Official ThunderCats 2011 Toys Discussion Thread

Check out how the "ThunderLynx" feature works! It's a whole lot better than the chip technology they were using in the MOTU 200X!

This line is going to rock!

Did the Bandai rep say that the lizard toy was Ssslithe's henchman?

[Sandman]

Sheesh guys, you act as if I make up malicious rumors. :P

In the interview, the rep from Bandai specifically says the 8" "Classic" Thundercats figures will be released two per year. So Lion-O and Tygra for 2011, 2 more for 2012 etc.

You guys are crazy jumpy.

I heard that to. Don't worry Sandman I got your back.

[Count Marzo]

im i the only one that sees this line going the same way as the way of the Masters 200X

Nope. I feel that way as well. Except they are 10 years too late on their "hyper anime revamp fad".

I didn't mean to sound like I was attacking you, I just didn't hear that part. However, I also heard him say, don't worry, we won't leave you guys hanging. Take that for what it is, but I really don't think the classics aren't going to be dependent on the new line.

[BattleCat81]

lord...I'm gonna go broke with this line

like I said before, collectors 6in, classics 8in, vehicles and playset are the only ones I'm getting

[AnnnaMot]

Well considering the 1st ones will be out in November I expect them to up it to 4 per year in 2012. Right now they have to go with the lowest possible they can sell because it's s retailer summit. But if Power Rangers are any indication it will take a miracle to keep them at just 2 figs per year

My issue is more with the people or the popular belief that we have to wait and see how sales go ala Mattel. Bandai works more like Hasbro where they make product and find a place to sell it instead of letting retail dictate what gets made

[Bonehead]

they showed grune as well. He doesn't look too bad. overall i am liking the new style.

Grune though isn't part of the Mutants.

Ok, since they posted that the "Classics" figures will be made slowly and released throughout the line, that means that getting a complete "classic" Thundercats collection is dependent on how well the rest of the line does.

...I have this sinking feeling it'll collapse after one or two waves and Lion-O and Tygra will be the only "classic" styled figures released.

Two per year is just too slow IMO. Let's face it, at 2 per year it'll take almost 6 years just to get all the major heroes. The odds of Bandai doing all the TC and the major bad guys is slim to none.


I was hoping for at least all the Cats, Mutants, and Mum-Ra.


I'd kill for some Lunataks too but I'm not getting my hopes up yet.

THANK GOD!!

[Son of Keldor]

they look cool but i won't be picking these up, i hope the cartoon does well i'm looking forwardto watching that.

i was thinking of picking up the classic line of figs and just might if they only do a few a year depending on price point and the look of them?

=)

[Orko's Magic Hat]

sigh..... I'm going to be so broke by the end of this year - it's depressing.

[Shredder]

disco mumm-ra?

way off on the line.. disco ray stants, punkified Egon Spengler, Goth Peter Venkman, and In the Hood Winston....

Lots of videos of the ThunderCats booth:

Here a couple of pics of the crosssell part of the new figures' cardbacks. There are artist renderings of WilyKit, WilyKat, and Slithe. Slithe looks much more like himself, adding additional confirmation to what others have alraedy stated with that other figure just being one of his henchmen or whatever.

I dunno about kit and cat, but slythe and mumm-ra thankfully where not changed much and are gonna look cool animated. Super long fingers on slythe look a bit weird though.

Kit and Kat...anyone think they look 4 or 5? much younger than their first incarnations..

Am I the only one unable to see the pics?

[RocketPunch]

I can't see them either.

I think they are trying to prevent hotlinking. Try this:

Thanks.

Wily Kit & Wily Kat look like toddlers. I thought the reason why Snarf isn't supposed to talk in this is because they wanted to make the show more "mature"?

[King Kahn]

Grune though isn't part of the Mutants.

new series new rules :P PLUS he has mumm-ra's symbol on him now which makes him part of mumm-ra's faction now.

[TrimmTrabb]

I have to admit that I'm warming up to almost every new design. Those 6" figures look really nice, too!

[Krueger]

Slithe is looking very nice. Can't wait to see a figure of him.
