...Collectors should see about two waves per year...

Though honestly, four a year is better than the line ending after just Lion-O and Tygra. Hopefully the line continues to sell well enough for Bandai to continue it for as long as possible.

Quote:

...Bandai hopes to expand the classics line into other categories in 2012...

This possibility will make-up for the halving of each years releases, assuming they actually do expand the line into other categories. A Cat's Lair and ThunderTank would be amazing.

Quote:

...Bandai’s goal is to build the main team and then expand character selection...

Which isn't surprising. No matter how many they release in a year, they were always going to make the main team first, and then expand outwards.

Quote:

...Collectors could have all six Thundercats in the classics line by the end of 2012...

So basically they're telling us that next year's four figures are going to be Panthro, Cheetara, Wilykat, and Wilykit, and that we'll have to wait for 2013 for any villains...F$@&%

Quote:

...the mutants are coming later this year...

Good to know. Hopefully we get some more figures in the 6" line too. Though the lack of any mention to it's future is a little troubling...

Quote:

...We will also see more role play items in 2012 to expand on the Claw Shield and Sword of Omens...

Hopefully this means we'll be getting a deluxe Claw Shield at some point. Would be nice to have one not made for small children.
