delta chameleon Posted June 26, 2012 Posted June 26, 2012 Hello Everyone, The official Thundercats facebook page has updated their page with a picture of the first Thundercats minimate, Spirit of Jaga. Here's a link to their post about it: I am very excited about this. But I am wondering if they are going to make an entire set or wave of these? I wouldn't think they would do something along these lines just for a single figure. But you guys know minimates better than I do. What do you think? I am really hoping to see Lion-O, Panthro, Tygra, etc... in Minimate form. Quote
hellpop Posted June 26, 2012 Posted June 26, 2012 It's most likely part of the final AFX SDCC exclusive. Pretty cool. Glad I never made Thundercats customs. Quote
MINI_MYTE Posted June 26, 2012 Posted June 26, 2012 Nice. :biggrin: I wonder if AFX & DST know somebody let the "cat" out of the bag before their official announcements? Can't wait to see more. BTW, could somebody pick up Lobsterman's jaw off the floor. Quote
groundhog7s Posted June 26, 2012 Posted June 26, 2012 Yeah, I wonder if they realize someone stole their thunder... I know no one predicted these, but I'll say that I'm pleasantly (un)surprised. I loved ThunderCats as a kid, but I just couldn't stand the toys or the cartoon. The idea was great though and I love the idea of Minimates of them. Hopefully this line will last long enough to do the name justice. Anyone else think this is one set that might sell out at SDCC? Quote
youbastards Posted June 26, 2012 Posted June 26, 2012 I'm not at all a fan of the franchise, but I have to say this one looks nice. Can anyone confirm, are these based off of the old series or the recent one? Quote
Psyguy Posted June 26, 2012 Posted June 26, 2012 Well, there goes my Marvel-only collecting rule! Quote
Heroic Slacker Posted June 26, 2012 Posted June 26, 2012 (edited) Thundercats Minimates are on the move. Thundercats Minimates are loose Thunder Thunder Thundercats HOOOOOOOO! This is such awesome news. So is the Thundertank going to be a Minimate vehicle or is it a statue? Edited June 26, 2012 by Heroic Slacker Quote
MsMarvel fan Posted June 26, 2012 Posted June 26, 2012 I'm in! I hope they can make the whole team. Quote
Shogi Posted June 26, 2012 Posted June 26, 2012 More of a Mumm-Ra fan than a Thundercats fan in general so I really hope there's both versions of Mumm-Ra made....and I wouldn't mind a Ma-Mutt Quote
Lobsterman Posted June 26, 2012 Posted June 26, 2012 (edited) Anyone else think this is one set that might sell out at SDCC? Based on the response on the T-cats facebook page where this was announced, I think it will probably do pretty well. One of the coolest things about this announcement? Usually we see design sheets or protos for brand new licenses, then have to wait six months to a year to actually get them. I will have Thundercats Minimates in my hand in two weeks. --- Yeah, 1200 likes and 76 shares. Might want to preorder this one. Edited June 26, 2012 by Lobsterman Quote
karamazov80 Posted June 26, 2012 Posted June 26, 2012 Hell yeah! Spirit of Jaga made me think of this, btw: http://www.x-entertainment.com/articles/0883/ Quote
funkguerilla Posted June 26, 2012 Posted June 26, 2012 Color me shocked that this actually happened. I thought it would be rampant speculation that led to a letdown. I've never been so happy to be wrong. Can't wait to see Lion-O. Quote
battlecat Posted June 26, 2012 Posted June 26, 2012 Color me shocked that this actually happened. I thought it would be rampant speculation that led to a letdown. I've never been so happy to be wrong. Same here, totally stunned that it's actually this. I was expecting some weird movie like DSS. This rocks. Quote
storm 1:08 Posted June 26, 2012 Posted June 26, 2012 Based on the response on the T-cats facebook page where this was announced, I think it will probably do pretty well. --- Yeah, 1200 likes and 76 shares. Might want to preorder this one. More than a few comments on the Facebook page think it's Lego Thundercats... Plus side is lots of new potential addicts to Minimates. :biggrin: Quote
Nervous Rex Posted June 26, 2012 Posted June 26, 2012 My effin dream come true! Really. Since the first minimate I got, and seeing minimyte's lion-0 all those years ago, I've wanted these. I've had a lion-0 99% done for months, and a panthro about 50% done. Question is, do I even post them now? I swore they were gonna be shown at toyfair, and was so let down that they weren't Now where is that thundertank! Quote
Twisted Two-Face Posted June 26, 2012 Posted June 26, 2012 I'm more surprised people are surprised. I'll buy the exclusive, not sure if i'm sold on the entire line. As i said in the SDCC thread, i watched Thundercats reruns as a kid and enjoyed it but was never obsessed or felt the need to have figures or anything. I like the way Jaga looks though. I expect mummy Mumm-ra to be in this, with big Mumm-ra coming later. Dunno about the others though. Quote
Lobsterman Posted June 26, 2012 Posted June 26, 2012 Nerv, your work is always a wonder to behold! I'd love to see yours, regardless of the "official" ones. :biggrin: Now where is that thundertank! Right here Quote
pawcanada Posted June 26, 2012 Posted June 26, 2012 Well, there goes my Marvel-only collecting rule! Second. Just when my wallet thought I'd curb my spending and started to limit my collection, THIS had to happen Have to say, of all the exclusives this is the one that interests me the most. Can't wait to see more Quote
Mattallica Posted June 26, 2012 Posted June 26, 2012 I've got the moves like Jaga......got the moves like Jaga..... Quote
luke314pi Posted June 26, 2012 Posted June 26, 2012 Anyone want me to stock the Thundertank statue in addition to the minimates? And just to clarify, yes, this is the license I was hinting at. Quote
