![]() ![]() I have the vintage Cats Lair that I integrate into my display, and I am working on how to best display Lynx-O with the board within the play set. ![]() It is large and nicely detailed, you can see the braille stamps on the keys, and everything is painted well. This was not included in the original solicitation of the figure, but Super7 heard our calls and included it, which is great as it is an essential piece for Lynx-O. The most interesting, and to me – best accessory though, is the Braille Board. That is the one “weapon” he has, as the tile from the Fountain is the other original accessory, and the tampo print on that is nicely done. The Light Shield snaps around his forearm easily, so you can outfit him battle. Speaking of, along with that swappable head, Lynx-O also has three sets of swappable hands (one set of splayed, and two sets of grip hands, one with side to side hinge, and one with up and down). While I probably won’t employ the snarling face a much, it has a lot of personality, so it is great to have options. ThunderCats eyes are tricky, but he does not have that same look, but all of the spots and transitions of color are very, very well done. Honestly, I think Lynx-O has the best portrait paint of the entire line thus far. On the other hand, Lynx-O has some pretty unique and detailed patterns on his face, beard, ears, and even his forearms, so I have been anxiously awaiting the final results. Black against a lighter color can be especially tricky, but I am glad to say all of the transitions to the reds, oranges, and yellows is clean with no issues to report. Lynx-O’s costume is pretty straightforward, but that can be a trap for paint work because if it is not crisp and clean, things can get rocky fast. So, with his character design, the paint work is really the highlight because it is low key great. That is really the only thing I have to mention, and while his costume and character design might not be as flashy as some, that allows the articulation to sing, and posing him is surprisingly fun. My nitpick remains the same as well in that his hands are made of a pretty rigid plastic, so heating them ahead of arming him up with his accessories is a good idea. I have no outstanding issues to report as again, all of the joints are strong and smooth, the paint is clean, and most of the material choices are right on. Like Monkian, the great production quality of series four continues with this figure. Well, every ULTIMATES! series seems to have a sleeper figure so I am happy to say that Lynx-O is that for me this time around, and while maybe not as flashy as some of the others, this figure accomplishes everything it needs to extremely well. I have been so excited for Monkian and Snowman that while I was looking forward to Lynx-O, I had not given him nearly as much thought prior to his arrival. Even so, I think I was sleeping on this figure a bit when this series was announced. So, as strange as it is to say, this is the first time having a Lynx-O figure for me. I have to admit that Bengali was the only new ThunderCat figure my brother and I had as kids. ![]()
