I have literally never seen any of those Thundercats before. Am I right that the later episodes were not shown in the UK? I feel this may have been covered already, apologies if so.

They showed up in the first five episodes of season 2, which were also aired as a TV movie called Thundercats Ho! in the States... I can't remember if the episodes were shown in the UK, but I know you could buy a VHS tape of the movie there because I had one when I was a kid, and I definitely had a Bengali figure too.

Fourth box set is still coming. This one is being offered differently, through Previews. I think the Berbil is Bert.

Bert was the blue Berbil from the original toyline, but after some googling it looks like the blue Berbil that appears in the movie was actually Bob, like Slacker said. Any blue Berbil is good with me though!

Bert must be the sky blue Berbil with tan/yellow clothing. In the screen cap, he's got his back to the camera. Which means we're receiving Bob in the fifth box set. :D

Actually, I double-checked the Wiki for Thundercats, and it explains that the toy of Bert was actually Bob.

The entire movie is on YouTube, and at this point in the video, you see Ol' Tan call Ol' Blue "Bert," and Ol' Blue refer to Ol' Tan as "Bob."

So we are correcting an old error, and finally giving Bert the figure he deserves!

Apparently you're correcting two mistakes as I thought Ratar-O was supposed to be green (I only remembered the toy, but google shows me he's blue in the cartoon)

Nuts, looks like I was googling up the wrong tree! Good research, Zach.

Who thinks series 4 will be SDCC exclusive? Or do you think we will get it before then? These are easily my favorite mates of the past couple years.

Icon Heroes confirmed on their Facebook page series 4 will arrive in July. Pretty sure its going to be an Action Figure Xpress exclusive for show.
