So what figures will you be collecting when the new figures hit?

I reckon there's essentially 3 choices (ignoring the original figures and the new 6" Bandai ones).

3.75" new style figures Considering the limited amount of space I have, these are the most convenient. Thing is though, I'm not convinced about the new anime style, but I do like the idea of getting the Thundertank and the Cat's Lair.

I liken this new style to Transformers Animated, which is pretty much anime style versions of the classic characters. I don't dislike it, but I'm much more attached to my Classics toys. (Though admittedly that might be different if I'd ever seen the cartoon.)

6" Staction figures Most expensive option and, well, they're statues. I reckon it's the option where we're most likely to get all the characters (Jaga, Monkian, Lynx-O, etc). Two in that list are guaranteed.......

8" retro style figures Posable, classic styling, but 8" so not in scale with any other figures I own.

I can actually cope with the 8" thing despite the space concerns, but this is Bandai (will we ever see the rest of those 4" MMPR figures?), does anyone think we'll see all the characters we want?

I have given this a fair amount of thought and keep switching between the options - what do I care least about, the style, posability (of any sort), or scale and character selection?

There's also (in my mind at least) a fairly good chance we'll see classic style 3.75" or 6" (posable) figures at some point - I reckon Warner Bros's deal with Icon Heroes prevents it at the moment but when it expires I reckon the demand could still be there.

Today I'm going to opt for the Staction figures, tomorrow I might change my mind.

I'm going to start with the classic ones first. I've been wanting an update to this line for a long time.

For me, I'd start with the 8" Retro figs first, then possibly follow up with either the 3.75" or 6" Modern figs, depending on how they look in person.

Going with the Classics and, likely, the 6" modern. Both look fantastic.

Just got an email from BBTS saying that my pre-order (for the 8" figures) will be cancelled. I quote:

Makes my decision easier!

Joking aside, I'm sure these will be released in Europe so it'll be fine, but it's really quite shitty of Bandai USA to do this.

Winkers indeed!

I really hope this doesn't indicate a new trend whereby manufacturers put pressure on online retailers dictating what they can and can not sell, and to whom they can sell it.

The artwork for the new series certainly captured by attention, but the few "Thundercats Classics" toys that have been previewed so far (Tygra & Liono) are easy passes for me. IMO, the detail, colorations, & paint apps seem targeted more toward kids who may not have any idea what/who they are than adult collectors.

They are improvements on the original vintage figures.

The Panthro figure will go a long way to determining whether I will be collecting this line. Are photos of this fig as yet available for view across the internetz?

I'll likely go for an 8" Mum-Ra, since being a bad guy, he can be oversized. I want to collect the small scale stuff, since aside from TFs, those are my main bread and butter. But I just ain't sure of Bandai of America's product. Hopefully they'll be serviceable.

Seeing Mon Star was awesome! I'm giddy now but also annoyed. I want a Silverhawks return now.

Apparently they will be releasing 8 classics figures next year - 2 per quarter. It's hard to imagine that that won't include Cheetara, Panthro and Mumm-Ra.

My prediction for an SDCC exclusive next year will be ghost Jaga.

I really want to. But I just don't have the time for when they air em. And My direct TV doesn't have DVR. I guess I'll just have to wait for the DVDs or Netflix
