Figure of the year. I bought my Slithe as a kid as a R&B LOTR Orc, I never watched Thundercats. I have this figure pre-order, can't wait for it to arrive.
Thanks for the review and thanks for doing it when your house is a mess after a move. I am sure you had more pressing things to do. The figure looks awesome.
can't wait for mine to arrive. Slithe and Mum-ra mummy form is the only Thundercats figure I had as a kid so they have quite a nostalgia feeling for me :)
You're definitely the only reviewer I know of that has a deep love for ThunderCats. It's not just another figure. I kept waiting for the inevitable official cancellation of the line, but shit got real all of a sudden. So it really blows me away we're actually getting brand new figures.
I was the same. This is an awesome figure. I'm actually surprised that more people don't have this deep love for Thundercats because it's awesome. If an animation fan pays enough attention to it, I don't see how it couldn't be among their favourites. When I was a kid, it got my attention straight away. It's a show that has everything and it's aged a lot better than most retro cartoons.
@@Super1866
Oh yes. I'm an artist, so I'm very visual. ThunderCats did something for me He-Man and others didn't; not just visually, but story-wise. I'm not into anime, but I'll always say that the one I'm into is ThunderCats lol. And I just love anthropomorphic characters.
@@Chalor. Yes. Great character designs, great animation and great storylines. A perfect property for a toyline. We should have got these years ago. Not many translate better to action figure form than Thundercats characters. It was very creative in how it was put together and I believe it would have encouraged creativity among it's fanbase.
@@Super1866
Yeah, Bernard Loomis' term "toyetic" really comes to mind. Had to look that name up by the way, not like I remembered it. I always thought they were _way_ more visually interesting than MOTU...but He-Man just took off a lot more. I even bought those Bandai figures back in the day, hoping they'd continue (even though they weren't great). So the mega scale Mezco's have been my main display of 'em.
I really love the passion of that one instagram guy We Want More ThunderCats, I think their name is. Gotta get more attention on the property now that Super7 has actually released a new figure. Originally I thought they couldn't go that deep in the line, but there's way more characters than I remembered. Here's hoping once a few more releases come out, the orders will pick up and they'll put more priority on the series.
@@Chalor. Exactly. Well I've always maintained that the 80's Thundercats is a much better show than the 80's MOTU. Unfortunately, Thundercats only existed in that capacity. With MOTU, not only did it come before Thundercats but it was also more than just a tv show. As you may already know, it already existed as a toyline as well as in the form of books and comics. It was already popular before the tv show even aired so that makes it a much bigger and well-known franchise. Do I like it? Yes. Do I prefer it to Thundercats? Absolutely not. I actually saw Thundercats first because I was born in 1988 when Thundercats was still 'current' as opposed to MOTU which wasn't. I like MOTU as a franchise but I'm not crazy about the 80's tv show. Thundercats is still to this day one of my favourite tv shows. I agree that Thundercats is way more interesting but in more ways than one. I prefer it visually but I also prefer the Thundercats lore. The world of Thundercats, the history, stories and sub-plots impress me a lot more. I also got the Bandai stuff. I was very disappointed when they cancelled the line. I really liked the 8 inch versions of Lion-O but it was an odd scale and I'd rather have the figures done in the style we're getting now. I never got the Mezco ones. They looked good but just too big. I did get Funko Savage World and I have LJN stuff.
I concur with that but my concern at this moment is the issue with China. The shipping from there has slowed right down and Super7 are now having to pay a lot more for it. There has also been a lot of botch jobs at the factory which causes further delay. Super7 have actually had to send stuff back to be re-done and then will need to have the corrected versions shipped so I'm hoping that things will start to improve as time goes on because so far it's been a disaster. It goes to show that other companies like Bandai/Mattel could have made a Thundercats line work and kept it going because Super7 are still plodding on despite all the problems. The fans still seem to be on board with it so it ain't like people won't back it. There are plenty of people who've wanted a proper Thundercats toyline for years. The fanbase might be smaller than some of the biggest ones but it's still big enough to ensure a successful toyline. The demand for it is high and it's bound to be when it hasn't had much in the way of toys compared to a lot of other franchises. People want something new, not a re-hash of several other things they've already had on multiple occasions. The fact that in 2021 we still haven't had a Slithe figure done in this style just shows how overdue it is. Thundercats has been around for 36 years and yet acquiring this figure is a brand new experience for a toy collector. That's how deprived Thundercats fans who collect action figures have been. It's also a testament to how unique the character designs are because this is a brand new sculpt for any figure in this scale with this amount of articulation. Toy collectors have been waiting longer for this than anything else I can think of. I like the LJN stuff but it's needed an upgrade for a while. Looking at the action figures we've been getting for the last 20 years, I knew that Thundercats would look awesome in the style of some of the more modern figures we've had since the 80's and 90's.
