Entertainment Earth has been having bundles where it comes out to about $35 a figure. And some have been at that price point on Amazon as well.

As far as panthro,lion-o v2...Panthro's trunks are the correct shade of blue, and with Lion-o, something about the paint job on his sword. Not entirely sure. But other than that, they'rethe exact same release as v1 in every other aspect.

Thanks for the info

Even my best mate who considers ThunderCats his absolute fave cartoon of all time only has Lion-O, which his some QC issues which he hates Super 7 for because they never got back to this email after the first one. Also they use the outdated Masters of the Universe Classics body with it's weird proportions and dated articulation, with many 'Cats fans complaining the characters look too short and stumpy compared to how they appear in the cartoon. They are technically still the best 'Cats figures ever made but aye it depends how much you consider them to be worth with their flaws an' all that. The recent Mumm-Ra in his big buff battle body seems to be one of the more universally praised figures in the line though he costs a lot more with him being about £70 to £90 here in the UK. The Thundertank looks amazing and too scale for the figures but at £500 it's a hefty purchase in physical size and on the bank balance. Oh and my mate told me he did see Jaga for £39.99 in the clearance section of Forbidden Planet in Cambridge which is the cheapest he's ever seen any of the figures. Though he still didn't buy it, which again being from his fave cartoon ever says something, aye. I believe he's still going to get Mumm-Ra if he ever sees it for about £50 or under and just have that as the sole villain from the show on his shelf like Lion-O is the sole hero.

Well I was thinking of waiting it out and seeing if anyone else would pick up the license, but given the history of modern Thundercats figures I don’t think that will happen any time soon, I guess it just depends how much I want to have some Thundercats figures.

I wish someone else would get the license. I used to fantasize that DC Direct would make some, back when Thundercats were in the comics for awhile.

I'm not all in on the line, but I have a few. I'd like them a lot more if they were $35 figures. My biggest gripes are the looseness of some joints and that Lion-O's colours are very dull. I am thinking I would have been better off waiting for the toy colour versions as they seem to pop more. My opinion is give them a test run with the previously mentioned bundle deals on Entertainment Earth.

Sorry for changing the subject, but I just saw the words 'dead air disco' in your sig bit and I think you know my best mate. I've seen that name on several of his t-shirts which I believe you sent to him along with free action figures a while back? He's on instagram as carnivius. Anyways I just thought I'd say hi since we have a mutual. lol

Yeah! He's a good dude. We've been internet friends for quite a few years now.
