Finally Complete

I hinted that this day was coming soon a few weeks ago when I did my post about getting Wilykit. The final member of my Thundercats crew was arriving at BigBadToyStore imminently. In fact, it arrived about a day after I shipped the other one. If I'd known, I could have waited, had them shipped together, and saved a few bucks on shipping. Not to be, though. I suppose that these figures were so much more expensive than they should have been all along that they might as well have gouged me one last time on my way out the door, right?

So, Wilykat arrived and the Thundercats are complete!

I have to admit that other than the fact that I finally have the whole team, I'm not all that excited. Wilykit and Wilykat were my least favorite characters. I think they were supposed to be popular, because they are young, and kids should put themselves in their place, but I never did that. I always wanted to be Lion-O not any Thunderkitten.

It's a pretty nice figure, at least.

It also came with the air surfboard thing like Wilykit. I still can't use it, because I still have too little space on my shelf to display these two on their boards. Maybe if I change up the spot they occupy, but for now, nope.

It also comes with a ton of other stuff...many hands, an extra head, a lasso, etcetera.

I wonder if I'm the only adult collector who wishes that it came with less stuff. Of course, I only want it to come with less if it then costs less. These figures were too expensive. They marketed them as Ultimates. They're supposed to come with so much stuff that you just can't believe it. They mined the cartoons looking for accessories they could give the characters. I don't care, though. I would be happy with just the character and one weapon...and a much cheaper price.

They look pretty good all together on the shelf, though. It's exciting to finally, after years, have the whole crew.

The best part is that I don't have to pay another dime for another overpriced figure to complete the group. I've got them all and I can be done with Super7 Ultimates.
