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.
Looks great, if a little too blue...I'll be waiting to buy him from TRU, since he'll inevitably be ten bucks cheaper there like Lion-O is. Should be interesting to see how much articulation he'll have. I imagine it'll be right around the same as Lion-O's.

According to the preorder page he has 7 points of articulation.
Joe Moore:
For me, articulation on these is a secondary concern. I'm treating them like inexpensive, slightly articulated statues acting as a backdrop for the smaller figures. While the Lion-O was only okay, the Mumm-Ra and Panthro look to be greatly improved.

The method of counting points of articulation has always escaped me, so that seven doesn't really mean anything to me, lol...
In the end, the articulation of these isn't important to me. The pose they've got him in for this picture will most likely be how I display him anyways. He'll make a nice centerpiece to my collection.

Yep, I'm going to have to set aside some cash for this.

The 14" Mezco figures are so awesome and imo, for the money they are spot on in pricing. actually I would have expected them to be more. The paint on them is great as well as the sculpting detail.
Looks pretty damn good!
