Nice Review. I'm glad you pointed out that hip issue. I'm likely going to add a soft goods skirt or fur piece wrap below his belt to hide that odd look in that area.
If they do another booster pack, I really hope S7 considers including bigger trunks for Grune for better coverage on those hips. That's my biggest crit for this figure.
@Ali J i can feel you buddy, but in my opinion is more easy to change the Grune trunks for a bigger one to hide the hips area than to change the forearm with a new one with the elbow pad, cause now those figures are pinless!! Anyways Grune looks taller than we expected and thats a good move by Super7! He was taller and bigger than the rest of the Thundercats!
@Ali J awesome your point of view! I am totally agree with any statement u already write over here!! like i said before grune should be taller than the rest and now he is!! the armor and the painting looks awesome just some fans on IG are writing with hate on Grune and Tygra and thats wrong cuz at least FINALLY we are gonna have them soon on our hands to enjoy them and to display and like ur said there exists solutions for tygra elbow pad and for Grune i am going to look for a bigger trunk in WWE 7" inches scale to replace it like Toy Bro did it on his video review for the booster pack
Grune is probably my favorite non-core character from the show with Safari Joe being a very close second. I think he looks really solid overall minus the unsightly hips. My one other gripe is the color of his mace just being flat grey. I know they are going for a more cartoon accurate look, but it would have been great if they gave it a realistic steel wash similar to the extra axe they gave Slithe. Still very much looking forward to finally receiving this figure. Even after watching a few reviews and seeing so many loose pics, it is hard to believe that these figures are finally on their way. Pretty sure I pre-ordered Grune on Christmas morning 2019. Mix in a global pandemic in that 2+ year period since then and it feels like it's been a decade since these were first announced.
another awesome Tcat review ...Im into the core characters right now, price is not bad, considering we wont get another chance to see these figures in classic figure form..but got no space now for extra characters in every line..but this looks highly recommended
All the Thundercats would look so much more cartoon accurate if they only followed Grunes eye design. It has that Japanese anime feel that captures what the Thundercats had. Instead they have squinty narrow eyes, Tygra is a perfect example.
Not sure if it was the way you were handling him, but was yours incredibly loose at the hips? It kept looking like he was entering a limbo contest and was on his way to winning first place.
I like that super 7 is designing the figures different from one another I have wave 1 and wave 3. The glow in the dark Mumm-Ra waiting on wave 2 which is coming soon ..and prayfully Cheetarah wave 4 and 5 on preorder Mandora the evil chaser on preorder Im keeping up because this line once it's done..well
Yeah I have agree the hip area is throwing me all the way off. As man delays as they had with this particular figure you would think they would have addressed that.
Grune's torso is the most show accurate of all the figures, too bad those femur articulations are an eyesore. Wished they had made the same alt torso thing with Jaga to have the chain mail version.
Hey Hi Toy Bro~ I was wondering did you get these Directly from Super7 or did you get them from BBTS??? because honestly i haven't heard a peep from BBTS of even wave 4 and i saw all your reviews of Wave 4 and i'm getting so sick and tire of all this waiting!!!
@Thomas Phillips Super 7 sent out freebies to be reviewed but the rest of us are stuck in limbo waiting for these figures to be in hand! It's a real shame! And Cheetara which was suppose to get released in the Spring has been further delayed until the fall of this year! 🤔😮🤷🤦♂
Yeah, the first thing that threw me off was those hip joints. It doesnt blend well with the body shape and ends up looking very insectoid looking. I understand there is a balance between cartoon accuricy and allowing the figure to have good articulation but yeesh! not pleasing on the eyes sadly.
The LJN has way better paint and hips and that is 30 years ago...Super7 dropping the ball once again, almost makes me want todo cancel his pre-order. We are paying premium prices and Brian don't seem to realize
I’m sorry but I don’t get how you give this a pass. The articulation is limited, it’s different than the prototype, and it’s extremely late. While other figures that move so much better and look just as good on a shelf you said was crap.
You know what, I know your just reviewing the toys...but it's f'd up how you have these second wave and people ( like me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) Have been waiting for these thundercats ultimates! No disrespect to you but it's wrong how you have it and we don't. Iam really disappointed about the delay but how the hell you have them! And grune is the one I have been waiting for for 3 f'n yrs!!!!!!! Bro.
the toyranter well Super 7 has sent out freebies to be reviewed and sadly the rest of us are basically stuck in limbo waiting for these figures to be in our hands!!! And to top it off Cheetara which was set to be released in the Spring has been further delayed.... no surprise there until the Fall of this year!🤔😮🤷🤦♀
Plus the paint slop is inexcusable. Look at the weird wet splotches spots all over him. His upper left arm has a spot where the main finish isn't even applied and missing and them it looks fine on his lower left.forrm. he also has it on his cheeks. Like it's so unbelievably sloppy and gross looking. It has a bootleg look for sure. It's lazy. It's beyond lazy. And super 7 is ripping g people off with its insane prices for some serious sub par paint work. I mean shit McFarlane sucks but eve. His figures look better. And they are 20 bucks a pop.
These figures are cool yeah… but they definitely shouldn’t cost $50+ dollars single jointed arms and legs is a crime and no torso articulation… I don’t care that he says “it messes up the Aesthetic” it just makes them look lazy. It took them 2+ years to give us these figures… nah they could definitely do better
I kinda feel like those hips should have been a tiny bit further up and into the waist. Looks super weird how these came out in production...pretty dissapointing. Interesting figure otherwise. It's a shame tho, this one pretty prominent flaw very much ruins him for me.
we need to ask Brian Flynn or Josh (his right hand on Super7) for another booster pack to more extra weapons, extra heads for thundercats with the yellow eyes like Panthros and of course bigger trunks for Grune to get hide or covered the visible hips!! but asking them without bein rude or unpolite
Nice Review.

