When Cartoon Network’s Thundercats 2011 website went live, they had some, by now, familiar graphics present. Those with higher resolution monitors could see a bit more than those with smaller displays. There was a really nice full shot of Lion-O there. So I ripped the image pieces from the site, put them back together and you can now get a nice, full look at the Thundercats‘ young leader-to-be.

Now this is a rare treat. I’ve seen the Thundercats Race To The Eye of Thundera Tyco Racing Set many times before. Usually it’s incomplete, or in many cases, broken. So it’s rare to see one completely sealed.
The set features the Thundertank versus the Nosediver in a race to the Cat’s Lair. You can see some more photos of the box Here.
Like all of 80’s pop culture, Thundercats tends to pop up in strange places. This classic video (originally filmed in 2004) shows pop culture band the Hill Valley Preservation Society performing the Thundercats theme live. It’s well done, and worth a watch if you’ve never seen it before.
According to Master Toon’s Facebook Page, we have a potential premiere date and time for Thundercats 2011. According to their posting, Thundercats 2011 will premiere on Friday July 29 at 8:00 PM EST. Right now, this should be taken as a rumor, but that seems about right.
