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 ancient 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.
Egmond’s Jagara featured a small paint error on her stoic head, where the purple chinstrap bled slightly onto the face, but the alternate smiling head had no paint issues. The blast effect that plugs into her open palm is a great sculpt on its own, but the peg is large and so the effect doesn’t sit 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 ways that suit the character, and she ships with a short Sword of Omens, plus a scaled down Gyroscope regulator, the infamous artifact at the center of Mumm-Ra’s plot to destroy New Thundera. A wired, two-toned purple cape (different shades front and back) and soft plastic at the back of her headdress make for easy dynamic posing and round out a lovely rendition of this ancient ThunderCat sorceress!

Mumm-Ra (Old Man)
This ULTIMATES! release arrives hot on the heels of the Deluxe 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 Deluxe figure does not have, a noticeably nicer cloak fabric, and a sharper paint job on the face. The Deluxe cloak is held with a clasp (possibly a retail safety requirement) while this one is stitched. If none of that matters to you, the cheaper Deluxe 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 starting with the vintage LJN release through to Matty Collector and later Super7’s own Wave 1. It also shows up in ThunderCats Roar. This is the first time Mumm-Ra has been available again in over seven years, which makes the timing with Wizz-Ra (whose backstory has direct ties to Mumm-Ra) 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 “Dimension Doom” appearing on VHS and in the vintage Panini sticker book. 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 three of other recent waves.
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 characters’ 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 on Egmond’s Wizz-Ra snapped, so those pieces may run a little brittle. His chain accessory represents the transformed whips of the ThunderKittens, not (as Super7’s product page suggests) 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.

Zaxx
Zaxx showed up late in the original series, an ancient bird warrior with a surprisingly deep tie to Mumm-Ra. Super7 first referenced their connection back in Wave 1, when Mumm-Ra’s figure included a small Rosencrantz Medallion. Zaxx’s version here is much larger and slips over either of his interchangeable heads without needing to remove or reattach them. A second Medallion features a broken chain link and a detailed rendering of Zaxx himself, ready to insult whoever foolishly decides to wear it.
Separate 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 pointy and genuinely sharp to the touch.

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 core ThunderCats still owed a figure, Mumm-Ra’s returns after seven years and Wizz-Ra after seven thousand, and Zaxx is the kind of deep-cut pick that keeps this line feeling like it’s still building out Third Earth rather than repeating itself. Seven years in, Super7 is still finding new corners of the show to bring to collectors’ shelves.
