Mezco Mega-Scale ThunderCats™ Lion-O
ThunderCats Ho!
Straight from the ThunderCats’ Lair on Third Earth, it’s Lion-O and the legendary mystic Sword of Omens.
This mega-scale figure measures over 20 inches tall from the tip of his upraised, extended sword to the soles of his Thunderian boots.
Featuring 7 points of articulation this mega figure is superbly detailed, perfectly capturing not only the iconic look of Lion-O as he appeared in the classic television series, but the essence, of Lion-O as he proudly raises the mystic Sword of Omens towards the heavens and roars out “Thundercats, Ho!” He comes complete with his impressive Claw Shield and a removable mystic Sword Of Omens.
Lion-O is packaged in a collector friendly window box that allows him to be displayed while remaining Mint In Box.

[Nintenjoe]

that looks great, but 7 points of articulation is very disappointing.

[The ill Jedi]

Yeah, sculpt and paint look great, but articulation is a bummer.

[Cheungkinmen]

Thundercats Ho, lol. Looking good.

[JonWes]

For the price point, I wouldn't be surprised if it's Rotocast too. I mean, I think it's a really fun piece as long as people aren't expecting too much. It's nice the Bandai Classics is coming, but I'm betting the paint here will blow those away... if not the sculpting.

[Kuzeh]

Ha!!
Looks closer to Lion-O than the PCS one!!
:lol!!

Didn't expect Mezco to land the TC license...
If only they did 8" figures instead!! :pray:

'tis a great year for TC fans!! :yess:

Totally agree here, with Mezco doing it. Most likely it will be like there other "big" figures at least half of it was rotocast or glorified shampoo bottle if you will.

If they do a Mumra or other bad guys then we'll talk.

[CelticPredator]

Mezco used to be the best....what the eff....

[galactiboy]

Price is quite good for this... but would make more sense to either not have articulation or make a more articulated version. 7 points (one of which is a distracting mid-forearm cut joint) doesn't make a lot of sense.

I do like that they appear to be making a more faithful rendition of the original series.

[fantasymaker]

I agree , paint , sculpt great , articulation poor.....

[theghostinside]

pretty awesome. just bring on all the cast and this will be the line to collect since it is around the cost of a motu classics figure.

[galactiboy]

Looking at this again, it seems that the shoulders might be ball jointed. I guess that way you can either have the arm up or down for display. Still kind of odd looking, but I could see it looking okay among a group of figures.

[JonWes]

It does seem that the figure won't really look right unless he's holding his sword aloft.

[Maglor]

I really like it.


And I think the right arm would look fine in a down position. :dunno

[Darth Waller]

The vintage Kenner 12-inch Boba had ball jointed shoulders and he looks fine with his arms down.

Not my photo. But I did just get mine in the mail yesterday. :yess:

EDIT: Ooooo, I just noticed Boba needs to do some manscaping. :lol

EDIT 2: Oh, wait. That's the wookiee scalp.

[Nintenjoe]

i saw the figure in person at the new york toy fair and took some pics. as disappointed as i am in the lack of articulation, this thing kicks all kinds of ***. such a great sculpt. very cartoon accurate with awesome paint. i will definitely pick one up.

Looks good, but I'll stick to the Bandai classics...
hope we see some updated pics of those guys soon...

[Maglor]

Wow! Very tempting...

[herzograven]

The sculpt and paint on this one is really awesome (never really had many issues with Mezco). I’m not crazy about articulation since I don’t play with the figures anyway, the more articulation there is the more it looks like a “toy”. I really hope they make others in this scale!!! That would be seriously awesome.

[galactiboy]

That actually looks pretty good... I only ever saw the first promo pic that was disappointing. I might pop for this, definitely prefer the style of it over the Pop Culture Shock statue.

This is pretty awesome looking... good price too!

Even though the scale is odd, it's must have for fans... no doubt!

thats actually pretty cool. might have to pick it up. wonder how long it will last in the store before it sells out.

[klocket]

That is exclusive is even better!

Damn it.

[78Myers]

Man, imagine if HT made a Thundercats line?

[78Myers]

Too bad Mezco is garbage.

The only decent thing they ever put out/acquired was "The Warriors" line, and that quickly fell by the wayside.

That looks awesome. Love it.

