I would imangine that these are going to be hard to find since every Walmart, KMart, and TRU has their pegs over flowing with TCats right now. There is literally no room to put these out.

Considering these are supposed to come out next month, I don't expect these 6" Classics to be anything more than an expansion of the line, and seriously doubt they are replacing the 8" scale. Especially considering since Bandai was upfront about Lion-O and Tygra being the only 8" Classics planned for this year. Still, we should wait and see, but I doubt we have anything to worry about. If anything this is a good sign, as it means the Classics line as a whole is growing, which means more opportunities for things we weren't quite expecting from them. |
Heard back from them today. Here's their response, followed by what I had written:

SUBJECT: Scale change in Thundercats Classics? CATEGORY: Customer Service This is a Question MESSAGE: Hello: I just recently invested in the new Thundercats Classics Lion-O and Tygra 8" figures, but I've recently seen solicitations for a new wave of 6" Classic figures. Is the Classics line going to be 6" only going forward, or will there continue to be Classics in the 8" scale? Thanks for your time. XXX |
pretty typical. crappy responses with little to no good info.

I still think we shouldn't have anything to worry about. Though one thing does seem odd. If these are supposed to be coming out in November, why haven't wee seen a single picture of any of them? |
So no pics yet?

Part of me is a bit annoyed that I now have 2 figures that won't ever fit in with any other line while e side of me is happy we are getting 6" classic figures.
|
Interesting to hear we're getting 6" Classics. I'm a bit disappointed because I just got both the 8" ones but I'll probably dump the regulat one, keep the SDCC one, and grab this. The 6" one would fit in nicely with Marvel Legends and DCUC for some crossover display :)

Regardless if they are dropping the 8" line or not ( I hope not! ), they are amazing figures to get. I still recommend them!

Jay from Toynewsi.com posted the following tweets recently:
"Official word on the status of both 6" and 8" Classics expected soon" #Thundercats "Nothing confirmed yet, but I have info that leads me to believe we might have jumped the gun on the #Thundercats 8" Classics demise." Exciting news if we can have both! |
If we have 6" and 8" classics how many people would actually buy both scales?

Back on topic, It's unfortunate that Bandai will have to back track on the classics line, but I think 6" classics will work out better in the long run. Maybe this is just one of the hiccups Bandai America can learn from on the road to joining the modern toy industry. Baby steps towards better Sentai (and Godzilla, fingers crossed) lines in the future. But man, can't wait for Claudus! Also, Berbils. I need them. Yesterday. Make it happen, bandai. |
I can't wait to see pictures of them! Especially the Amor of Omens! It's also really good to see these are at a reasonable price! A 12" suit of armor for $25? Yes, please!
I'm also hoping for a Jaga! :) If they still plan to make those deluxe figures, I would happily purchase a deluxe Claudis with Larry Kenny voice chip.... As for the Classics, I've only purchased Comic-Con Lion-O, so, I can wait to see what happens with the scale; I'm rather curious to know what they plan to do. I did kind of like having Thundercats figures in scale with my Final Fantasy collection though... Quote:

I'm pretty surprised Bandai cancelled the 8" classics, but I'll buy whatever classics they make...I can't stop my plastic addiction!!! :]

I'm waiting for some generic lizards to hit. I want a squad of lizard soldiers for my t-cats to woop on.

I posted in the toys thread, but I noticed yesterday that BBTS pulled down all of the new listings...