This figure is absolutely bonkers. You don't even have to be a Thundercats fan (I'm not) to be blown away by it. Just incredible.
I'm not a huge Thundercats fan but you better believe I pre-ordered this guy
Glad you had the strength to get this video out. Didn't expect it so quickly. Rest and get well, Yessssss?
The video I was waiting for!
Thanks for taking the time and the strength to do this for us.
Get well soon
I like your shelving space for your action figures, most of mine are still in there original packaging and mailing boxes as I've run out of room LOL!😉🙃
Glad these are finally making it to people! I definitely need to pick up this wave!
I know you've had a hard time of it recently, so I'm glad you at least have this as a small comfort, Toy Bro.
Slithe is definitely one of the best figures SUPER 7 has done. The Quality on this one gives me real hope for the future. Keep it up SUPER 7, your heading in the right direction...
I'd say, while the other figures are more "humanoid", Slythe is more "anthropomorphic". Either way, I like how "cartoon accurate" Slythe looks, especially when compared to his vintage counterpart. The two axes were a nice touch, with one being "cartoon accurate", & the other being vintage "toy inspired".
I agree. I'd also like to add (if I may be so bold), that besides being a "reptilian character", they have a little bit of "fish" in them. Yeah, most don't know the knotted handled "vintage LJN axe" axe is infact inspired by the "vintage LJN axe." I am wondering which "weapon" Slithe "used" the most...the "cartoon axe" or "the mace."
@@Chalor. Fish? Hmmm...I was thinking maybe amphibian, but Mudpuppies & Mudskippers are classified as "amphibious fish".
As a kid, I recall Slythe wielding his mace more. It'd make more sense for "cartoon censorship", because it'd be difficult for him to attack foes w/ his axe w/o seriously harming, or even killing them (especially since he's evil).
@@MoCa1979Jr
Yes lol, I *much* prefer you referring to them as an amphibian type dude over what I said. I don't wanna think of them as a Merman or Creature from the Black Lagoon...or how a lot of ppl are referring to them as a goblin from the Hobbit.
That's awesome you spelt their name with a y. I used to be really confused on how to spell it, cause I'd see it done 3 different ways. And thank you so much for answering the weapon thing. I was thinkin' it was probably the mace, but now I know...and knowing is half the battle.
@@Chalor. Oh ok. N/p & you're welcome.
I think Slythe & his race should be referred to as "amphibious reptiles". But I believe they're race is called "reptiles" or whatever by the other races of Thundar. They look far more like reptiles than fish, so I doubt anyone would be calling Slythe's race "Mermen" or "Creatures from the Black Lagoon". If anything, they're somewhat like Iguanas (which are more marine than most reptiles, outside of maybe gators & crocs).
I just remember Slythe wielding a mace in the cartoon (as a kid), & only remember his toy having an axe. I'm guessing his toy had an axe, because Monkian (aka Monkey Man as I used to call him as a kid) had a flailed mace, which is similar to a spiked mace, expect it's "ball" is attached to its "grip"/handle, by a chain. So they were probably trying to diversity the mutants weapons, like they did w/ the ThunderCats. Which makes perfect sense.
slithe is the most rankin bassiest looking rankin bass character in the history of rankin bass.
Great review! Keep them coming
Good to see you back man, hang in there big dawg!
I still have my original Slithe as well. I ordered this one as it was a great representation of the cartoon and would go well with my original one. Thanks for the review. Mine is still sitting in my "pile of loot", so hopefully I'll have it in a month or so when I get around to shipping it.
