Cheetara ThunderCats Ultimates Super7 Reissue In Hand Review

Thunder, Thunder, ThunderCats, Hooooo! Cheetara has always held a special place in my heart as one of the most compelling characters from the original 1985 ThunderCats animated series. She’s fast, she’s fierce, she’s telepathic, and she never needed anyone to save her. As a kid watching her sprint across Third Earth with that bo staff in hand, I just knew she was something special. Super7 has been doing incredible work with their ThunderCats Ultimates line, and getting Cheetara back out to collectors as a reissue is such a welcome move. So many fans missed her the first time around, and she really is one of those figures that completes the core team on your shelf. So let’s take a look at the Cheetara ThunderCats Ultimates Super7 Reissue in hand review! This 7-inch figure comes packed with goodies. We’re talking two interchangeable heads with different hairstyles, one for her classic look and one with that iconic flowing running hair. She also includes four pairs of hands, two bo staffs in both extended and compact forms, an open and closed communicator, the Mirror of Truth, and even her flute. That flute is such a wonderful deep cut for fans of the show who remember those quieter character moments between all the action. The sculpt on Cheetara captures that classic animated aesthetic so well, with clean lines and vibrant paint that feels like she stepped right off the screen. The articulation gives you plenty of options for posing, whether you want her in a full sprint or standing guard at Cats’ Lair. We want to give a huge thanks to Big Bad Toy Store. for sending us this Cheetara ThunderCats Ultimates Super7 Reissue for review, and if she has been on your must have list, you can still grab her now at Big Bad Toy Store.

Where to Buy

Packaging

The box art on the lower portion features a hand-painted illustration of Cheetara gripping her bo staff, with her flowing yellow hair and the classic ThunderCats red facial markings rendered in a style that feels true to the 1985 animated series. Through the window, the figure is packed alongside three pairs of alternate heads, her bo staff, the Mirror of Truth with its green and gold frame, a flute, and both open and closed communicators.

The back of the box features a larger, more detailed look at the Cheetara artwork, depicting her with wild, windswept blonde hair and her bo staff held across her body against a mountainous twilight sky. A character biography below the illustration describes her as the fastest of the ThunderCats, detailing her agility, her skill with the bo staff, and her mystical “Sixth Sense” ability to perceive evil and see visions of the past and future.

The inner tray gives a full look at Cheetara’s accessory spread, which is generous. I like how they included both a long and short bo staff, along with the Mirror of Truth featuring its green face and gold trim, a flute, open and closed communicators, two alternate heads with different hairstyles, a large translucent orange flame effect piece, and four pairs of interchangeable hands including grip, open, fist, and claw options.

Figure Details

Cheetara stands in a neutral front-facing pose, showing off her burnt orange leotard with the ThunderCats cat emblem printed on the chest and those tan-colored arm sleeves with sculpted black cheetah spots on the shoulders. Her default “flowing hairstyle” head features bright yellow sculpted hair swept up with a few spots on top, along with the signature red facial markings framing her eyes and cheeks.

From the side profile, the sculpted black cheetah spots on Cheetara’s upper arm and shoulder come through clearly, dotting the tan skin tone plastic in a pattern that matches the animated design. Her white wrist gauntlet has a clean, metallic finish, and the orange-to-yellow color transition from her boots up through her leggings reads nicely from this angle.

From the rear, Cheetara’s dark maroon cross-strap harness wraps cleanly across her upper back, standing out against the tan skin tone of her sleeves. Her boots feature a cuffed cream-colored trim just below the knee, and the white bracelet on her left wrist catches the light nicely from this view.

From this side profile, Cheetara has her short bo staff with a gold metallic finish is attached to her wrist, tucked close to her hip. The cream-colored fur trim at the top of her boots has a nice sculpted texture that separates it from the smooth reddish-brown leather of the boot below.

Armed with her long bo staff, Cheetara is posed in a running action pose with her “running hairstyle” head, where the sculpted blonde hair sweeps back to sell the sense of speed. Her orange and yellow outfit with the ThunderCats emblem on the chest looks faithful to the animated series, and the reddish-brown boots and gauntlets add a nice contrast to the warmer tones.

Cheetara’s running hairstyle head really sells the motion here, with the sculpted blonde locks swept dramatically to one side and those black cheetah spots trailing through the hair. The figure is supported by a clear disc stand at the foot, and her long bo staff extends well above her head, giving the whole setup a nice sense of action.

Cheetara is posed with her long gold bo staff planted firmly while her opposite hand reaches outward with the open-claw swap hands, selling a mid-action moment nicely. I’m really digging the way the running hairstyle head pairs with this kind of pose, tying the whole setup together.

