I cant think of a worse company to make the highly anticipated relaunch of the Thundercats figures.Do collectors want Thundercats that are made like the power rangers or have the horrid scale issues that plague the Ben 10 figures? I dont..
Yeah, I hate to say it, but I’m a little worried, too. I was hoping that Mattel (despite their MOTUC issues) got the license, to see what the Four Horsemen could do with the Thundercats. Oh well.
