• t's interesting that she's sandwiched between two pretty heavy hitters in the world of children's entertainment with the Thundercats and Care Bears. Maybe they weren't a big deal yet? Maybe Marvel was trying to up Misty's ..

• Thundercats are irrelevant, I demand MUMM-RA.

• Tygra and Panthro look alright. Lion-o looks like a metrosexual. Cheetara...what the fuck? Skanky crackwhore meth addict? And isn't she supposed to be a runner? Yeah, super cleavage and low rise can't go above her asscrack whore pants will help her aerodynamically, won't it? And since when was ultimate cleavage considered appropriate for a kiddie sh...oh, right, cause the network isn't expecting anyone younger then 35 to actually watch this show. It reminds me of the He-Man revival and Teela had herself a stellar thong under her skirt. No shit! I wonder when CN is gonna start selling ad space to beer companies and tax attorneys?

• I was at the UK Toy Fair, and those toys are indeed awesome. I don't dig the 3.75" scale, but the TC figures looked really sharp. The sword of omens was pretty sweet, too.

• ancient spirits of evil, transform this decayed form, to mumm-ra, the ever living! *huaaaarrrgghhhhhh*

• ancient spirits of evil, transform this decayed formmm, to mumm-ra, the EVER LIVING! *huaaaaaaarrrghggghhhhhhhh*

• "Oh no! They changed it, now it sucks?" Let's be honest here, the love we had for the Thundercats is based solely on nostalgia. I recently acquired the entire series, and let me tell you: while a lot of it was awesome, the campiness DID NOT AGE WELL. Don't get me wrong, I will forever remember watching this after school with great fondness, but I would also enjoy seeing what a new perspective could do for the franchise. That being said, I'll approach this series with cautious optimism. Remember Super Friends in the 80's? Awesome, right? Now think of Timm's Justice league.

• That'd be nice. I don't care for the design of the toy. It doesn't even appear to match the one in the screen shot, which as far as I can tell is virtually identical to the original. The crosspiece on the toy is wrong. It should be straight across at the bottom, not projecting downwards toward the hand. Possibly it was part of allowing it to extend, but still looks wrong.

• I love the new toys and the look of the new cartoon designs. Going to buy doubles of every figue, 3.75" and 6", not sure about the collectors pieces as it'll depend on money. Seeing the Thundertank box reminds me of the old one and how I seen it one night in a shop back when I was 4 or 5 and my pparents bought it for me :)

• For my first post ever on this website, I will just say this: If there is any justice in the world, Panthro will be voiced by Beau Billingslea.

• It looks really "manga'd" up... which is happening to pretty much everything, but still... yeah, I know the original was animated in Japan... but didn't blatantly look like it. And whats with being more critical of the MIT hologram of Princess Leia than this? A real technological breakthrough in star wars tech...

• Believe it or not, I never watched Thundercats during its original run, but, these days, I keep finding the old DVD boxes for cheap, so ... I have been catching up, and I have to say that a new cartoon does not hurt my feelings in the least. Got to keep the lineage going, right? (Anybody remember the Rebirth comic from a few years back, BTW?)

• I love the new designs. I'll admit Lion-o look a little too anime,but I can live with that. I think I creamed myself when I saw these. And just when I thought my wallet would get a break this fall because I wouldn't have to buy any Bayformers now I gotta get these and the collector versions.

• Looking forward to seeing this but inital impressions are that Panthro's muttonchops looks a bit stupid and Cheetara looks like a really, really tired teenage hooker. Messy hair, bad make-up... Yeesh.

• Cheetara looks a lot like Emily Haines from Metric: http://bit.ly/hzpKUZ

• No snarf at all? whats become o the little fellow?

• Today, the part of Panthro will be played by Jet Black from Cowboy Bebop.

• I was going to tell you to keep it in your pants...but we all know you're far past that point. Also I've only watched a handful of episodes generally while I'm doing something else. I'll never get to love it like you do Dr. Abra.

