Hard Hero Cancels Their Thunderats Statues
Forum member Mummra has received a refund and a notice from Hard Hero. They are refunding people who paid for the upcoming Mumm-Ra Statue. They have also announced that they will no longer be making Thundercats Statues.
RE: Refund of Deposit for Mumm-Ra AP
We are enclosing a refund check for the deposit paid on your pre-order of the Mumm-ra statue.
Due to the ongoing market conditions (with no improvement in sight) ,we have decided to cancel future production at this time. Many retailers are no longer offering collectible statues to their customers, while others have left the industry all together.
Thank you for your support and patronage over the last 14 years; we wish you and yours every success in the changing economy.
Best Regards,
Rob Potts

Officially Licensed Thundercats Converse Shoes
Forum member King Khan has let us know that his company, Journeys Shoes, will exclusively carry some Officially Licensed Thundercats Shoes. I talked to King Kahn and he was able to share some extra details about these unique items.
The shoes will be produced by Converse. There are Hightop Thundercats Sneakers for the guys and a pair of Cheetara themed shoes for the ladies! The Cheetara shoes feature felt around the cheetah spots for added detail and texture.
The shoes hit Journeys Shoes stores and website on June 1st, 2012. They will retail for $59.99. These are also limited in quantities, so be sure to get your orders in quickly if you want to own a pair. It is known that the logos on the characters are all backwards. Unfortunately, that was the way the art that was provided to Converse and approved by the licensors, which Journey’s has no control over.
