Super7 ULTIMATES Lion-O & Mumm-Rra Light Up Eyes Retro Cardback Toy Color SDCC 2026 Exclusives In Hand Review

Thunder, Thunder, Thunder, ThunderCats, HOOOOO! I have been waiting for this one, and let me tell you, holding it in hand does not disappoint. Super7 has taken their ULTIMATES! Lion-O & Mumm-Ra given them something truly special for SDCC 2026: LED light-up eyes and a gorgeous retro cardback presentation in toy-accurate colors that will make any child of the ’80s feel like they just ripped open a fresh package from the original LJN toy line. The toy color deco here is a love letter to the original LJN figures. We’re talking that slightly brighter, slightly more saturated palette that defined how so many of us first experienced Lion-O and Mumm-Ra as a physical objects in our hands. They are distinct from the animation-accurate colorways Super7 has done before, and seeing it rendered with modern sculpting and 27 points of articulation creates this really satisfying bridge between eras of collecting. And that retro cardback packaging? I know a lot of collectors are going to want to keep this one sealed just for how it looks on the card. It captures that nostalgic toy aisle energy perfectly, which makes it a tough call between displaying it packaged or cracking it open to get those LED eyes glowing on a shelf. Be sure to check out the Official images and purchase info at Super7 ULTIMATES Lion-O & Mumm-Ra Light Up Eyes Retro Cardback Toy Color Available Online! So let’s take a look at the Super7 ULTIMATES Lion-O & Mumm-Ra LED Light Up Eyes Retro Cardback Toy Color SDCC 2026 Exclusives in hand review!

Here a some fun shot showing off Lion-O’s LED light-up eyes in action, and the warm orange glow radiating from his face really sells the “sight beyond sight” effect in a low-light setting. Posed alongside Mumm-Ra the Ever-Living, who has his own chest emblem and eyes blazing with that same LED treatment, the two figures create an incredible confrontation where both light-up features feed off each other beautifully.

Where to Buy

You can preorder the figures at the following retailers below

Mumm-Ra the Ever-Living towers over Lion-O with his glowing chest emblem and piercing yellow eyes creating an entirely separate warm light source that plays off Lion-O’s amber glow. You can see how Mumm-Ra’s teal-green skin, red wrappings, and massive clawed feet give him a completely different visual language, with his wavy-bladed sword and broad machete adding a sense of savage scale that makes Lion-O’s Sword of Omens look almost elegant by comparison.

Mumm-Ra the Ever-Living’s wavy-bladed sword has a wonderful silver-to-blue gradient along its serpentine edge, and his glowing red chest emblem and piercing yellow LED eyes create a separate light source that washes his teal skin in contrasting warmth. Lion-O’s Sword of Omens catches a yellow beam of light streaming from his own blazing eyes, and the interplay between the two figures’ competing LED glows turns this entire confrontation into a clash of amber and gold that you really have to see in person to fully appreciate.

Light Up Eyes Retro Lion-O

For those of us who grew up watching Lion-O grow from a boy into the Lord of the ThunderCats aboard that crumbling flagship, there’s always been something iconic about those eyes. “Sight Beyond Sight” wasn’t just a power, it was one of the most visually striking moments in the entire show, those pupils blazing as the Sword of Omens revealed hidden truths. The accessory loadout is generous too. You get two pairs of interchangeable hands, three different Claw Shields, and both versions of the Sword of Omens in its short dagger form and fully extended. Plenty of options for posing him in that classic raised-sword rally cry or something more dynamic.

Packaging

The card art on this retro-style blister pack is a love letter to the original LJN packaging, with that iconic ThunderCats logo splashed across the top in fiery red and gold against a black card. I like how they included the classic cartoon illustration of Lion-O with his “Eyes Light Up!” callout, tucked alongside the clear plastic blister that holds the figure, his Sword of Omens accessories, Claw Shields, and interchangeable hands. Also the figure’s name label and font are a direct callback to the vintage LJN cardbacks!

Lion-O’s “Toy Color” variant really leans into that washed-out, pastel orange and powder blue palette that mirrors the original LJN plastic tones, and it’s a surprisingly effective throwback once you see it in the blister. You can see how the Claw Shield accessories and alternate hair piece are molded in that same translucent red-orange plastic, sitting alongside the short and long Sword of Omens, multiple swap-out hands, and a full set of extras that make this tray feel absolutely loaded.

