Great interview as always Egmond. Thank you for these interviews it is much appreciated and keeps the fans updated.
🙏🏻🙏🏻
Same here! Thanks for staying up late, my friend!
I wanted to ask Mr. Bryan a question when he plans to get a Tygra Super 7 V2 xk it has many flaws
Excellent interview man... I like that Brian Flynn is always eager to share about Super 7 lines...😀💡👍😊
Thank you Brian for the transparency of how things work and the future of the waves. thank you so much Edmond for the hard work you do keeping us informed. Great job both of you guys.
Always fun to talk to Brian! Trust me I wanna know everything just as much as you do. I just hear it first lol. Blame time zones 😉😂
He said the Skycutter! Hopefully we do get it!
He did indeed! It is the third time he’s mentioned it to me in an interview. So here’s hoping!!!
We've got to get it! And soon! The mutants are big time outgunned right now. That was my favorite LJN vehicle back in the day. I'm also very interested in the Nose-divers, particularly how they get Slithe to fit on it.
Hoping we get a new interview soon, another new line preview should be here soon I would think....
Indeed…. 😉
Awesome interview! I wonder if we could get the front of the miraj for Bluegrass instead of the whole vehicle at first???
That's funny 🤣!!! We'll just pretend the rest is invisible until we can afford it in a later wave.
I'm about 100% sure this will never happen, but it would be shockingly *AMAZING* to get a remade/updated version of Jackalman (instead of that Mattel reissue). It'd be nice for Panthro and Lion-O as well (no pins, vertically hinged wrists, etc.), but to get a pin-less, updated elbow/knee articulated, more slender Jackalman would be the cat's pajamas.
But...first and foremost, we *_desperately_* need a proper Tygra. If not with two new much better looking heads, we need it for the proper skin/fur colouring, and the right elbow pad to be present - but the aforementioned stuff is more crucial. Between all that, they can't remotely stand up straight or sit in the tank, the brown stained torso, paint cracking galore...we really should have one of the definitive characters done right in the current factory. As kinda lame as the character is, they still deserve a decent figure.
Great interview. I'm not sure I agree with Brian's fomo about the various waves as you can still buy most of them discounted on BBTS.
Thanks! He implied that the current availability is the “overproduced” stock, but everything after that will be way more limited. Best to get those preorders in now 😉
@@wewantmorethundercats thanks so much for clarifying
Agree! Why take the chance. Even on BBTS that missing Tygra will cost you $195 and you'll have the rest of wave 2 with it. eBay has him solo for $170.
Also I'm a big proponent of supporting the line. I'm not exactly a Captain Cracker fan and he's probably the worst figure in the series but I'll fill a pick up truck bed with him if it means getting to Claudus, Jagara, Dr. Dometome or some of the other non produced figures from the old LJN line.
Albeit I pre-ordered Copper Kidd and his Space vehicle however I hardly think it warrants $205. That's nearly the amount of a set of 4 figures normally from Super 7.
Agree! I'm thinking of ordering a second one which I don't usually do for the Hawks, just to help punch up demand but this one is pretty pricey. I'm not sure the "Spice" Racer is as good a value as the Electro-Charger either. Just not quite as sexy to me.
Still, I feel like we have to support the line. I don't want it discontinued before we get a shot at Hardware, Flashback, and Melodia.
I can't think of any other toymakers who spend so much time informing the fans about their stuff. This is super helpful and very much appreciated. Thanks to Brian for his willingness to discuss and thanks to Egmond for sharing with the rest of us! Thundercats has been my favorite Super 7 line...though I enjoy most of what they do. And, I ordered Copper Kidd as soon as he went up for preorder! Funny enough, I think he is my most anticipated Silverhawks character. I always preorder as soon as stuff goes up if it's something I can't miss out on. I know a lot of stuff has gone on sale later on, but I have to believe that will come to an end at some point. I don't pay aftermarket prices on anything, and I don't want to get left out in the cold.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Excellent interview as always. Hooooooooooooo!!! ✌🏾➕✊🏾
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Love hearing the bit about the style guides! super informative
You could see I was surprised too. Gives one even more appreciation and respect for them.
Sprint hawk!!!
Thanks for the interview. I love to Japanese soft vinyl and would love to see ThunderCats and SilverHawks in a 12-20 Dollar value.
Make Claudus and Jagara, I beg ya
Great video! I have to say that while I don't mind the slipcases going away, the mailer boxes really made a difference in protecting the packaging when it's sent from retailers, and also made it easy to store away, as I'm one of those collectors who opens most of them but keeps the boxes. It's too bad they packaging will be at greater risk of getting roughed up in transit now.
Hi Andrew! Not sure where you purchase from, but I’ve gotten the latest “unboxed” wave from both BBTS and EE and shipped internationally without any issues. Even my S7 gitd Cheetara without slipcover or box arrived in South Africa without any concerns. Hope that those you buy from use the same boxing but I’m very at ease with what BBTS, EE and S7 did!
One of my major frustrations with Super7 has actually been the amount of waste that comes from the packaging. So I'm very happy they're reducing that amount of stuff.
Great job, Egmon. There are no updates on Tiger sharks this goes around .
Thanks David Allen! Yeah I left that off the table for now because I doubt S7 will comment anything else presently except for repeating what they said last time. Still excited though that it’s coming!
I want to know when King Conan is going to ship literally zero news on this figure if you can find out that would be great
Not sure how to answer that, as I don’t focus on any other lines except TC, SH and soon TS. Best would be to contact customer service.
When will we see wave 8 Thundercats?
It is shipping late May alongside W9.
@@wewantmorethundercats thank you
@@wewantmorethundercats I thought it was April? Oh Well the waiting game continues. 🤔😞🙆🤷♂
There’s been another delay for W9 by a couple of weeks only from late May to mid June, but W8 stays strong at late May. Keep an eye in the S7 website for info on all preorder statuses.
TRULY OUTRAGEOUS
🤘🏻
My bet is on a Ghost Grune for SDCC. Great interview as well. Keep up the good work.
That’s a nice thought!!
It's going to be tough to top last year's SDCC! If it is a ghost Grune, then he needs to be fighting a new ghost Jaga and they need to be about 3 feet tall!
I'd like to see the Rat-Star or maybe castle Plun-dar but at this point really I'm good with whatever. Just don't stop. We want more Thundercats!!!
That was a great heads up question on the 40th anniversary that's coming up in 10 months and I don't think Brian had considered it yet. Doesn't it have to be a limited edition coronation Lion-O?!?! That shouldn't be too tough to pull off in under a year. There wouldn't be a lot of tooling: a crown, a cape, a multi-insignia belt and new packaging. If they wanted to go crazy they could throw in a sword effect. They might also do 40 year versions of all core cats figures with red eyes and glow in the dark insignias--just simple repaints. Die harders would line up to buy 2 of each (ask me how I know) and it would also give the sleepers and late comers a fresh shot at new versions of sold out early characters. (Come get your Tygra that you missed out on--oh, look he's got an elbow pad now). For Mumm-ra they could just do a 2 pack with pre and post transformation figures and minor repaints. Throw in a sarcophagus maybe. There are some low effort possibilities. Just look at what Mattel does with MOTU.
Oh man I love your ideas! Gimme gimme!!!!
Don't get me wrong, I'm still in it for new characters but if the man needs to do some repaints to make his money and beat out some deadlines I can deal with it. The main thing is "we want more Thundercats"!
Dead Last
Make Claudus and Jagara, I beg ya
Yes please!!!!
