And now for Panthro:

This was where I initially started scratching my head. Is this an all new figure or did they just tweek the existing mold?



You can see new details on the sculpt such as dimples filled in on the raised bumps on his belt to the left and the right of the thundercats symbol. I originally thought just his head and arms were new but then I started looking at other minor details. One the first version there was just one screw in the Panthro figures lower back area and it was in the center of his lower back. Now on the new figure he has 2 screws in the same area - both are left and right of center in the same region as the previous figure. The new figure does come with a new coiled nunchuck accessory. The coiled nuncheck accessory is inaccurate now with the new figure - the new version does not have the fists at the end of the nunchecks. Something else Bandai did was fill in the shoulder joint holes on the new versions of all of these figures.

But again, Panthro has also loss ankle articulation in this new version for whatever the heck reason... Also his new arms have no articulation below the elbow. One thing I do like about this new version is the paint job. I already mentioned in my previous post that they took away his goofy lips, but I also like how the new version is not glossy. Ad since you cant tell from the pic quite that well, his nunchuks are painted appropriately now.