• well Panthro was always pimp. and Cheetara, with those color patches around the eyes...well like I said she's a wilder Cheetara. also RE: Cheetara... in the words of the Immortal Bard... zounds what mounds

• Hmm. I have no thoughts on Lion-O or Tygra. But I say with some certainty that Cheetara looks like a bingeing hooker strung out on heroin, and Panthro looks like the pimp's body-man.

• This has been the greatest post ever, just for getting the good Dr. so excited. I'm digging the new look and will DVR the fuck out of this show.

• How the hell is Cheetara going to run with those things? She's gonna knock herself silly. Or at least suffer two black eyes...

• Thunder Cats? More like Thunder Street Preformers! "Lion-O looks too anime for me". You do know that before cheap Korean animation, American's turned to cheap Japanese Animation [before it was known as "anime"]. Yeah, just read the credits for Thunder cats, and you'll see the Japanese names of the people that animated it. Well, that would explain why Cheetara was nude in the fist episode...

• The only thing that is a little meh for me is that Lion-O looks a little plain compared to the others. Even still, he's WAY better than I expected. Otherwise, I love everybody's new look! What will be interesting to me is the voice acting? I wonder if they'll go with another throaty/deep voice for Cheetara or if they'll go with something lighter.

• Panthro has muttonchops like Zach Oat. AWESOME! =D

• This made me laugh, thank you.

• I gotta say—and I was never even a Thundercats fan, as a kid—those figures like promising as hell, and they even included Cheetara. So...y'all do realize that about 80% of the manufacturing run is going to be Snarf, and then Bandai's going to wonder why they aren't selling anything, right? Tis the way of things. :(

• The gun's for putting down experiments that go awry. What, you've never read "Reanimator"? ;D

• Panthro looks ready to tap that.

• I didn't think it was possible to make Cheetara hotter. I stand corrected.

• I like the designs for the most part, but I can't tell if Panthro is black or not. If he is voiced by a white guy it will be a great injustice.

• Serious fan service there on Cheetara. I'm guessing there will be about a billion rule 34 pics of the new Thundercats by this time tomorrow.

• Tygra/Panthro am I rite? also, isn't Snarf inherently more evil than MummRa? indeed, if you think about it, MummRa isn't evil at all. my case: 1. for thousands of years MummRa stays quiet in his Pyrammid 2. it's not until the Thundercats invade his planet and attempt to impose their Thunderian Code that he awakens 3. clearly, he's only acting to stop their invation. ergo - MummRa, misunderstood anti-hero

• How is her Oh have you noticed my cleavage? pose working for you?

• Cool? I've just started watching ThunderCats, because why not? I have the channel that plays it..

• If it isn't Mumm-Ra, I don't care.

• If by wilder you're inferring meth abuse, then yes. She looks much wilder. Hopefully she has all her teeth...

• I will try to ignore Cheetara's slutterific attire to laugh at the no photograph sign. XD

• think of it this way - she's got plenty of retail space to pursue her love of balloon popping if you know what I mean.

• I am probably the only one that thinks this - but I am not liking that Cheetara is so busty. I like that she is sleek and slender - that is kind of how cheetahs are, but the balloons there just look so awkward. I know a lot of people put down smaller breasts, but I think they would fit her and make her look a lot more athletic than the white orbs in this picture.

• oh Mummsies and I go way way back! he's already got my mind body and soul.

• Lion-O's eyes....too big...makes him look waaay to young (and girlish) for my liking, everyone else, pretty awesome. Cheetara was probably my first girl-crush. ...yeah <.<

• The Ancient Spirits of Evil need to speak with you,there is a contract they'd like you to sign...

• dear god i laughed so hard at this.

• would you rather be a fan of guys with asymmetrical leotards (Tygra), guys with bare midriffs (Liono) or tough but sweet bald guys (Panthro) or Snarf/Snarfer? thank your lucky stars you got off easy.

• they don't talk? HA! somebody DID real the Esnovelotoris Amateuris!