Here’s a closer look at the upper portion of the card, and you can really appreciate how faithfully this captures that vintage LJN feel. The fiery gradient lettering pops against the matte black cardback, and that circular Lion-O portrait with the “sight beyond sight” beams shooting from his eyes is a perfect piece of cartoon-accurate artwork that instantly transports you back to 1985.

Here’s a closer look at the lower corner of the card, where a menacing illustration of Mumm-Ra in his red cloak and teal skin peeks out from the bottom edge of the packaging. This detail is reminiscent of the vintage card backs that would advertise a “Mail away” old man Mumm-Ra figure.

Something I appreciate here is how the “Toy Color” deco really comes together when you see the full figure in the blister, that warm pastel orange skin paired with the powder blue leotard is so perfectly evocative of how the original LJN figure actually looked straight out of the package in the ’80s. The ThunderCats emblem on his belt buckle carries that classic red and black color split, and even the deep blue of his boots reads like a direct pull from the vintage toy rather than the animated source material.

The back of the card features two cross-sell illustrations set against blue and purple gradient panels, with Lion-O on the left and Mumm-Ra the Ever-Living on the right, both rendered in that classic ’80s cartoon style that perfectly matches the vintage LJN packaging format. I like how the “COLLECT THEM ALL!” banner anchors the two portraits together, keeping the whole layout feeling like something you’d flip over in a toy aisle thirty-plus years ago.

Figure Details

Lion-O’s face sculpt has a stern, furrowed brow with those red facial markings framing his eyes, and his wild crimson hair fans out dramatically to both sides. His dark blue boots with white trim at the tops pair nicely against the warm orange of his skin tone, creating a color break that keeps the lower half of the figure visually interesting.

From this side profile, you can see how the blue leotard wraps around Lion-O’s torso with a clean edge where it meets the orange skin tone at the shoulders and hips. The silver belt buckle hardware and that tan pouch tucked against his waist add a nice bit of layered detail that breaks up the figure’s silhouette.

Here’s a closer look at Lion-O from the back, where the powder blue leotard covers his entire upper back with subtle sculpted contouring that follows the contours of the torso underneath. The dark navy belt wraps snugly around the waist with white piping along its edges, and the gold wrist cuffs on both forearms add a warm metallic accent that ties in nicely with the overall “Toy Color” palette.

From the side, you get a good sense of how Lion-O’s swept-back crimson hair has real volume and weight to it, with layered sculpted strands that taper to a sharp point at the back of his head. The gold wrist cuffs have a slightly matte finish that contrasts with the glossy orange of his skin, and those deep navy boots sit flush against the legs with a clean white trim line at the cuff.

This 7-inch scale figure comes decked out, complete with that wonderfully detailed sculpt Super7 is known for. The paint features a new colorway exclusive to this release, and the articulation across 27 points gives you plenty of posing options. What really sets this one apart, of course, is those LED eyes. Super7 leaning into that with actual LED light-up eyes on this figure is such a perfect choice, and the effect in person is just wonderful.

Lion-O’s glowing eyes really steal the show in this shot, with that warm amber light spilling across his furrowed brow and illuminating the red facial markings in a way that makes them look almost like war paint lit by firelight. The Sword of Omens sits tucked into his belt in its compact, dagger-length form, its silver coiled hilt and ring pommel adding a nice bit of metallic texture against the navy belt strap.

The Sword of Omens crossguard features a sculpted cat face medallion in silver, flanked by those curved red prongs that give the whole hilt an organic, almost ceremonial feel. I like how the warm glow from the LEDs just barely reaches the upper torso here, tinting the straps of the powder blue leotard with a faint orange warmth that fades as it moves further from the head.

Outfitted with the extended Sword of Omens, Lion-O’s LED eyes cast that fiery amber glow through his entire translucent crown piece, washing over his face and wild hair with enough intensity to illuminate the space around him. The Claw Shield’s chunky, organic sculpt picks up some of that warm reflected light along its curved prongs, and the powder blue leotard takes on a deeper, almost ghostly tone when surrounded by all that ambient orange.

The Sword of Omens’ silver blade extends to its full length here, and you can really appreciate how the long version dwarfs the compact hilt form shown in earlier shots. Paired with those blazing LED eyes throwing light in every direction, this is the “ThunderCats HO!” moment the figure was designed for.

