Well, you didn’t want your Spirit of Jaga Minimate to be lonely did you? I didn’t think so, and neither did DST. The Thundercats Fecebook Page has revealed that a Mumm-Ra Minimate will be at San Diego Comic-Con!
Enjoy Wednesday’s Comic-Con feature – The Mumm-Ra Minimate!
The epitome of evil, Mumm-Ra looks to destroy anything and everything that stands in his way. Mumm-Ra is currently in his mummified state but is capable of deception at any moment. What’s your favorite Mumm-Ra disguise?
Look for Mumm-Ra at Action Figure Xpress´ booth – #3345

San Diego Comic-Con Exclusive Jaga Minimate Revealed
Joe Moore says
Now does this mean DST is going to be producing more Thundercats Minimates? I sure hope so.
AlexofThundera says
Very cool! I only hope they make it available online for those of us who can't attend. If this leads to more minimates I would be all for it.
Funny how everything we've seen so far is OS related.
nitewing73 says
It's weird, I've been picking up a bunch of minimates recently and I thought it would be cool to see Thundercats minimates. I have no knowledge of this but I would think that this would lead to at least a couple of waves of minimates.
I think this is awesome news. Shoot you can buy the Thundertank statue and display any T-Cats minimates with them. ha ha
Kregermeister says
This is great! I actually rather these than bandai figures.... at least you know we'll get complete sets and more!
nitewing73 says
I know it wouldn't really be in scale and would probably only fit one mate but a Thundertank would be cool in this scale.
Lody says
Nice
Where would these be sold after SDCC?
king kahn says
I actually am pretty excited about minimate tcats! I am sure we can get a tank too even though it'll only fit one figure but I do not care!
Also think how awesome these would be next to an old school cat's lair?
IndyCat says
This is so awesome!! I have collected minimates for years and always wanted thundercats in minimate form. My dreams have come true!!
Joe Moore says
I've reached out to a contact at DST to see if this is an indication of more Minimates or if it's a one time deal. Will post it up when and if I get a response.
EDIT:
Response from DST:
englishw says
Thundercats Minimates???? YES, PLEASE!!!!
Kregermeister says
Thats a big yes. When Minimates does 1, they do a million. This is great! They will be able to do what bandai nor any current company could do, FINISH A SERIES! lol
AlexofThundera says
Looks like were getting more then just Jaga after all.

AlexofThundera says
BTW things are looking good as they just revealed the Mumm-ra minimate. My wishlist would be Bengali and Lynxo in minimate form.
eero says
This just reminds me of how much I'd been looking forward to a Classics Jaga.
Kregermeister says
THE 80's STAFF RETURNS!! YES YES YES YES!!
nitewing73 says
Awesome sauce! I just saw this on minimate hq site. Shouldn't this go on the front page?
IndyCat says
I'm so excited!!!! Two of my favorite things!!!!
AlexofThundera says
I feel the same way about staff being included Kregermeister. Very cool.
Joe Moore says
Joe Moore says
Also, I am sold on these. Both Mumm-Ra and Jaga look fantastic. Have to figure out how I'm going to get these now.
Starsapphire says
someone just go buy like 50 of them, usually the minimates and T-cats exclusives don't sell out, and the line isn't even long.
prolly gonna be atleast 5 bucks each
so on eay for 20 shipped for the pair ^_^
Joe Moore says
Cleaned up thread. Trolling will not be tolerated.
IndyCat says
Usually minimates are easy to get and usually sold online after the show. If its a two pack expect about $8-$10.
Usually DST sells con exclusives in a 4 pack for about $20-$25
I wouldn't be surprised if they reveal a few more for the con.

Grune would be a cool one.
You figure if they do two-packs after the show they would do a Cat and a mutant and probably have the twins in one set.
Lion-O vs Slythe
Panthro vs. Monkian
Cheetara vs. Jackalman
Tygra vs. Vulterman
Wilykit and Wilykat
Jaga (non spirit) and Mumm-Ra (transformed)
something like that.
Joe Moore says
AlexofThundera says
Panthro has been revealed on the FB site. I can't access it from work though so I can't link it.

