Thankfully Mafex Marvel heads have kinda been compatible with Marvel Legends, so you could always put one of those heads on her.

Honestly no one has ever done a good head for her. Personally I'd love a full on Jim Lee super Asian head since you know she is supposed to be Asian.

Repainting Silk's head has been a popular method. The Jim Lee ML looks pretty great, though, in my opinion. The stiff long hair is annoying, though.

I guess you don't even need to repaint if you don't want to either, since she has black hair often too.

I think black with a wash of dark brown and then a clear purple coat would look cool. I have had that idea for awhile just haven't gotten around to it.

I saw the pic but was too busy to share them. It looks good from that fuzzy rear end photo and it's exactly what I wanted, an update of the original, not a dumbed down version of the Classics mold.

I’m gonna have trouble seeing anything else. She’s pretty good looking, I am enjoying heck out of the Yamaguchi one for the crazy flying ninja poses though.

How come the Mafex & Yamaguchi lines double up on so many of the X-Men? Aside from Mafex Cyke and Yamaguchi Cable the lines have been the same (Wolverine, Gambit, Psylocke, Deadpool, Magneto); just a popularity issue I suppose?

Companies couldn’t license the X-Men for a while so they’re all getting in on those greatest hits.

They’re finally doing a Black Series of The Armorer, the best Mando design in that first season, ...but they omitted her fur collar for some reason (despite already doing very similar pieces on the Range Troopers and the Gammorrean Guards) and her hammer is all wrong.

The preorder for wave 4 of Thundercats Ultimates just showed up out of frickin nowhere, and it’s a little surprising. Everyone assumed a reissue of the Mattel Wilykit and Wilykat pack would be next up since it’s the only Mattel thing they didn’t rerelease yet and they’ve also been plainly visible in the background of previous videos when they announced other waves... but they brought out 4 all-new figures instead, and they’re kinda deep pulls.

Monkian was a bit of an obvious choice as one of the few main season 1 bad guys not released yet. Lynx-O is a solid pick as another core team member from the second half of the series. The other two were out of left field, it’s the Snowman of Hook Mountain with some badass translucent ice weapons, and “Pumm-Ra” which is from an episode where the evil Mumm-Ra disguised himself as a Thundercat; that figure comes with some interesting accessories including an oversized roaring head which can be displayed on the wave 2 Mumm-Ra figure to show him mid-transformation.

On one hand I’m bummed that we’re not actually getting the Thunderkittens because I want those figures real bad, I think they were the coolest ones in the short-lived Mattel line. On the other hand, I’m stoked to see them nerding out with some more obscure characters! It shows confidence in the longevity of the line. I had the old LJN Snowman figure and he was one of my faves. This is definitely shaping up to be a great toy line!

I’m not usually one for modern limited POA cartoony stuff, but I really like the NECA Toony Terrors Michael Myers and Ash that I got today. They’re less than half the price of the usual NECA stuff so they’re not a big financial drain either.

They’re doing Sam from Trick r Treat in the next wave, so I’ll probably pick that one up too.

Jaga is already coming up, and there have been a lot of requests for a ghost version. The announced one comes with three heads among other things, it’s a good looking figure... but they went for the alive version.

Basically the line is, when Mattel ran out of MOTU characters for the classics line they started doing subscription-only Thundercats in the same style, then they shut down the whole Matty Collector thing after doing only like 5 characters, then Super 7 bought the molds and started remaking the existing ones and making a bunch of new ones, and they are adding tons of extra accessories and trying to improve and expand on the Mattel line. This is very good for Thundercats fans because the Mattel ones were incredibly rare and went for outrageous prices. The Super 7 ones aren’t exactly cheap ($45, usually) but at least they are attainable if you care!

Apparently she does have her fur collar thing, but it’s an ugly plastic piece that clips on instead of soft goods.

That's actually worse somehow. It's bad enough they hosed up the hammer, but when they go to actually add the fur collar they don't even give a gently caress enough to actually make it fur, just some lovely plastic thing.