The LED light-up eyes are absolutely stunning up close, with that warm amber glow pouring through the translucent plastic of Lion-O’s crown and hair, casting the entire head in an eerie, fiery wash of color. The Sword of Omens crossguard catches some of that reflected glow on its red and silver detailing, and the whole scene just nails that iconic “Thunder, Thunder, Thunder, ThunderCats HO!” moment.

Lion-O’s face is completely transformed here, with those LED eyes burning through the translucent plastic so intensely that the warm amber light bleeds all the way out to the tips of his sculpted hair, turning the entire head into a glowing ember. I noticed that the nose and chin details still hold their shape even under all that internal illumination, which is a testament to how well the translucent red-orange material balances light diffusion with sculpted definition.

Lion-O’s LED eyes send beams of warm amber light shooting horizontally outward, and you can see how that glow catches the edges of his jawline and upper chest, turning the white collar of his leotard into a soft reflective surface. The compact Sword of Omens hilt, with its coiled silver grip and small crossguard, is just barely caught in the lower frame, almost swallowed by shadow.

Light Up Eyes Retro Mumm-Ra

Ancient spirits of evil, transform this decayed form to Mumm-Ra, the Ever-Living! If there’s one villain who absolutely haunted my childhood in the best possible way, it’s Mumm-Ra. That raspy voice echoing through the Black Pyramid, those glowing red eyes piercing the darkness, the sheer dramatic flair of his transformation from a frail, bandaged figure into a towering force of evil. He was the perfect foil for Lion-O and the ThunderCats, and honestly, he scared me a little back in the day. Mumm-Ra’s glowing eyes are so iconic to the character that giving collectors a version with actual illuminated eyes feels like it was always meant to happen. Flipping them on and seeing Mumm-Ra’s gaze light up is such a satisfying little moment. It captures that eerie, supernatural energy the character radiates in every scene he’s in, and it looks absolutely stunning on a shelf with the lights dimmed.

Packaging

The retro card back on Mumm-Ra is a beautiful homage to the vintage LJN packaging, with that classic black card and the bold ThunderCats logo sitting right at the top in its familiar red, white, and gold gradient lettering. You can see how the blister tray lays everything out cleanly, with the Sword of Plun-Darr, interchangeable hands, and two vintage toy swords all nestled alongside the figure in its “Toy Color” green and red deco.

Here’s a closer look at the card back artwork, and I love how they carried over the vintage callout sticker showing Mumm-Ra’s green face mid-roar with those yellow light beams firing from his eyes, flanked by two coiling snakes. It’s a direct nod to the original LJN packaging art style, complete with bold yellow text promoting the LED light-up eye feature.

Mumm-Ra fills up the blister tray here, and what immediately grabs me is that muted sage green skin tone paired with the bright red bandage-like tendrils that snake out from his headdress and wrap around his torso. The red loincloth with its yellow trim, matching yellow shin guards, and those clawed yellow feet all pop against the green, nailing that vintage toy color palette the original LJN figure was known for.

The back of the card gives you a great look at the cross-sell artwork for the wave, with Lion-O on the left shown in his classic blue and red cartoon colors alongside all his accessories, and Mumm-Ra the Ever-Living on the right in his menacing teal and red deco, each framed in their own individual portrait window against purple gradient backgrounds. I like how they kept the illustration style loose and animated, matching the energy of the original 1985 packaging art rather than going for anything photo-realistic.

Mumm-Ra sits in the clear blister tray fresh out of the card back, and those bright red tendrils flowing from his headdress have a really nice sculptural weight to them, each one curving and overlapping with its own distinct path across his torso. I like how the brown leather-like shin guards have a layered, segmented sculpt that transitions cleanly into the furry yellow tufts just above his clawed feet. For the accessories, you’re getting three pairs of interchangeable hands, two vintage toy swords in both long and short versions, and the legendary Sword of Plun-Darr. That’s a generous spread of accessories that lets you set up some really dynamic shelf displays.

Here’s a closer look at the second tray of accessories. The Sword of Plun-Darr is the showpiece here, with its jagged, serrated black blade edges and those bright red ornamental links connecting the blade sections, while the smaller tray holds both vintage toy swords, a short dagger and a longer curved blade, alongside three pairs of swappable hands offering grip, open, and fist options.

