Thundercats Ho!

[Rollo Tomassi]

Thundercats are finally coming back to toy shelves after 25 years!!

Unfortunately, they are coming courtesy of Bandai.


That's like getting a piping hot bagel fresh from the bakery...and then shmearing babyshit on it instead of cream cheese.

or, y'know, getting a bagel anywhere but NY. a bagel anywhere else is just dough shaped in a circle.

I've never been farther east than Ohio and that was when I was a wee lad of twelve or so, so's I can't speak of experiencing a true NY bagel.

Panera has decent bagels. Then again, I hate bagels.

[Rollo Tomassi]

I used to hate bagels until we had them in the office every morning. Of course, they aren't the healthiest thing to get addicted to, so thats kinda a good thing.

Never cared about Thundercats. But I'd like some bagels.

I was kinda hoping Mattel would get the license and fold them into their MotU Classics line. I'd buy those Thundercats and I was never a big fan of the originals.

ToyFair has pics of the new Thundercats Toysfrom Bandai.

The new Thundercat Tank comes with a Snarf figure.

Here to comment on the new Toyline is our very own Snarf in 5..4..3..2..

I've got to say, I rather dig the Snarf re-design. He may have been a wet blanket, but Thundercats wouldn't be the same without him.

What a coincidence. I had a bagel this morning.

I could snarf down a bagel right about now.

It's too bad Bandai sucks so much ass. Because I'd kill for some plush Ro-Bear Berbils.

BTW, in reading reviews of the Thundercats toys online (which prompted me to return the two I'd got for Anarky Jr for Christmas), I read about a rather common problem with the Thundertank. The figures contain a chip that interacts with certain vehicles and playsets (because that always works so well, right?). Snarf's unique chip opens a hidden compartment on the Thundertank--a trunk, if you will. Snarf is the only figure who can open the compartment. Snarf has to be outside the compartment to open it. The compartment cannot be opened without Snarf, unless one actually breaks the Thundertank.

You get where this is going, right? Because what kid who has a vehicle, a figure, and a cool hiding place on the vehicle for the figure, would even think about putting the figure in there and closing the hatch? If you answered "all of them," you're absolutely right!

Bandai was hoping that would be an incentive to buy two Thundertanks.