Only on their Facebook page so far... Looks amazing!

Diamond Reveals SDCC Schedule...Minimates Panel and Thundercats

Whoah!
Cat's Pajamas says
I dig him.
AlexofThundera says
I like it!
When these reveals were first mentioned the FB site said to "look for posts all week". If that means just until tomorrow, then you can bet it will be Lion-O that gets revealed. But if they go to Saturday, we may get one more character.
On a side note: It doesn't look like the NS is getting any love at SDCC. DTS clearly could have gone with the NS versions for their minimates but went with the OS. Honestly I see why. The majority of the hard core fan base and most importantly the casual fan base know these characters based off of the OS. They may have felt that basing them off the NS was too much of a gamble.
Kregermeister says
Look at this....
Bandai had the line for over a year, we only got 2 classic figures. (The 8 inch Tygra doesnt count as that line was dropped in favor of a stable 6 inch line).
Its been 3 days, and we have 3 minimates already.
---
I was a huge bandai supporter, but now I gotta say.... fuck those fuckers. After the Slithe, Tygra nonsence, the poor distribuition and broken promises, minimates all the way. Cheaper, smaller and more fun.
I would have liked some NS guys, but lets be honest, whats gunna give you a bigger drive to buy? A line thats already been rotting away on pegs, or one more chance at your childhood. lol!
nitewing73 says
Awesome sauce !!
All I have to say is I'm all in for a Thundercats minimates line. If they aren't going to do a comprehensive Classics line, this is good enough for me for now.
nitewing73 says
If this is like the other Action Figure Xpress offerings this will probably show up after the show on their site. I still see the Thor set from last year which I've been holding off getting. If this is on the site as well as the Alpha Flight set I'll order all of these.
Nice!

Seriously, DST?? REALLY??
If they spent half the time they do with their ridiculous MiniMates, on, you know, toys that have been in limbo for TWO YEARS, they'd have it made. I'm all for new Thundercats merchandise based on the classic series, but MiniMates? NO THANKS. All those damn things do is collect dust in every store I've ever been in, and they look like shit. DST just doesn't know what the hell they are doing. Unbreak promises that are years old FIRST, then take on new properties. That company is a joke, plain and simple.
IndyCat says
Being an avid minimate collector with over 400 of them. I can tell you that in the world of minimate collectors they are super popular. If it weren't for DST, we wouldn't have near the amount of obscure Charactors made into toys.
If minimates aren't you cup of tea, cool. No need to slam the company though. minimates are very popular. I think they had been going for about 7 + years now. Something many other toy lines haven't achieved. obviously they are doing something right with minimates.
User897 says
My point was that DST needs to release the toys that have been stuck in limbo for years. Prototypes were built, release dates were set, photos were released, then preorders were cancelled. In a lot of cases, it was in favor of MiniMates. DST is supposed to be a specialty company, not a "cheap and easy" one. They have easily been the most frustrating of any toy companies I have dealt with.

A. MAZE. ING.

Kregermeister says
NICELY DONE! Snarf is the winner here.
Sadly assholes on ebay are already charging 60 PER figure. Disgusting.

AlexofThundera says
Lion-O looks AMAZING!! Snarf is a nice bonus. Man I hope eBay doesn't become the only way to get these. I'd gladly pay $40 - $50 for the set.
Kregermeister says
Minimate 4 packs retail at 15-20 depending where the con is. I cant see paying more than 30 for the set.
LiarDice Films says
Thundercats will never die! Its great to see these various incarnations
nitewing73 says
I'm speechless.
LiarDice Films says
Lets not allow these profiteering non thundercats fans grab all these and then sell them at ridiculous process on ebay. Lets work together and get a group of us who want then and are willing to send money to the people fortunate to get the the comic con and spread the community spirit. I believe they should be admired and loved and not used to make a quick buck!
