Bandai and Warner Bros. have finally released the first photo of the upcoming Thundercats Classic 8″ Lion-O. We’ve been waiting (very impatiently) to see how our beloved icon woudl turn out. The vintage styled figure portrays Lion-O as he was seen in the original Thundercats cartoon. Lion-O is accompanied by his trusty Sword of Omens. Hopefully, the rest of the line continues with the excellence shown here!

Thundercats Classics 8 Inch Lion O
Looks great! I think I'll be picking up every one of the 8" Classic's.
very impressed so far with the pics can't wait to see more for the classics line..
definitely a must buy for me. hopefully he comes with a little Snarf figure
Oh wow. I didn't even know there was going to be a Thundercats Classics line! Looks real nice!
My excitement just ramped up another notch.
Hey! It's me! ^_^
If I were to buy myself, would it be considered prostitution, slavery, or pet adoption?
I am definitely getting excited now! Can't wait to see how the other classic figures come out.
I can't wait....I still have all my old TC toys at my parents house.
Here's hoping we get soem Mutants out of this line. I'm itching for a new Vultureman and Jackalman.
Pure Awesome!!
Looks really good, but I want to see what the 6 inch figure looks like so I can have this line in scale with DCUC, MOTUC and Marvel Legends.
Release Date?
Oh wow. I just made a statement in another thread where I said I wasn't liking the idea of the classics line being 8 inches tall. If they are going to look this good I don't mind one bit. Wow!!!!!
Awesome!
can't wait to see who's coming next after lion-o and tygra
Wow, Awesomeness.
Hopefully Mumm-ra!!
If the rest of this line looks as good as Lion-O. Count me in.
This guy looks great. I'm glad they are doing the Classics line in the 8 inch scale as they will look great next to my MOTUC figures.
Oh wow when I first heard Bandai was doing the new Thundercats line I was a little disappointed but now that I see an actual pic of Classics Lion-O I'm hooked not bad at all.Looks like I have another line to collect.....Oh boy
Right now, i'll definitely pick up Mumm-ra and Lion-o to have with my He-mans
Let's hope that the line becomes popular and successful.
i wonder if it's only gonna be a couple of figures at a time?
i LOVE those thighs...in a non creepy way
Any chance the eyes light up?
Looks awesome. Would be great if they released a few mutants in this line
This looks fantastic - I was really worried when I heard "Bandai", but this figure looks great. Wonder what the packaging will be like. Can't wait to see Tygra now.
What a great time to be a T-Cats fan.
Even though he's missing his eyebrows I can't wait to see the rest. So far the only other character that was mentioned for these 8-inch figures was Tygra, but I hope that they make all of the major characters. Especially if they are going to look this good!
Are these going to be exclusives?
Nice. I can't wait for more pics and to see what Tygra looks like.
This is one of the those things where you've waited so long to get a classic line of Thundercats figures and the company understands what is needed to please the "80's" kids like ourselves. Great likeness, great articulation, great paint apps, great sculpt and details, great accessory's. And I'm sure when we see pics, great packaging. And they completely nailed it!! When I heard that Bandai was doing classic figures, I really thought they were gonna drop the ball. But it's far from it. So with that said, I'm collecting the shit out of these! hahah
Just cool as hell, man.
That 8" line will rock!!!
I can't stop steering at this... It's just so badass!
Not too bad actually. Think I'll be picking this one up.
This is a must for me. I was thinking of getting the classic figures and keeping it in the package and then buying the newer 4 inch figures and opening those for the toon. That way the kids can play with them too.
Looks like I will be picking up the Classics line. Lion-O FTW!!!
Hopefully, Lion-O will come with a smaller Sword of Omens to fit into the Claw Shield. I actually hope they do a 4" classics line as well
What a great time to be a T-Cats fan.
Between Lion-O, and Tygra, the Classics line looks like it will be perfect. Hopefully, the line will be successful enough to ensure the production of all the Thundercats characters.
If the other figures in the line look like Tygra and Lion-O, I'll be more than happy to purchase them all!
Already mentioned this on Toyark, but he looks great and I'm really looking forward to all the new toy merch coming our way for Thundercats. It's been a long time coming with this brand to get the same treatment as their fellow 80's properties.
Also said the bases were scrapped but the way they had Lion-O and Tygra standing, they seemed to have a great center of balance and won't need that stuff. I don't want them posed standing at attention anyway.
And I think the rep also said 18 points of articulation? And they look this good? Bandai really came dressed to impress at this party.
In the pics you can see the small blade at his feet. In the video walkthroughs (of which there are many now), the representative mentions this. What's not oft mentioned is that the claw shield works by interchanging with the left hand. The left hand pops out and the claw shield pops on. When not on the hand, it fits on the bit we've seen hanging off his belt and the dagger form of the Sword of Omens fits into the clawl.
