| 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. |
| 08.01.2013 – 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. |
| 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. |
 | 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.
Bandai the toy manufacturer who brought back the toys has gone and released a third wave of those 4” and 6” inch action figures. The Philippines only got the first wave since last April courtesy of Bankee Trading which is the toy distributor for all Bandai products. |
 | 05.24.2012 – The Thundercats is one of original animated series that has been revived for the current generation. The classic 1980s Saturday morning cartoon tells us the story and adventures of Lion-O lord of the Thundercats and his team after crashing to Third Earth.
The latest series produced by Studio 4C in early 2011 brought back fan interest to long time fans as well as introducing the characters to the younger audience. The series debut in Cartoon Network and the toys was manufactured by Japanese company Bandai. |
 | 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.
We sighted that the new series also have the merchandise and the toys namely the action figures we first reported early in 2011. The fans clamored for more as the TV series debut sometime in July 2011 and the rest as they say is history. |
 | 02.27.2011 - Just when you thought it will take a long time for us to see the preview of the upcoming Thundercats, things go a little bit more interesting. This revival has been forthcoming with the popularity of other 80's franchises getting a new look for this era of pop culture, why not?
This is not the Thundercats of the 1980s, this is the modern reimagining of the classic series taking cues from other 80's franchises like Master of the Universe and Transformers that are beloved this one surely was worth the wait to see with this teaser revival! |
