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.

Re: Thundercats - Large Scale Lion-O Figure From Mezco!

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

Re: Thundercats - Large Scale Lion-O Figure From Mezco!

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

Re: Thundercats - Large Scale Lion-O Figure From Mezco!

Thundercats Ho, lol. Looking good.

Re: Thundercats - Large Scale Lion-O Figure From Mezco!

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.

Re: Thundercats - Large Scale Lion-O Figure From Mezco!

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

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

'tis a great year for TC fans!!

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.

Re: Thundercats - Large Scale Lion-O Figure From Mezco!

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

Re: Thundercats - Large Scale Lion-O Figure From Mezco!

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.

Re: Thundercats - Large Scale Lion-O Figure From Mezco!

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

Re: Thundercats - Large Scale Lion-O Figure From Mezco!

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.

Re: Thundercats - Large Scale Lion-O Figure From Mezco!

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.

Re: Thundercats - Large Scale Lion-O Figure From Mezco!

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

Re: Thundercats - Large Scale Lion-O Figure From Mezco!

I really like it.


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

Re: Thundercats - Large Scale Lion-O Figure From Mezco!

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.

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

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

Re: Thundercats - Large Scale Lion-O Figure From Mezco!

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 ass. such a great sculpt. very cartoon accurate with awesome paint. i will definitely pick one up.

Re: Thundercats - Large Scale Lion-O Figure From Mezco!

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

Wow! Very tempting...

Re: Thundercats - Large Scale Lion-O Figure From Mezco!

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.
