Thundercats Roar Again: Super7’s 5.5-Inch Vintage Figures Revive the Classics

The latest Super7 Thundercats figures are here, and they’re like stepping back into the toy aisle of the 1980s. This new 5.5-inch wave taps into that nostalgia vein and is unapologetically retro. Each figure—Lion-O, Mumm-Ra the Ever-Living, and Jackalman—boasts vivid colours, bold sculpting, and accessories that scream “childhood Saturdays with cartoons.”
Let’s break down the highlights of these figures and why they’ve got collectors buzzing.
Lion-O: The Hero in All His Glory

The Super7 Thundercats Lion-O figure is a celebration of the iconic leader of the Thundercats. With his fiery orange mane, sky-blue costume, and heroic poseability, he’s ready to defend Thundera once again. What caught my eye first was the Sword of Omens, which is perfectly scaled and detailed, along with the Claw Shield that attaches snugly to his arm. Even the subtle facial expression, a mix of determination and charisma, feels true to the original character.
If you’re already smitten with Super7’s glowing-eyed Lion-O SDCC exclusive (read more about that here), you’ll appreciate how this figure strips it back to pure vintage charm, offering a simple yet stunning tribute to the 1980s classic.
Mumm-Ra the Ever-Living: Villainy Perfected

Mumm-Ra has never looked this sinister. The Super7 Thundercats Mumm-Ra figure captures the terrifying essence of the ancient sorcerer with his flowing bandages, bulging muscles, and an impressive headdress that’s every bit as dramatic as you remember.
The figure’s standout feature? Its size and build. It’s imposing next to Lion-O, just as it should be. The details on the armour and his glowing red eyes evoke a palpable sense of menace. If you’ve ever wished for an upgraded version of Mumm-Ra to add to your display shelf, this is the one to beat.
Jackalman: The Underdog Mutant

Rounding out the trio is Super7 Thundercats Jackalman, a character often overlooked in the franchise but given his due here. His jackal-like visage is perfectly captured, with expressive eyes and sharp fangs that reflect his cunning personality.
What’s surprising is the level of detail in his accessories. His spiked club looks intimidating, and his armour feels weathered, as though it’s seen many battles. Pair this with his robust articulation, and you’ve got a figure that’s both a fantastic display piece and great for dynamic posing.
MOTU-Inspired Design: A Retro Love Letter
One thing that stands out across all these vintage Thundercats figures is how heavily they draw inspiration from the Masters of the Universe (MOTU) toyline. The exaggerated physiques, bold colour schemes, and retro sculpting make them feel right at home next to your classic He-Man or Skeletor figures.
This isn’t the first time Super7 has embraced retro vibes. Their Pit Fighter Conan figure shows their dedication to reviving old-school designs for modern collectors. Like those figures, these Thundercats toys feel like they’ve leapt straight out of a 1980s cartoon, bringing nostalgia to life with modern craftsmanship.
Why These Figures Deserve a Spot in Your Collection
The appeal of this wave goes beyond nostalgia. Each figure blends simplicity with meticulous craftsmanship, making them feel like lost relics of a golden toy era.
Whether you’re building a Super7 collection or already own their glowing-eyed Lion-O or other retro-inspired toys, these new releases add an essential vintage touch to your Thundercats lineup.
