Bandai Thundercats: what (if anything) did you buy?

[Phil.Pastel]

For $40, I could have gotten Lion-O AND Tygra at retail and still had change left over. You're basically paying $40 for the vac-metal Sword of Omens and stand.

Yeah, I got them both for less than $20. However, I do think the metallic armor looks cool. That wash really ruins the figure.

[Count Marzo]

None.

Mezco > Bandai

[Phil.Pastel]

They're definitely bigger

Nevertheless, I can't believe you guys aren't into the Storm Charger. What a fantastic vehicle.

I have a 4" and a 6" Lion-O.....

[Galmorzu]

I was unlucky enough to buy a couple of the 4" figures. Mumm-ra and Cheetara.

Both figures felt incredibly cheap, rattled, and just looked like happy meal toys. Mumm-ra actually would just fall apart if I looked at him funny. Pieces I thought would have been sculpted were just poorly pegged onto the figure.

The articulation was awkward and poor, forcing the legs into poses that didn't really do anything. Both of them could not really hold their weapons, as their hands were only posed in the "holding something" way, but only VERY loosely. For example, Cheetara's staff just slips from her hand in any pose other then resting the butt of it on the ground.

I eventually just tossed both of them and had no despire whatsoever to get any more from that company. Which is okay, because I really never saw anything other than the first wave or two this whole time.

I grabbed the 8" Classic Lion-O at Marshalls last week.....

[Phil.Pastel]

I've heard people are finding stuff at Marshalls. My Marshalls has never really had squat. I do get stuff at Ross but nothing at Marshall.

I got:

8" Lion-O Classic
8" Tygra Classic
6" Mumm-Ra Classic
6" Lion-o Classic

[Phil.Pastel]

It really saddens me that so many people went only for the classics figures. I started off interested only in the classics figures, but after buying everything and checking out the cartoon, I can honestly say the modern stuff is the best part of my collection. The 6" modern figures are great. The 4" modern figures aren't quite as great, but the vehicles are fabulous.

Speaking of which, I'm frustrated right now. My local Walmart has 7 thundertanks at $21 each. I would really like to get one to open. Mark the damn things down already

[Mern-Ra]

There should have been an option for just the role-play Sword Of Omens. I bet that would have gotten a lot of votes!

[Phil.Pastel]

I forgot about the role play weapons. Probably because I had no interest in them.

I would have picked up the sword, but I think it looks goofy being segmented.

[krosfyah]

I bought nothing. not a big fan of the property and I HATED the sculpts on the modern figures. The classics looked alright but I hate the design of the classic characters. (I may get the mezco mummra and panthro for my museum though)

[Phil.Pastel]

You're breaking my heart

What's the alternative, at least at retail? Comic book characters piled on top of more comic book characters. How many spider-man figures do we need, anyway????

This is a great line, the vehicles are awesome. I absolutely love the Storm Charger and the Thundertank

[MrRoboto]

Bought the Classics Thundercats in Lion-O and Tygra. Now i need Mumm-Ra... What a shame Bandai didn't produce more Classics figures.

[Phil.Pastel]

Eh, I was first interested in the Classics more than the modern stuff, but that did not last long.

I would trade the classics they made for more modern stuff. Give me a Tookit figure (with magic bag) any day over the 8" tygra, or an elephant instead of 6" Lion-o.
