I'm interested, hopefully we get more then just these, would be nice to see all the classic Thundercats released. Anthro Battle Cat is weird, but I suppose makes sense.

A nice design point I'm seeing is that most of these can be part swapped into purely "Classic Thundercats" iterations. I think it's a nice concession to the fact Thundercats has such little product at retail, where as TMNT has a host of stuff in the 5-ish scale.

I'll likely get the Cheetara. If they bring out a Pumyra, I'll definitely get it. What would be even better, though, would be Thundercat toys that are widely available so I don't have to pay $50+ online.The only Thundercat toy I've seen at brick and mortar in, like, forever, is the Super 7 Monkian I showed off in the dedicated TC thread.

This is very cool. But I really wonder how we're going to incorporate the Thundercats elements into regular MOTU guys. Like the TMNT crossover had HeMan and a few other heroes get mutated into monsters by the enemies. Im curious how that element will play out in future waves. BattleCat and Skeletor are pretty much the most obvious (but AWESOME) options here.

When I was younger I had the original Lion-O and Mumm-Ra figures, with the light up eyes. I liked them a lot, but it's been a long time since I had them and I remember they didn't work with much of anything else I had.

I was looking at these again, and while I don't want or need a 'whole cast', the idea of being able to get those two in a size that would 'toss in' with the MOTU stuff I have (Grayskull, some vehicles) is great. And being able to switch out parts for different ideas without buying another figure is nice, too. I never did get a Skele-God toy, this might work fine as a sub.

Having finally looked it up, I still wonder if the Thundercats Heman is actually INTENDED to be a homage to 200x version King Grayskull. It certainly could pass as a workable version for anyone who was unable to get the crowdfund Eternia exclusive one.

I am glad they left the Sword of Plundarr as-is without trying to crossover it, and the regular Sword of Omens too. I love the merged one but to have the classic weapons still identifiable for their respective figures is a plus for me. Though I do plan to share the glow in the dark horned staff that came with my Super7 glow mummy Mumm-Ra with Skele-Ra if I get one. The super7 figure being pretty short, it will actually work assuming the Crossover-Ra is the larger body style.

Official images are out of wave 1, and a group shot featuring wave 2. As are preorders for wave 1.

Really tempted to go all in. Thundercats fits my vibe of Masters of the Universe FAR better than TMNT (where I mostly got MOTU variants, Mekanek and Clamp Champ are AMAZING), and Mattel is playing a lot of love to classic TCats fans with plenty of parts to “classic-ize” the new figures. At least the the first couple waves check off the “essentials” for casual TCats fans. Also, Skell-Ra is NOT a retailer exclusive.

He-Man is a highlight for me. Has some nifty new parts and with pieces from the 200x He-Man, might make a REALLY remix.

I think Lion-O and Mumm-ra are winners, though I wish they'd given Cheetara full replacement boots rather than just partial lower legs, the MOTU boot bottoms stick out with her show-look.

I love the reversible Sword of Omens, but is Lion-O's hand totally replaced BY the claw shield? Fisto homage?

Panthor seems oddly thin, though it may just be picture perspective.

No, his forearms are oddly elongated. Hes also missing his chest coloration so it makes him look off.

I may have preordered the whole first wave on Amazon. Just because of the whole Tariff thing it seemed smarter to have them locked in at this price. Just in case.

-ZacWilliam, and yes Panthro's forearms look too long but otherwise I think the rest of them mostly work.
