A Villain Worthy of the Ages
When it comes to iconic 80s villains, few stand as fearsome and memorable as Mumm-Ra the Ever-Living. His booming voice, grotesque transformation, and undying hatred for the ThunderCats made him a staple of Saturday morning cartoons. Now, Super7 brings us a striking new version of Mumm-Ra with their ThunderCats Ultimates! Mumm-Ra (Black & Red) 7-Inch Action Figure.
This isn’t just another Mumm-Ra figure—this one demands attention with its bold black and red color scheme, bringing a new intensity to Third Earth’s greatest villain. Whether you’re a longtime ThunderCats collector or just getting into the Ultimates line, this is one Mumm-Ra you don’t want to miss.
Mumm-Ra: The Ancient Evil of Third Earth
Before we dive into the figure, let’s take a moment to appreciate the legacy of Mumm-Ra.
Mumm-Ra isn’t just another Saturday morning villain—he’s a terrifying undead sorcerer who has spent millennia scheming and plotting the downfall of the ThunderCats. His hideous, mummified form conceals his true power—when he calls upon the Ancient Spirits of Evil, he transforms into Mumm-Ra the Ever-Living, a monstrous, nearly invincible warlord.
- First appeared in ThunderCats (1985), created by Rankin/Bass.
- His mummy form is weak, but in Ever-Living form, he becomes a near-unstoppable force.
- His lair, the Black Pyramid, is one of the most sinister locations in 80s animation.
- One of the most recognizable villains of the decade, rivaling Skeletor and Megatron.
Over the years, Mumm-Ra has been reimagined in comics, toys, and modern reboots, but his original look remains legendary.