Still the best thunder cats figure super 7 has done. The figure looks like the product display pics. His paint job is solid. No slop, qc seems good. This is the quality I expect from super 7. I think some stuff could use a Matt finish but at least there's no weird wet spots. He looks slimey all over. It works and it's strange how well this one came out considering their other figures have some terrible paint issues
I have to agree. However Mumm-ra and Mu-mutt are well crafted as well. Pumy-ra is disappointing no matter if you picked up the Matty Collector’s version or the Super7 one.
Vulture man is just way too tall. I hope that is fixed.
Seeing this just reaffirms how much I want Super 7 to do a Rankin & Bass Hobbit line... I mean, it's gotta happen, right? They absolutely nail that style, and it looks so good!
From your fingers to God's eyes... 🙏
Slithe, Wind Hammer, & Hardware were certainly reminiscent of those goblins. If your hip; Its a shame 'Flight of Dragons' is so obscure., I'd love the Ogre or the red wizard.
What a great figure! So glad I decided to go all in with Thundercats. There are some really great toy lines out there I had to say no to but figures like this make me glad I am sticking with this line. This is a stand out figure like Ram Man was with Masters of the Universe Classics. Well done on the review and thanks!
Great Review, solid points made.
Love your collections sir!
Great review, love this figure, nearly flawless.
Good stuff, can’t wait for mine to ship. I hope you’re feeling better, dude.
Ive been waiting for this review!!!
I have this figure and is VERY impressive the size of it and it's really cartoon accurate!
He's a phenomenal looking baddie...🤘🏼💯✔️
Mine is on its way, looks cool , good review mate.
Excellent review as always! Man I'm trying to be patient and wait for Jaga to hit my pile of loot before I pull the trigger, but all these amazing reviews by my favorite RUclipsrs are making it very difficult to hold out! I'm gonna try to be strong though and wait lol
Awesome review. Feel better ToyBro.
Its a great figure of slithe highly detailed super 7 knocked it out of the park. great review toy bro.
Excellent work from The Four Horsemen! The sculpting looks cartoon-acurate, while only adding subtle details to make him more realistic w/o going overboard. For instance, adding scales & a leather-like texture to his straps over his torso.
Would've loved to see him come w/a rifle. But you can't have everything, I suppose.
Can't wait to get mine!
You're the best Bro. Been waiting for your review even tho I have this guy in hand. Hope you are feeling better.
You and review spot are my favorite toy reviewers just your enthusiasm for figures is awesome and that is what collecting is about enjoying the characters we love ! When you finish unpacking could you do a collection video turtles and thundercats and Spiderman are my favorites things to collect!
This is a character I was really looking forward to. He was one of the best figures in the LJN line. He was also the first mutant I got and it made me want the other two main mutants. This guy builds the anticipation for Monkian even more because when he comes, we'll have that original trio of mutants.
Can’t wait to get mine!!
Se ve fantástico bro
Awesome looking figure!!!!
you can't find it anywhere I'm afraid.. Jaw dropping figure !
I'm just waiting on Jaga to come into stock on BBTS and then they will send me the 3 characters from Wave 3. Slithe will definitely be the stand out for this wave, though Cheetara may take it away once they get her issues fixed and she come out.
It's interesting that when me and my friends were kids, we didn't care too much for lady figs. I mean there was the exception like a Teela or April, but they certainly weren't popular. For me, Cheetara's value comes from being one of the main ThunderCats. So yeah, just an interesting observation with the adult collectors being much more into the female figures than kids. That being said, I'm certainly glad they're prolonging the delay that much more to get it more accurate.
@@Chalor. I just recently scored the original LJN Cheetara with Wilykit in original packaging new and sealed for under $300!🤗✌🙏👍
This figure is absolutely MAGNIFICENT. My only wish i that the tail was on a balljoint (but then maybe it wouldn't have functioned as well as a third leg). But man, they absolutely nailed this one. The waist joint gives him a surprising amount of expressiveness.
I can't wait to get these figures by mail from the BigBadToyStore... I wonder who's coming on the next wave...😀
This is the hunch I wanted for beastman.
This figure is more (Danny Devito) look!😀 Slithe is a very intelligent mutant.🤨(B+)
Awesome character to start with
I remember Brian Flynn saying they'd show off wave 5 when new figures come out. Let's see 'em! I can imagine they probably have 12 prototypes that have been sittin' on a shelf over a year. Sucks that Brian isn't a fan of Snarf, so man lol, it'll probably be 2027 until we get them.
