Licensing.biz is reporting that Warner Bros. Consumer Products UK has announced some new Thundercats Licensees. The new licensees for the Thundercats brand include MV Sports, Rubies, Character World and Panini. These included new scooters, a magazine (likely a comic), branded bedding and costumes. Currently, various reports seem to peg these as UK, but don’t be surprised if many of these make their way stateside.

“MV Sports, Rubies, Character World and Panini all join programme for rejuvenated 80s brand.

With the new-look animated series due to hit TV screens in Q3, Warner Bros Consumer Products has added a further four partners to its Thundercats licensing programme.

First up, MV Sports is developing a line of wheeled toys, including scooters, while Rubies is producing a dress-up range for adults and children based on the characters, Lion-o and Panthro.

In addition, Character World is planning a collection of branded bedding and Panini will be publishing the first Thundercats magazine.

The new additions join Bandai, which has a toy range including four-inch basic action figures, eight-inch classic collector figures, a Deluxe ThunderTank Vehicle with figure, a deluxe role-play sword, Staction PVC figurines and collectable limited edition porcelain statues.

The new animated series will launch on Cartoon Network in August.

“We’re all incredibly excited about the return of Thundercats and we are looking forward to reinventing though carefully respecting the heritage of this classic 80s brand,” said Paul Bufton, general manager of WBCP UK. “With our licensee partnerships shaping up and amazing retailer feedback there is every reason to believe that Thundercats could return to become one of the hottest boy brands of recent times.””

Cartoon Network has sent out a press release for their upcoming television schedule. In the release, they give a short description of the series they are set to air. One of those series, obviously, is the Thundercats 2011 Cartoon. For long time fans, this info could be considered a Potential Spoiler. So stop reading now if you don’t want to know.

ThunderCats: The re-imagined animated series based on the beloved 80s classic tells the tale of a hero’s epic journey to fulfill his ultimate destiny. On Third Earth, the kingdom of Thundera is being threatened by the evil sorcerer Mumm-Ra and young heir to the throne Lion-O embarks on a great quest to take his rightful place as king. The unlikely champion, joined by his faithful comrades Tygra, Cheetara, Panthro, WilyKit, WilyKat and his loyal pet Snarf, must work together to save their world from darkness.

That’s right, Thundera is a kingdom and not a planet! They’re already on Third Earth when the series opens. When originally announced, the producers revealed that the series would simplify the Thundercats story, and that’s just what this is.

Collider has an interview with versatile actress and rising voice talent Emmanuelle Chriqui. In the interview, Chiriqui is asked about her upcoming voice work in the Disney animated series Tron: Uprising, to which she revealed her casting in the Thundercats 2011 Cartoon.

“Yeah, I suddenly have a budding career in voice-over work. I’m doing ThunderCats right now, and I did the pilot for Tron. It supposedly got picked up, but I have no idea when we’re going to be filming more. But, Tron was the first time I read a pilot for voice-over work where I was like, “I have to do this.” I love doing voice-over. It’s so fun. But, the audition process, obviously, isn’t the same. It was the first time where I was literally like, “Did I get it? Did we get feedback yet? I really love this part!” It’s really well written, like a real television show.”

Collider has confirmed that the role is that of Cheetara. With yesterday’s announcement that Kevin Michael Richardson with play Panthro and Will Friedle will be voicing Lion-O, the main cast is nearly complete.
