As a big fan of Thundercats, I feel sort of bad that I haven't really felt compelled to buy much of anything from the line. Literally the one figure I've bought so far has been the 8" Lion-O, and even that I'm already trying to get rid of...

Then again getting back into action figures has been sort of...rough for me. The past seven years I've been collecting Transformers, and going back to action figures just feels....weird for some reason. TF's mostly being one-scale (till Cyberverse came-along) meant that I didn't really need to do much thinking about the size of the figures. With the 4" and 6" scales to choose from, I'm really not sure which one I like more. Even after the pros/cons thread I made a while back...

Also doesn't help that my confidence in CN's handling of the show hasn't been great, even after the show turning out to be so good. I feel that by the time I actually do decide to get at least the main cast in figure form, they'll all be out and I'll have to get most of them online...

Another thing that isn't helping my situation is the fact that they've said that they main characters will over time see different variations based on how the show progresses. Meaning that what I could see as a better figure for certain characters could easily be on the horizon. Most especially when it comes to Panthro, who still hasn't gotten a properly colored figure...

I'm definitely making this harder than it needs to be. It's sorta what I do, lol...

Slithe's in wave two, though we still don't know if you'll be able to pose his arms normally without needing to alter the gimmick, and that combined with the potential lacking of elbows could ruin the figure. Personally I'm waiting to see a review.
