MTV Geek has an interview with Thundercats 2011 Designer Dan Norton. Along with the interview are looks at some of his designs. Included is our first look at the new Jackalman! In the interview, Norton talks about his design influences, his approach and what he’s looking to bring to the young series.
“When I’m looking for reference, I pull a lot from nature: national monuments, photography, live photos—I mean really, there’s a lot of nature that’s already impressive. So just going into an entirety of being a fan of all sorts of fantasy shows, cartoons, movies—you know, one of my favorite movies was Conan the Barbarian. There’s just so many different cartoons, more than I could probably name. I was a big fan of Escaflowne, Record of Lodoss War, all of those rich, fantasy cartoons. Even the old school Rankin Bass [movie] The Last Unicorn and Lord of the Rings, you know, just seeing that and feeding on it for so many years and then seeing people pushing the limit in other shows—you just take what inspires you and add your own edge to it.”

Forum member Icespark was able to get some info from a producers Thundercats live chat. Here’s what he provided:
• Thundercat nobles do not cut off their own tails, but are born without them.
• The Cat ship in eipsode 6 is not the Feliner, just a standard Cat fighter jet.
• Mumm-Ra’s Mummy-Mobile is officially called the Storm-Charger; we will eventually see why it has that name.
• None of the episodes are being written as filler. Each episode will have part of the whole story.
• That’s about all the information I was able to retrieve. It was also mentioned that the crew might set up something of a weekly chat, presumably after each episode, on their official page.
Examiner.com has a nice interview up with the composer of the new Thundercats cartoon; Kevin Kliesch. There’s a lot of information discussed. Kliesch discusses his musical influences, how he approached the music, why we don’t have a long into and more. One great piece of info is that a retail release of the Soundtrack is a real possibility. Check out the interview Here.

Forum member ssancho has found the Lion-O Thunder Racer at a Toys “R” Us store. this was found in New York. So east coasters, if you need something to do before you get rocked by a hurricane, then head out and check your stores. Remember, there are two Thunder Racers being released. One with Lion-O and one with Tygra. these are meant to go with the Thundertank.

It looks like the mildly anticipated Tower of Omens has made it’s way to stores. We have reports by multiple members who have spotted and/or picked it up at various stores. The best feature of this play set is the “invisible” 4″ Tygra that comes with it.
