Not only that they feel cheap on a quality statue. I HATED the fact that the SS Arthas had some crappy plastic hatch on the bottom.

ABOUT THIS STATUE
“Fortune favors the bold.”

Sideshow presents the Cheetara Statue, a bold new addition to the ThunderCats Collection.

Cheetara the Swift measures 15.5” tall as she lunges into battle atop a clawed Cats’ Lair inspired base. She holds her bo staff behind her in this dynamic, energetic pose showcasing the grace and strength of this fierce female Thunderian noble.

The polystone Cheetara Statue features a stylish sculpted costume that draws inspiration from her classic cartoon appearance with an updated aesthetic for Sideshow’s ThunderCats collection. As a dexterous fighter and weapons expert, Cheetara is clad in a yellow and orange jumpsuit detailed with striking silver accents and a red ThunderCats crest. She has feline features, including clawed hands and feet with protective gauntlets and greaves as well as cheetah spots on her hair and shoulders. Around her neck is a gold-colored choker, and her fierce red eyes are surrounded by Cheetara’s signature orange facial markings.

Pair Cheetara with the Lion-O Statue and have them face off for the fate of Thundera against the evil Mumm-Ra Statue as a part of Sideshow’s exciting ThunderCats collection!

The Exclusive Edition of the Cheetara Statue includes a light-up feature in the eyes. Activate Cheetara’s mysterious sixth sense with this exclusive figure.

ThunderCats are loose- in your collection! Act swiftly and don’t miss your chance to bring home the Cheetara Statue for your own lair of epic ThunderCats collectibles.

Sideshow does NOT make it clear that the EX version will not include the regular head and I think it is deceptive. Or is this amateur hour at Sideshow or they just don't feel the need? Thanks to others on this forum for pointing these type of things out.

If I compare a sample from XM's page from a different piece:

The Darkseid (Rebirth) Premium Collectibles statue features:

Two (2) Right Arm: 1 holding Superman’s battered cape, 1 with clenched fist.
Two (2) Headsculpt
Battlefield base showing signs of Justice League in battle with Darkseid.
Crafted in cold cast porcelain.
Each painstakingly handcrafted statue is individually hand-painted with the highest possible quality finish
ES: 399


Or Prime One:

Specifications:
Statue Size approx. 35 inches tall [H:87.8cm W:73.3cm D:57.8cm
Head Stand Bust Size approx. 8 inches tall [H:20.7cm W:13.2cm D:10.5cm]
One (1) specially designed base
LED light-up feature on base
Three (3) Head Stands Bust
Four (4) Alternate Portraits (Normal, Bruce Wayne, Clenched jaw, Smirk)
Three (3) Swappable Left Hand Parts (Grappling Hook, Batarang, Gripped Hand)
One (1) Early Pre-Order Bonus Portrait (Limited to 999pcs)



Or maybe Sideshow just doesn't want to commit and leave their options open. Yeah buddy...
Thank you for that fantastic post! YES! XM and Prime One are MUCH more clear. Even the customer service people at Sideshow were in the dark about this. And now people are wondering if the non-light up will be plastic. I hope that it's not, but I have the Lion-O light up and the eyes just don't look as nice as the regular version. You can tell they're supposed to be light up eyes. Even if the normal head is plastic, I'd prefer the non-light up anyway.

C’mon Sideshow. Everyone knows! Two heads are better than one!

What, no tandem shot with Lion-O in the promo pics? Lol

Cheetara came out looking pretty solid. Shame this series will end with her because they messed up on the lead hero.

Even if Lion-O was a home run, slim chances for SS to complete the team. Sad to say. I learned that from the X-Men statues. And I knew it when Danger Girl and GotG came around.

Sideshow is notorious for not completing statue lines. With prices continually rising, it's difficult to spend the money on some of these when you know a group/team will be incomplete.
