Pumyra and the Warrior Maidens as well.Remarkably, in several episodes she gets to save the day, on her own, when all the rest of the team has been defeated. Achilles' Heel: Mumm-Ra's reflection instantly defeats him.BBTS has him as part of a set with Lion-O.Sword of Omens, grant me tropes beyond tropes!.It’s certainly a fun figure, especially if you’re already a Thundercats fan, but overall this figure could have been better. As amazing as it is to have these Classic figures, and as great as it is to see Mumm-Ra in action figure form again, I do think he deserved better.īandai America isn’t used to making collector-oriented toy lines, but it’s a decent attempt. If you’re a Thundercats fan, and you already have Lion-O then you’ll want Mumm-Ra to go with the collection, but on its own merits the figure seems lacking. The lack of paint detail and the lack of torso articulation really hurt the figure. To be honest, I was hoping he’d turn out better. I don’t know if they’re meant to look like this or not, but I’m going to assume they’re not.
I’ve got a few of this figure, and have checked several others in stores and they’re all the same. Quality Control: The spikes on his wrist gauntlets were both warped rather noticeably. The bandages are very cool, and look fantastic for some dramatic poses, though I can’t help but wonder if wire bendy bandages would have been better.Ī Ma-Mutt accessory would have been very nice as well. The hands are a cool addition, but I’m not sure what you would make him hold, unless you pretended that he finally took the Sword of Omens from Lion-O. No slouching for Mumm-Ra.Īccessories: Mumm-Ra comes with an alternate pair of hands, meant for holding objects that he didn’t even come with, and some pre-posed bandages that you plug into his back. You can either arch his back, or have him stand straight up. He has a good range for that, but he doesn’t really go forward at all. That’s a pretty standard joint to give an action figure these days, and Mumm-Ra could benefit from it.Īlso, what sort of “ab crunch” he does have from the ball jointed torso only really works for arching his back. You can get some really good poses out of him, though the entire torso is a disappointment.
They should be painted as such.Īrticulation: Mumm-Ra has a ball jointed neck (which only really works as a cut joint), ball jointed shoulders, bicep swivels, single elbows, ball jointed wrists, a ball jointed torso (the entire torso is on a ball jointed which allows for back and forth rocking, as well as side-to-side swivel), ball jointed hips, thigh swivels, single knees, shin swivels at the top of the greaves, and back and forth ankle joints as well as ankle rockers. Not only that, but the furry parts at the bottom of his greaves shouldn’t be gold. He’s supposed to be a mummy that’s thousands of years old. I do wish there was more detailing though. Plastic & Paint: Almost all of Mumm-Ra is cast in the appropriate colors, so there’s only minor paint detailing, but the paint there is on the figure is really clean. Not very acceptable on a supposed collector-oriented toy line, but it should make the customizers happy since it makes it incredibly easy to take him apart. He has visible screws holding him together. My only real complaint about the design of the figure is the same one with Lion-O. He also seems appropriately sized when compared to Lion-O. There’s plenty of muscle detail, and you can even see his ribs. The box art, the logo placement is very eye-catching, and the box itself is entirely collector friendly, so you can play with the figure all you want and put it back in the box when you’re done if you feel like it.ĭesign & Sculpt: Mumm-Ra’s sculpt is very evocative of his classic look in the original cartoon series. Packaging: I already mentioned my thoughts on the Thundercats Classic packaging in my Lion-O review, but I’ll sum them up here.
