Battle Cat-Man and Cheetara are packaged on the standard Origins-style bluster card, with the appropriate logo’s on top, exploding rocks on the front, and the back includes more great artwork showcasing Castle Grayskull, Lion-O and Skell-Ra. Shown below that is a look at Lion-O’s sheath as the Sword of Omens can be stored on the back, and images of Lion-O, Cheetara, and Battle Cat-Man.
Cheetara comes in all-new armor designed for this specific release, which is a dark metallic blue finish with the ThunderCats logo on the chest in red and a black Cat’s Lair head. The armor is also given some sculpted details, and she also includes a light grey piece hanging down the center. The boots are orange, with light grey cuffs, along with black straps, and she has a bracelet on her right wrist, and a holster for the short staff on the left forearm.
The head sculpt includes some great facial details, with nicely done painted eyes, along with orange eye shadow around them. The crown includes the Eye of Thundera, and the hair is all one piece.
Cheetara also includes a long staff, which she can hold the small one, or the long one in her open grip left hand. Once the armor is removed, she comes in her classic 1980’s appearance, with an orange tank top, yellow pants, interchangeable orange boots, and a yellow left sleeve. A new hair piece is also included and can be swapped out, and she has spots on her hair, neck and shoulder.
