What you never heard of Lion-O's distant cousin from Tundera?Toonimator said:"TunderCats"?
I agree 100% with Dubya here. These will not be Matty quality, I am envisioning Power Rangers with wild hair.TheRealDubya said:My expectations are extremely low. I was pretty disappointed that Mattel and the 4H didn't get it, and I have never seen a Bandai toy that got me excited.
Plus, I think this will be aimed at children.
If Bandai subbed out the "Classic" contract and production to Matty Collector (ala Hasbro and Sideshow and the 12" line) then I would be happy.
I don't follow... you say they won't be as good as the 4 Horsemen but then compare what they might be like to a line that the 4 Horsemen designed...acave said:They won't be as good as the 4 Horsemen. I say more in the range of DC universe and Marvel Universe 3.75 line.
I know, but she's a female character and we all know how that turns out...JediKnutt said:There's a Cheetara figure in the pics.
Mattel did a similar initial release with He-Man & Beast-Man to test the MOTU Classics market.Masterfett said:I know, but she's a female character and we all know how that turns out...JediKnutt said:There's a Cheetara figure in the pics.
Plus the fact in the press statement they were only releasing Lion-O and Tygra first to test the waters, so how does one test the water on only two figures anyways.
And, it should be noted that the "water testing" is only for the adult collector targeted "Classic Line."Harbinger said:Mattel did a similar initial release with He-Man & Beast-Man to test the MOTU Classics market.Masterfett said:I know, but she's a female character and we all know how that turns out...JediKnutt said:There's a Cheetara figure in the pics.

Thanks for that, very cool...It's definitely a new generation of Thundercats!elkkthunder said:new pics from bandai
Lion-O and more
Agreed, I love the classic looks (and am more excited for the new Classics line than anything), but the original character designs are very dated today. I think the new designs look great for a modern Thundercats update. Hopefully the show will be great as well!Toonimator said:Better "samurai-ish" than "Spandex undies, no pants, showin' off abs, big poofy hair". They look okay so far, but it's Bandai, so I worry that what we see in the photos won't be what we get (like their Teen Titans Go figures, and several Ben10 figures, featuring highly-articulated photos of the figures, but bland low-articulation figures in the bubbles more often than not)