[galactiboy]

Don't care for it... expression is a bit funky, but mostly is the pointed teeth. In the cartoon (which is is clearly representing) the teeth were flat across.

http://dvdmedia.ign.com/dvd/image/article/675/675634/thundercats-season-one-volume-two-20051214021655220-000.jpg

I'd just stick with the regular on this one :lecture

[Maglor]

I'm thinking the "fangs" are just the flat teeth angling back...

[galactiboy]

I'm thinking the "fangs" are just the flat teeth angling back...

Hmmm... you might be right. If that is the case then I retract my complaint. Still not a huge fan of the expression, but if the teeth are flat I'm less annoyed :lol

[Nintenjoe]

is mezco's site gonna be the only way to get the exclusive besides the san diego con? i'm wondering if other legit toy sites will carry it.

[Sebastian]

BBTS is selling it but at a premium

$84.99

[Nintenjoe]

BBTS is selling it but at a premium

$84.99

no way ill be paying that much.

[Articulation Junkie]

I saw Lion-O today at Hastings for $39.99. I wanted to buy it, but I've got a few HT and third party TFs preorded. The box art was really cool with Lion-O on the front and the rest of the cats looking bad-*** as it wrapped around the right side. On the left side it had a huge THUNDERCATS logo. The paint was very clean(no smudges or over spray) and the sculpt had very crisp lines. I don't have the Hard Hero or the Popcultureshock Lion-O, but this will make a nice cheap stand in.

[Nintenjoe]

has anyone picked this figure up yet? interested in seeing some reviews.

the wording for the exclusive is throwing me off. the description says, "Interchangeable glowing eyes head and open mouth heads."
so does the variant come with 2 separate heads or is it just one head with glowing eyes and an open mouth? if that's the case i think i'll just get the regular version.

[Kuzeh]

Holy Cow!!

[cerealwarz]

I did not like this figure but it is the best recent lion-o.

Mezco's the only one that showed some new TC stuff during Toyfair... this time Panthro...

hard hero is out of business & I guess PCS will show the next one whenever I guess

[Kuzeh]

Finally got Mumm-Ra, it was on sale for $20.00 shipped from Amazon, couldn't pass!!
It's awesome! Specially for the price, it looks absolutely amazing!
I'll try to post pics later today!
Anybody else got him yet?
:rock

I'm thinking about getting him, what are your thoughts on the figure? He's quite expensive here in the UK (£40), is he worth the money?

Can you post the link you bought him from? I couldn't find that deal.

OK, as promised, here are some pics!
Seriously this figure kicks ***!!!
As simple as it is, with minimal articulation, the sculpt is pretty amazing and the size imposing, I gotta say, this one is probably my favorite Mumm-Ra rendition out there!(The Icon heroes is very good too... )
It's crazy how this one captures Mumm-Ra so perfectly, even better than the PCS one... but that's no surprise, and for the price, you can't go wrong!!
Love it!!

My only nitpick is the inside of the mouth... it's kind of flat... and looks a bit weird...
I might fix that eventually.
Oh! and the cape doesn't quite stay on the wrist bracelets, nothing major.

it was sold by Amazon... guess the deal is over...
I actually bought the last one I guess, it said "Only 1 Remains in Stock"
maybe that's why.

[moregore]

These Mumm-ra Statues are awesome! Excellent detail.

[SwampYack]

i just got my Mumm-ra in yesterday and BR Joker the day before that. I got lion-o last year at Toys R Us for $25 and this Mumm-ra at BBTS for $35. I think they are definatly worth the buy. I loved the ThunderCats and was excited for the figure rereleases (6" and 8")until i seen them, but these mega scales dont diappoint.

http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t270/cthibodeaux/SAM_0099.jpg

[TrackerPredator]

Wow, he looks really nice! I bit the bullet and bought him, should be here today or tomorrow :yess:

[lomous]

didnt know they were that big they dwarf the 1/6th scale figures... great pics!

[MANDO]

Mumm-Ra looks awesome! Definitely looking forward to grabing that one. Hoping to see Tygra and Cheetara at SDCC. Shame Mezco couldn't do the smaller scale figures too. Their Hellboy lines were fantastic.

[Kuzeh]

Well, well...
this is bittersweet...
Mezco SDCC exclusive is:

hundercats 14" Glow-in-the-Dark Mumm-Ra 2-pack
Write A Review

This Summer Exclusive features a glow-in-the-dark, blue-skin Mumm-Ra and comes packed with his decayed form version, created from an entirely new sculpt, showing him in his decrepit natural state.

