Loving that thundercats is being reborn and this will follow on from when the he-man line ends.

My only sad thing is that I hoped the packaging would be like the original packaging.

I just hope enoug people sign up to the subscription to keep this line going for at least two/three years so we get all the original figures and more

I also hope they aren't so heavy handed on Lion-O's brows. And they should make his eyes a little bigger so they don't like slits.

What a memorable day ?!

Snake Mountain, Night Stalker, Filmation sub and exclusive Filmation Evilseed AND ThunderCats proper line !!!! :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Wowza!! These look amazing! I agree with some on Lion-O's eyebrows, but I am thrilled. I have no experience with Matty subscriptions but I guess it's time to start saving!! What a great day to be a Thundercats fan!!

If you guys want any changes, go to the Matty forums, they do listen to fans ;)

Hiiiiii aaaaaah

Great news!:thumbsup:

It's apparent that they are using the MOTUC mold as the default body sculpt.

Jackalman shouldn't have so much muscles. Icon Heroes did the proper skinny look for him. Oh well, we can't help it. I am nitpicking at this point.

I will likely complain from time to time, but I will support the line by buying all the figures. And I hope all fans will do the same. We have waited long enough for this line and it should continue until all the major and secondary characters get their due in figure form.

Man, I hope they make a Mandora figure by next year.

On the contrary, I am actually very glad they used the MOTUC bodies. I can finally pose He-Man with Lion-O and everybody like it's the same series :D

I have 90% of the MOTUC figures, having ThunderCats blending in is a dream come true, hands down...

Man you guys are fast!

I've created a front page post and collected the best pics from those who were reporting from San Diego:

Hopefully we'll have quite a bit more info coming soon. Was anyone actually present at the panel? Was anything said you want to share with us?
#52
This is awesome! Hope DC picks up the license to do a comic series like they have with MOTU.

How does the subscription work? Are you guaranteed all the figures that way? Am I gonna have to stress about them selling out if I can't get to a computer at a specific time on a specific day? Sorry never done the Mattycollector thing before.

As I said before, Mattel will use MOTUC parts in their new ThunderCats line...

I hope they release all vintage produced and unproduced characters...but, if they don't, what your top 20 figures ?

My list:

1- Lion-O (with Snarf)
2- Panthro
3- Tygra
4- Cheetara
5- Wilykit
6- Wilykat
7- Mumm-Ra (with Ma-Mutt)
8- Jackalman
9- Vultureman
10- S-S-Slithe
11- Monkian
12- Grune the Destroyer
13- Jaga
14- Bengali
15- Lynx-O
16- Pumyra
17- Mumm-Ra mummy
18- Ratar-O
19- Hammerhand
20- Claudus

First the Sub will have to make meaning enough will have to buy it. So its going to be important that we all build as much support for the line as possible.

Second, your credit card is charged monthly for each figure so make sure it stays valid.

Third, Digital River, the company that handles Matty's shipping and billing can be "challenging" to say the least, but I haven't had problems with them.

Fourth, the above is how other subs have normally worked. Matty has said nothing official about Thundercats yet.
#55
Does anyone know how many people subscribe to he-man as this will be a good indication of how many Mattel need to continue to line. I'd imagine some will stay on when he-man ends and others will join...this is why the line cannot be sold in retail stores as it would be too much of a risk a'la bandai thundercats

It's a Mattel secret but I do believe about 2.000 to 3.000 subs a year...

As always, I will support the MOTUC 2016 line and now, the new ThunderCats one...I will help with two subs of each line !
#57
These look simply awesome, already setting back cash for a subscription. :thumbsup: I really hope they re-tool the female buck though, it looks so odd seeing Teela/She-ra taller than He-man. I'd hate to see Cheetara looking down on Lion-o too.

Also, the cat on the sword needs to be oriented the other way. It should be rightside up when he lifts his sword, not when it's pointed downwards.

I'd like to see an eventual "MOTU/TC" comic book miniseries from DC that features the "MOTU" characters in their '80s designs and is non-canon with the current "MOTU" comics. I'd like for it to have a late-'80s feel also.