A close-up reveals the sculpt work on Cheetara’s default flowing hairstyle head, with her red facial markings wrapping symmetrically around her eyes and down her cheeks in sharp, angular shapes. Her red-lined cat-like eyes have a distinct lavender hue to the irises, and the red lips add a subtle pop of color against the pale skin tone of her face.

The back of Cheetara’s default flowing hairstyle head shows the sculpted blonde hair cascading down past her shoulders, with individual strands carved into the plastic and irregular black cheetah spots scattered throughout. The spots continue down onto her upper back and shoulder area, blending naturally with the ones on her tan skin tone sleeves.

A close-up of Cheetara’s running hairstyle head shows the sculpted blonde hair swept dramatically to one side, with deep grooves carved between the individual locks giving the piece real volume and flow. The black cheetah spots are scattered irregularly across the hair, and that head sculpt is really solid, capturing the wild, windblown look from the animated series.

The rear view of Cheetara’s running hairstyle head shows the sculpted blonde hair flowing back in long, layered strands with deep carved grooves that give each lock definition and separation. The black cheetah spots are scattered across the top and sides of the hair, trailing down naturally, and a sliver of the red cross-strap harness peeks out just below where the hair meets her shoulders.

Cheetara is posed mid-run with her long gold bo staff gripped tightly, and the running hairstyle head with its swept-back blonde locks and scattered cheetah spots pairs perfectly with the action pose. Her silver wrist bracelet and the small ThunderCats emblem on her chest catch the eye up close, and the warm orange tones of her leotard contrast nicely against the lighter yellow of her arm sleeves.

Cheetara is posed in a wide action stance with her long gold bo staff angled upward, and the running hairstyle head with its windswept blonde hair sells the momentum of the pose. The figure is supported by a clear disc stand, and the warm gradient from her reddish-brown boots up through the orange leotard to the yellow sleeves comes together cleanly in this full-body shot.

A close-up of Cheetara’s alternate glowing eyes head shows the same red facial markings and angular cheek patterns as the default, but her eyes are painted a solid bright yellow-orange without pupils, capturing that classic sixth sense activation look from the animated series. The sculpted hair on this head matches the flowing hairstyle, swept up with black cheetah spots scattered across the top.

The rear view of Cheetara’s alternate glowing eyes head shares the same flowing hairstyle sculpt as the default, with long strands of bright yellow hair cascading past her shoulders and black cheetah spots dotted irregularly from the crown down through the lower lengths. Something I appreciate here is how the spot placement on this head differs slightly from the default, keeping each alternate head feeling like its own piece rather than a straight copy.

A close-up of Cheetara’s glowing eyes head from a slightly lower angle shows the solid yellow-orange eyes catching the light with a warm, almost amber tone. Her claw-style swap hands are attached here, with the sculpted fingers curled inward and finished in a pale cream color that contrasts against the reddish-brown gauntlet on her forearm.

The ThunderCats emblem on Cheetara’s chest is a sculpted circular medallion in pink with a black cat silhouette printed at its center, sitting just below the V-cut neckline of her burnt orange leotard. The torso sculpt shows a smooth transition at the waist joint, and the color of the leotard deepens slightly from the chest down toward the hip area.

The close-up of Cheetara’s back shows the dark maroon cross-strap harness meeting at a central knot between her shoulder blades, with the straps sitting flush against the mustard-yellow panel of her upper back. The warm orange skin tone of her lower torso has a smooth, finish on the plastic, and the color shift where the leotard ends and skin begins is cleanly defined.

The close-up of Cheetara’s right arm shows the elbow joint articulation with a visible hinge cut, and the tan skin tone plastic carries a smooth, matte finish along the forearm. Her white wrist bracelet sits snugly just above the grip hand, which is sculpted with slightly curled fingers ready to hold an accessory.

The close-up of Cheetara’s left arm shows the reddish-brown gauntlet wrapping around her forearm, with her short closed bo staff attached to her wrist gauntlet. The elbow joint features a double-hinge cut at the bend, and the sculpted shoulder pad has a few subtle carved lines suggesting stitching or panel separation in the yellow-orange plastic.

The close-up of Cheetara’s lower half shows her legs finished in a warm, peachy-orange skin tone plastic with subtle knee joint cuts that blend reasonably well into the sculpt.

The rear close-up of Cheetara’s lower half shows the double-hinged knee joints with their bright orange plastic peeking through the cuts, contrasting against the warmer peachy-tan tone of her upper legs. Her boots have a sculpted seam running down the back of each calf, and the reddish-brown plastic carries a slightly glossy finish compared to the matte texture of the leg plastic above.

Accessories

Cheetara’s full accessory spread is laid out here, including the large translucent orange flame effect piece, a blue-handled slingshot, the Mirror of Truth with its reflective face and gold frame effect, and both open and closed communicators on string cords. 3 pairs of additional interchangeable hands in a pale cream color offer grip, open, fist, and claw options, and the long gold metallic bo staff and a shorter gold peg piece round out the set.

