Unfortunately, nothing of note came out of the UK Toy Fair for Thundercats fans. That will likely change when the North American Toy Fair begins in just a few short weeks. For now, Toy New Magazine’s Facebook Page added some pics from the show. We’ve mirrored the Thundercats pics for easy browsing.

Check out a UK Toy Fair 2012 Day 1 video uploaded by Toy News Online. There is a quick look at the Augmented Reality Thundercats Packaging about mid way through.
Toy New Online is reporting that Underground Toys has been awarded a license to produce talking plush toys based on Thundercats. The plush toys will be based on the Modern Thundercats. They will come in both 4 inch and 9 inch sizes. They are expected to hit in the 3rd Quarter of 2012.
We will have more as it becomes available.
Bandai UK has posted a video on YouTube of their Augmented Reality Packaging. The video shows how you will be able to use a mobile device (so long as it has a camera) to check out a full view of a toy without taking it out of the packaging. They use Lion-O to showcase how it can work. Check it out below.
The Power-Con website has posted news that the Power-Con/ThunderCon convention will return again this year.
Experience the worlds of He-Man®, She-Ra™, and the ThunderCats™ brought together for one convention this September 2012!
Three of the 1980s most blockbuster properties are once again joining forces for their second annual fan convention. POWER-CON / THUNDERCON 2012 — a celebration of Masters of the Universe, Princess of Power, and ThunderCats all together for one great fan convention.
The convention is being presented at the Torrance Marriott South Bay Hotel in Torrance, California, on September 22nd and 23rd 2012. The hotel is located about 10 miles south of the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).
Last year’s inaugural event was a hit with the fans of these properties, which presented two days worth of panels featuring talent that brought He-Man, She-Ra, and ThunderCats to life. “
the convention had a lot to offer fans. Panels focused on the big names in both Masters of the Universe and ThunderCats history,” said LAWeekly’s Liz Ohaneslan.
Power-Con / ThunderCon 2012 will be releasing more information soon including discounted room information, volunteer and exhibitor registration, ticket prices, guest lists, and detailed programming. What we can tell you now is the convention will once again be presenting an electrifying list of panels, an impressive exhibitor and collectible showroom, a wonderful charity auction, exclusive “Roast Gooble Dinner” Dinner event where lucky fans get to dine with the talent, and a “Masters Cast” After-Hours Mixer for fans to meet, mingle, and enjoy in fandom merriment.
