“ThunderCats” fuses sci-fi and sorcery to reignite the thrill of the 1980s hit television series with all the favorite characters exploring an expanded universe. It’s sure to have kids everywhere once again shouting, “ThunderCats, Ho!” Lion-O wasn’t ready to be king and he definitely wasn’t ready to be the only cat standing between immortal evil and the total destruction of his world, but fate left him little choice. Only he could lead this quest.

Licensed t-shirt manufacturer Changes is set to release some new Thundercats shirts. Thanks to the Thundercats 2011 Blog, we have learned that at “MAGIC“, Changes debuted two new shirts as part of a Warner Bros. licensee agreement.
While Warner was there to promote items for their upcoming Green Lantern Movie, they took time to announce two additional licensees. They announced that both Bioworld and Fast Forward, LLC have obtained licenses to produce Thundercats merchandise. 2011 is shaping up to be an amazing return for the ‘Cats.
You can see photos of the new shirts by clicking the headline of the story.
Over at Statue forum, PopCultureShock is asking fans what kind of poses would be fitting for a Cheetara Statue! While they say that Cheetara may not necessarily be next, that the character is definitely being looked into. After the awesome Mumm-Ra Statue Preview, fans can expect great care in the handling of Cheetara.
