Glad you mentioned it, but I was gonna say the new waves of Super7 have been lacking paint/washes. Great sculpts but fall flat on the details due to this. Also wonder if the Surfin Mike alt head fits the OG Mike body. Use it as an alt head for OG Mike as well (anything beats that original Alt Mike head)
Did the old waves used to be better? I don't remember which wave it was, but I saw some of the Super 7 figures and couldn't believe the price. I have April and the Mousers that I got on sale. They're fine for $25, $50 for any of the super7 figures I've seen is just crazy.
About Ace Duck's wings: I watched another review and he noticed flashing (tiny extra plastic bits / burrs) in the wing sockets. He gently cleaned them out with an exacto knife (just rotating it in the socket to remove the flashing) and then he heated up the joints (I assume with a hair dryer, he didn't say) and then the wings went in no problem.
I got that mikey as gift. Looks awesome and definitely has nostalgia vibes for me. I steered clear of super 7 as neca has alot of tmnt stuff that I get and didnt want to add another line. Although I will preorder that mezco set 😂
Great video Hatter. I'm super excited as receiving my Super7 Ultimate's Thundercat Lion-O & Panthro reissue wave 1 versions this week. I already have Tygra & Chatara with Slythe as well so gonna be great to have them all together.
Agree with everything you said! I definitely regret buying those mousers lol. The rat was the only good part haha. And I’ve been debating if i wanna cut open those weapons racks and paint up those weapons and have extra weapons with more paint apps.
I feel like Scratch is going to really appreciate some value over time. I know a lot of people who only grabbed that one since the original is damn near impossible to obtain
even though S7 have done a lot of playmates heads, they have done some very nice original sculpts. Full credit to the designers and sculptors who created the new head-sculpts because they actually feel like they could have been on a vintage figure
Is the reason for the lack of paint detail because they’re trying to stay true to the playmates 90s line and just ‘upgrading’ them rather than complete overhaul ? I’m still on the fence about the whole line tbh , I think I’d rather put the money into collecting the originals.
I get you on the “paint” desires but do you think that adding more highlights, wash, shading, etc. would steer these figs too far out of the Playmates Toy aesthetic? I do like that these give contrast to the NECA cartoon aesthetic.
I have a few Super 7 figures..tmnt and Thudercats....i wish they made the heads with removable jaws or mouth pieces. Seems they sure waste time in making 2-3 heads for a figure when its easier to have the mouth open and close
I love the Thundercats line but man that articulation kills me man. And they're lame excuse of choosing looks over articulation is a joke . Hope your well Rob
Hatter, the review was pretty Comprehensive for a short wave review. I like the scale, sculpt, and spirit of each character...though the mousers were lack luster. Scratch was the best overall. ✌️
The lack of paint for certain things is done for a purpose. It’s to invoke the original figures look. That’s kind of the whole point of the line is to give the look of the originals with updated articulation. While the articulation is a bit outdated for what we have in other lines. It’s on par with what super 7 does. The paint issues come off more as a nitpick as opposed to an actual major issue. Still though thanks for the review. It was very enjoyable.
Just fyi, the ninja stars for slash mount to his belt. Did not see you mention that. Also the sai’s fit in the damaged mousers. That is probably why they gave two for that.
They’re paint is Very light it seems on yours. Makes me want to paint it myself which I always say, if I have to fix-paint a figure I’ll probably pass lol. Great review btw love your videos hatter!!!
I don't know if you guys would agree with me on this. But I think diamond select could probably make a great Thundercats figures if they held the master license to making the action figures that is.
I held off on the mousers due to price, then found them on sale for $25 each so I grabbed two!! Luckily I like Ace Duck without his wings so I am good, but my wings also didn't want to stay in at all. I love Super 7 and collect mostly their stuff, but lately they have been off here and there. I am eagerly awaiting the GIJOE line but also super worried with so many human faces that the line will have. I am less worried about articulation as I mostly just put my figures into a reasonable pose and put them on the shelf, but I do expect them to at least look like the character in the render lol.
Maybe they should omit the weapons rack and paint more. I also thought the same with ace duck. Scratch should have also had a removable shackle like Mikey dose in this line.
Good honest review although I think that Super 7 only paints certain things because playmates didn’t do a lot of painting, it was mostly the plastic color, same with the accessories were only 1 color. At least that is what I think, although Super 7 no longer has permission to make playmates looking figures which is confusing because they just came out with wave 9. Slash is also the playmates variant with a purple belt and mustard color chest. I think u need some vintage playmates to compare these going forward to understand the paint.
I wanted to buy a Super 7 fig, but when I saw them in person, I realized how cheap and lazy they look for fifty dollars. Super 7 needs to step up their game. I get they want to go for that retro look, but Neca's paint jobs are far superior.
the Slash armor & weapons Colors are a direct homage to the One-&-Only Original 80's toy... which is over 90% the exact way it should be in this dedicated revamp. (altho his skin is a lot darker, and further dry-brushed to darken all the cracks & scales he has to offer in his wicked sculpt. however the darker skin also makes the bright armor/weapons colors pop out more than it did in the past) this entire Super7 Series is clearly all about recreating the original figures. and Slashes Color scheme hits retro hard. there literally is only one Slash toy 'from the retro past'.. aint counting no 2000's CGI-toon crap. oh, and put the shurikens on his belt pegs. no wonder those area's look 'empty', it doesnt need paint, it needs the dedicated shurikens... ;) I just unboxed mine today and im having a Slashing good time with how menacing he came out to be! and no one else can make Pink & Purple look so damn threatening! I have been awaiting the original toy getting a proper revitalization in all of its nostalgic color-scheme glory for far too long now and its finally here ! they could always end up releasing repaints as well. they are currently doing that already with Shred for example, and so it begins. and the only time Slashes sculpt was re-used, was for TOKKA.... POSSIBLE TOKKA SUPER7 ?!?! I THINK YES it would feature a different headsculpt and spiked shoulderpads ofc, along with black weapons. (although they would need a unique/new sculpt for Rahzar, cause he doesnt share a retro body like tokka & slash do.). Nice FUCKIN video! :D keep it up. FUCK.
Dude, 100% they have to earn your dollar. I get so sick of these "fans" that forget they are customers and that the company needs to earn your respect and money.
Seems like Ace Duck’s detailing budget went to Scratch! Also think Slash would benefit from a different alt head sculpt, his seems too similar to the original.
I got the mousers on sale, they seem alright. Generally not a fan of super 7. I find their stuff to be incredibly over priced for what it is. Any time you have an unpainted jacket without a wash, it comes out looking cheap.
That Slash is amazing. Resembles the one I had as a kid the most.

