[CBR News]

Toymakers Bandai and Mezco had their ThunderCats toy prototypes on display during last weekend's New YorkToy Fair, showing off lines based on the classic cartoon and it's upcoming modern counterpart.

Awesome! Love Thundercats!

I already pre-ordered the Mezco Lion-O because it's absolutely incredible looking. As for the Bandai toys... really?

There's hardly any detail in the four-inch line and their hands are twice the size of their heads. The 8-inch classic line looks pretty cool and I'll probably end up picking those up but I HATE the new series' figures! I actually like the character re-designs and I was going to save up and buy the entire series but after seeing these pictures (and a bunch of other ones at other sites), I can't stand them! They're horrendous!

I just don't understand why, if Warner owns the rights to ThunderCats, DC Direct weren't put in charge of making some figures. Even NECA would've nailed out some great-looking figures. These non-detailed pieces of plastic look like they belong in a McDonalds Happy Meal. It's very disappointing considering I've waited most of my life-time for the ThunderCats to make a return.

I'll be getting the 8" Classics line for sure! Hope they make Panthro and Cheetara in the second wave.

Here's a stupid question but are they doing this remake without Snarf?

I'd be happy if this was the case, but if you look at the photos below a Snarf toy is shown right next to the vehicle toy. So yeah...I guess he's in it.

So awesome. Must get.

Hopefully he'll be like Momo in Avatar: The Last Airbender.

Because you won't find DC Direct toys in Walmart, Target, or Kmart. Also, these toys are meant for little kids to play with, not adults who will just showcase them.

Hopefully he'll be like Momo in Avatar: The Last Airbender.

At the very least, it looks like he might not talk.

Also, that's a pretty friggin' sweet Thundertank.

He looks kind of like a mogwai from the Gremlins movies. I mean, I guess he always sort of did resemble them but it seems much more obvious now.

I don't care if I'ma grown-ass man. I want a Sword of Omens

[Runic]

Lion-O is a must buy, but I was a fan of Snarf as a little kid. I will pick up a Snarf toy. I thought it was cool that Snarf was included in the new show.

Someone just told me that my dream of the new Snarf being mute is coming true.

I wouldn't be opposed to that, or perhaps speaking in a language only the Thundercats could understand like Chewbaca and Han in Starwars.
