Toy Fair 2012 - Detailed Pics of Thundercats display

How.... Underwhelming. Not one surprise. Not one exclusive or incentive to be excited about these toys. Bandai is going to ensure that this line fails. That, coupled with no new episodes airing for so long = fail.

Unfortunately I think this line failed when Bandai was announced as the company to get the license. Most of the product shown at the NY Toy Fair is already out in stores, nothing new and that isn't surprising...I think they spread themselves thin by doing 4", 6" and 8" figures...I think the 6" figures for the modern figures and 8" for the classics would've been a success. Oh well, time to retire back to the MOTUC realm while day dreaming about Mattel doing Thundercats figures.

Mainly North American toy companies and distributors. You will see some non-U.S. toys there, but mainly because they are being sold via companies like Diamond, Sideshow, etc.

Customers come to NY Toy Fair from around the world but the major international retailers don't really bother with it anymore. It's mostly smaller Mom & Pop shops that attend. Hasbro and Mattel have their own buildings in downtown Manhattan and they have their own setups all year round. The time when customers came to Toy Fair to place their toy orders for the whole year are over. Toy companies now work directly with retailers to get the toys into the market all year round. I think the SDCC has stolen a lot of the Toy Fair's thunder so it may be possible to get some kind of announcement for new product then. Who knows?

if things these are still to show up at retail could that be why there was nothing new at toy fair?
