Like many of you, I wasn't too impressed when Super 7 unveiled their Three Terrors figures. There was something off about them and I had just endured the ending of Mattel's side of Masters of the Universe Classics. Maybe I had some action figure fatigue. Either way, I skipped them. I was a fan of the their Curse of the Three Terrors short. It wasn't perfect but I liked the idea of a new ancient faction of undead warriors and their new hidden leader that was teased.
The new Savage World Thundercats, however, has really reinvigorated my vintage figure spirit so I decided to finally pick these up. Super 7 has them on their site for $20 apiece. Wow, was I wrong to delay on these figures.

First off, I have to give props to Super 7 for how these were packaged. The bubble tears easily away from the card, leaving minimal damage to the art. Once out of package, these guys blew me away. They. Are. Vibrant. The colors really pop on all of these guys, just beautiful. The head sculpts, that at first left me scratching my head, now really kick start my imagination. I wish that I had an army of these undead warriors as a kid for He-Man and Battle Cat to tear through in a valiant effort to save Eternia from a Zombie Apocalypse. I love the red Skeletor eyes and the appearance of rotting flesh.
These guys use rubber bands, which I love, for the legs but the rubber bands are not the super thick variety that Mattel once utilized. They are more like the thickness of G.I. Joe rubber bands. In other words, these undead demons won't survive a lot of playtime. I still think they are pretty cool.

Now the question is: do I stick with three or go the army builder route?
