"Im truly sorry as i had high hopes for the ThunderCats line, but it seems that most fans only wanted Lion-O and Mumm-Ra."
I guess MJ and DN didn't get the memo. Last edited by L08e16o; 10-04-2012 at 01:23 PM.. |

This is sad. I don't normally buy statues (price), but I was seriously thinking about trying to find a way to get these. They look absolutely amazing.

Perhaps I am not in a position to talk about the statues because honestly they never appealed to me nor did I ever purchase any of them BUT, I have a problem with this line

They need to blame the TCats fans for not ordering a gorgeous statue that Khurram Alavi spent months sculpting and Mike Najera did a masterful paint job on."

I enjoy Thundercats but I do get bored of the actual Thundercats themselves, strange as that may sound. How about Grune, Ratar-o, Driller etc. Panthro, Tygra and Cheetara are three of the more boring designs of the show.

the only reason i didnt purchase one of these is the price. i was actually trying to contemplate how id get my hands on the set.
im willing to spend a whole lot more than your average kid or shopper on this stuff because im passionate about the TC universe but i just cant muster up 180$ at the drop of a hat for tygra... let alone 380 for liono. do i look at these statues longingly every few days? yes. am i willing to go into debt to attain them? not really. i paid 25$ for the liono statue where hes standing in green foliage and i probably would have paid up to 40$ for it just cause im a fan... but 180$? im still trying to muster up 100$ for the TCats Lair statue. i have a decent job and make a decent living but seriously... buying one of these statues is kind of hard to accomplish for a working father of 2. if you price your items this high then you should expect low sales either way im sad to hear any bad news concerning TCats. i actually wanted to get cheetara most. |

did they ever think that maybe they were asking to much for em and thats why no one pre-ordered? I also love how they always blame the fans, cause they obviously cant do no wrong.

These were never meant to be inexpensive products. They are very large, high end collectibles meant for people who collect high end items. If you've ever seen these in person, they are very high quality items. Having seen both the Mumm-Ra and Lion-O in person, they are stunning looking. They anticipated that there was a market for high end Thundercats statues, but they were wrong. Nostalgia alone wasn't enough to get people to spend hundreds of dollars on these. It didn't help that the Thundercats fan base just hasn't grown much with the recent relaunch of the franchise.

Awwwwwwww...sad kitty...but can't say I'm too surprised. Would have loved a Tygra one, but like so many others, just let spend that kind of $$, not this year anyway.

Can't say I'm surprised. Whether or not they were overpriced, these weren't going to sell anyways. The Thundercats fandom isn't quite large enough to support items like these.
