ThunderCats Classics by Mattel

[theghostinside]

Good luck getting Lion-O for anything close to Matty's price. EBay will be flooded but I doubt sellers are going to let him go for cheap. Just see the previous Filmation He-man and Skeletor figures from earlier this year. They sold out fast and were out of customer service stock within a matter of weeks. They are closing up shop at the end of the year and won't be reissuing any figures. They aren't even making the Roton or Horde Trooper single figures according to Brady O at Matty Collector customer service. It's just subscription releases from here on out and then time to clear the warehouse.

I wasnt there for the Filmation He man or Skeletor but how quickly did they sell out? Was it about the same as Lion O or quicker?

I see the He man is going for around $150 on ebay which is nuts.

Pretty happy that I have 2 subs.

I could have ordered him but I didn't pull the trigger. Without knowing if we will ever see Mumm-Ra Battle Form or the rest of the core team I can't do it. And if by some miracle Super 7 does continue the line I figure they will re-lease Lion O due to his popularity. I don't see it happening though. I also don't see Super 7 keeping the same articulation or quality either, they like their generic super static throwback figures too much. At this point I'm hoping Mezco gets started on their Thundercats 1/12 line. That has the potential to be awesome.

Sorry but WTH is Super7

Matty is full of morons. I wasn't trying to block mine. I changed my card a few months ago because we had some card fraud on our debit card and the new one I changed for paying for my sub figures. They're somehow taking that as my card not working right

Now, I may have an out if I want it though. Is this an out? Does this mean I don't HAVE to continue now if I don't follow the steps of the email? I was kind of on the border with this recently anyway.

 

[Zodach]

If you want to block your sub, didn't you already pay the $25 subscription fee for Mumm-Ra when you signed up? I'm not sure you can get that back.

 

[lt0778]

I'm just gonna keep my sub even though it's bitter sweet. Because who knows where we go from here with this line!!

[lerath666]

Lion-O has been delayed until the end of the month. No emails or shipping for anyone yet.

 

[Thainitty]

I got lion-o a couple days ago, he's really pretty cool! A couple annoyances here and there (besides the mega annoyance of the line being dead) but overal the best lion-o yet.

thanks! Looks good, I like his face sculpt, may I ask what your annoyances are with the figure. I'm not liking his ab details from these pics but maybe they look better in hand.

Are the joints nice and tight as the usual MOTU figures and is the articulation okay

 

[Thainitty]

No problem, the articulation is good. I don't collect motuc but it's about what I expected except the head doesn't look down. All the hands/wrists have an in and out hinge and none have an up and down hinge. I like an up and down hinge on sword holding hands. There is a claw shield with the sword of omens sheathed (not removable) in it that you can hang from the belt and then the other one that you can place on the arm. I'd like to be able to sheath and unsheath the sword of omens from the claw shield...you can kinda sheath the sword but not really....that's pretty much it.. The figure looks really nice in hand and the paint apps are really clean, you will be happy and then immediately sad when you see how awesome he is and know you'll never get a complete team of thundercats that look as good

review by toynewsi with comparison on bandai 6" and MOTU
Glad there is an ankle pivot. was really worried it would skip out on that.

had to pay double though. worth it. HOOOOOOOOOO

 

[guyver1]
