Warner Bros. has put up a short video detailing some of their plans for San Diego Comic-Con 2011. Unsurprisingly, Thundercats is confirmed to be there. Not much info was given. However, it looks like the folks at WB will have an exclusive Thundercats T-shirt for fans. Hopefully, we will find out more in the coming days and weeks leading up to San Diego Comic-Con 2011.
Today’s Featured Thundercats Custom comes from forum member jimsloth. He created a custom Lion-O that fits right in with the 3.75″ G.I. Joe figures.
“This was made with parts from Slayer Design Studios (the head and torso).
Right forearm was from Tigerforce Duke
Left glove was from W.O. Sabertooth (unfortunately it has an extra finger)
All other parts were from Serpentor. The knees were carved away, and the boots have a sculpted upper edge.”
Check out a couple of photos by clicking the headline of the story. If you have a custom you would like to share, simply join in and post in our Thundercats Customs Projects Forum.
Thundercats.ws forum member TCProducer of ThundercatsTheSeries.com stopped by to let us know that they are casting for a new web series. The new web series is meant to be a live action “fan imagining” on the Thundercats characters and mythos we all know and love.
“Hey there everyone, we’re casting a “fan imagining” of the Thundercats – it will be live action and it will be awesome! We’re shooting 30 minutes which will be cut into 6 episodes for a web series starting in June.
We’re hoping to have it out by 2012 depending on time in post production but our director has some big plans for it – think special effects ala Star Trek (2009).
You can follow us on Facebook and Twitter or our website and even be part of the project.
I’ll also post updates here as we move forward from casting photos to behind the scenes if you’d like.

Are you curious about what’s coming from Thundercats in 2011? We know about the toys, but what else is in store for the relaunch of the franchise? I recently spent some time researching the United States Patent and Trademark Office and am sharing the two newest Warner Bros. live trademarks with our readers.
See what’s coming by clicking the headline of the story. There’s a lot of info to go over, but the descriptions are what matters most. Keep in mind, these trademarks don’t guarantee product, but we now know hat can be coming.

Entertainment Earth has added photos to some of their Thundercats 2011 toy listings. These new photos give us an official look at the Tower of Omens Deluxe Playset, the thunderBikes, the Lizard Canon and the Sword of Omens and Claw Gauntlet.

The ThunderBikes work with the Thunder Tank, and can launch from its claws. The vehicles and Tower of Omens are meant to work with the 4″ basic figures. You can see photos of all of the items by clicking the headline of the story.
Welcome to Third Earff! According to ShowBiz Spy (who I’ve never heard of), Will Smith is apparently interested in producing and starring in a live action Thundercats. With absolutely no sources cited, take this with an Uncle Phil sized grain of salt.
“WILL Smith wants to make a Thundercats movie!
The Hollywood superstar is said to be looking to develop and star in a live action movie based on the cult cartoon capers of a group of cat people whose space ship crashes on a mysterious planet.
“Will is a big Thundercats fan and even his kids are into it now,” says a source close to the Smiths.
“Will is looking to develop a script and possibly work with (wife) Jada on the project.””
So more on this as it becomes available…Or gets debunked. Either or, we’ll cover it here.
