My guess is that they'll try to milk the tooling for another, metalized edition down the line. They could do it now, but releasing the ideal version first means fewer second purchases. Kinda like the way smart diecast car manufacturers release a Ferrari in yellow for the initial run, becaue they know everyone wants the red: they get the impulse buyers first, then the rest with the red release.

Roy Focker Posted June 14, 2021 Posted June 14, 2021 Pre-ordered the 2 Hawks. I was a fan but not a big enough fan to buy them all. Will look nice in misc shelf. Quote

sh9000 Posted June 18, 2021 Author Posted June 18, 2021 http://thundercats.org/2021/06/catching-up-with-brian-flynn-super7-june-2021/ TC.org: Variants is part of the game. Would consider to “giving in” to fan demand and delivering a more metallic version of Quicksilver and his allies in the future, similar to the Silver Surfer figure that was released that boasted a shiny look? BF: We might get there one day, but right now, we’re focusing on delivering figures that are a close resemblance to how they appeared on screen. We’re currently still spending a lot of time on paint, and these figures you see have more of a matte finish, but we’re working on it having a pearlized metallic look or sheen, but something that still matching what was on screen and not a glossy figure. We’re also looking at a paint similar to what cars are painted with, that metallic paint finish that shifts from blue to silver or from red to purple when you look at it. I’m not making any promises on that, though, but we’re looking at the best options for these figures. They’re SilverHawks, not Chrome-Hawks, right? Quote
captain america Posted June 18, 2021 Posted June 18, 2021 The ability to go metallic is definitely there, though cost may be one important factor. There are numerous items I've had over the years which sport a fairly durable dull silver paint. The fact that Masterpiece transformers now sport mostly painted surfaces is itself indicative that they can formulate durable finishes for at least semy-playable collectibles. No need for fancy chameleon finishes. Quote
JetJockey Posted July 2, 2021 Posted July 2, 2021 I hate interviews like that. They need to decide on the look before taking money from customers. Quote

pengbuzz Posted March 8, 2022 Posted March 8, 2022 I wish Super7 would have done the Centurions instead of Ramen Toys. Also...StarCom anyone? Quote
Big s Posted March 8, 2022 Posted March 8, 2022 I liked the starcom gimmick with the magnetic feet. My brother and I were always in my moms way while she was cooking because we would have a war in the kitchen sticking those guys against the fridge Quote

danth Posted March 9, 2022 Posted March 9, 2022 Whoa. Apparently the above character is Mandora from Thundercats. Never seen her before. She looks really cool though! Quote
derex3592 Posted March 10, 2022 Posted March 10, 2022 I pre-ordered Space Homer for release this summer. I'll see how the QC is for these before I pony up for other characters. Quote
sh9000 Posted March 11, 2022 Author Posted March 11, 2022 I haven't ordered any Simpsons figures yet but I might get a few. I'd be interested in a set of the Simpsons family, McBain, Comic Book Guy, and a regular Itchy and Scratchy. Quote
