If you’re like me, you’re in the height of Thundercats-Mania at the moment. With the new show on Cartoon Network getting better and better each week, and Bandai’s modern and classic styled toys finally starting to trickle out to retail, it’s a great time to be a nostalgia geek like myself.
So to kick things off, let’s take a few quick looks at the new 8″ Classics Tygra!
Tygra’s articulation is amazing for a Bandai product, they really went all out to make this a collector friendly line. And even better, the joints are nice and tight, so you can pull off some really acrobatiy cat-like poses.
The sculpted detail on Tygra’s head is also quite amazing, again, especially for Bandai America. The paint applications are clean, and the character representation is spot-on. If you come across these, don’t hesitate to pick one up!
These are better than Marvel and DC!
Love these toys. Was the one-foot balance difficult to pull off? My joints on all my Classics are tight, but I’m not sure they could hold his weight on the rocker alone. Either way, great shots!
Wesitron, it wasn’t hard at all, and Lion-o is just as stable, which is more than imcan say for most of my MOTUC figures.
I LOVE these! THANKS for the pics!!!
Have they announced any more of these classic style figures? I put off buying the originals to get these and I’m VERY happy I did! 🙂
@kd: i dunno about all that, especially since the only shared characteristic between the three is that they’re all action figures…but yeah these are pretty cool. I just wish they weren’t so shiny and toyish.
Brinn, Bandai hasnt announced specific characters, but theyve said they will have all the cats out by the end of next year.
WOOOO HOOOO!!! Great news! Dare I hope for the Mutants and Mumm-Ra too?? 🙂
All I need is Panthro and Mumm-Ra and I’ll be happy.
How come no one has noticed that Tygra’s eyes and brows are painted on all wrong? Notice the sculpted lines that define them on his face.
The eye and brow is clearly sculpted ON the surface, and the eye paint and brow paint is misplaced. Only real flaw i can see in this otherwise great figure, but such a terrible flaw that could have easily been avoided.
I hope it’s only on this, or a very few, sample. If it’s widespread, then i will pass on Tygra. Those eyes… 🙁
I have lion-o can’t wait for panthro and snarf.
I actually didnt notice it until i took these close up pics, its not very noticeable in hand, but I have seen many of them like this.
