There is no getting around the elbow pad issue, but I like the colors. Overall, I am glad to have Tygra in the display, and am really enjoying a lot if his dynamic attributes – he’s a good looking figure, and he poses very nicely.
THUNDERCATS TYGRA SERIES
Like I said, there is nothing egregious with this figure, but as I mentioned in my Mumm-Ra review, I am glad factory change for the future series is in place, I think they are tighter with their paint applications. Also, there is a bit of a gold-ish highlight on the torso that breaks up the teal colors a bit. This figure is good overall, but there are a few lines here and there the could be a little crisper, so I am foreseeing more variance from figure to figure than, say, with someone from series four. His materials are good too, with the choice of plastics being appropriate for strength in places like the limbs, but also in being pliable in places like the hands.įinally, aside from the elbow pad miss, I would say that, like Mumm-Ra, the paint on this series overall isn’t as strong as it is with series three and four (from the other factory). The one spot where I wish the movement a bit better is in the neck, but it’s not far off from a standard U! figure. The articulation scheme and range of movement is pretty much on-par for ULTIMATES, so even with the reconstruction of the joints to pinless, he retains the same amount of points.
His articulation at the elbows and knees has gone fully pinless, and all of the joints are strong and engineered well.
With all that, overall, I think Tygra is a solid release. Further, yes, the the orange fur color is bright, but it is essentially the same as Wily Kat’s hair color, so it isn’t out of the scope of the overall palette of the figure. In fact, I think the overall group is coming together really nicely (see the picture). I have seen comments that he stands out from the rest of the ThunderCats group, but I do not feel that is the case at all. Now, I understand it being different from the prototype iterations that have been shown, or the various transfers of the cartoon, so if the teal and orange are bright for you, I get it. That might be due to the vintage toy, but original colors of the animation also match the scheme, so it’s not that it is incorrect.
The teal costume is always what I associated with Tygra. Personally, I like the final colors, but I understand why others may not. Second, is the final color palette has evolved considerably during the course of production, so this will be another spot of division.
