I don't collect thundercats but i may have to get this!

Mandora is awesome but personally I think there's no way in hell the price on that vehicle seems justifiable.

Yeah... it seems like just a piece of plastic. No electronics, no gimmicks, minimal articulation (if any) and some regular accessories/swappable parts. From engineering point of view, it shouldn't cost that much, and even from material cost point of view, it's just a plastic shell right?

That price point is way out of line.

This has got to stop.

That vehicle just screams "let's see how much we can charge for a hunk of plastic and people actually purchase it".

And I thought $45 for mon-star's throne was pushing it.

"Alternate hair neutral head"
Why not just make the pony tail of the neutral head swivel?

I don't wanna be "that guy"... but why not deliver on a wave or two of your figures before taking preorders for a FIFTH wave AND another expensive vehicle??

She was originally supposed to be part of wave 5 that went up for preorder last year. But she got held up due to internal stuff with WB. So this is kind of unfinished business for them.

She kinda reminds me of Sango from innuyasha

I think they're referring more to the fact that S7 has announced like 10 waves of Ultimates in the last six month when stuff shown in 2020 still hasn't shipped yet.

I'm not disagreeing that they have a glut of unfulfilled preorders. I'm just saying, in this instance, there's somewhat of a valid reason for them doing another preorder. Imo, with wave 4 set to arrive any day now, I think they should've at least waited until wave 4 hits before opening another preorder. But whatever super7 is gonna super7.

LOL at the price of this set.

I just tripped over my jaw. Then I saw the price, yikes! Should have started with the skycutter.

Wow, pricey. Very cool...but expensive

BINGO!!!....."All of the Above"...
Still...
Very, Very Cool...

Remember....
You Can't take it with ya....
That's...The Money or The Toy ;^)

Sign me up.... I'm in ;^)

While I agree that the Electctro Charger seems a bit pricey, I'm OK with it- it's a never-made vehicle for a supporting character. It's not going to be ordered in massive quantities, and I think Super7 knows this. How many of these are going to be made - 2,000? This is a "covering their butts" price, with making the molds, production, shipping, etc.. I'm OK paying this for such a niche item that wouldn't exist otherwise.

Was originally going to buy Mandora, but now knowing there is a bike (which there is no way in hell I will purchase for that price) I get this sense of incompleteness if I just buy her.
So will not purchase either. I don't reward greed.

I just can't call this greed. This is not some big character that's going to sell gangbusters. This is a B-level show and a C-level character.

May end up canceling it (plenty of time before this goes live) but went ahead and ordered it- she's a fun character to have thrown into the T-Cat mix

So is Super7 a major toy manufacturer or a small kickstarter?

If they can't afford to make items without charging a ton because they won't sell that well...maybe don't purchase the license? Or don't make such massively deep cut characters that you have to overcharge because almost nobody will purchase it?

That's like me buying a car but not being able to afford gas or insurance unless the government kicks it in for me. Then I probably shouldn't buy the car at all.

We need to stop treating Super7 like they are some tiny kickstarter. If they want to be that, then start doing this shit as Haslab-style things.

Aye I don't think the price is too bad on the vehicle in relation to the cost of the figures but in general all that Super 7 stuff is expensive. My mate is the biggest Thundercats 80s fan I know and all he's got is the Super 7 Lion-O because he's pretty poor and can't be affording £50 per figure of a cartoon where he likes a ton of the characters and stuff. That's one reason he collects MotU Revelations because he's getting good figures and able to build up a nice collection of heroes and villains and have some fun collecting and playing with them without breaking the bank. And I know this one is a character he'd love to have if he could afford thundercats. He made a custom one of her years ago for his original vintage Cats.

Also is that just a render or something? I thought all the Thundercats figures have visible pin joints as they're based on the aging MotU Classics bucks and I don't see that on space cop lady here.

Super7 is in the middle. They're not kickstarting stuff but they obviously aren't very big at all.

I think you're missing the point of this wouldn't exist otherwise. Nobody cares about this character, I literally have zero recollection of her and I've read others say the same. That's the price basically for them not to lose money on making the figure; and they think this figure at this price is better than no figure at all.

I'm fine with paying for stuff I'd never not normally get.

The Mirror Lion-O is pinless, they don't really rely 100% on that old style for the basis of their figures anymore. Most Ultimates don't go off of that now.

You didn't read my comment saying I pretty much care for this character and my mate even made a custom vintage figure of her. So it's clearly not 'nobody'. lol She's in 8 episodes of the original show so not even a one and done. Just wish we could afford this stuff lol
