We have received preview stills and a preview video for Thundercats Episode 9: Berbils. Here’s the official description:

Tiny robot bears solicit the help of the ThunderCats to save them from a slave trader who values their technical and construction skills.

The Cats help to rescue enslaved Berbils and defend their village. Panthro learns that’s he’s not the only “wrench monkey” and bonds with Robear Bill.

ToyWiz has posted a listing for upcoming Thundercats Trading Cards. According to the listing, the cards are set to ship in January (the site says 2011, but these were just added recently, so I’m assuming the year is a flub). There will be 60 regular trading cards as well as 12 holographic foil cards in the box. Each box will contain 12 packs. Each pack will contain 8 cards, with one of those being a holographic foil card.

No images are available at this time. More info as it comes.

TV Guide got a first look at the brand new Ro-Bear Berbils from the upcoming Thundercats Episode 9: Berbils. the episode airs thsi Friday at 8:30 PM EST on Cartoon Network. Here’s a coupel of snippets from the article…

Fans of the original ThunderCats series will recognize the Berbils immediately. “When deciding to bring the Berbils back we agreed to not change their design or personality too much as they were some of the most memorable characters in the original ThunderCats universe,” producer Ethan Spaulding tells TVGuide.com. “The appeal of the Ro-Bear Berbils is their unassuming look — cute, furry, robotic teddy bears — and their robotic voices. They look cute but are actually great builders and help the ThunderCats in many ways.”

…

Although the Berbils’ basic design hasn’t changed, there are minor differences to the Berbils 2.0 upgrade. “We did update them a bit as there are different-sized Berbils now as well as kid Berbils,” says Spaulding. “The new Berbils also have the ability to transform into balls to help them roll away from danger.” That sounds handy for Third Earth!

Alex Pereira, a freelance digital sculptor who has worked for such companies as Sideshow Collectibles and Kotobukiya, has posted something that should really appeal to Thundercats fans. As a personal project (sorry, doesn’t look to be anything but that), he created an amazing digital sculpt concept for Panthro.
