whose size SHOULD make him less than $55, but based on Miss Alice P. Liddell, that's not gonna happen. 

Pokerface: 

The only reason I mention him is because he's a normal body, aside his torso overlay and face. Nothing too complicated like Mo-Lec-U-Lar or past figures.

Moonstryker: The only reason he's here is to pad out the line and save Stargazer for wave 6.

That would be it IF they stay on 4 figures/items per wave...

Now if they get greedy and try to push for 5 or more here's some possible items:

Seymour and Zeek:

While these are TWO characters, they are a bit on the smaller side, You know what I mean?

Not to mention that they're not exactly meant for Super articulated figures. 

Professor Power:

He's here because he's not exactly a super articulated figure either. His heads could be made in translucent plastic with a clear lightbulb over each head. Lends itself for a GITD variant...

His body in white GITD with the blue accents painted in GITD blue paint, his hands and heads molded in orange GITD Plastic and the clear bulb overlays... 

Since Theoretically speaking after wave 3 we only have 2 more viable waves, that's why I avoided using Timestopper, Yes Man, or Melodia... we need something to push those waves that is NOT a Tracksuit variant of the Silverhawks. Personally I would spread Prof. Power and the Seymour/Zeek pack on 2 waves. That way there would always be a "5th item".

But let's see what Super7 does...

Crazy idea for Super7 Ultimates: Vanilla Ice!!

No I am not off my rocker or off my meds... I'm actually suggesting Vanilla Ice Ultimates figures. No, it's not all about Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: The Secret of the Ooze, though it's partially an influence. But hear me out...

You know how we got two different Bruce Lees? Well, I was thinking the same thing but with Vanilla Ice... there are plenty of iconic outfits to choose from.

You probably thought of:

-Cool as Ice

-American flag outfit 

-TMNT2: SOTO Outfit, which is the most subdued of all.

-Old Man Vanilla Ice (modern Ice)

If you did, then you thought 2 more thab I originally did. I was going to go with TMNT2 and American Flag. The idea was that since he's mostly covered up, an extra head of 50-something Vanilla Ice could be used and it wouldn't have an adverse effect.

The reasons for me choosing these outfits are that they don't have elaborate paint work required and that they would cover his arms and avoid having to do the tattoos.

Now for basic accessories, there would be heads, hands, TMNT themed cap for the Old Man Vanilla Ice head, a Mic, and a box of TMNT Macaroni and Cheese.

The TMNT2 Vanilla Ice would get the same  basic accessories as normal Vanilla Ice, except the Mac and Cheese box wouldn't be TMNT themed, nor the cap. 

Now both Icemen would get Version Specific Accessories. The TMNT2 Vanilla Ice would get assorted Music themed ninja weapons.

Like Microphone nunchucks, Tuning fork Jitte, Mic Stand Bo with Mic "whip" that plugs to an amp. (A Repaint of the wired mic and amp from the normal Vanilla Ice) a smaller vial of Ooze, a Box of Donuts and a Fire Extinguisher would be the TMNT2 SOTO specific items.

Normal Vanilla Ice would get the mic and amp I mentioned, a DJ Turntable... (the table is for another figure to be V-Ice's guest DJ) although Old Man Vanilla Ice has been seen messing around with tables more than his younger self.

I'm almost to the point of suggesting a Vanilla Ice Home Renovator figure, based on the Old Man Vanilla Ice with a bunch of tools... and the TMNT Mac and Cheese... of course he wouldn't get a Young Vanilla Ice head...

This started as a joke...
