Mezco has put up a listing for a San Diego Comic-Con 2011 Exclusive Variant of their upcoming Mega Scale Thundercats Lion-O. So this officially gives us our first Thundercats exclusive figure. The figure will sell for $50.
“ThunderCats Ho!
Straight from the ThunderCats’ Lair on Third Earth, it’s Lion-O and the legendary mystic Sword of Omens.
This mega-scale figure measures over 20 inches tall from the tip of his upraised, extended sword to the soles of his Thunderian boots.
Featuring 7 points of articulation this mega figure is superbly detailed, perfectly capturing not only the iconic look of Lion-O as he appeared in the classic television series, but the essence, of Lion-O as he proudly raises the mystic Sword of Omens towards the heavens and roars out “Thundercats, Ho!”
This special Summer Exclusive Variant Edition features:
*Interchangeable glowing eyes head and open mouth heads
*Both Sword of Omens and short sword of Omens
*Alternate left hand Claw Shield
Lion-O is packaged in a collector friendly window box that allows him to be displayed while remaining Mint In Box. This is a non-numbered limited edition item. Edition size TBD.
NOTE: You will be charged at the time your order is placed, merchandise ships in last week of July 2011.”

Mezco SDCC11 Lion-O
Mezco Lion-O San Diego Comic-Con 2011 Exclusive Variant
Yeah-- I'll definitely have to pick version up at the show!
Man...I really was hoping to skip the SDCC exclusive chase wallet stresses this year but I gotta have it.
I ordered one from Mezco, but now that I have seen more pics of the variant head, I would have been better off getting the regular version. I'm going to see if they can cancel the order before shipping it Monday.
What I don't like:
- The "mouth open" head just doesn't look right.
- The variant head's eyes do not actually "light up" as I was led to believe. They just glow in the dark.
- The "glowing eyes" do not have irises or pupils. They're just glow in the dark paint.
So, hopefully they can catch it before it goes out, so someone else can get it. It wouldn't have been so bad if they would have included the regular edition's head, which is truly superior.

No, the regular head is not included. That's the problem.
The reguLar version is similar to the glow in the dark eyes version but without the glowing eyes.
I am half tempted to see if you want to trade a regular head for both variant heads.
No that wouldn't be fair. I'd just as soon get a refund from Mezco.
I picked one up at Comic-Con and I really like the open mouth head.
I mainly wanted that version because I already have the Hard Heroes statue which has a closed mouth and the Bandai one does, too. So, I figured it would be nice to display something different from those two.
Did anyone do a review of this guy?
Thats a cool figure but the open mouth makes it look like carrot top i laugh when i see this figure
Yeah, not feeling the open mouth. It's a shame, but it's just not a nice head sculpt.
