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.
If you’ve spotted this, or any other toys, be sure to let your fellow fans know by visiting our Thundercats Sightings Forum.
Lion-O was an excellent start to the Thundercats Classics line. Tygra has cemented it for me though. Let’s hope this isn’t the last figure we see in the line and that more come in the future. Here is a gallery of Thundercats Classics Tygra.

Today we have a nice quick photo shoot of 6 inch Mumm Ra for you guys. This figure comes from the recently released Thundercats 2011 6 inch scale, which is based off the modern interpretation of the characters from the new show. (Classics are 8 inch scale).
Check out some shots of what the figure can do by reading the full story.
You can see some additional pics of the 6 inch figures, including some from forum member GogDog, here: Post pics of your 6″ modern figs! (Discussion)
New forum member Petar had contacted his local Toys “R” Us store, in Australia, to inquire about the Thundercats Toys. For those that don’t know, Australian Toys “R” Us stores actually import some toys from other countries. Australian Transformers fans know this well.
Unfortunately, it might not be great news for fans down under. According to this particular store, Thundercats Toys will not be released in Australia until mid-2012.

Two bits of good news for UK Thundercats fans in one day. I like this trend. Forum member Panthro UK has let us know that Bandai UK is confirming a release date for Thundercats Toys. They expected release day is December 1, 2011. While it is unfortunate our friends across the pond have to wait, at least we know how long the wait will be.
Thanks to ThunderCats.ws boards member barairoTVlive for posting up his video review of 4 Inch Deluxe Grune!
Entertainment Earth has updated their ThunderCats 4-Inch Deluxe Wave 1 listing with some official in-package photos. The deluxe figures include a base and/or accessories that are magnet activated to interact with the figures. Deluxe 4-inch wave 1 includes the following figures:
• Grune
• Tygra
• Mumm-Ra
• Lion-O

After finally scoring some Thundercats toys (finally), I wanted to get up a detailed look at the Thundertank. As I had expected, the vehicle is an excellent display piece and goes well with the 4″ figures. It’s sturdy, has some nice play features and even some lights and sounds.
