Mystery Man Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 She looks great! I wish they'd released her in the line.Also, a Thundarr (and MOTU) line would be the best idea ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatcow Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Does anyone know where I can get the SDCC 2012 series 1 boxset? I was late on this series, as I am on most toy purchases and am now in desperate search of one. I have found one on Amazon for 99. I realize that's not the greatest source but I have seen nothing on eBay and have no idea what these are going for. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

DSTZach Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 (edited) That might be as close as there is to a standard. Surprised there is so little on eBay. Loose set of three (no Jaga) starts at $50: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Thundercats-Minimates-SDCC-2012-LION-O-PANTHRO-MUMM-RA-SNARF-Loose-RARE-HTF-/131083666209?pt=US_Action_Figures&hash=item1e85320321 Loose Jaga is yours for $10: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Thundercats-Classic-Minimates-2012-SDCC-Thundercats-1-Jaga-/121050408318?pt=US_Action_Figures&hash=item1c2f2aa57e Have you checked the Flea Market for trades or sellers?

THE_CRIPPLER Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 So are the Thundercats minimates officially done with? I would love to see another two or three sets. Snowman and Snowmeow Hachiman Safari Joe Evil Lion-O (Mum-ra disguised as Lion-O). He could come with a regular Lion-O head and one with glowing eyes. That way people that can't find a series 1 Lion-O would be able to have one. Lunataks set: Luna Amok Tug Mug Chilla Beserkers set: Hammerhand Topspinner Ram Bam Cruncher Mandora Turmegar Captain Shiner Dr. Dometone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninja Mate Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 yeah, they are done. I would also love more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Politician Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 We got a really good run out of these though, DST covered just about all the major characters. I'd be curious if sales were good enough to warrant a second run of the very first boxset though? Or if their deal is done and that's it.

MisterPL Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Don't forget; this wasn't DST's deal. It was Icon Heroes that held the license. Icon simply hired AA to develop the Minimates and Diamond to distribute, not unlike DC Direct's line of Minimates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 I think this line went way deeper than could have been reasonably expected from a "vintage" license. Set 1 is a rarity, but all four of the other sets still linger at clearance prices on AFX. I love that AFX/Icon made this a labor of love, and I hate that they probably took a huge financial hit making them happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Set 1 is a rarity, but all four of the other sets still linger at clearance prices on AFX. That might be because Set 1 is such a rarity. I know I waited 'til the last minute to get that first set after seeing the third (and almost missed it). Is any fan likely to buy the last four and not care if they get the first? I'm not a fan so I honestly don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bzorio Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 I know a few friends who would buy the entire line IF they could buy set 1. I guess this is the same situation of a lot of people. They do want Thundercats minimates but only getting the first set before of all the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 For such an old property, I would guess it's mainly nostalgia driving the purchase decision. Of course people who want to collect all of them would want the first set, but with the first set having completely sold through, them must be just as many people who were content to get Lion-O and call it a day. If they were produced in equal numbers (or even in subsequently decreasing numbers), it seems backwards to assume the later sets didn't sell out because the first one did.

JediJohnson Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 The first set arguably had the most popular 'Cats in it. So people who loved Lion-O were done. Another reason could be that people bought the first set, then decided they didn't really care for minimates. Or the price for a full set wasn't worth getting the mates they wanted. Hey, the first set also had QC problems, so people may have bought another set hoping for a fix. Myself, I bought the first set because I love the idea of Thundercats and most of the designs, but I was never really into the show as a kid. I totally skipped the bad guy set because, well, to me the characters were 'meh' 'cause I don't have the affection for the source material. I would like a Tigra and Cheetara, but have no interest in the kid cats. So, I'm skipping that set because the price is too high for 2 mates.

hellpop Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 I remember Chuck saying that Pat from AFX was looking into doing another run of the first set, which I think would be very smart. I wonder how many people looking for that set are thrown off by the one with lil' Lion-O. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 (edited) I keep desperately hoping that these did well enough for Icon to consider pushing for MOTU minimates. I'm not a 'real' Thundercats fan, but i bought every set. Hopefully that says something good about the line.

MisterPL Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 I'm not a Thundercats fan at all. I was a little interested in the new cartoon but I never watched the original series. I just thought these looked like fun little figures and had to have them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TENIME_art Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 They gave us Lynx-O, Pumyra, and Bengali. I am quite happy with the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nervous Rex Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 They gave us Lynx-O, Pumyra, and Bengali. I am quite happy with the line. Agreed! I'm Quite happy with this line, only two figures out of the whole line that I don't like (the figures themselves I don't find appealing, not the characters) Only other thing I would have liked to see would have been a Snowman, and Hachiman, but I'm totally cool without. If MOTU is never going to happen, I would love to see something like a "best of 80's" lineup, with characters from properties like , centurions, bravestar, tigersharks, sectaurs, visionaries, just to name a few(and not get carried away) Like someone said earlier, a lot of people may have just wanted Lion-O, so this line would have maybe the one main good guy, from each show in a few boxsets, or may be a series of Vs. 2-packs, with the good guy and badguy......at least thats what I'd like, lol man was Thundercats a great run of minimates!
