Thundercats was a pretty standard 80s action cartoon: you had a group of heroes facing off against a supervillain and their henchmen on a daily basis, with some child characters and a funny animal sidekick thrown in. Season 2 shook things up a bit with the inclusion of not only more Thundercats, but a new group of villains known as the Lunataks. They didn't work for Mumm-Ra, and also didn't get along as well as the Mutants did, but nevertheless presented new problems for the heroes, and were well liked by fans. Super7 waited until wave 8 of their Ultimates to start doing them, but my first Lunatak, Chilla, is the second one they've put out.

The Lunataks had some pretty funky designs, and Chilla is the most humanoid of them, but she shared some of the same design aspects as the others, such as the horns, the nose, and the crescent symbol on her forehead, er, hair. The hair, and by extension the horns, are soft plastic, as to reduce fears of breaking the horns. The likeness is accurate to the show, save for the hair having more detail, and she bears her default stern expression. The alternate head is much more displeased, with red eyes, mouth wide open, and hair flowing back. The mouth is sculpted with some depth, and there's a reason for that that I'll go over in a bit. The paint is very clean on the heads, and these figures certainly look nicer now that Super7's trying more to make them look less glossy.

Chilla stands 6 1/4", and befitting her powers, she has an icy color scheme, utilizing light purple and a few different blues. The paint lines on the body are very clean, save for a small speck above the right boot. The body sculpt itself is good too, with proper proportions and great blending with the articulation. The lower part of the dress isn't soft plastic, but it doesn't get in the way of leg movement thankfully. The icicle-like bits on the gloves are also tough plastic, so take some care when handling the arms not to jab yourself. Since Super7 likes tailoring, Chilla's cape is fabric, with an integrated wire, so that it can be posed dynamically. Holding the cape in place is a collar glued into the back, and it's made of soft plastic to keep it from restricting the shoulders.

Chilla has the standard movement, with a barbell head, swivel/hinge shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, and ankles, ball-jointed (maybe barbell) chest, and swivel waist and thighs. Most of the joints move with no issue, but the leg joints were really stiff out of the box, and needed heat to get moving. They move fine now, but the thighs aren't all that great. The chest has some decent range, but I would've liked a little more tilt to it, and I'm not sure if the waist is a ball or just a slightly loose swivel, but some tilt there would've been good. On the positive side, the heads and hands swapped easily, with no need for heat.

The accessories for Chilla are pretty good, and most of them come from specific episodes whose names I can't remember. I already mentioned the extra head, and coming with it is an ice breath effect that plugs into the mouth with no issue. It's a little smaller than I would've liked, but it looks great. She also has sets of closed, gripping, and grasping hands, as well as a pointing right. Chilla has not just ice powers, but heat powers as well, made evident by the heat laser beam that plugs into the pointing hand. Going back to the ice powers, she has an icy grenade and a ice collar that can be placed around another figure's neck, but the latter can't be worn by Chilla herself. Less fantastical accessories include an antifreeze bottle, a spray can, and a handbag, and I know the last two come from "Sideswipe." If you pre-ordered the whole ninth wave from Super7 directly, you'd get a head pack with a smirking head for Chilla. That's something I really would've liked to get with the figure itself, rather than being locked behind a pre-order you have to pay upfront for.

The Lunataks were some of the many characters who never got figures in the original LJN line, and Super7 has finally done them justice. Chilla is a well-made figure, aside from some quibbles with articulation, and with Alluro having been out for a while and Luna and Amok having just come out, I'm holding out now for the remaining two Lunataks. It looks like there's nothing new going up for pre-order yet, so it's a good time to get the previous releases in this line.

It's always nice to get little playsets for your figures, since it adds more to a display. Jakks Pacific has done a couple of playsets over the years, and nowadays they're doing them for their smaller-scale lines, which is good for those wanting to save on space (and money). The Simpsons line already got a diorama of the family's home, and recently they put out Krusty Burger. If you're looking for it, I'd check GameStop and Macy's rather than Target or Walmart, since those are where the newer stuff has been popping up first.

