Re: Thundercats! New and old
Has anyone seen this line of figures in Canada yet? I've searched every TRU, Wal-Mart and comic shop and still haven't seen anything.
I also agree that TRU and Wally world are, what seems to me, dropping the ball quite a bit in their toy departments. Sruff like Thor and Green Lantern are just hangin around forever. Seems to be a waste of time going hunting anymore.
I'm really hopin they make a newschool Driller figure though. He looked pretty sweet in episode 5.

I really don't see how anyone could have expected better from Bandai America. Everything I've seen from them, especially the Power Rangers, is stuck in the early 90s as far as quality. I was so disappointed when they got the Thundercats license.
However, I've been pleasantly surprised. The Thundercats Classics are actually much better than I expected, and probably the best figures Bandai America has ever made. But they still aren't perfect, especially Tygra.
I'm even satisfied with the 6 inch and 4 inch versions. 6 inch Lion-O is pretty neat, and I can't wait to find Cheetara. As a major TC fan, I'm going all out and buying all three scales. Needless to say I'm thankful for a temporary lag in new TF Generations!
My Walmart began their fall reset last week and had a few in stock, and TRU had a decent selection as well. I've got a fairly good collection started as a result.
I just received SDCC Lion-O too, and the paint job isn't quite as bad as some are saying. The sword stand is awesome!
Buy those Classics, guys! We need Cheetara and Panthro! And Bengali and Lynx-O! And Jaga!

Re: Thundercats! New and old
I was stoked when I realized they were making a new line to go with the new show. Some of them are good, some not so good. The main character look pretty good in the 4 in size except for Mumm-ra. He looks terrible. The Thundertank rocks and the idea of playing with the 4 in figures interacting with it is sweet. Classics Lion-O and Classics Tigra look great, I mean really great. The toys remind me of the recent classics Power Rangers Ban Dai made in the last year or two.

Re: Thundercats! New and old
I finally found a Classic Lion-O at TRU today. I was pretty stoked. Was beginning to think scalpers had snagged them all up.
Now that i have him out of package and poseing him, I'm VERY impressed with this figure. He just looks amazing!
Very poseable and the paint apps on mine are immaculate! He'll look great with my vintage Cheetara and Willykit.
I recommend that if and when you come across the figure that you buy it. You won't be disappointed. I'm quite pleased that Bandai released their Classic line along with the new line for the show. I'm not too fond of the new figures very much. I'm not knocking them but their not really my cup of tea.
I'm hoping they release a Cheetara and that the classic line doesn't fade away with only the two releases.

Re: Thundercats! New and old
Im curious. Now that they've all but destroyed my interest in the Classics line by reducing it to 6 inches to cater to the outcries of whiner crypants fan dorks that want to be able to have their Thundercats display well with their MOTUC figures, for whatever reason is beyond me.
Will there be a Cheetara figure? By that i mean a true "classics" figure. One that looks like her from the original series?
From what i've seen through perusing the web, are only 6 inch new school Cheetara and Panthro figures that i think are to be released as "classics". Anybody have any info about this?

Re: Thundercats! New and old
Isn't the show lasting for the rest of the year?
Both the toy line and series are awesome, hope it doesn't go away. I was having a ball when they Targets around my area had all the 4 inches marked down on clearance.

I have no idea as of right now if there will be another season since it looks like Bandai is going to kill off the line

She's also got exposed shoulder rivets and sub-par paint apps on her limbs.

Re: Thundercats! New and old
It will be a real shame if the show is cancelled. It was an EXCELLENT update and really deserves a longer run and time to catch a little more attention and momentum. At least 3 seasons would be nice...........minimum.
A classics Cheetara figure would have been nice as well.

I'd rather see a second season than more toys. 'sides, they don't sell them anyway where I live (except online, not even all figures, and most of those are UK imports).
The first season was great, they should go on with that.
