karamazov80 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 And if they do decide to do smaller characters, I hope they then realize that there's no logical difference between allowing for those, and allowing for larger 2.5"-3" figures, as well when appropriate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanester Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I'll ask Pat if he can give us any kind of news on where this line is going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke314pi Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 The SDCC preorders we currently have are guaranteed. The AFX ones will go up for order after SDCC, and as soon as they are up for order, they are also guaranteed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigertail Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I'm excited about this set, Thundercats was one of my favorite cartoons! Hopefully AFX will have some online on July 16th! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 OMG! Zach said Bionic Six! You can't take it back now! I say a lot of things. Zach didn't mention tmnt in the unlikely to happen list. Prepare to get shell shocked!! I don't say a lot of things. Thank-You AFX for consistently providing the cool (when DST seems afraid to take the risk)! Icon Heroes got the license, AFX is just distributing for them. But AFX is definitely pretty great. Pat is a great dude. I hope the set does well for both companies. It looks like a slam dunk.

dj87 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Being in the Uk, I don't recognise any of the other hero characters gh7s mentioned. Of course, Vultureman and his ilk are a must. I really can't think past 2 waves or 2 additional box sets of these guys. I think they're beautiful looking though, and delighted they are the classic designs. I loved the cartoon as a boy... my brother and I used to meet up with our cousins, as we had all the toys between us. They say never meet your heroes, and I think going back and watching programs from your childhood is a big no no as well... really hard to watch. You can't beat classic designs, but I'm glad the new cartoon has got some love on here, it is certainly well written and absorbing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostisfire Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Zach didn't mention tmnt in the unlikely to happen list. Prepare to get shell shocked!! I don't say a lot of things. You mean that you are designing them and they are not ready to be shown? Backstage stuff,right? Gotcha I'm going to bring my turtle ban back from the dead (or the storage) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mnemosis Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 These look amazing! I can only hope they are successful and more are released in the future. Thundercats HOOOOO! Well, there was Bengali, Linx-O and Pumyra who showed unp in series 2. Also Claudus (the previous lord of the cats) and Jagara were somewhat notable. Plus the villians Slyth, Vultureman, Jackalman, Monkian, Ratar-O and Ma-Mutt were on regularly. There's a little more depth, but not enough to really drag it out. Snowman and Snowmeow, Hatchiman, Mandora, the Berserkers, the Lunattacks, the Bearbils, Captain Shiner... Exactly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mystery Man Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I hope they get to make more than just this one boxed set. Thundercats was a show I didn't get to see as a kid, but always wanted to. I even had a couple of the toys and always really liked 'em, even though I didn't know who characters were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nervous Rex Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 So, I figured I'd post these here as well as my customs page. I guess its lousy timing on my part, but the look of the Thundercats really is my favorite of all superhero/comic/movie/etc... Maybe not as good as the official, but these are my attempt at them, Panthro is about 90% done, just needs a face decal, and paint on his boots, wrist, and other straps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delta chameleon Posted July 2, 2012 Author Share Posted July 2, 2012 Man, this set is just perfect. Amazing to see Panthro in minimate form. I, too, and really hoping they make more than just this set. There are so many other characters that I would love to see in minimate form. Mumm-Ra the Everliving, Slithe, Tygra, Grune, Bengali, Lynx-O, the Tiger Sharks, Monkian and Jackleman. But after this set, what I would love to see more than another other is a minimate of Claudus, Lion-O's father and previous lord of Thunderra. Like some people have already mentioned, this line is totally going to be combined with the Battle Beasts line. With just a little bit of added armor, they will fit right in with Vorin and the other beasts. Really awesome. Really hoping to see more.

battlecat Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I hope they get to make more than just this one boxed set. Well this set is called the "Series 1 Box Set" on AFX's site, and Chuck implied in the new Q&A that this is the first product in a line, so all signs point to yes.

Lobsterman Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Panthro is about 90% done, just needs a face decal, and paint on his boots, wrist, and other straps Interesting that you put sculpted ears on him, too. If I had been making a custom, I honestly wouldn't have thought to do that; I would have just gone with decals. It really does work for this particular character, though, doesn't it?

dr baghead Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Here’s some pointless wishlisting: ALL TYGRA BOX SET!!! -Tygra, with short and long whip -Phasing Tygra -Clear Tygra -Bengali: the other Tygra PVC pack-in: Wily Kat (as a call back to the original toy line where Tygra came with a PVC pack-in of Wily Kat) then the other box sets round out nicely with -Cheetara, Pumyra, Lynx-O, whatever mutant you want first. PVC Wily Kat -BodyBuilder Mumm-Ra, the other three mutants. PVC Mumm-mut the end! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aethyr Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 What about a variant set of the Thundercats based on the pilot? It'd be a way to get a child version of Lion-o and ... they weren't wearing uniforms, were they? Moving on. Seriously though, if we're allowed wishful thinking then I'd like to see the Kits in 1 inch scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WookieFodder Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 It's almost as if they made the first set too good. Even without Snarf, it's a must own boxset. With Snarf, you need a minimum of 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotcha I'm going to bring my turtle ban back from the dead (or the storage) I keep my bans in the garage. Every now and then I go out there and forbid the Rock Lords from entering the house.