Good question , I’ll try it and report back. I also hate that other Mikey head
it does but not perfect. I dremeled out the surfin mike heads a bit and they fit fine.

If there is one figure that captures the essence of the 90’s Playmates TMNT line, it would be that Sewer Surfin’ Mike 🏄🦀😎🤙
Sewer Surfer Mike was a must for me! Those 90s colors really pop lol

Scratch is my first Super7 figure and I think that i'm just going to stick with Neca except for maybe Guerrilla Gorilla and the Flocked Splinter 🤷♂️
Congrats
Scratch is fantastic!
Slash and surfer Mikey were two of favorites growing up.
I try to avoid paying full price for Super7 TMNT Ultimates, but DAMN, I need that Sewer Surfin Mikey right now...
I personally love the mouser pack and I'll definitely buy a second one to army build them

if that's the case, they need to lower the price.

Great review 🙌🏻 I have bought SO many figures after watching your vids , Neca take note , Hatter should be on commission 🤪
I have a few Super 7 figures..tmnt and Thudercats....i wish they made the heads with removable jaws or mouth pieces. Seems they sure waste time in making 2-3 heads for a figure when its easier to have the mouth open and close
I love the Thundercats line but man that articulation kills me man. And they're lame excuse of choosing looks over articulation is a joke . Hope your well Rob
Anyone timestamp the cat sifting?
Hatter, the review was pretty Comprehensive for a short wave review. I like the scale, sculpt, and spirit of each character...though the mousers were lack luster. Scratch was the best overall. ✌️
For the price, all the figures should have paint and double joints. That slash would look incredible with some paint.
You were right on point with this video hope Super7 takes this one to heart because I to am a huge fan and I do want the lines to succeed.
Hola no sabes si van a sacar a Dr. El y Scaletail o Wyrm de TmNt 2012
From my understanding the extra sais are to replace the original Raph's because they were just plastic instead of painted.
The lack of paint for certain things is done for a purpose. It’s to invoke the original figures look. That’s kind of the whole point of the line is to give the look of the originals with updated articulation. While the articulation is a bit outdated for what we have in other lines.

