For those in the know -- Wave 6 of Super7's SilverHawks included four "toy color" figures as well as a bonus Super Pack of alternate head sculpts. But I'm confused about Bluegrass. It appears that his figure came packaged with a smirking/winking alternate head, but that exact same head (as far as I can tell) is also in the Super Pack. Can anyone confirm, or are these two heads different in some way (see pics).
...that consisted of Top Spinner, Ram-Bam, Tug-Mug, and Turmagar, then what single character would you feel was the biggest omission in the ThunderCats Ultimates line?
I just finished reading the junior novelization of the Masters of the Universe movie last night. I was hoping the book might have some additional details left out of the movie, and there were a few. Spoilers ahead if you haven't seen the movie.
- After Prince Adam arrives on earth, he speaks briefly of "a nice family" taking him in, of attending school and then college. Apparently he spent a gap year in Ireland and briefly worked for DoorDash.
- Adam's roommate's name is Hussein. (I don't think the movie ever reveals his name.)
- Teela briefly mentions Shadow Beasts.
- When Adam sees Trap Jaw for the first time and calls him "Trap-Jaw," Teela corrects him by saying "Kronis." (This is something I wish the movie had done in the several instances whenever Adam used a made-up name for someone.)
- At one point, Adam attempts to use a blaster against Trap-Jaw, and Trap-Jaw bites it in half.
- As Adam, Duncan, Teela, and Roboto are making their trek toward Snake Mountain, Duncan suggests sticking to the mountain pass. Adam says that this will take too long, and insists that they use the Snake Tunnels instead, which he states were built by the Snakemen thousands of years ago. (The book states more than once that Adam was very good at learning Eternian geography.)
- When Evil-Lyn is escorting Teela, Duncan, and Roboto to their cell in Snake Mountain, Teela tries to convince Evil-Lyn that Skeletor is simply using her. Evil-Lyn responds that she is using Skeletor until the time is right for her. There is a brief exchange about living under men in power, and the dialog ends with Evil-Lyn saying she enjoyed their chat, and maybe in the future they can talk about something else besides men.
- The battle inside Snake Mountain takes place in Skeletor's "Hall of Unequivocal Triumph" in which he has several trophies displayed, one of which is a giant yellow gorilla. (Likely a nod to Gy-Gor.)
A few notes on the book itself:
- The entire story is narrated by Adam, which means there are many times where he's describing scenes he did not witness. The book waves this away by having Adam say, "I wasn't there, but I was later told..." or "I didn't witness this, but if I had to guess, this is what happened..." It's pretty illogical, especially when describing scenes like Pigboy waking up Skeletor... Who would have later told Adam about this moment?
- Very frustratingly, and inexplicably, the book ends abruptly right after the fight inside Snake Mountain. He-Man blasts the ceiling with his sword, causing rocks to fall around the room, and Adam has a moment where he realizes just how powerful he is. THE END. No death of Randor (the only death in the movie that also happens in the book is Moss Man), no final battle inside Grayskull. No nods to anything revealed in the end credits scenes.