• Thinking it could have been worse coming from the TF Animated production studio. Make of what you will of Transformers Animated I wasn't very excited with the show after the first dozen or so episodes. The 3.75" figs look very toon inspired like a lot of the new Cartoon Network shows from Secret Saturdays to Ben 10 to Young Justice. The male characters haven't taken that much of a downgrade from their original versions and I've heard Snarf doesn't speak in this show which is the plus. He is super annoying in the original its almost unwatchable to me. I need a Thundercats Without Snarf edit to watch the show. Cheetara looks like you're stereotypical modern half hybrid cheetah humanoid and less classic. She takes more after Marvel's modern Tigra and DC's modern Cheetah. Here's hoping the Classic collector line offers something more than just resized statues with little articulation. Starting to see why people say Bandai was a poor choice. They probably won't even delve into any obscure characters for figures like Mattel does. We hound on Matty all the time, yet that company at least has gone a little outside of the box for its collector lines in terms of character selection with certain exceptions of course.

• Thanks to this comment I now want to see an entirely new cartoon called "Thunder Silver Tigers". It can be set in the same set of universes and feature crossovers galore. Woogadoo!

• Liking the new designs, especially Lion-O as he looks more like a teenager, which I think works better from a character standpoint. I never liked the whole "child in a man's body" routine in the old show , especially since it never was really taken advantage of. He looked more like an adult bodybuilder, so Mumm-Ra calling him "boy" never rang true. Instead, he came off as kind of a doofus, which was not how it should have been. I'm hoping now we'll get more of a character arc with him, where he starts out as an arrogant and self-centered teenager, who over the course of the series grows up and learns what it means to be a true leader. In general, I like it. All the characters scream "attitude" to me. Let's hope the new show has the cojones to back it up. I felt the old show was really held back (Yeah, I know it was supposed to have been a kids' show. But that didn't stop Star Blazers and Robotech).

• heh, it's just an experiment :D of course, if even one person crawls into a ball and cries for mommie then my job here is done!

• Oh, so it's okay to be furry for Cheetara? That's good to know.

• "Thunder Bike and Thunder Bike"--Rob, do you mean Thunder Tank? If that's it behind the bike, it looks awesome!

• "Thunder Bike and Thunder Bike"--Rob, do you mean Thunder Tank? If that's it behind the bike, it looks awesome!

• "Thunder Bike and Thunder Bike"--Rob, do you mean Thunder Tank? If that's it behind the bike, it looks awesome!

• "Thunder Bike and Thunder Bike"--Rob, do you mean Thunder Tank? If that's it behind the bike, it looks awesome!

• Now that you've said it, I can't un-see it.

• Hahaha! Inspired!

• Brax you can't expect that of Rick. He has enough to do just to make a cool new suicide each FFF. It would probably fry his brain if he had to commit suicide over your comments, my dear.

• Someone needs to write a dissertation about the correlation between Thundercats and sexual imagery now! The Pulitzer is waiting!

• Hand to God? I thought about saying that myself, but it seemed kind of selfish to not set someone else up.

• Sadly, I will always be a fan of chicks in leotards :(

• Well I haven't zoomed in but now that I looked closer at the area I grant you it does look like it could be a finger on a trigger. However at the top, that looks like a opening on the handle like it's an updated retractable whip. Plus, it doesn't look like there's any kind of opening on end where the barrel of a gun would be. Unless he's holding it backwards or that that's just the top part of a longer gun. We could both be wrong though and he's got some new kind of weapon.

• Most people my age were into Thundercats as a kid. Oddly I never was. Instead I was into their sister toon Silver Hawks and had a ton of those toys. I even had the bird which was like life size and shot missiles from its beak. Looking back a both shows, I'm surprised how well both were animated back then. Meanwhile stuff like He-Men looks like crap in hindsight.

• and people wonder how I became this way.

• by the way, not only does the sword of omens lengthen the more Liono uses it, it climaxes with bursts of lightning and the cat signal. it throbs and feels alive, Liono said as much in Exodus when he used it the first time.

• LOL

• actually, you can see his finger. if you start at the circular blue object on the side of the weapon and follow downward (down and right) toward the A in Archive at the right hand side you'll see a small nudge of white at the very edge of the picture. it suggests he's wearing those king of gloves that don't have fingertips, there's also the start of the trigger area of the weapon. yes, I did scan the image very very close. very closely. very. closely.

• Pussies and dicks, you mean. (Sorry, just wanted to say it before Abraxas did.)

