ThunderCats Classics by Mattel

[Dino_Ranger_White]

Well now I feel really stupid having bought that sub. Shoot if they had at least made Tigra and Cheetara to finish the team I would at least feel like I didn't get screwed.

To be fair, when those subs were started last year, I don't really think anyone thought this is where things would end up one year later. I thought the Thundercats line would have a couple years of life, at least.

Apparently, Mattel was behind the curtains getting ready to burn it all to the ground.

It is definitely a shame to those who subbed in to Club Grayskull and Thundercats Classics.

And just like that, Thundercats Classics is DEAD.

And in no way do I see Super 7 keeping MOTUC going... They don't have the funding nor
The resources to manufacture a line like that. They are on scale with many retro art / urban art
Companies that produce small run collectibles. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

Just reading the reactions from the boards over at he-man.org and people are excited that they
Are taking over the product line from Mattel. I honestly do not see anything good about that.
They are taking it over because Mattel could give two ****s less about "adult collector" based lines.
Go back to making Barbies and Hot Wheels out the ***, Mattel.

It was a fun ride, mattycollector.com. You will NOT be missed.

It's not dead yet...it's assumed Super 7 will be the new distributor for both MOTU and Thundercats

We should hear more news late tonight or during the Con

 

[darthkush]

wow, I feel gypped if it's over just like that. We didn't even get Mumm-ra the ever living! This sucks. Super7 better take it and at LEAST let us finish the main team. This is ridiculous. If they only put out Cheetara, Tygra, and Mumm-ra, I could live with it. Bonus if they get us Slithe and Monkian to finish the main mutants. Shame about how Matty ended this though. This seemed like our best chance of getting a full line. Do you guys think this is why Mezco said they're not doing theirs until Mattel is finished? You think they KNEW mattel was almost done and just couldn't say anything?

On one hand I hope you are right because I would love to finish the Thundercats main team and get at least Teela and Man At Arms and any of the main villains filmation style but I also could save money if they are done.

From the press release I have read I am not seeing any hint of the lines continuing but I guess we will see.

 

[YoNoSe]

Thundercats is cursed. Confirmed.

 

[Otomofan]

Yeah, modern Thundercats revivals just can't seem to catch a break huh?

Mezco managed to get the main four heroes along with Snarf and both versions of Mumm-ra in their giant vinyl figure line. I suppose that's as good as it's gonna get.

After Bandai and Mattel dropping the ball like that, I can't see ever getting a full line-up in One:12 either.

 

[Thainitty]

Well I'm not happy at all. I'd guess Mattel knew they would be closing matty down and yet they still couldn't make this first and only thundercats sub contain the entire core team

 

[vnguyen]

After 3 days of missing then preorder, I finally was able to get my order in. Shouldn't have been this hard.

 

[teemu]

Welp! Thundercats is done!

Bugger Anyone have any tips on getting a sub cancelled without having to cancel my credit card?

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Is Lion O still coming out this August?

 

[YoNoSe]

I can't do anything but laugh at myself. I subbed fully aware that I was dealing with *********s.

I am happy for the MOTU fans that stuck it out. I hope S7 treats the license and fans with more respect.

 

[karamazov80]

It's not dead yet...

Agreed. It's just stunned.

If you're being serious, you could call your credit card company and say your card was lost. That way, you wouldn't cancel your card outright, but your number would change. . .unless that's what you meant.

Call your company and tell them not to accept charges from Matty/Digital River. Or request a new card with a new number.

I believe everything in the original sub is still coming out.

I now regret buying a sub and the thunder kittens

How can you end the line when it hasn't even started? No Tigra, No Cheetara FAIL!

 

[Zodach]

That is really depressing. I love MOTUC, but with everything we already have I would gladly trade 2017 MOTU for 2017 Thundercats. This brand really does seem to be cursed. Just when we were finally going to get what we wanted in action figure form they pull the rug out from underneath of us. Ugh!

 

[YoNoSe]

Yes

How do you solicit subscriptions knowing that the end is nigh? There's no way they were unaware this was coming by the time subs went up. They were probably just too deep into development to drop the line.

 

[Eamon]

At this stage now I would suggest they forget about Jackle Man and Pummyra and just make a Tigra and Cheetara instead.

Probably already gone into production though.

 

[KingGrayskull]

Is the funeral already confirmed?
