We were invited out to a Mezco Pre-Toy Fair Event today. At the event, they announced the release of a Thundercats Mega Scale Tygra! That’s right, we’re going to be one step closer to finishing the line up of 14″ Classic Thundercats!
We also found at that Mezco has the ability to do Thundercats in their One:12 Collective 6″ Scale Figure lineup. they don’t have any current plans to do so, but the ability, if they so desire, is there.
Check out the announcement artwork after the jump.
Over at Toyark.com, we posted an update on the Prototype Z Thundercats License. We hadn’t heard or seen anything since the beginning of the year, but Thundercats Lair managed to snag an update from sculptor Erick Sosa. These will be unpainted resin model kits, with Mumm-Ra and Lion-O being first up. Assembly will be required on these. Their unpainted resin kits sell for between $160 – $230, but there’s been no mention of price at this time.
They are looking for Lion-O to be approved by October. Read on to see a few in-progress 3d sculpts.
Check out our gallery of Funko’s Thundercats Pop! Vinyl Figures. Lion-O and the gang have gotten the stylized Pop! treatment and the result are some of the best Pop! figures that you can buy now. Lion-O, Mumm-Ra, Panthro, Cheetara, and Snarf comprise the first wave of figures. While there’s no word on a second wave, enough characters didn’t make the cut to easily get at least one more set from the line, and hopefully more. The toys come courtesy of site sponsor Entertainment Earth.

I’m sure many of you have already seen most, if not all of these images. But right now, what else are we going to report on? Thundercats Art Director Dan Norton has always updated his Deviant Art Gallery with concept art. Since the last time we reported on his updates, he’s added a lot more. Including alternate outfit concepts and never used characters. Even some concepts he pitched to Wildstorm, years ago, for their comic.
We’ve mirrored a bunch of them, but you can check out the rest at his Gallery.
The day we have been equally looking forward to and dreading has come and gone. The season finale for the Thundercats reboot has aired. Lion-O and crew face off against Mumm-Ra’s forces in Avista. But someone on the team plots against them.