• You can't even see his fingers, so the assertion that the object has a trigger isn't really accurate. It could be a gun, I'm sticking with updated whip. A handle and two balls, a sword and a staff that lengthen, nunchuks. That show was nothing but cats and dicks.

• Egh. Lion-O looks like they just slapped some face paint on Cloud Strife. Panthro looks ++awesome, big roughneck engineer dudes have sideburns...that is the rule. Yikes, Cheetaras got some personalities on her. I do like the fact that they made her look kinda scruffy and lithe like one might expect a cheetah to look. But yeah I'm okay with most of this. I was never a big Thundercats fan so as far as I'm concerned the series can only improve on what was a less than stellar series.

• Cheetara´s asking for a serious tit fuck. I would think that if I were... my age.

• i think it looks awesome, as for how it plays out, i will reserve judgement till i see the actual show.

• +1

• I approve.

• Panthros sideburns are retarded along with the rest of the designs except for the sword. Panthro looks like a troll version of friar tuck or something. And lion-o looks like Ichigo Kurosaki from "BLEACH" they shouldve never let Bandai get a hold of this. The HORSEMEN shouldve had handled this one like they did with the 2000x line and Mike Young Productions shouldve handled the cartoon. This will probly be more annoying to look at than GIJOE Renegades.

• That's exactly the only thing I saw.

• which fits because Tygra was into cracks. :whips on glasses: Ass Cracks.

• let me quote the Confessions of a Striped Cat, #2: "First, about the Thundercats: why do we have such a ridiculous national anthem? 'Thundercats are on the loose, Thundercats are loose'? Is it any wonder the Mutants always laugh at us?"

• I agree......she looks like a crack whore.

• I want to see if I can induce a non-FFF rickicker suicide just with my replies!

• do what now?

• I am sensing a wilder Cheetara. and most def a bustier Cheetara. I'm hoping if the follow the original Exodus outline - that not only will they all be naked, Jaga included, but that it'll be intimated that Cheetara is Liono's nursemaid. in the names of all the gods and devils at once what a bane that would be to fanfic!

• that's definitely a gun, he's holding it like a gun. unless his whip 2.0's got a trigger on it. besides whips are so kinky. also a handle with two balls. 'nough said.

• Ahem I meant Thunder Cats are Loose. I thought he was referring to Cheetara

• Thunder Cats.... i thought he was referring to Cheetara

• Really? I think Cheetara looks the worst of the bunch. Her hair looks butchered, like she cut it herself while on a drunken bender. She looks kind of emaciated as well...strung out. I dunno. She's not a regal as original Cheetara. I like the guys, but her design sucks.

• Oh hell, I saw this post and all I could think was, Dr. Braxy is gonna be WAY TOO EXCITED...

• Now how did I know you would be ridiculously excited about this?

• I want them to revive the motherfucking Street Sharks.

• Am I the only one who remembers that Tygra's whip was retractable, and often was just a handle. With two balls on it? Perhaps that's why it looks somewhat gun shaped now?

• Cheetara looks great, she seems odd beacuse the picture is too blurry.

• He just looks too 'teen' to me. The original was an older looking steroid taking demi-human. The new design seems "totally tubular!".

• Does Panthro remind anyone else of Jet Black, or is that just me?

• Better them than Mattel-- when was the last time you couldnt find a Ben 10 figure on the pegs...

• Funny Thundercats story: Back in the day, I played Bilbo Baggins in my high school production of The Hobbit and I used a painted Sword Of Omens for Sting (because it lit up). So during one of the performances when I lit up the sword, a child in the audience screamed "Thundercats Hooooo!!" Everybody cracked up.

• Cheetara's semi-vacant stare in that artwork is disturbing.

• I love it! Lion-O looks great! He has that whole young warrior/knight thing going on. Tygra with gun is stupid. Wilykit and Wilykat where are they? No Snarf is a good thing.

• As long as they use the same theme song, I'm cool with this. James Lipton's gotta eat!!

• I had the original one as a kid, it got broken by my knob job of a cousin. Finally it can be replaced

• You would think so but too few girls want to gaze with site beyond site
