Wave 15 ThunderCats ULTIMATES! Review

Some links on this page are affiliate links that support thundercats.org.

Wave 15 of Super7’s ThunderCats ULTIMATES! line landed in June 2026, another presale batch built up front in limited numbers before orders opened. It is the latest in a run of presale waves that have shipped clean and on schedule, proof of how far Super7’s production has come since the early days of this line. The one letdown this time around was the Super Pack. It sold out within minutes and was not restocked, so plenty of collectors ended up buying the four figures separately, no real hardship given who is in this lineup.

Four figures make up the wave: Jagara, a new sculpt of Mumm-Ra billed as “Old Man,” Wizz-Ra, and the mutant bird warrior Zaxx. What follows is a rundown of all four, based on our team contributor Egmond’s in-hand time with the wave (his full write-up and video review live over at We Want More ThunderCats, linked at the bottom).

Jagara

Jagara has sat near the top of the most-wanted list since the ULTIMATES! line began. She is the last of the original core ThunderCats still missing from the toy roster, and Egmond has been lobbying Super7’s Brian Flynn for her by name for years. She was worth the wait, though the figure did not arrive without a scare. While filming his review, the neck ball joint on his copy snapped as he swapped the alternate head on. Super7’s Rudy responded within 48 hours and a replacement is already in the mail, a turnaround Egmond was quick to praise. If you pick one up, warm the neck joint before changing heads.

There is also a small paint miss on the stoic head, where the purple chin line bleeds slightly onto the face up close. The alternate smiling head skips that issue entirely and has become the go-to display option: tilt it or change up her hand pose and the expression reads differently every time. The blast effect that plugs into her open palm is a great sculpt on its own, but the peg does not seat flush the way it does on the new Mumm-Ra, a fit problem more than one collector has run into with this piece.

On the plus side, her hand selection is excellent, sharp and expressive in a way that suits the character, and she ships with a standard Sword of Omens plus a scaled down Gyroscope Regulator, a nice nod to the artifact that nearly tore New Thundera apart in the show. A two toned purple cape (different shades front and back) and a soft head dress round out a figure that reuses Cheetara’s leg sculpt to good effect.

Mumm-Ra (Old Man)

This ULTIMATES! release arrives hot on the heels of the DX version of the same “Old Man” sculpt, and it earns its place next to it. The differences are subtle but real: extra shading that the DX figure does not have, a noticeably nicer cloak fabric, and a sharper paint job on the face. The DX cloak is held with a clasp (likely a retail safety requirement) while this one is stitched. If none of that matters to you, the cheaper DX figure is still a fantastic pickup on its own.

The bonus here is the included alternate head wearing the helmet of Pharnoor, a favorite image from the cartoon and one that a lot of collectors were relieved was not held back for the (now sold out) Super Pack. Swapping it on is fiddly with the soft goods cloak in the way, so warm up both the neck joint and the head first.

The included blast effect is a clean win, seated properly against the palm the way Jagara’s should have been, and the extra hands give Mumm-Ra a pose for every scheme. The cloak’s lining is a proper navy rather than plain red this time, and the eyes now carry small white dots, both changes that push the figure closer to the cartoon than the original Wave 1 release managed.

The one deliberate departure from the 1985 show is the staff, which never appeared in that cartoon but has been part of the toy line since the vintage Mattel release and Super7’s own Wave 1. It also shows up in the 2011 reimagining. Super7’s take here splits the difference, distinctly retro but with a nod to that later redesign. This is the first time Mumm-Ra has been available again in over seven years, which makes the timing with Wizz-Ra (who has direct ties to him in the story) feel like a deliberate pairing rather than a coincidence.

Wizz-Ra

Wizz-Ra is a one-episode character who has stuck around in fan memory far longer than his screen time would suggest, thanks in no small part to the old Panini sticker book and its Dimension Doom storyline with Cheetara. He was originally slated for Wave 14, but a factory issue pulled him from that lineup at the last minute; rather than delay the whole wave, Super7 shipped the other two figures on schedule and pushed him into Wave 15, which is why this wave has four figures instead of the usual three. Wave 16 returns to the standard count.

His enchanted helmet of Pharnoor is the centerpiece, and pairing it with Mumm-Ra’s alternate head in this same wave was a smart move by Super7 given the two figures’ shared history. The blast effects reuse a sculpt from earlier in the line, no complaint there, and he ships with a set of open human hands plus clear blue power hands referencing a scene from the cartoon. One of the clear hands snapped during photography, so those pieces may run a little brittle. His chain accessory represents the transformed whips of the WilyTwins under Mumm-Ra’s spell, not the Chain of Loyalty from later in the series.

The wired cloak is glued at the shoulder plate, so do not try to pry that piece loose thinking it is unattached. The alternate powered up head with the shouting expression is a nice option, though the stoic bald head under the helmet would have been preferred here (it is the one included in the now-gone Super Pack instead).

One genuine first for the line: sandaled feet, sculpted and painted cleanly enough that a detail which could easily have looked cheap instead works well. The bright white kilt against the tanned torso and gold braces, plus the helmet itself, sell the character straight off the screen.

Zaxx

Zaxx showed up late in the original series, a mutant bird warrior with a surprisingly deep tie to Mumm-Ra that the show only hinted at before paying it off. Super7 first referenced that connection back in Wave 1, when Mumm-Ra’s figure included a small Rosenkrantz Medallion. Zaxx’s version here is much larger (it has to be, to fit around his neck) and, in a nice touch, it slips over either of his interchangeable heads without needing to be removed and reattached. Flip it over and the broken chain link is sculpted on the back too, the kind of detail Super7 rarely skips.

The wings plug snugly into his back and pose well once warmed up, and his two sets of arms open up more display options than most figures in the line. At $84.99 he is the priciest figure in the wave, and the scale backs it up: a large figure with detailed gold armor, a skirt piece that still allows a full range of leg movement, and enough engineering in those extra arms to make posing genuinely fun rather than fiddly.

Handle the head carefully when swapping it out. Both portraits are sharp, but the sculpted points on the headpiece are genuinely sharp to the touch too.

The verdict

Wave 15 leans on characters that casual fans might not recognize on sight, but that is exactly what makes it work. Jagara closes out the roster of original core ThunderCats still owed a figure, Mumm-Ra’s return after seven years off shelves is the headline draw, and Zaxx is the kind of deep-cut pick that keeps this line feeling like it is still building out Third Earth rather than repeating itself. Seven years in, Super7 is still finding new corners of the show to bring to the shelf.
