I just used acrylic paints and mixed them to try to get close to reference photos. Then I used Krylon matte clear coat to seal the paint.

Do you ever remove material at the joints? I find it essential to prevent the paint from rubbing off when the figure is moved. Particularly the shoulders and biceps.

 

[jedijim3002]

No. I just painted into the joints as best I could slightly moving the arms away from the torso then sealing it before moving the joints again. Works pretty good as far as I can tell. It worked great for my custom Lion-o and I move those joints all the time.

Cheetara is finally shipping!

 

[jedijim3002]

Finally get to replace my custom Cheetara.

 

[jedijim3002]

She arrived early! Wasn’t supposed to be here till next week but shipping bumped up quickly. Looks great. Some things I would have preferred they did different but it’s nice to finally have one more of the core team.

Where did you get yours from? All the websites say preorder still

 

[jedijim3002]

Directly from SUPER7. I preordered when it first went up on their site.

Yes. Please do. It seems that some of the eye paint is different. It’s the luck of the draw if the eyes are at a higher angler making them look flat and weird.

 

[guyver1]

Man..videos and pics don’t do this justice



In hand I think she is spot on to the cartoon ..was even revamping the episodes with Hulu yesterday..

The articulation of course could be better but I think no one should cancel their orders..now granted this is my first S7 fig..but I think the proportions are fine to the accuracy of the cartoon IMO

Working on action shots

 

[guyver1]

Too bad ..this is where double jointed knees would’ve worked better

 

[jedijim3002]

The eyes on yours look way better than mine. Mine are slanted too far at an angle. They should be more horizontal in my opinion. I did some photoshop to see what it would look like if corrected. Mine on the right and corrected on the left

Wow the left eye (your left ..my right in the pic ) on yours is definitely too slanted and the iris is sloppy and looks like her lipstick is crooked on your lower lip

Even my wind slept hair sculpt which is slightly off in her eye IMO is still better than your normal head‘s eyes and makeup. The eyeshadow on your slanted eye is too faded (could be the picture though)



I got mine from BBTS where did you get yours from? Not sure if they would
give you a replacement for paint QC alone

Here is a better look at my normal expression sculpt



IMO she looks cartoon beautiful for a figure sculpt..maybe some might disagree. But now I have great hope that S7 will make the Joe women look this good ..I hope

Youtubers complaining about her hips being wide..I think she looks well proportioned

 

[jedijim3002]

Yup. I see that now. Yours definitely looks better than mine. I haven’t inspected the other heads yet but I’ll check them out when I get home from work.

I got mine directly from SUPER7. Not sure if they’d do an exchange or just send me a better head. I guess I can always contact them to see what they say.

 

[jedijim3002]

As far as the hips are concerned I think they look fine. I think its the waist that could have been a bit more contoured. The proto had a great waist but the production piece wasn’t as defined.

If the waist would have curved in a bit more like the proto on the right I think it would have been perfect.

 

[IdeaOfEvil]

Smaller boobs and a wider waist almost look deliberate than it does an accident or a "sculpting necessity" to me =/ It is what it is. But dear Lord, aren't we all adults buying adult toys?

[jedijim3002]

I saw these on one of the Thundercats fan groups on Facebook. Looks like another variant is coming. Funny how the fan groups get leaked photos way before SUPER7 show them on their own social media pages.

So I am guessing Color-Changing Lion-O is the new pinless mold?

Would really like to know if/when Super 7 will re-release pinless Lion-O with the original colors,
to be fair, he and a pinless Panthro should have come with the Thundertank for the insane pricetag.
