    Bandai Thundercats Classics are really nice.

    Great detail, articulation, accessories and cartoon accurate sculpts. They have a nice weight to them and feel very solid. Top notch quality overall.

    Minor drawbacks are the missmatched coloring on some of the joints and they are really not in scale with anything else. Bigger than the original LJN figures and even taller than MOTUC. Though, luckily, Lion-O is at least in scale with the LJN Snarf figure.



    You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

    Been watching these myself. They look really good. I'm not at all impressed with the T-cats new cartoon but these classic figures look to be pretty dead on. I was trying to resist buying them and you're not helping.
    It's not a doll it's an action figure.

          The new 8" figures fit in pretty well with Megos.

            Easily the best new show to hit the airwaves in years....and the best new line to come out in a very long time IMO

              Just picked up the 8" Lion-O a couple days ago and was really impressed. I wish they'd make all of them, because I'd go for a Panthro in a second. In fact, I'd probably buy the whole team.

                I did finally buy a Classics Lion-O and he is a nice figure. Collecting the others may be a bit over my budget though.

                  I did my best to resist them...then I bought Lion-O last week! He's awesome. Are they going to make other characters beyond him and Tigra?

                    I haven't heard anything, but I hope so. You want to hear something super dorky? I thought it was the coolest thing that his dagger is sheathed in his Claw Shield gauntlet.

                    BTW, just noticed on Bandai's site the MSRP is $16.99 and TRU's charging $19.99. That kinda sucks.

                      I read on a site the other day that the 8 inch Classics have now been changed to 6 inch figures and there is going to be a 6 inch classics two pack of Lion O and Mumm Ra.

                          6inches for the same price I bet.

                              I have Lion-O & Tygra, but I'm really hoping for Panthro. He's always been my favorite. Ultimately, I need all of the Thundercats at least. Two versions of Jaga would be nice; One normal, and one clear with slight color in the plastic for the Ghost version.

                              Rock On, Bandai!