This diorama, like the earlier Simpsons' home, consists of a base and two walls, one long and one short. The roof is present on the longer wall, and the sign plugs into it. Said sign utilizes a sticker, as does the window, with silhouettes of Chief Wiggum and Lou inside (could we be getting a 2.5" Lou at some point?). The other side gives us both a door and a drive-thru window, with the generic teen inside. The walls have little cracks on them, with a missing chunk of paint revealing the bricks underneath (both are the same color, I guess Jakks didn't bother with more paint). The drive-thru window opens up, meaning you can have someone stand inside and hand customers their food, and it's a good idea now that we know vehicles are coming to the line. Speaking of stuff that moves, the drive-thru menu sign has a tab that you can pull to change the menu. The alternate menu has much less healthy food, and it feels like something episode-specific.

Krusty Burger scales about 9 3/4" long, 6 1/2" tall (not counting the sign), and another 6 1/2" wide. The size is similar to the Simpsons' home, but it feels more spacious, possibly because unlike the other set, there are no moving stands on the floor. There's a counter with a cash register right by the window, and the appearance is a bit on the simple side, but it fits the show's style, and the sticker is a nice touch. Adjacent to the counter is a table with booth chairs, and there's enough room there to fit the whole Simpsons family if you got the multipack. The table and counter plug in firmly to the base, but the chairs aren't as tight a fit, and are more likely to pop out. The back wall is one big sticker, providing a view of the kitchen with two cooks happy to fulfill any order, a menu with surprisingly low prices, and two episode-specific elements: a poster for the "Mother Nature Burger" from "Coming to Homerica," and a clear spot with a bird smooshed up against it, a gag from "King-Size Homer."

As an extra incentive for people to buy the set, it comes with a Krusty figure, but not the same one from the 2.5" singles. This Krusty is in his outfit from the Mother Nature Burger commercial, itself coming from the aforementioned "Coming to Homerica." The head is the same as the basic Krusty, but the clothes consist of a farmer-like shirt and overalls. The checkered lines on the shirt are sculpted in, which is a bit easier than painting them, and the paint on the arms and overalls is very clean. The television clown/fast-food franchiser stands about 3" tall, and like the rest of the figures in this scale, has a swivel neck, swivel/hinge shoulders, and a "sit-down" joint for the lower body.

The set also comes with two accessories. One of them is a tray of small burgers, enough to feed a group of people (or one Homer). The burger pile is just a one-color piece, and I imagine it'd be hard to paint it cleanly, but the sculpt on it looks great. The other accessory is a deep-fried bag, a gag coming from "Diatribe of a Mad Housewife," and it's the kind of ridiculous, unhealthy thing only a fictional restaurant would do. This ties into another play feature, as the bag can be placed onto a spot on the counter, and then you push down on the register to flip it out the window. You'll have to open the window yourself for the feature to truly work, but it's pretty fun.

The Simpsons' house diorama was pretty good, and Krusty Burger is just as well-made and creative, but it's my favorite out of the two. It feels like it'll make sense with more figures, and there's enough space for plenty of characters, topped off with episodic references to appease dedicated fans. I'll be making sure to grab more of the 2.5" line, though I may have to do it online since I'm having no luck at brick-and-mortar stores, and I'm hoping to see more dioramas this year.

Hello, First time posting! But I've been signing up to almost every Retro toy website I can for help! I'm trying to do a recreate of the figures from Nickelodeon show: Action League now! I've already got the Conan figure for "The flesh". The Gi joe figure for "Stinky diver" and all I can find on Meltman is it might be a GI joe "Cobra figure". I'm in desperate need for help trying to figure out parts for Thundergirl!

All I saw from the Wiki it says a Sidney doll head and a modded She ra figure! But I'm not so sure about the she ra body? A lot of my researching so far, i can say that most of the figures all came from Hasbro roughly around 1990 and 1994! I've just been in recent contact with the creator of "Kablam!" after talking to the artist, and he's going to provided me with pictures of the figures he still might have soon. Also Bob was kind to try and reach out for me to the creators of Action League now. So Any updates I'll let you all know!

But I'm looking for anyone's who's willing to help me find more clues or might know details to the parts? I'm trying to find the everything that might have used: Torso, arms that have the elbow joints, and epically the legs of the figure!! That have a certain Boot design. I was almost for sure that it might have been a wrestle figure but haven't found anything still. Hope to hear for anyone soon! I hope I provided the pictures well?
