ThunderCats ULTIMATES! Wave 12 by Super7: Breaking Down the Figures and That Super Pack

When Super7 drops a wave of ThunderCats ULTIMATES!, they don’t just create toys—they make mini-masterpieces that tug at the nostalgic heartstrings of every ThunderCats fan. Wave 12 isn’t just another release; it’s a testament to how deeply Super7 digs into the lore and how much they care about the details. This time, they’re bringing Safari Joe, Cruncher, and Nayda, alongside an impressive Super Pack that’s all about versatility and bonus features. Let’s dig in!

Safari Joe: The ThunderCats’ Arch-Hunter

Ah, Safari Joe, the galaxy’s self-proclaimed ultimate hunter with a knack for exploiting his prey’s weaknesses. This figure perfectly embodies his brash and intimidating nature, complete with his signature monocle, moustache, and that tech-packed multi-barrelled gatling rifle. The attention to detail here is stunning, from the sculpted armour to the intricate weaponry.

Super7 didn’t forget Mule, his loyal (and somewhat sarcastic) robot companion who helps him analyse the ThunderCats’ strengths and weaknesses. Mule is included as an accessory, which is great because their dynamic is a big part of what makes Safari Joe’s story so interesting. I love how Mule’s design reflects that retro-futuristic vibe that defined the show—Super7 really nailed it.

Safari Joe’s backstory makes him a fantastic addition to the line-up. If you don’t know, he’s one of the few villains who directly studies the ThunderCats’ powers and devises ways to counter them. That alone makes him iconic! The figure includes alternate hands, weapon accessories, and even facial expressions that scream “Hunter mode.”

Cruncher: The Berserker Brawn

Now onto Cruncher, who brings the raw strength of the Berserkers to life. If you’ve been waiting to add one of these Viking-like brutes to your ThunderCats shelf, this figure won’t disappoint.

Cruncher is a BEAST, with an imposing frame and his massive mace accessory that looks like it could take down a castle. His spiked armour and weathered, battle-worn details make him one of the grittiest figures in this wave. The figure features interchangeable hands and expressions, which let you pose him mid-battle or ready for action.

What I appreciate about this version of Cruncher is that it balances his menacing nature with a level of detail that feels fresh. The animated version of Cruncher often looked a bit goofy, but this figure elevates him to proper Berserker status.

Nayda: Warrior of Strength and Compassion

Rounding out the main figures is Nayda, the fearless leader of the Warrior Maidens. Finally, Super7 is giving some love to the female characters in the ThunderCats universe! Nayda’s figure is beautifully crafted, with sculpted armour and accessories that highlight her warrior background.

She comes with her iconic bow and quiver of arrows, a shield, and alternate heads and hands for dynamic posing. Her facial sculpt is fantastic, capturing her serious, determined look without veering into cartoonish territory.

One thing I admire about this release is how much Nayda brings diversity and representation to the line-up. She’s a fantastic figure for fans of the Warrior Maidens and an excellent addition to the broader ThunderCats roster.

The Super Pack: Extra Goodies for Customisation

The Super Pack in ThunderCats ULTIMATES! Wave 12 is all about enhancing the characters in this very wave. Rather than being a general accessory set, this pack adds alternate heads and gear specifically for Safari Joe, Cruncher, and even Mumm-Ra.

For Safari Joe, you get an alternate head with a different expression, adding versatility to how you display the character. Want him smug and confident, or ready for battle? The choice is yours.

Cruncher also gets an extra head sculpt, giving you the option to showcase more personality in this towering brute. Whether he’s mid-fight or showing off his grim determination, these additions make a huge difference in dynamic posing.

And let’s not forget Mumm-Ra! The Super Pack includes some additional pieces for him as well, likely aimed at making his existing figure even more impressive. These kinds of customisation options are a collector’s dream—whether you’re going for scene accuracy or just building out your display, this pack lets you get creative.

Why Wave 12 Stands Out

Super7’s ThunderCats ULTIMATES! Wave 12 is more than just a continuation of their series—it feels like a deep dive into the show’s rich lore. Safari Joe’s inclusion alone is worth celebrating, but pairing him with Mule and giving Cruncher and Nayda their well-deserved spotlight takes this wave to another level. The figures are perfect for fans who love screen-accurate designs but also want something fresh and modern for their shelves.

If you’ve been keeping up with Super7’s releases, this wave pairs beautifully with their MOTU x ThunderCats crossover line and their vintage ThunderCats figures. It’s all part of building a collection that represents the full scope of the ThunderCats universe.

ThunderCats ULTIMATES! Wave 12 by Super7

In short, this wave is a powerhouse. Whether you’re here for the Safari Joe ThunderCats dynamic with Mule, the raw strength of the Super7 ULTIMATES! Cruncher, or the graceful might of Nayda ThunderCats, Wave 12 has something for everyone. Add in the Super Pack, and you’ve got all the tools you need to create the ultimate ThunderCats display.

Which figure are you most excited about? For me, it’s a toss-up between Safari Joe and Nayda, but Cruncher’s brute force definitely makes a statement!
