And even at the very least..open preorders for the re-releases AND either unveil or tease a new character or just simply announce that more figures are coming.

I'd at least like to know why Grune and Jaga aren't part of this initial wave. They were 2 unreleased figures from Mattel's line, so they are already sculpted, and Super 7 had them on display at last year's Power Con as an obvious tease that they would be reviving the Thundercats line this year. So um.... where are those 2 figures?? Is their absence due to Super 7 supposedly having to start all over with sculpting these figures rather than using the original tooling Mattel already created? Someone stated earlier in this thread that Super 7 can't use the same tooling for the other existing Thundercats since they don't have access to Mattel's moulds, but these figures revealed today sure do look identical to what Mattel released 4 years ago. Aside from the extra heads and accessories, I don't see a thing different about them. so are they really all new sculpts or not? And if not, then why aren't we immediately getting the original Grune and Jaga too that Super 7 has access to?
