| 12.28.2013 – The lord of the Thundercats doesn’t need any further introduction.
The classic character was raised on planet Thundera, which eventually exploded and was aged into an adult but still have the mind of a child. He’s younger than WilyKit and WilyKat due to the malfunction on his stasis. The 2011 version was raised in the kingdom of Thundera on 3rd Earth. |
| 12.27.2013 – The Thundercats series may have come and gone while the toys went on clearance.
But even though everything is said and gone the toys would become nostalgic in its own right being popular for reviving one of the well-known cartoons of the 1980s. Though the 2011 iteration of the show didn't see much of the classic characters brought back to the modern times. Surely the primary cast deserved its own spotlight. |
| 12.22.2013 –The Sword of Omens is the primary weapon of Lion-O who would be Lord of the Thundercats. Back then toy manufacturer LJN was the original maker of the action figures and role playing toys which include the Sword of Omens.
The vintage version didn’t appear to be accurate to the one Lion-O wields in the show every Saturday mornings. Back in the day it looked cool enough to own that every neighborhood kid would want to wield but it was too small and very short. |
| 10.10.2013 – The New Thundercats may have been off-air but still being shown as a re-run in some parts of Asia via Cartoon Network. There’s no possible future of being revisited again but the action figures definitely give you a somewhat retro look to it.
In this re-imagined universe of the Thundercats the fraternal twins of WilyKat and WilyKit did not as the survivors of a dying planet in Thundera in the classic cartoon series but from a down-trodden family who ran away to find riches to save them. |
| 08.17.2013 – Lion-O the iconic lord of the Thundercats has been the focal point of the original series as well as the recently cancelled modern series from 2011. Bandai manufactured the toy line up until Warner Bros. Animation canceled the TV series.
It left a cliffhanger similar to what happened to the Mike Young produced Masters of the Universe. You’ll never know what happened after that series ending episode. But the toys continued to sell but not as popular as you expected. |
| 08.01.2013 – Mumm-Ra is one of those memorable villains in cartoon that could have been more known if it not for the series cancellation in mid-2012. The new Thundercats offered more about Mumm-Ra than he was portrayed in the original 1985 cartoon.
The new series was purely unrelated to the classic it gives you an idea that this mummy is not from Third Earth. The original action figure that was manufactured by LJN have the mummy version available through mail away where you collect the UPC purchase that you need to send in acquiring this most feared creature. |
| 06.03.2013 – It’s been clearance for the past months that started with the basic figures which was originally retailed at PhP 599.75 pesos. The four inch figures from the very first wave with the exception of Lion-O went down to PhP 300.00 pesos late last year.
Now that Warner Bros. Animation has officially canceled the new series which lasted 26 episodes for one season leaving a cliffhanger that revealed much more potential for the show. The toys by Bandai didn't took off as what you’d expect but fans of the classic series was hoping the release of the original cartoon characters would expand. |
| 11.11.2012 – The Thundercats series might no longer be on-air after that cliff hanger that ended in cancellation. But that doesn’t mean the toy line will immediately cease to exist. In reality there still have more Thundercats to go around until supply last.
For those who haven’t caught the attention of the series and those never grew up with the classics that only knew Lion-O there are also other supporting characters. Panthro comes to mind as the mechanic of the team but in the new series he’s more than that. |
| 09.03.2012 – Falcon’s Hanger one of the exhibitors who participated in the recently concluded Singapore To Game and Comic Convention (STGCC) not only have a booth promoting their store they are the ones who brought in the an exclusive.

 | 07.06.2012 – If the planet of Thundera is doomed in the original series what happens now after the first season of the Thundercats has ended last month? There was still licensed merchandise coming out even though the series as loomed in limbo.

 | 04.28.2012 – The Thundercats revival when it premiered in North America was received with positive reception. This is not your dad’s cats and it doesn’t look like your average Saturday morning cartoon compared to the classic from the 1980s.
