Super7's Thundertank Is Great?

[@Allthistomfoolery]

I would like to thank you... For actually calling it the undersea canopy.. you have no idea how many reviewers don't know what it is

[@wolfthewikkid5383]

I got mine Tuesday and I gotta say I love it more than I anticipated. That it can hold all 10 ThunderCats, albeit 4 have to stand, is just mind-boggling compared to the vintage's measly 2. I still feel it's a tad bit too spendy but not enough to say I'm upset I spent it. Now I just hope everybody that ordered the Turtle Van gets the same happy experience I had getting this.

[@thundergodgamer118]

How much does it cost?

[@chrisalan457]

I got mine in from Entertainment Earth and was impressed immediately. This is an extremely well made vehicle and could not be happier with it. I don't have many Thundercats so I'm using this mainly for Masterverse figures, which fit them perfectly.

[@chrisesposito5530]

Thundercats really does fit perfectly with Masters of the Universe thematically.

Great review! This thing looks GLORIOUS! I can't wait to get mine. What a time to be an 80s kid! In a short period of time, we got an updated GI Joe Skystriker and now this brand new, updated 7" scale Thundertank! Not to mention the fully Transformable Robosen Optimus Prime robot that was released earlier and all the other passion projects based on 80s cartoon properties. 30 years ago as a kid, I did not even dare think that toys of this quality based on my beloved cartoons would even be a thing in the future. Now if we just get word that NECA Turtle Van I pre-ordered, I will be a happy man. On a side note, I know Super7 really took on a big challenge producing this 13-pound Thundertank but the sculpt and proportions on it look so good and make me wonder what they could do with a 7" scale Silver Hawks Mirage or a 7" Thundercats Thunderstrike. After all, Lynx-O needs a place to put his Brailboard. Would a 7" scale Feliner be too much? Then again I thought a 7" scale Thundertank would be too much yet here it is. Again much props to Super7 because other companies would just release vehicles like this in a smaller scale and then call it a day. I would love to see how this Thundertank scales with the Classics Battle Ram and/or the Classics Wind Raider or the Classics Roton. That would be a dream crossover shot right there. Again, thanks for the review.

[@Albertk96]

Dude! Where are you putting all of these monstor-sized toys?! Do you just pack them in your garage? With all of the kickstarters and Haslabs, who has the space? Proton pack. Razor Crest, Barge, Galactus, Hiss Tank, Eternia, etc. I think you need to do another episode about space danger and the challenges of collecting.

[@GeekDadLife]

Don’t have a final place for the tank yet, but have a plan to accommodate for it lol

[@bookat69]

Kind of a shame on those peg holes for the canopies, the screws in the back, and those gaps showing the pins for the back hatch...especially with how adamant Brian Flynn is on not breaking up sculpts with articulation with the figures. I'd figure they would have given something to cover those up, whether it be a plate to cover the front, or just some plugs for the holes. Those gaps in the hinges could have been made on the inside to hide them better.

[@machineman6498]

It looks like someone could cast a bunch of rectangular grey strips to fill them in.

[@lasc1980]

I was anxiously waiting for your review of the Thundertank man; thanks!

[@SwimKam]

@@GeekDadLife Hahaha! That was Legend! ❤

[@somarriba333]

This looks cool but I passed on this for the size and the price. The size is not bad, it just came down to collection space for me. The price made it very easy for me to pass on this. This does look like an awesome display piece for the die hard Thundercats fan. My Thundercats figures will just have to hangout at my Classics Castle Grayskull with He-man. Those nitpicky things would bother me though. On my Super 7 Snake Mountain, I wish Super 7 had just added side clips to hold the mountain together to make it more secure to carry but they chose to not add those even though the Mattel Classics Castle Grayskull has them.

[@kenyakona100]

Another great review. Keep up the great work.

[@rolent23]

Great review Jay! Even though I cancelled my Pre-order it looks amazing and I am abit jealous sir :)

[@CringerKitty]

Nice review! I have similar nitpicks, but can overlook them, as it is a really great display piece. I do wish the figures would sit better in the back and that the teeth (as well as the eyes) glowed. My Thundercats logo has the tiniest of paint imperfections, which seems to be my curse with this line lol. Thanks for taking the time to review this Jay!

[@PhilRiveraMedia]

Looks awesome! I have most of the figures, but the price for this was a bit more than I was willing to spend. But if I was going to go for it, the treads are a deal breaker. I feel like for that price, they should have figured out a way for them to move. Maybe they could be just a hair elevated and a they are connected to a wheel on the bottom that makes the treads move when you roll it on the ground? Just something. Otherwise, I'll pass, but it does have a great look and part of me would still like to have this displayed with my figures.

[@vadoraid2517]

Super 7 swears they didn’t alter the original images of the first reveal of the final factory produced tank… it’s not that big. I’m glad cuz that photo was intimidating. I assumed it would be the size of the trilogy falcon going by the specs

[@GeekDadLife]

Yeah its not 1:1 to the BMF, but it takes up about the same space.

[@Dented_Battle_Armor]

I had some confidence this would turn up good. Bcos they got the same vendor which did Snake Mountain. And that was superb!

[@chrisesposito5530]

Great video! The large gaps/holes on the sides at the base of the canopy where it meets the tank are also a bit frustrating, but I think this is the best Thundertank we're ever going to get and it's pretty amazing overall. I think the treads would work a lot better if they had more pronounced tread surface, they're very smooth and don't grip the ground well at all. Maybe a third party will make beefier replacement treads?

