Thanks to Dumah from Thundercats Lair, we have word that a Brazilian toy company called Bandeirantes has released a few completely new Modern Thundercats figures. They stand between 15″ – 16″ tall, have limited articulation and are made from Vinyl. They come with no accessories or weapons. Included are:
• Lion-O
• Tygra
• Panthro
• Cheetara
• Mumm-Ra
There is also a backpack, a scooter and 2 different bikes.

Though the fate of Thundercats in the United States seems quite uncertain, it's gearing up in other parts of the world. Who knows, maybe if it's a hit somewhere else, they'll get a second season? We can only hope so.

That mumm-ra looks rather nice. they don't have much in the way of articulation though. I wonder if these are official merchandise.
They are official.
I really wish there were some better close up photos of these.
They're simplistic and a little odd...but I actually like them. They almost look like they tried to make toys similar to the old LJN figures, but based on the new show's look. I have the bad feeling it'll never happen, but I'd love to see these released here in the states.
They look like official knock-offs. The colors are a little screwy and Mumm-Ra's headpiece is kinda wiggy... I'd probably pick up a few of them at retail though.
I must say I do like these figures in an odd sort of way. I wouldnt pay through the nose for one, but would pick one up at a reasonable price.
I want that tricycle!! LOL
200X MOTU SD SUPER DEFORMED HE-MAN MEXICAN SIZE 5" 100% COMPLETE RARE !! BOOTLEG | eBay
Interesting figures either way.
I kind of like them. I don't think I'll pick any up but they are pretty neat.
I wants.
they look like old school thundercats, like the toys were back in the 80s whith very lil moving parts, and not so (perfect) looking colors, any diehard fan would collect these, other wise, these are easily to pass up and just get today's versions which look better & have guns and stuff.
This does prove the popularity of the new at least.
Between these and the bedsheets, the merchandising is moving farther along pretty fast for what fans assume is a dead show walking.
Makes me think the fan over-reactions are just that. The more merchandise material that keeps coming out, the more safe it seems we really are. Not that there was any doubt after one of the voice actors said they were still recording dialogue for the show anyway.
that bagpack, looks sweet!, i want me 1.
The more i look at these the more I want them. How do we get them here, besides Ebay?

If the show is getting ready to air in Brazil, then it makes sense that we would be seeing merchandise from there for the first time. This is a Brazilian only toy company, from the looks of it, releasing stuff for their market. It has no bearing on the state of the show outside of that country.
Hey guys, if anyone is able to get a MIB a Bandeirantes Lion or Mumm ra then please messsage me, as im an avid collector of foreign figures. And my Portuguese isnt the best!
PM please and would be much apreciated :-)
Backpack! Backpack!
hi who here can get these id like to get 1 of each figure from this brazilian release please msg me
I just ordered a 'Lion' (Lion O) figure direct from Brazil. And lets just say they arent cheap! 60usd a figure, although HUGE
Hmm, these look actually quite good. Just with they were smaller.
Checked out the Tygra, he looks pretty good...if these were available around here, I'd get one of him for certain..Panthro, Lion-O too.
reminds me of some of the toys i had when i was a kid, to bad these wont be seeing release stateside id like to pick up those figures. Guess could always use ebay but im sure the prices will be way to expensive to justify it.
Just got the Bonecos Lion O from Brazil and that guy is HUGE. Holding the box and looking at him makes me feel like im 6 again holding a standard TC's LJN Lion O in my hands. They arent cheap even direct from the country but definitely a unique piece and, who knows, one that could stand alongside the Glasslite boxed TC's of the 80's
I will be honesty, the quality isnt that good.
In fact is really bad in my personal opinion.
If anyone wants anything, please let me know and I can buy it here and ship it to any place in the world.
Rgds
the back pack is cool atleast