I always thought he looked more like a Walrus

Those hips are honestly pretty horrible sadly because I was waiting for him

Thank you

I have the extra Panthro underpants…I wonder if those would fit.
Not sure if it was the way you were handling him, but was yours incredibly loose at the hips? It kept looking like he was entering a limbo contest and was on his way to winning first place.
it's like there is a flexible loin cloth piece missing
Hopefully Super7 eventually gives us a replacement crotch cover, not a fan of Grune's banana hammock.
I like that super 7 is designing the figures different from one another I have wave 1 and wave 3.

The elongated torso looks so odd.
How did you get it so early?
It’s not available yet.
Great review but I do agree with you about those hips. They just don’t look right but over all I like the figure.
Does anyone know why super7 doesn't manufacture wilykat and wilykit?
He came out pretty sweet.
Super tempted to get a second copy to display in his TCats 2 fang look. Curious if we think a toy color version will eventually come.
nahhh a toy color LJN version? wont happen dude..
I've only received my Lion-O & Panthro. Everything else is MIA
Yeah I have agree the hip area is throwing me all the way off. As man delays as they had with this particular figure you would think they would have addressed that.

Good review. Cancelled my order.
Sadly doing the same with him and Pumyra

How does EVERY SINGLE FIGURE have problems with this series? Such a disappointment.
I might put some cloth behind the belt to sort of mimic a loincloth/skirt piece
I bought two and the legs were wayyyy too loose.
Why do you keep saying tall tall tall on this video
Yeah, the first thing that threw me off was those hip joints. It doesnt blend well with the body shape and ends up looking very insectoid looking. I understand there is a balance between cartoon accuricy and allowing the figure to have good articulation but yeesh! not pleasing on the eyes sadly.
Sigh. They did it again. The proto was perfect. Maybe should have bought the reaction now after all...
Those hips are terrible, Why did you mess up something that was already working? Come on Super7 you can do better than that.
The LJN has way better paint and hips and that is 30 years ago...Super7 dropping the ball once again, almost makes me want todo cancel his pre-order. We are paying premium prices and Brian don't seem to realize
Most of the stuff was done better in 1980s and 1990s. The original bandai power rangers stuff was better

@@SuperMarioBrosIII thanks so much for getting back to me..you continue to be a important and vital part of the toy collecting community 🙌 ❤
@@thetoyranter8409 You are very welcome the toyranter. God bless.😉🙏👊🙋
Looks like a mess, not only the hips are ugly, but also seems to be very loose... This is a 30 usd toy, not a premium price toy.
Plus the paint slop is inexcusable. Look at the weird wet splotches spots all over him. His upper left arm has a spot where the main finish isn't even applied and missing and them it looks fine on his lower left.forrm. he also has it on his cheeks. Like it's so unbelievably sloppy and gross looking. It has a bootleg look for sure. It's lazy. It's beyond lazy. And super 7 is ripping g people off with its insane prices for some serious sub par paint work. I mean shit McFarlane sucks but eve. His figures look better. And they are 20 bucks a pop.
Useless super7 strikes again with another epic failure.