Bo Staff

The long bo staff and the shorter bo staff peg are laid side by side, both finished in a warm gold metallic tone that has a subtle matte sheen to the plastic. The size difference between the two is significant, with the short peg piece measuring only a fraction of the full-length staff.

Cheetara is posed in an action stance with her long gold bo staff extended outward, and the running hairstyle head with its swept-back blonde hair and scattered cheetah spots adds a great sense of motion to the whole setup. The warm color gradient from her reddish-brown boots through the peachy-orange legs to the burnt orange leotard and yellow sleeves reads really well as a full-body composition.

Mirror of Truth

Cheetara also includes the Miror of Truth mirror accessory. This treasure of Thundera was featured in the cartoon series episode “Mirror of Truth”

According to Thundercats Wiki | Fandom :

Mirror of Truth is one of the pieces of the Treasure of Thundera. The mirror itself has a gold frame with the ThunderCats insignia on its back. As its name implies, the mirror has the ability to show the truth. The mirror eliminates any kind of disguise or illusion and reveals a person’s true identity.

Along with the other pieces of the Treasure of Thundera, the mirror was also lost on New Thundera. In order to locate it, Mumm-Ra devised a clever scheme in which he first turned the adult ThunderCats into ThunderCubs. Then, disguising himself as Lion-O, Mumm-Ra ordered the ThunderCub Cheetara to use her sixth sense to locate the mirror. When the real Lion-O arrives, he tells the ThunderCubs to look into the Mirror of Truth and it shows them their adult forms as well as revealing Mumm-Ra’s true identity.

Cheetara is posed with the Mirror of Truth held out in front of her, its gold hexagonal frame and reflective face catching the light while the blue handle and gold crossguard add a nice splash of color to the accessory. The scattered black cheetah spots on the back of her flowing hairstyle head and across her shoulder blend naturally with the warm yellow and tan tones of the figure.

Magical Flute

Cheetara also includes the Magical Flute accessory as well. A special looking flute with 2 prongs, this special treasure of was yet another treasure of Thundera. It was featured in the cartoon series episode “Magical Flute”

According to Thundercats Wiki | Fandom :

The Magical Flute is one of the pieces of the Treasure of Thundera. It looks like a normal flute but branches in the middle into two woodwind tubes. It also bears the ThunderCats insignia on it. The flute itself is made of shiny silver metal. The flute gives its player total control over all animals including Snarfs and Ma-Mutt. The flute was found by Cheetara on New Thundera.

Initially the ThunderCats in the form of ThunderCubs used the flute to play tricks on Snarf and Snarfer, but later on they used it to bring Ma-Mutt under control and stop him from attacking Lion-O. Even Snarf was able to use the flute on Ma-Mutt. Later on, Lion-O used the flute to make Ma-Mutt take him and Snarf back to Third Earth by piloting the Mumm-Ra.

Mirror of Truthhttps://thundercats-ho.fandom.com/wiki/Magical Flute | Thundercats Wiki | Fandom

Cheetara is posed holding her flute accessory, a small gray instrument with a Y-shaped forked top and a blue-tipped mouthpiece at the base. Her default flowing hairstyle head with its swept-up yellow hair and red facial markings pairs well with the more relaxed, character-specific moment this accessory calls back to from the animated series.

Here you can see Cheetara playing the magical flute in her appearance in the cartoon series.

Communicators

Two communicator accessories are shown here, both finished in a warm gold tone and connected by a dark string cord. The open communicator reveals a pink circular face surrounded by small teal dots along its rim, while the closed version features a sculpted emblem on its lid with cutout shapes that give it a nice dimensional quality.

Cheetara holds the open communicator out with its gold lid flipped back, revealing the pink face and the small teal jewel-like dots lining the rim. The dark string cord dangles freely from the accessory, and her reddish-brown gauntlet frames the piece nicely against her grip hand.

Cheetara holds the open communicator with its gold lid flipped back and the dark string cord hanging loosely, while her opposite hand grips the short gold bo staff at her side. Her default flowing hairstyle head with the swept-up yellow hair and scattered black cheetah spots pairs nicely with this more character-driven pose.

Flame Effect

The translucent orange flame effect piece has a warm, candy-like quality to the plastic, with deeper amber tones pooling toward the center where the material is thickest. Multiple curved prongs flare outward from a central stem, and I like the look of the organic, fluid sculpt on each tendril.

Alternate Hands

Four pairs of interchangeable hands are laid out here, each finished in a pale cream color with white peg connectors at the wrist. The set includes grip hands with curled fingers, open relaxed hands with spread digits, closed fists, and claw hands with fingers tensed inward, offering a solid range of display options for Cheetara.
