Strange oversight that they didn't design the shield handle to actually fit over his hand. I had to heat up then squish the hand to get it to just about hold the shield. The handle loop needed to be bigger or one hand needed to be sculpted in a way to fit in the shield loop.
So far I have Mumm Ra the Ancient, Liono, Jackalman and Panthro. I've just ordered Monkian and Im super excited for it to come in. Monkian was always my favorite bad guy, I love his design and the voice actor really sold it (as did all the other voice actors) . I would love to see the Thunder Cats reboot figures in the same class as these figures ( if not a little more accurate to the show would be nice) I love the original but the reboot was good too. This was a great review.
Almost perfect. The reviewer didn't show how hard it is to get Monkian to hold the shield as the loop/handle of the shield is too small to fit the hand in without heating and squishing the fingers.
Excellent review!! Super figure! I hope Super 7 will re-release Lion-o with pinless joints. Monkeyion looks high quality, I agree, and very clean and seamless. Can't wait to receive mine 👏👏👏
Vultureman is my favorite one. He's basically Skektek. I really wish S7 kept the matte prototype finish. I'm starting to doubt collecting more of their lines.
I only got into the Super7 ThunderCats line last year, with the first wave. I'm happy I'll have the main trio of mutants complete, and after that I'll be a bit more selective. I've got some army builders I think will fit into the line well. Now if only they released Cheetara and Tygra...
What's the story with Wily Kit & Kat? you have them briefly displayed yet I don't recall you making mention of them. Were they released and I missed it or something?
I have a simple fix for posing Monkian’s mourning-star mace’s free hanging chain! Take an average twist-tie, remove the paper from the wire and thread it through a few links of chain. Voila! You can now pose the chain! (Stripping the plastic from the wire-ties used in many figures like transformers will give a slightly thicker, stronger wire, but it will be more visible). If you don’t want the mace head to hang, start by looping the the end of the wire through the plastic where the chain connects, then thread (or wrap, your call) the wire through or around the chain. Same can obviously be done for the handle. That said, I love the 4-Horsemen’s sculpts and wish you’d have given them more credit instead of giving even one word of credit to Super7 for the design (slip of the tongue). I absolutely, utterly and completely loathe Super7 and how they run their business. They’ll gladly take people’s money with a no cancel preorder policy, then make fans that paid in full wait 8-12, even 18+ months before actually shipping products that arrive damaged (not just the packaging, which alone can easily cut the collector value in *half*. They do not care about their customers and hide behind one word repeatedly: “Estimated”. But when “estimated” becomes a full year (anything beyond 1 month is unacceptable), they issue NO real apology, refuse cancellation requests and keep your money. They’ve done this LONG YEARS before Covid or supply chain issues were even a problem. They’ll never see a penny from me no matter what they offer. That’s just to warn potential buyers: expect months or years of delays. That’s simply the facts of supporting these weak Hot-Topic wannabe’s and Lyin’ Brian Flynn.
Any chance you might get tygra early? I have him on preorder but really nervous of how he might turn out.. really need to see a finished product before spending the cash on him.
I can't help but feel super7 starts to skimp on paint as lines progress with time, almost like they're baiting customers in with the opening waves and then start skimping on costs once they've locked people in. something I've noticed on some other ultimate lines - particularly tmnt. I'm glad this one feels better but there's no denying a lack of paint.
You could have mentioned that the shield handle is to small to fit in his hand properly... And that's a big problem I think and nobody speak about it... Is that really your prefered accessory?
The figure looks really good but in The cartoons he wasn't so big like that , I think he was almost smaller than Lion-o but he stills fit with the Mattel ones at the other hand Vultureman looks out of scale.
I don't get all the praise this one got. The snout is too wide, the torso too narrow, the chest should be hairless, the beard shape is wrong and the flail should have a knotted segment attached to the chain.
Awesome review for a really solid figure. Super 7 is making my favorite stuff and I am happy with almost all of their design choices. I really hate how double jointed elbows and knees look on modern figures, it's unsightly even in the hands of excellent toy photographers, so yes these figures look so much cleaner without it. Thanks!
I think they work on slim figures like Marvel Legends but for bulky MOTU/Thundercats type figures, double joints look awful like on old toybiz Marvel Legends where the double joint was so big and totally ruined the proportions.

"Those blasted mutants".

