STGCC: The Falcon’s Hangar Exclusive Bandai Mumm-Ra as Lion-O

This Bandai exclusive Lion-O from Singapore retailer The Falcon’s Hangar has been making the rounds.

No word yet if this exclusive will somehow find its way beyond STGCC, but it’s likely the only way TCats fans will be able to get their hands on an official Mumm-Ra in the 8-inch scale, even if it really is just a redecoed Lion-O.
