Super 7 Ultimates Thread

There isn’t really much left from Super7 that reuses those old Mattel sculpts, if any at all. Remember, the original Super7 Lion-O just reuses the Mattel sculpt. Some of the Thundercats use the articulation scheme, but many have moved on to different style joints like ball hinges instead of standard hinges. Most of what S7 is doing is all new sculpts, but still have limited range. That’s the area they don’t seem to care about improving.

Yeah, that's kind of what I mean, though. They're fixated on basically doing worse copies of what Mattel was doing. They're doing a whole new body, but in order to make it visually match up with the Mattel stuff, they just end up doing a worse version of Mattel's stuff, with worse ROM, and shittier plastic/shittier quality. They could do MOTUC-style bodies but find ways to increase the ROM, and generally make them better while still making them fit the old stuff stylistically. They just don't. They go backwards instead of forwards.

They're married to the -construction- of 15 year old toys is what I have a problem with, not them being married to the -style- of the figures.

To the surprise of no one, Amazon pushed back the second series of 2k3 TMNT.

My only exposure to Tigersharks is on here and the fwoosh and their brief cameo in the 2011 Thundercats series. Checked out the intro and no recollection. Might add it to the watch list.

I still need to catch up with silverhawks (wave 2, 3 and copper Kidd lol).

But if anyone is reading the dynamite comics SilverHawks and Thundercats are finally crossing over

I'm not reading it, but I'm curious about how they reconcile the lore.

Thundercats are explicitly on our Earth after the collapse of one or two civilizations. Meanwhile, Silverhawks actually travel to and from Detroit. Does the comic square that circle?

There's definitely some time travel involved. I don't read the series either, but I caught some shots online of the last pages of a TCats issue, where they meet Flashback the Silverhawk, saying he has travelled time to meet them or something.