You got him early you are so lucky Toy Bro! The rest of us have to wait lord knows how long another 2 or 3 months or even years? Heavy Sigh!🙂🙃🤔👍
Monkian is my favorite Thundercats character and this figure looks perfect. It feels like it's been on pre-order forever.
No it doesn't.
Almost perfect. The reviewer didn't show how hard it is to get Monkian to hold the shield as the loop/handle of the shield is too small to fit the hand in without heating and squishing the fingers.
Wow. He looks amazing. Bring on Mongor in the next wave!

That matte proto always looks so much better agreed
Won't happen ...and without matte they look beyond awesome
No he isn't. And with the prototype being way off in size and having missing toes, the shiny finish is what bothers you?
Oh yeah, that looks fantastic. It's good to see the line really picking up after all the hiccups, can't wait to get this one in from bbts.

Now if only they released Cheetara and Tygra...
What are you using for army builders?
@@MikeJones-ye1bi I'm planning on using the Storm Collectibles Dead Frames as an undead army for the ThunderCats to fight
@@Fuzzy_Barbarian ohh ok thank you
Wow, Monkian look so good... Good thing that I pre-ordered months ago at the BigBadToyStore the same way as the other Thundercats figures...😀✌️
I have him on pre order. Besides Mumm-Ra The Ever Living, Monkian was my favorite villain on the show!
This figure is awesome, waiting on Cheetara to complete core teams, later cats and mutants will be icing on the cake
How did we get this before Mummra
as a kid I always wanted his shield weapon but we just got that mace. I will have to get him, I want all the super 7 figures
Wow their out?? Took 2yrs in the making
Not really.pre orders went up Sept. 2020
I’m on my way to get em let go !! Nice information
I ordered a few of him, some to do customs!
What's the story with Wily Kit & Kat? you have them briefly displayed yet I don't recall you making mention of them. Were they released and I missed it or something?
Still waiting for Tygra and Mumm-Ra.
Stunning again.
My 3 hopefuls for the line include Quick Pick Plutar & Mandora
You can get wire from Walmart in the jewelry section and weave in and out of the chain to make it bendy. I did it for a spawn chain I made.
when I see the mutants together I hear the song "The Boys Are Back in Town" 😎
just received mine and love it!
What 🔥 piece!
Iam still waiting to get monkian here over seas. ive heard nothing yet from super 7. i pre ordered him direct from super 7.
Im going to legion build him for my mythic legions collection 🤘🤘
What effect pieces did you use combined with shield?
Does anyone manage to put the shield to his hand...??
“Monkey crotch” lol
Great review than you very much sir

Any idea or speculation that they are gonna do a toy color version . I want all the figs but I want toy color version
They've sort of hinted at the possibility, but I'm not expecting it anytime soon until they can nail down getting these out more steadily.
I don’t know anything about this guy but I want this figure!!
Looks awesome! The villians seem to be more appealing than the heroes as far as these figures go.
In your opinion.
@@hulksmash8159 duh obviously

He turned out shitty

Which figures are you referring to?
Yeah I just noticed they stopped shading on the body
I prefer the unshaded plastic. Looks more like an animation cel.
You could have mentioned that the shield handle is to small to fit in his hand properly... And that's a big problem I think and nobody speak about it... Is that really your prefered accessory?
It will be great to complete the core mutants! Monkian looks fantastic! Would love Lion-O with vertical grip.
I noticed lion-o ver 2 at bbts. Hopefully they upgraded the wrist.
@@wasabi-in-my-eye3134 🤞🏾🙏🏾
I love your super 7 reviews man got me into the line. My wallet hates it but I love it lol
The villains in this line are way better than the heroes on looks
Didn't they release Cheetara yet?
@joe martin Spring of 2022!😉🙏🙏
Love it!
me encanta el diseño y sus armas, no me convence el brillo en el plastico, pero igual me gusta.
The figure looks really good but in The cartoons he wasn't so big like that , I think he was almost smaller than Lion-o but he stills fit with the Mattel ones at the other hand Vultureman looks out of scale.
I think he was mostly around this size but in some episodes looked smaller. It was basically inconsistent animation.
🤎🙉monkian 🙉🤎 hell yes
If they drop the ball with Cheetara after a 3 year wait I'll never by s7 again
They did
The sculpts r great but Super 7 is way too.pricey
For me, Mythic legions >>>>> Super 7.
I don't get all the praise this one got. The snout is too wide, the torso too narrow, the chest should be hairless, the beard shape is wrong and the flail should have a knotted segment attached to the chain.
The villains in this line are better than the heroes cuz thy have more unique, new sculpts. So sick of the old MOTUC bucks.

Ultimates are already to close to mythic legions. I don't want that crap.
