Wes Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 These look awesome! As we knew they would. I wonder if they ended up giving Pumyra a lasso like the kittens. I don't see it in there, but they have certainly have been known to surprise us with extras before. Once again, thanks to both companies for making these happen! I really never thought I'd see such a complete set of these guys again after the original series. Silverhawks and Tigersharks just HAVE to happen!!!! Maybe only 3 boxsets of each? Silverhawks Boxset 1 with Quicksilver, Mon-Star pre-transformation, Bluegrass and Melodia (Tally Hawk companion) Silverhawks Boxset 2 with Steelheart, Steelwill, Copper Kid, Lt. Stargazer Silverhawks Boxset 3 with Mon-star tranformed, Mo-lec-u-lar, Mumbo Jumbo and Buzzsaw (Mon-star's bird sidekick) *Silverhawks would come with removable wing pieces and swappable head pieces to create their "mask down" looks Tigersharks Boxset 1 with Mako, Doc Walro, Dolph and T-Ray (Gup Companion) Tigersharks Boxset 2 with Octavia, Angel, Bronc, Lorca Tigersharks Boxset 3 with Captain Bizarrly, Spike Marlin, Wall-eye, Soulmate (was that the female pirate?) *Tigersharks member would have alternate parts to simulate transforming I know these wouldn't have as much appeal as Thundercats, but they could be exclusives, and I bet enough people would snatch them up. Make these now and take my money! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 I never saw Tigersharks, but I'd buy them just the same. As for Silverhawks, as much as I love these Thundercats sets, I'd love SH exponentially more. And while it would mean quite a bit of sculpting, I don't see why we couldn't get all the birds that the original action figures came with, as Lockheed-like accessories...

TM2 Dinobot Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 I still want Modern Thundercats. I liked that show a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pk13 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 I would be quite happy with a few Silverhawks box sets. I think the Thundercats line has been just about perfect as far as amount of figures made. The whole thing took a little over a year and at the end of it I look at the figures I have and feel like it's a pretty comprehensive collection. It's pretty much a perfect plan for similar properties going forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 I have even less interest in Silverhawks and Tigersharks than I did in Thundercats but chances are, Art Asylum would make them so appealing, I wouldn't be able to resist. Bastards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCDX97 Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 So, are we getting the final set this week? I've been waiting for these little guys a long time. I remember when I was a kid, flipping my TV between the Thundercats movie where these new cats appeared and the Exorcist, which scared the hell out of me. Should have just stuck with the Thundercats.

BCDX97 Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Bumped back to Dec 11th? Grrr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 We solicited them to retailers in late April/early May, so it's only been seven months. That's pretty much average for the time between solicitation and sale. We've done shorter, but we've also done longer. Packaged samples are here, so we should get the main shipment soon.

Mystery Man Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 I wish the first set wasn't so hard to get, solely for people who'd like to go back and get it now so they can collect the whole line but can't afford to pay real high prices.

hellpop Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 (edited) I'm not surprised that the first set is rare, but I am that 2,3, and 4 are pretty easy to find still. I would guess that a lot of people at San Diego that don't normally buy Minimates snatched that set up. Maybe all the Thundercats fans just wanted Lion-O and Panthro to sit in their Thundertanks.

MisterPL Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 If the first set's lack of availability is what's keeping subsequent sets from being sold, it might be wise to bookend the line with a reissue of that first set or a "Best of" assortment to give late-comers a second chance to get them all.

hellpop Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 I wonder if they can do that, or if the deal with Icon Heroes is limited. I guess it's up to Icon Heroes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mystery Man Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 I don't need set #1, but I just wrote Icon for the sake of others. Seems a good idea to re-release it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystery Man Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 And Icon Heroes email response: Hi Matt Sorry we do not have any plans to go back and produce more of Series 1 at this time. Thank you Icon Heroes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nervous Rex Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Am I the only one who got these? Bengali might be the best thundercat that has been made, he gives Llion-0 a run for his money as my favorite one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Mine are en route from Luke, and I can't wait to tear into them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Got mine yesterday and just opened them. What a fun line right through to the end. I hope this was a success for both Icon Heroes and DST because this was one of the best limited lines of Minimates ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmeaux Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 I didn't get to pick up mine until this afternoon. I agree completely with MisterPL. I'd love to see to see more lines handled like this one was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elmeaux Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Not meaning to criticize. To me, this line seemed very well planned out and that plan seemed to have a goal of being "complete" (granted, my knowledge of Thundercats doesn't go very deep so I don't doubt there are fans out there who may disagree on it being "complete.") I understand their reasons for not running all lines that way (don't want to over promise, need to anchor waves, need to spread out important characters, etc, etc) it just makes me happier when we get a product released like this.

Zombie Shakespeare Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 I agree. I believe Icon has He-Man too. I'd love to see a line of those handled similarly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
