• I could dig a Mattel-borne Thundercats line, particularly if they were of a scale that would make them compatible/look good with MOTUC figures.

• setting my "Reaction Guys" meme (enlighten yourself here: http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/reaction-guys-gaijin-4koma ) if this is the birth of a much rumored, much debated, much nerdgasmed live action movie: YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!! if this is just a ploy to milk more money from a dead cow, or like rob said, a chance to test the waters if anybody still gives a crap about Thundercats: -sits in silence-

• It's not like the Thundercats toys from back in the days were any good. Have you seen them since the 1980's? They were fucking awful!

• well this sounds like its gonna take the action out of action figure ! if you are gonna make them like that call them statues and let the birds have fun with them!

• no doubt the staco's are a way to test the waters to see if there is enough support for thunder cats figures. and if they prove there is then no doubt Mattel and dcdirect will be allowed first crack at the thunder cats toy line. Mattel would be cool to see the four horseman work their magic on them espically what they could to Mumra. we just have to wait and see how the Staco's do and if they are the key to thunder cat figures even after the characters being out of the light for 20 years

• Yeah, a Thundercats article wouldn't be complete without an Abraxas comment. :)

• My money's on Mattel doing the figures sometime soon. I've been waiting for new figures for so long, and I think that's the only company I want doing them. I just pray they never (or only) come out in 3.75"

• Is it just me, or did Thundercats begat Juggalo Furries?

• What about Hard Hero's line of full-size Thundercats statues? It seems weird that they would license some to Hard Hero and then now some to Icon Heroes. Wouldn't WB see how they sold from the Hard Hero line?

• This makes me feel better. The info I got previously was at about the same time as Warner's did that "Loonatics" cartoon, and was about as drastic a change from the original. It did not give me warm fuzzies about the idea.

• Just wait one more year. That's all I'm gonna say.

• The reasoning given in the explanation is sound and exactly what I had thought of. I won't dispute it.

• I've seen concept art for the new cartoon. Stuff that's definitely not online because someone would get fired if it were posted. Its fucking awesome. I don't know how far into production WB is with it or if its shelved or not, but I hope the damn thing comes out.

• I think I know what you're talking about. it must have been back, er, 2003? when they came out with a revived comics series. I didn't mind the new designs as most of the characters looked hot and, really, what else do you want in your vaguely humanoid cat people? a new animated show would have been great; loved to have known what direction they'd be going. maybe finally get Tygra out of that damn closet :P

• There was a point a few years ago where I was working with a company that was trying to get action figure rights for ThunderCats. The holdup at the time was apparently that Warner's had a new, "updated" version that they wanted to push, and in order to get one, you had to take both, and they wanted a premium for both of them. Reports at the time were that the re-vamped characters were pretty hideous, and there was supposed to be a new cartoon to go with them that never materialized. However, all this information came from someone whom I typically trust about as much as I can throw (even though I believed him at the time), so take that for what it is.

• I'd like to see Hasbro land this action figure license and rock a 3.75" main line with 6" exclusives. "Staction"...ugh. There are few things worse.

• If they give shitty Mattel the Thudercats license and sell them through shitty Mattycollector.com, I'll eat my shitty hat.

• I want some Thundercats Classics. I'd love to see what the 4 Horseman might come up with.

• by the way, Rob, if you're interested, I'd love to send you an autographed copy of the manual. no Thundercats collection is truly complete without it.

• damn, after 20 years? on the other hand, I wonder what compromising positions I can put these figures into? does Snarf come with the manual and do they have balloon accessories per chance?
