“ThunderCats,” will be based on the 1985-’90 animated TV show about feline humanoids fighting to survive on a desolate planet against incredible odds.

I remember when the 2011 series toys came out I bought all the basic figures, the deluxe Grune and Mumm-Ra, the 6" figures and the 8" classics.“Godzilla vs Kong” director Adam Wingard is set to direct the “ThunderCats” movie for Warner Bros., according to an individual with knowledge of the project. The 6" figures were really well done considering they all had unique cartoon accurate sculpts, how much articulation and accessories they had.and at least they made they made the main adult cast.

Bandai should have just invested in making the Thundertank bigger and have it double as a vehicle and playset like the old Kenner Millennium Falcon and various G.I. It really was an odd choice for a toy as it really isn't their main base and they are only there for a couple episodes. The invisibly Tygra it came with was pretty cool. As for the tower.I don't think it's ever going to be on the list of best playsets ever made. The tank should have been bigger and sturdier with no gimmicks. The Thundertank and Tower of Omens toys area different matter lol. Getting a basic Pumyra, Addicus and Kaynar would have been better than deluxe versions of characters already released as basics. I think if they hadn't bothered with the magnetic feature and lost some of the articulation on the 4" figures and not bother with deluxe versions it would have been better.

Overall though I though Bandai did a pretty good job with the toys based on the animation designs. It did some amazing things but the pacing of the series was so off and took them so long before it got really good and they made some really odd decisions. I have mixed feelings about the 2011 cartoon. Regardless of who is involved though having a live action movie could have a positive or negative effect for the brands.Ĭlick to expand.I remember when the 2011 series toys came out I bought all the basic figures, the deluxe Grune and Mumm-Ra, the 6" figures and the 8" classics. If MOTU or Thundercats get movies with toylines it would be great for the toys to be 3.75" like the Star Wars figures so they can make awesome vehicles and playsets then maybe just do a line of larger more articulated 6" scale figures for the main characters. Joe has only had a small 50th anniversary toyline available at Toys'R'Us in the USA which is just made up of repaints/retools of toys from the 2007-2012 line. Joe collection super cheap as £-Poundstretchers were selling the figures for £1-2.99 each and Toys'R'Us £4.99 and less and the vehicles could be got for £4-15. I remember being able to buy loads of the first movie toys for my G.I. Which was a real shame as the second movie toys and figures were even better than the first. So much so that for the second movie they didn't release any in the UK. Joe movies Hasbro put out some amazing toys but they were just so over priced they did not sell well, especially in the UK. It's quite odd though and ironic how the G.I. While it could generate more interest in the brand like the Transformers movies it could also do quite a bit of harm like the G.I.
