BREAKING NEWS:
AMIDST SILVERHAWKS PAINT CONTROVERSY, SUPER7 ANNOUNCES NEXT WAVE OF ULTIMATE TMNT!!
A few days ago, Super7 unveiled the first pictures of the digital sculpts of the Silverhawks figures… and inevitably, people started to complain! (That could actually be another article, and just end there). From the pictures of the digital scuplts (read that again, digital sculpts. Not even actual figures yet), the paint didn’t look as shiny as the figures used to be in our collective memories… Oh noooo!
“WHAT? Those are not shiny enough!”
In the late 80’s, the figures used “vac-metal” (or vacuum metallizing) and were oh-so-shiny, and that is how people are remembering them. On the new Super7 figures digital sculpt pictures (once again, not even prototype pics, just digital), the colors seemed more matte, rather than very shiny. Collectors will not be able to use their Silverhawks figures as mirrors to look if they have something stuck between their teeth. Such a shame!
(For more info about the Super7 Silverhawks line and colors, check out the excellent interview of Brian Flynn by the great Pixel Dan that came out during the weekend. It’s amazingly informative! Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFMZHnva640 )
“I won’t be able to enjoy my reflection in these! Gosh darn!”
ToyFarce did some digging, and found out about what the next wave of Ultimate TMNT will be, and you’ll never guess who the characters are! (#3 will shock you… sorry, old clickbaits habits).
The plan is for the next wave of TMNT Ultimates to include Chrome Dome, Robotic Bebop, Robotic Rocksteady and a Robotic Foot Soldier! All those figures which were vac-metal back then too! No digital sculpt pictures yet to see if they have a shine to them, but we’ll keep you posted as soon as we hear more.
Chrome Dome, Robotic Foot Soldier, Robotic Bebop and Robotic Rocksteady… SO SHINY!
There are also early rumors that the next wave could be inspired by the Metal Mutants wave from the early 90’s!
Shiny rumors!