Mumm-Ra Figure Details

Armed with the massive Sword of Plun-Darr, Mumm-Ra looks absolutely imposing at this scale, and those jagged black blade segments connected by the red ornamental links give the weapon a sense of real heft against his frame. I’m really digging the LED-ready red eyes glowing beneath those curved black horns, with the open-mouthed snarl showing off individually sculpted teeth and a glimpse of his red tongue.

Mumm-Ra’s chest medallion is a fantastic detail up close, sculpted as a circular red disc with a stylized face motif that mirrors the Ancient Spirits of Evil iconography, complete with curved horns and a small dangling element beneath it. The red headdress crowning his head features a sharp central fin flanked by two sweeping black horns, and you can see how the tendrils extend outward in every direction with a natural, wind-swept flow that adds so much visual chaos to the figure.

You can see how the profile view really highlights the layered construction of Mumm-Ra’s headdress, with that sharp central fin rising above the skull and the tendrils cascading down his back in thick, overlapping ribbons that have a real sculptural dimension to them. The black wrist cuffs and matching belt provide just enough contrast to break up the green and red color blocking, and those clawed toes have a surprising amount of individual definition with the yellow fur tufts sitting right at the ankle line.

Here’s a closer look at Mumm-Ra from the back, and the rear view really shows off how the red tendrils from his headdress drape and spread across his upper back, with each one sculpted to follow its own trajectory so they don’t just lay flat. The gold trim along the bottom edge of his loincloth catches your attention against the red fabric, and those segmented brown shin guards wrap cleanly around the calves with a small silver ring detail sitting right between the shoulder blades where the headdress meets skin.

From this side profile, I like how the red tendrils from Mumm-Ra’s headdress have enough sculptural depth that they cast their own shadows against his torso, creating a layered silhouette that really sells the chaos of the design. The yellow shin guards have a slightly glossy finish that separates them from the matte green skin tone, and you can just catch the open-mouthed snarl from this angle with his lower fangs jutting out past the jaw line.

A close-up reveals the incredible texture work on Mumm-Ra’s chest medallion, where the intertwined black serpent motif sits on a deep reddish-brown disc with just enough depth in the sculpt to give each snake head its own distinct form. The headdress features two black horns that curve inward and terminate in sculpted snake heads, a fantastic little detail that ties them directly to the serpent emblem below.

Here’s a closer look at Mumm-Ra’s lower half from the rear, and the red loincloth drapes with a sculpted fabric texture that has subtle folds and creases rather than sitting stiff and flat. The yellow fur tufts above his clawed feet have individually sculpted strands that fan outward in all directions, and each teal claw tapers to a fine point with clean separation between the toes.

Sporting both open-palmed hands spread wide, Mumm-Ra looks like he’s channeling the Ancient Spirits of Evil mid-invocation, and the red tendrils whipping out from his headdress sell the moment perfectly with their sculptural sense of motion. Those 27 points of articulation really earn their keep here, letting the arms, wrists, and fingers all work together to create a convincingly theatrical gesture that feels pulled straight from the animated series.

Outfitted with both a vintage toy sword and the shorter curved blade, Mumm-Ra cuts an imposing dual-wielding silhouette, and the contrast between the black machete-style blade and the slender silver dagger gives each weapon its own personality. The black wrist cuffs frame those clenched sage green fists perfectly, adding just enough visual weight to the forearms without competing with the red tendrils swirling around them.

Something I appreciate here is how the curved vintage toy sword fits naturally in Mumm-Ra’s grip, with that red cross-guard providing a sharp color pop against his sage green fingers and the dark blade sweeping upward in a wide, cleaver-like arc. The chest medallion and glowing red eyes anchor the composition from below, pulling your attention right into that open-mouthed snarl where each individual tooth has been given its own sculpted edge.

Mumm-Ra’s LED light-up feature is on full display here, with both his eyes and chest medallion glowing a fiery orange-yellow that cuts through the sage green skin tone with real intensity. I like how the glow from the medallion illuminates the intertwined black serpent design from within, turning what’s already a strong sculptural detail into something that feels almost alive.

The LED feature really comes to life when you kill the lights, and here you can see how the orange-yellow glow from Mumm-Ra’s eyes bleeds outward through the translucent red plastic of his headdress, bathing the entire upper half of the figure in an eerie crimson wash. The chest medallion radiates with the same inner fire, silhouetting those intertwined serpent heads as sharp black shapes against the warm glow, and the effect together transforms the figure into something genuinely unsettling on a shelf.