Normally old and decrepit, he transforms himself into the powerful Mumm-Ra the Ever Living by reciting the incantation "Ancient spirits of evil, transform this decayed form to Mumm-Ra, the Ever-Living!" Based on the the original animated series, this mega-scale figure is 14" of evil ancient fury!

Mezco’s Mumm-Ra is superbly detailed, perfectly capturing not only the iconic look of Mumm-Ra the Ever Living as he appeared in the classic television series, but the essence of his villainy as he spreads his arms wide and swears to destroy Lion-O.

Mumm-Ra features 8 points of articulation as well as a real cloth cape and bandages. Both come packaged together in an oversized collector friendly box. This is a non-numbered limited edition item. Edition size TBD.

Shipping: July/August 2012.

I mean, it's awesome but kind of a slap in the face to those who but the regular Mumm-Ra IMO...
Regardless... I'll be getting this guy... it looks too awesome and I've been waiting for a Decaying form Mumm-Ra for years... I was so bummed when hard Heroes cancelled theirs.
This one is just too awesome!

[galactiboy]

Out of curiosity... is Mumm-Ra's head in scale with a Jakks body? I'd love to take this figure and make a more articulated version? But being 14" I'm guessing he's too big.

[JonWes]

That SDCC exclusive is AWESOME! With Bandai's fail, I might actually get into this line. I was excited at the start, but then was a bit afraid of the scale. But getting the whole gang in this scale might be cool. I do feel bad for those who already got Mumm-Ra though.

[Nintenjoe]

I haven't gotten Mumm-Ra yet so I might as well wait for the 2-pack. All depends on price though. I really don't feel like spending a lot on this line since they're basically statues.

[phoenixram1977]

Mezco website has the two pack for pre-order @ $50.....

[JonWes]

That's not too bad since the regular version is $30+

[MANDO]

I LOVE Mezco! :monkey2

[Otomofan]

The line will continue? Awesome!

Just got Mumm-Ra two pack for xmas and it's freaking RAD....it's the Mumm-Ra I wish I had as a kid....it's SOOO big too! And the mummy version is just the icing on the cake!

Makes me reallllly wanna get Lion-O now, at least....

If Cheetara indeed makes it to production, hopefully they can at least get Tygra out there too and complete the main team. Which BanDai certainly didn't manage to do....

[Kuzeh]

Oh yeah!!
I was holding up on Panthor because I wasn't sure if the line would continue,
but now! I will get Panthro AND Cheetara!! :rock!
With the failure of so many TC lines, I'm glad Minimates and Mezco are still going!

[wolvie9]

panthro and lion-o were both clearance for $20 each if u see them kuzeh hit me up ill want one of each ill do the same for u with the panthro

[Kuzeh]

Panthro was $20.00 at one point last year on Amazon, but I had too much going on at the time... :(

[Wah]

that's awesome! i was worried the line might have stalled at panthro, but luckily its still on. need to complete the team. lets not stop at just cheetara and tygra, lets get both the kit twins as well too mezco!

[Kuzeh]

I want Tygra next for sure, but I'd rather get some Mutants or even Jaga before the kittens... Can you imagine Ss-slithe in this scale!! :pray:

[Wah]

I want Tygra next for sure, but I'd rather get some Mutants or even Jaga before the kittens... Can you imagine Ss-slithe in this scale!! :pray:

yeah, having the other mutants would be nice and all, but i don't see the line going that far out...so if its limited wouldn't you want at least the kit twins so at least you could finish the core team?

[Kuzeh]

Nope! :D
:lol

Gimme Tygra and Mutants...
Jaga can wait...
so can the kittens...

[MANDO]

I was hoping they wouldn't follow Panthro with another villain. I think that could've torpedoed the line. I think Cheetara's the obvious choice though. Really hope they churn out Tygra by the end of the year. This line kicks so much ***! :yess:

[Kuzeh]

Some pics of Cheetara pre-ToyFair!
Looks amazing!!
:rock!

[Frank Jaeger]

cheetara looks good, i have them all bar the sdcc lion-o and mumm-ra versions

P****d me off actually i paid for a regular mumm-ra in the UK, only to find out a couple of months later they were going to release it with the decrepit version. They should of also included mar-mutt

The prices over here are just ridiculous, £80 when it's up for pre-order on the mezco site for $50. If it wasn't such a hassle getting them over with customs charge etc

They'll obviously carry on the line i doubt they stop it without doing at least tygra, wily kit & kat and i'm hoping snarf too.

I'd like the mutants, jaga and grune. Hopefully somebody will remake the thundertank