[@GeekDadLife]

That's a good point, I could see someone doing that. But I would be concerned that those canisters would break with added pressure.

[@chrisesposito5530]

That is a good point. Ideally there would have been another wheel under the back end that made the treads turn when it rolled on the ground, that way there’d be no pressure on the treads and canisters themselves.

[@nicholasdickens2801]

I think folk forget that this isn’t a high end piece. It’s a toy. It’s just very limited which gives the allusion of a limited edition item. It is but it’s trying to be a mass produced item.

For $500 this should have been a perfect creation, no room for even minor complaints.

[@hey_keith]

I agree. Reviewers have to stop saying "it doesn't really work so well, but that's ok I don't mind". The point is you paid for that as a whole package and it supposed to work.

[@GeekDadLife]

That’s fair, it def was a selling point, and you could get it to “work”, but to me it’s not worth the wear and tear to do that. But as a reviewer I didn’t hold back from pointing out flaws.

[@manuelruiz7296]

Hasta luego!

[@rupturefarms21]

You missed the most important issue of all. The tank treads are too low/short!!! They should be the same height or higher than the top of the tank and extend significantly beyond the back of the tank. When they raised the roof of the tank to fit the figures better they never raised the tank treads to match. You're supposed to be able to see the treads from a front view. This issue litterally ruins the entire tank once you get over the new toy excitement. Look at all the other tanks (icon heroes, ljn, hotwheels) and animation. 😡

[@damianjohnson4707]

If I'm going to spend $500 on something like this, I need it to be perfect so those nitpicks have killed it for me. I'd definitely want to display it without the cover and I really, really don't like those prominent pegholes. Which is a shame because the thundertank is my favourite vehicle ever

[@GeekDadLife]

[@damianjohnson4707]

​@@GeekDadLife Is it going to be a keeper in your collection? Or one to admire and then sell on?

[@Lunzerland]

I’m happy for the diehard Thundercats fans to finally be able to own this piece. Myself, I’m skipping it. I’m starting to get disenchanted with Super 7. First, this is overpriced. Second, the prominent peg holes, metal bar showing through the hinges, big screws holding it together (!), poor design of a character being able to stand at the cannon, no rolling bar at the backend- all deal breakers. Somewhat amateurish if you ask me. Again, if you’re a big fan of the series I get why’d you love this. For us fringe toy collectors of things like this there are too many negatives.

[@nicholasdickens2801]

But it is a regular toy it’s just expensive as they’ll make very few of them.

[@chevy-is-a-good-boy]

As an animated model and smaller scale toy, the design of the Thundertank worked. But blown up in scale it comes across as a rather dull looking slab of gray plastic. Still, if it rocks your boat Super7 did good; just those tracks, they really should've been individual links, especially for the price and longevity concerns.

[@manofaction1807]

[@armoriya]

Not worth $500 dollars. Limited articulation in the figures legs, prevents proper sitting positions. Rear section seating is a joke and the clear dome cover barely offers clearance for Lion-O’s head when he’s in the driver’s seat. Some of the details are minimal and the treads not rolling when you push the vehicle, along with no light-up headlights, are reasons why this toy is not worth the $500 price tag.

Looks like Super7 took care of supplying BBTS with thundertanks before shipping to everyone who pre-ordered and paid up front for it from super7. It's disappointing and kinda bad business practice.

[@GeekDadLife]

Damn that sucks, I was not aware S7 didn’t prioritize their own shipments, I’d be ticked too.

[@phoenixrisingcreations]

@GeekDadLife yup, the best I got from communicating via email with super7 was that they should have them in the warehouse at the end of the month and will ship out then.

[@dkutch8776]

Not to excuse this at all, but I don't believe it's intentional. I think that S7 didn't take the reins on distribution in a way to allow themselves priority. Whichever retailer happens to get their batch first and can process and ship quickly will get the product in customer hands first. It doesn't seem to me like S7 receives all of it to then distribute to the online retailers, and I think that's because they don't physically have the capacity to do so.

[@dkutch8776]

But now that I'm thinking of it, maybe this is by design to reduce cancelled orders from retailers that offer it. 🤔 ex: If I see a review and I don't like the finished product I can cancel my order before it ships.

[@phoenixrisingcreations]

@dkutch8776 that's a solid thought process, only problem is that retailers required a non-refundable down payment. When super7 put this out for pre-order, they said they wouldn't move forward with production unless they had a certain number of pre-orders. For those of us that pre-ordered with super7, there was no option of canceling and getting a refund. We were locked in as backing it. The only way super7 would refund our money was if the required number was reached to go to production.

[@docavenger1560]

For me it could use metallic paint job so it wouldn’t look so Toyish

[@GRAYMATTER_235]

This cost 450$ and you stated that you would have to get a third party to fill in holes, it has advertised glow in the dark lights that are not the same as the picture advertised, it came with no figures, and the treads are non functional. So how did they “nail it?” And how could the HasLab that had a total of 5 figures, led lights and 2 sets of functioning wheels and tons of blast effects be over priced? It cost 100$ less then the thunder tank. 450 vs 350? No added figures, lights, spending more money hoping a 3rd party can fix exposed holes ultimately adding to the overall price. Just doesn’t seem accurate to me for you to have made Hasbro out to be selfish greed toy makers when clearly 450$ is more and you obviously received less, and paid more.

[@GeekDadLife]

Wait I think we’ve been clear we’re big fans of the hisstank. I forked over that money super fast lol or are you talking about the hellcharger? That never got it’s figures and I’m just not a big ghost rider fan. Maybe you should check the video where I gushed over the Haslab proton pack?
