Super7 gave us a real gift a few weeks ago when they released this "Toy Color" variant of their Cheetara ReAction figure. What I especially love about it is that I honestly never noticed the animated Cheetara color palette varied so much from the vintage LJN toy. I saw the previous ReAction Toy Color releases of Lion-O and Panthro, and I just didn't see the change as drastic enough to warrant an additional purchase, but when I got the email from Super7 announcing this Cheetara variant, I had the sudden donning realization that she has two distinct colorings. Where the animated version can be interpreted as varying shades of muted browns and oranges with a pale skin tone, the vintage LJN toy had a bright red and orange outfit with a distinct yellow-ish skintone (a true Autumn vs Summer palette). The variation excited me to the point where I bought the (seemingly) lackluster Lion-O and Panthro, and suddenly I'm eagerly anticipating a Tygra variant - and the missing 'cats of course. Let's check out Cheetara below!
Time for some Group and Comparison Pics!
Here is Cheetara with her animation-color version from 2020.
And here is Lion-O and Panthro with both their toy and cartoon versions.
And here are all my ReAction ThunderCats so far: Grune (ThunderCat variant), Panthro, Lion-O, Cheetara (Toy Color Variant), Jaga, Cheetara, Lion-O (Toy Color Variant), Panthro (Toy Color Variant), and Tygra.
Cheers!
