So does everything else created on planet earth. It has nothing to do with his "character design". Super 7 used bare plastic that seems almost semi-translucent. Both photos you've shown are lo-res, quickpics in crappy lighting.

Once I have the Deluxe version in hand I'll know if it's the same version as the one displayed at SDCC. Again, the body on glow eyes looks the same as this. Both are unpainted. Both are very similar colors.

I think they used that group art since it's the more recognizable art worldwide used in albums, lunch boxes, etc... It's the core group of characters so we should should expect those to come as deluxe since most of the casual fans are familiar with Toa...

I just made this montage of pictures to see if there's any difference in coloring between both versions and I have to say there's non... Only difference are the eyes!

Sure doesn't look like it.

I think I'm going to paint the entire figure. I have a May Thamtarana (MayShelf/SculptorShelf) head I have to paint anyway. While kind of true to the source material the skinfur is a little light for me.

EDIT: Added a pic of May's painted piece from his FB. That furskin color looks better to me.

That's more like the original figure from Mattel and Super 7...

Very nice.

Do Thundercats sweat or pant?
