Thundercats 2011 Variants...
2 Attachment(s)
I was at Toys R Us today and finally got a Grune figure...however I think it's a variant. The chest doesn't have a Mumm-Ra symbol it has a Thundercats one. I took some photos of it.
|
Whoa! That would be the first variant I've heard about!

Finding one figure that has different paint apps (or box for that matter) does not make it a variant. That makes it a factory error. It has to either be confirmed by the company or wide spread enough to count as a variant.
|
Finally someone else has the same. I did some research and no one knew what I was talking about. A rep at bandai said it must have been a very small error as the official Grune has the Mumm-Ra logo.

I've been to 10+ Walmarts and 5 TRUs and only seen Grune once, period. His logo is the normal Mumm-ra design. That error Grune is cool and someone would probably pay a pretty penny for it.
|
I offer 50 bucks if you wanna sell it?
|
Have yet to seen Grune at all in stores (Bought mine online). Definitely a very cool find though!
|
ive seen 3 grunes but have not payed attention..would be a cool variant if ligit

I don't really want it, but it's definitely not a defect or error. It's show accurate.

Grune's armor while he is still a Thundercat http://www.thundercats.ws/news/attac...1313808664.jpg Grune's armor after he goes to the forces of evil. http://www.thundercats.ws/news/attac...1311999340.jpg they look nothing alike....so to say it is a variant with the thundercats symbol is crazy. Its a totally different outfit. so for Bandai to slap a thundercats logo on the Evil Grune Armor is just stupid and totally inconsistant with the show. imo, still a freakish factory error. |
If I saw one in store I would pick it up just for kicks , but I am not paying some whack a doo price for it. I am just as happy with my regular Grune.
and I am not sure it is a variant or error , he never appeared in the show with the symbol on his chest. Maybe down the road there will be a twist and Grune will join the Thundercats lol and this is an early spoiler :eek: |
Doesn't matter what he is currently, or even what armor he wore when. He used to be a hero, and this simple deco variation represents that point without Bandai having to make a whole new figure.
|
I have yet to see a Grune in any store around here!
|
I think it's kind of cool myself, but I'm happy w/ the "corrected" version.
|
Sorry to discuss vintage variants, but I need some info regarding vintage Bengali variants. I have 1 Bengali with head moulded in white painted blue and another head moulded in blue painted white. Which one is rarer and where does each variant come from....please help.
|
If anyone spots one of these at retail and doesn't want it, or finds an extra one, could you pick it up for me? PM me if you have one and I'll get you the money to cover item cost and shipping(plus a bit for your time)! I'd really appreciate it!!! :]

I just want more store chains than TRU to carry the deluxes. There isn't a TRU in my area so I'm outta luck for Grune who is the only deluxe I want. I occassionally get to visit a TRU in Huntsville but they are moving so stocking is a moot point and the TRU I get to visit once in awhile in Memphis seems to have all of them BUT Grune...This line reminds me of as a kid when GI Joe started and there were only 2 Cobra figures and I wanted more villains. There are only 3 so far in Thundercats and I have two of them but I WANT GRUNE:mad:
|
I havent bought a grun figure yet and if this is really rare I might pick one up very cool!
|
i cant find any grune figures anywhere hes the only 1
|
Gave up and ordered one from TRU since they seem to be the cheapest overall online. Figure the extra 7 bucks I spent for him easily could have been spent with just one hunting trip for him. This way no more hunting for him, he's coming to me. Now to start saving for the Thundertank :}
|
No kidding I want a grune bad can't find him anywhere it's driving me crazy
|
Thats crazy but pretty sure thats a factory error.. Best way to figure it out is contact Bandai and ask them if there are variants...Usually though if its a variant they would show up more often too..
|
I just came back from Toys R Us and found Grune with the Thundercats logo! I guess that brings the total to 3. It's a small pain to post pics but I can if someone needs me to. They just restocked the deluxes and the only Grune there was the Cats logo version. I have one of each now.
|
just checked mine after seeing this and i got mine at TRU as well, luckily i opened the one from amazon because the packaging was bad. here's a pic.

My guess is that it is NOT a factory error and is in fact a variant. Happy hunting!

Case in point, this guy right here: YOJOE.COM | Sgt. Stalker The first variant was confirmed by Hasbro to be a factory error. |