Just fyi, the ninja stars for slash mount to his belt. Did not see you mention that. Also the sai’s fit in the damaged mousers. That is probably why they gave two for that.
these are great figures i have scratch. i might pick up ace duck the colour of the jacket iam on fence. great review mad hatter
They’re paint is Very light it seems on yours. Makes me want to paint it myself which I always say, if I have to fix-paint a figure I’ll probably pass lol. Great review btw love your videos hatter!!!
Man i wish super7 put this much love in to their thunder cats line👍
Dude I fucking hear that my friend. I've got almost the whole line but man that articulation kills me.
I don't know if you guys would agree with me on this. But I think diamond select could probably make a great Thundercats figures if they held the master license to making the action figures that is.
I'm gonna wait for prices to drop on these, since all the Super7 TMNT to date have eventually. But its gonna be hard to wait on that Slash...
Cool review! I just picked up the Archie comics Slash at my local walmart, he looks amazing. Ill prob get super 7 slash, he looks dope.
Posted 18 minutes ago and already watched all 34 minutes. Bravo man
thanks bud!
When Hatter says “Top 10” or “cat sifting”, take a drink! Hopefully we all survive 😂
Haahahhahahah

I'm very glad that I pre-ordered most of this wave... I like a lot Slash, Mikey and that penitentiary cat😀✌️
Happy to see that Archie slash looking so good. Was regretting that purchase, but now I can’t to have him in hand!! 🙏🏿🐢🙏🏿🐢
If all the magenta on Slash was brown, the figure would be perfect.
You got the wings on!
Maybe they should omit the weapons rack and paint more. I also thought the same with ace duck. Scratch should have also had a removable shackle like Mikey dose in this line.
It seems like they kept some mono color buts as a callback to the original toys.
Rawbeefs hasn't made a vid about sewer surfing but it sounds rad
definitely gonna try get Ace duck still have my original Ace
Good honest review although I think that Super 7 only paints certain things because playmates didn’t do a lot of painting, it was mostly the plastic color, same with the accessories were only 1 color.

If they're not going to paint them, then they need to drop the price. They're not close to $55+ figures as is.
Just reviewed Slash and Ace Duck on my channel. Good figs
I wanted to buy a Super 7 fig, but when I saw them in person, I realized how cheap and lazy they look for fifty dollars. Super 7 needs to step up their game. I get they want to go for that retro look, but Neca's paint jobs are far superior.
Slash is solid. My ace duck was great but replaced it cuae the one hand was loose. But I used hot water on the wings and they were great
I guess the Michael Bay TMNT are all Slash mutations.
Mikey comes with crabs, confirmed.
My fave is Neca Archie Slash for me
Dude I love mousers
C'mon Super7 give us a Hot Spot next

this entire Super7 Series is clearly all about recreating the original figures. and Slashes Color scheme hits retro hard.
there literally is only one Slash toy 'from the retro past'.. aint counting no 2000's CGI-toon crap.
oh, and put the shurikens on his belt pegs. no wonder those area's look 'empty', it doesnt need paint, it needs the dedicated shurikens... ;)
I just unboxed mine today and im having a Slashing good time with how menacing he came out to be!
and no one else can make Pink & Purple look so damn threatening!
I have been awaiting the original toy getting a proper revitalization in all of its nostalgic color-scheme glory for far too long now
and its finally here !
they could always end up releasing repaints as well. they are currently doing that already with Shred for example, and so it begins.
and the only time Slashes sculpt was re-used, was for TOKKA....
POSSIBLE TOKKA SUPER7 ?!?! I THINK YES
it would feature a different headsculpt and spiked shoulderpads ofc, along with black weapons.
(although they would need a unique/new sculpt for Rahzar, cause he doesnt share a retro body like tokka & slash do.).
Nice FUCKIN video! :D keep it up.
FUCK.
Guess I'm getting some new figures 😎
Super7 Slash is the best Villain Slash and the Neca Archie Slash is the best Anti-Hero/Good guy Slash, there problem solved 😎👍
Dude, 100% they have to earn your dollar. I get so sick of these "fans" that forget they are customers and that the company needs to earn your respect and money.
Just bought the Mikey on Amazon for $40, never again will I preorder Super 7 figures. Price drop is insane…
Seems like Ace Duck’s detailing budget went to Scratch! Also think Slash would benefit from a different alt head sculpt, his seems too similar to the original.
Your the most honest reviewer out there an I love that shit
I got the mousers on sale, they seem alright. Generally not a fan of super 7. I find their stuff to be incredibly over priced for what it is.
Any time you have an unpainted jacket without a wash, it comes out looking cheap.
I ave buy only scratch and slash 😁
Viva la turtles!!!!
I think Super 7 cut corners to save on money for the Action figures.
Wait a second... Video doesn't have glamour shots blur? Please smudge fingers on lens next time kthxbye
I bought the mousers and regret it lol oh well
hahaah, yeah
That ace duck is definitely NOT worth 55.
I returned mine. The others are good. I’ll wait till they drop to $30 on Amazon 😂
They look great, but it's gonna take big discounts in order for me to drop cash on them. Sorry Super7, inflations a b*tch!
i think the belt looks empty because the ninja stars should be pegged on there
good catch!