@Chalor and the Thunder Kittens? Albeit Matty Collector released them in 2016!🤔
Feel like he will go well with cosmic legions too!
I hope the move goes quick for you because I move alot of time and I know how it feels
Super7 nailed the look as usual but they missed an opportunity to release a crazy good action figure here, maybe the best so far.
The tail articulation is very limited, that torso design was begging for a cut bellow the chest, a bit more range going up on the arms shouldn't have been that hard to achieve, the arms would have benefited a lot from a bicep swivel and Super7 could have gone the extra mile by adding butterfly joints to the shoulders (even if they only moved back like the ML Hulk ones).
They could have done all this without damaging the sculpt, they would've maybe spent a bit more and therefor earned a bit less but with the price they're charging I expect them to have some margin for that and still make good money. Maybe I'm wrong about that last bit but still it hurts knowing this action figure could've been so much better so easily.
P.S. I can even fathom some articulation on the neck that alongside all the other improvements I suggested would've made this figure the best and a very hard to beat best.
Excellent looking sculpt but I needs my articulation.
I know the whole deal with switching factories (listened to all of Brian's interviews), but I still don't know why ThunderCats got the short end of the stick. As in all of those Turtles figures have come out, but it's taken _this long_ for *one* ThunderCats figure.
It's like their objective was to put this cursed franchise once again on the back burner to get out as many Ninja Turtles figures as possible. You know, cause they're capitalizing on NECA's stuff being so popular. And part of it seems like the Chinese _really_ hate ThunderCats lol.
My guess (and I'm just guessing here) --- Turtles got priority. I think it's the much bigger draw so ThunderCats had to fall to the back.
@@chrisl.9942
Yeah, definitely. Should be a first come first serve situation, but they're absolutely capitalizing at the expense. I mean I love Turtles even more, but I'm 99% focused on the cartoon line. I know a lot of collectors prefer the Playmates style, but it's all about cartoon accuracy for me. And even though they're not as durable, the NECA stuff looks much more premium. Chrome Dome's a goddamn masterpiece of visual trickery with the line work.
For the ones buying the sets and selling for 100+ each.......you blow.
Not the most popular character out of ThunderCats but he turned out great!
Can't wait to get mine (in my pile of loot) but maaan I wish they had given him bicep swivels smh. They are getting kinda lazy with that on the bigger guys like him.
He’s one of my favorites TCat characters. Definitely has more Rankin Bass LOTR look than any other. Great looking figure
Why do the TMNT characters get their own specific logo on the packaging but all the bad guys for Thundercats get the same Mumm-Ra packaging? The Reptilians had a logo on the show, as did the Monkians and Jackalmen.
Great review! This figure is incredible! Definitely the best Slithe ever made. True ThunderCats fans are going to be so happy!!
The LJN figure and this both have inacuraccies in terms of colour.
Toy bro do not call weapons a guy in this video for slithe
That radioactive belt is disappointing.
I saw that Mumm-ra..Tygra and Cheetara got pushed to 2022??? You gotta be kidding me already. I preordered them 6 months ago! This company is slowwww!
6 months?! Try waiting 2 years like the rest of us have!!
@@Criv016 i quit this line!
It's worse than that because now the shipping costs from China have gone up massively while the shipping speed has gone right down. It's an absolute disgrace. They can blame the pandemic all they want but it smells like bullshit. Laziness and greed are the more likely culprits, two of the oldest reasons in the world with the added bonus of an extra excuse. Far too convenient. Ultimately, everything is about money and that is why I have my doubts about the lifespan of this line. I think we will get more but probably not a lot more because how can it be cost-effective for Super7 if China are now bleeding them dry on shipping? Not to mention all the mistakes having to be remedied on several figures. That's going to cost extra too. A lot of companies are going to suffer under this new regime.
@@Super1866 ..they sure are fast though with the Tmnt line. Mmm
@@robd1329 So far. They're faster than with Thundercats but I wouldn't say they're that fast. They could get slower if the shipping speed carries on the way it's going. As far as I know, the TMNT figures haven't been botched yet.
Love your reviews but the amount of times you said “different” is definitely a drinking game!
