People can easily jump in now and it’s cool that people can now get Mummra without having to buy a subscription (which was the only way to get him before). Already own these? No worries. Don’t buy them. Wait for the next wave to jump back in. This is just a level set.

Try and be happy that we’re getting another go at this line.

It's easy to say that IF there was greater confidence in this line lasting, but after so many failed starts with Thundercats in the modern toy industry, it's hard to have faith in getting much more beyond wave 1. I just dread 6 months from now Super 7 telling us "Well... we didn't quite hit the sales numbers were were hoping for with wave 1, so we're not going to do a 2nd wave." (because too many people who already own these figures passed on them without assurance that there would be something NEW coming too.). $180 is a lot to pay for 4 figures (whether you already own them or not) without any strong indication we'll get more after that.
