The original should def take priority. I would want at least 3 years of figures from the Classic line before I would even contemplate purchasing the reboot remakes.
However, having said this, the 2011 TC would certainly make for some attractive figures. Bandai’s efforts were subpar as most of their TC figures looked like they came from Happy Meals or those cereal inserts. Bandai did make an excellent Lion-O for their Classic line, sans skin-colored ankle pegs and non-matte finish.
And a really soft sword.
Bandai’s 6" 2011 figures were pretty good and quite good value considering the amount of articulation and accessories they had.
The way things are going it will probably be another 1-3 years before a Classics line gets done again.
Matty stated day of sale ThunderCats figures would be $30, so that plus shipping and tax (if applicable). She should go on sale around 15th-16th November on Mattycollector.com
