The Mutants of Plun-Darr were responsible for the destruction of Thundera, the homeworld of the Thundercats. Hoping to finish the job, they pursued the fleeing survivors to Third Earth, where they quickly fell under the control of the ancient sorceror Mumm-Ra. Known mutants include the lizard-man Slithe, their leader; Monkian, the scout; the cowardly Jackalman; and Vultureman, the Mutants' mechanic and the inventor of the robotic Wolfrat.

Big Bad Toy Store has a limited number of the Singapore Toys Games Comics Convention 2012 Exclusive Red Classics Lion-O up for pre-order. They have them prices at $69.99 with a scheduled arrival in October.
Ebay member babyjoeyg has a bunch of nifty Thundercats promo role play items. Looks like some were from the Panini UK Thundercats Magazine. Still, a great way to just nab the merchandise.
Pardon us if we had missed this before. But, it may be worth checking out for our UK fans. You may remember the Super Deformed Thundercats Box Set. It can still be found clogging a few shelves here in the States. But in the UK, these are being "blind bagged" and put out for sale. Youtube member jen8wolf put up a video review of them, and you can see the packaging as well as the figures in the video. Check it out below.
Just over a month ago, we reported on a series of Oversized Thundercats Figures Coming To Brazil. Now, board member NateHups has pointed us to a listing on Brazillian site Brinkel. There they have a new pic of the Panthro figure.
If you had a good laugh from the Thundercats Knock Offs posted earlier this week, then you should enjoy this as well. LiarDice Films has posted a few more pics of some of the other knock offs coming from the same Chinese company.

Diamond Select Toys and Icon Heroes are teaming up to release a box set of Thundercats Minimates. These will be available from Action Figure XPress at San Diego Comic-Con (pre-order for show pick up Here). The set include Lion-O, Panthro, Spirit of Jaga, Mumm-Ra (Mummy version) and Snarf.
Now DST has posted a nice gallery of the figures. We've mirrored the images. They can be seen by clicking the headline of the story.
Knock offs and bootlegs, you either love them or hate them. Sometimes the makers leave you no choice but to shake your head at how bad they are. Case in point here, forum member LiarDice Films found an odd Thundercats knock off box set of figures. They were too silly not to post.

Tagging along behind the rest of the Minimate Thundercats available at San Diego Comic Con is none other than Snarf!

Thanks to Dumah from Thundercats Lair, we have word that a Brazilian toy company called Bandeirantes has released a few completely new Modern Thundercats figures. They stand between 15" - 16" tall, have limited articulation and are made from Vinyl. They come with no accessories or weapons. Included are:
Lion-O
Tygra
Panthro
Cheetara
Mumm-Ra
There is also a backpack, a scooter and 2 different bikes.
If you ordered one of the Mezco Mega Scale Mumm-Ra from an online store, chances are you should be receiving that item very soon. Forum member NateHups received his from Big Bad Toy Store (currently IN STOCK) a few days ago. He snapped some pics and shared with the forum.
Bandai has updated their Thundercats Site with listings for the newer toys that have come out over the past few months. Finally adding listings for figures like Claudus, Wave 2 Panthro, Slithe and some of the others. They have also added the new role play Panthro Nunchucks. Nothing to get too excited over, but at least the site is being kept up to date.
Forum member Ravenxl7 came across an interesting item listed on a UK toy site, Lamb Toys. The listing reveals a Basic Sword of Omens and Claw Shield 2-Pack. No word if this will make it to North American retail.
ThunderCats : Claw Shield and Sword Set
Price: £18.99
Age 4+
This special set includes a Claw Shield and small Sword of Omens which can be extended from dagger to short sword. Also combine the Sword with the Claw Shield for added fun. Sword is around 27cm when extended.
This product is not suitable for children under 36 months
Here are photos of Bandai's Thundercats display at Toy Fair 2012. Unfortunately, Bandai refrained from displaying anything new. Just about everything on display were figures that are already available, or were previously shown via official images.
Forum member NateHups was kind enough to share photos of the newly released Super Deformed Thundercats Box Set. The set is a collection of stylized cartoonish versions of characters from the Modern Thundercats show. The set includes:
Big Bad Toy Store has posted a pre-order for the upcoming Mega Scale Panthro by Mezco. The listing comes with a new official photo. BBTS lists Panthro for a July 2012 release, and a price of $34.99.
Finally, some real and fantastic news. Fans of Mezco's 14" Mega Scale Thundercats look to be in for a real treat. MTV Geek got a behind the scenes look at the making of the Mega Scale Mumm-Ra, and with it comes a first look at PANTHRO! Not only that, but we get a fleeting glimpse at, what appears to be, a Mega Scale Mumm-Ra Mummy! Mumm-Ra is scheduled for release in May, with Panthro coming later this year.
