Ah, I can see how it works, now. The lower leg is sculpted with an overlap of the upper thigh. Nicely done, indeed. Hopefully the arms are the same, and that is the reason I can't see a bicep swivel.

I am a bit surprised they are doing three scales. It certainly would make more sense to do the Classics in 6 inch scale, so they can be mixed with the new style figures that will be 6 inch, and also so fans can pose them with other lines. I know there were many MotU Classics fans that were really hoping for Thundercats figures that were in scale with their He-Man figures. I'm one of them.

My concern now isn't so much that the 8" figures won't be in scale with any of my other figures, more that with the larger scale it seems less likely we'll get the complete cast.

That is always a possibility, and one that does concern me as well. But as long as we get at least these in at least one of the styles, I'll be good:

(some of these we've know are coming already)
Lion-O
Tigra
Cheetara
Panthro
WilyKit
WilyKat

Mumm-Ra (mummy form with sarcophagus)
Mumm-Ra (The Ever Living)
Slithe
Jackalman
Monkian
Vultureman

Redecos/Remolds could be: Ben-Gali (from Tigra), Pumya (from Cheetara) and Lynx-O (from Panthro?), and various generic mutants based on their leaders.

Would be great to see the new Thundercats. I'd also want a Jaga (with translucent varient!)

Now that would be awesome! Yes, I desperately want the entire team, too. I hope they do well enough at retail to expand the Classics line. Maybe I'll buy doubles....
