Forum member krazycp has noticed something very interesting. If you look very closely at the chest symbol for some of the 4″ Deluxe Grune figures, you can see the Thundercats logo has been painted over with the Mumm-Ra symbol. He supplied a photo, where you can clearly see the outline of the Thundercats symbol. I have taken the image and highlighted where you can see the symbol.

Over at the Bandai UK Twitter Feed, they have confirmed exactly what our UK fans can expect this December when the Thundercats toys launch.

On the other figures:
6″ and classic are included as well
Confirmation of vehicles:

Forum member MummRaTheEverLiving has posted photos of a possible Thundercats 2011 4″ Deluxe Grune variant. The regular Grune has Mumm-Ra‘s symbol on his chest. This version has the Thundercats logo on the chest.

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.
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!

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.
