Mezco has revealed a new San Diego Comic-Con 2012 Exclusive Thundercats Mumm-Ra Glow-In-the-Dark 2-Pack. The 2-Pack will include both the Mummy and the Everliving forms. It will sell for $50 and will likely be available in their online store as well.

UPDATE:
The store listing is now live. You can order it by CLICKING HERE.

This Summer Exclusive features a glow-in-the-dark, blue-skin Mumm-Ra and comes packed with his decayed form version, created from an entirely new sculpt, showing him in his decrepit natural state.

Normally old and decrepit, he transforms himself into the powerful Mumm-Ra the Ever Living by reciting the incantation “Ancient spirits of evil, transform this decayed form to Mumm-Ra, the Ever-Living!” Based on the the original animated series, this mega-scale figure is 14″ of evil ancient fury!

Mezco’s Mumm-Ra is superbly detailed, perfectly capturing not only the iconic look of Mumm-Ra the Ever Living as he appeared in the classic television series, but the essence of his villainy as he spreads his arms wide and swears to destroy Lion-O.

Mumm-Ra features 8 points of articulation as well as a real cloth cape and bandages. Both come packaged together in an oversized collector friendly box. This is a non-numbered limited edition item. Edition size TBD.

Recommended Ages: 15 and up
Scale: 14″
Packaging Type: Window Box
Case Pack: No
Weight: 3 lbs
Manufacturer: Mezco Toyz

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.
