I don’t know if I’m gonna go further into the rabbit hole with this line now that I completed the core team.
I will be getting this one for sure if he is taller than the original Lion-Os but no further. If they give us a pinless Panthro I might consider it but that’s about it.
 
Not sure this one is going to be an improvement. Took some screenshots of a video on Facebook shot at SDCC and he looks the same size as the previous versions.

Bottom is the screen shot. Top left is a mock-up of what I think his height will be and top right is what Super7 advertised we’d get. Not exactly accurate.
 
Not sure if there's a Mondo Thundercats thread or not, but I just gotta say, their Lion-O has the single best head sculpt I've ever seen for the character. After dozens and dozens of interpretations over the last 40 years, I think this is truly the ultimate rendition.

If it wasn't a grossly overpriced oversized figure, I'd want to get it. I'm not a fan of their business model of essentially selling up-scaled 6 inch figures for several hundred dollars a piece. A shame they never made smaller versions of their Turtles...those might be the best, too.
 
Here’s a better comparison

What we are getting vs what we were shown based on this picture.

Which means he will most likely be skinnier than the original figure. More proportioned but still not as tall as he should be and not taller than the other Thundercats.
 
Target Exclusive Deluxe figure photos are showing up on the socials. Mixed reactions.

Chest is too squat. Looks like he is hunched over.

If you raise the chest it would look more accurate and proportionate even though the chest looks too small.
 
Typical human proportions should be eight heads tall. The size of your head, from the top of your head to your chin, should be one eighth of your height. Not everyone is perfectly proportionate but this is the standard. Here’s what we are getting with Lion-O. Standard on left and what we are getting on the right. He’s only 7 1/3 heads tall. He should be 8.

More photos have been popping up of the Target Exclusive Deluxe versions. Showing SUPER7 greatly underscaled Lion-O again.

Not my photo but you can see the problem. Lion-O should be taller than Tigra and about 10% bigger than he is.

Here is a mockup I made to show how he should look.

This is how much bigger he should be.
