Exactly. Let’s not forget the MOTU200X line was not very successful either. People blame all the variants and the distribution problems but the fact is a lot of them were very under articulated and no fun to pose or play with. Even the Stactions didn’t sell well. Mattel are far from perfect but they did listen to the fans and made a product all the MOTU fans wanted with MOTUC.
If Mezco can do some Thundercats figures like their Mortal Kombat stuff I am sure it will sell very well.
I got both of the Mumm-Ra stactions, but passed on the Lion-O as I don’t really care for the sculpt (seriously how hard is he to get right?). I’m not a stickler for articulation, but I know it’s a high priority for a lot of collectors. I can’t see articulated figures with the sculpt quality of the stactions not selling.
I’m not excited for this whatsoever, Mezco has not done TCats any justice either. We need simple, bold articulated figures with accurate sculpting. Period. Is it that hard to get the likeness of a classic thundercat? I swear I’ve never seen a really good likeness-accurate TCats figure, not even customs.
Is it toy fair yet? 
Crazy talk. Mezco mega scale figures are perfect.
:rolleyes: Really?
I think prerfect is bit of an exaggeration. I think they vary from good to meh.
Well, I posted a comparison pic. They all look great. I didn’t bother posting one of Mumm-ra since that one is just perfect. But please, do tell. What are the flaws? About the only difference is the claw shield not being shiny, which is modeled after the comic book look instead of the show.
I think the main offender is Lion-O, which being the first one out the gate is understandable. The face, hair, body proportions, outfit and colouring all look off to me. He looks too long and scrawny. This figure just doean’t really feel like Lion-O from the show to me at all, more like one artists reinterpretation of him, much like the small staction version of Lion-O.

Cheetara is very good. How much I like her depends on the picture, but she looks good in this one:

Mumm-Ra is fantastic. If I was going to get all of them I would want him to be bigger, of for the others to be smaller, but since he’s the only one I want it’s not an issue.
I will admit they look pretty sweet all lined up together, but I think Lion-O sticks out like a sore thumb as much weaker in this shot.

The Mezco prototype seemed to look better than the final version of Lion-O. The head and face are very off and do not look like the cartoon. As Boosham has said his body looks too scrawny.
In comparison to the other figures Lion-O is definitely the weakest.
So far I would say the 8" Bandai figure is the best cartoon accurate version of Lion-O made to date compared to all the various statues.
Agreed 
I just don’t see it. Lion-O looks just fine. Photos are one thing, having them in front of you is another. They all look great in person.
Pics of my figures.
Lion-O closeup.
Great shots of your collection, LeoTigris, especially the Lion-O close-up.
Well as long as you are happy with them, I’m not trying to change your opinion of them, just letting you know my take on them since you asked for specifics. I have seen all of them in person, but individually and still boxed. I’ve not been to a vendor that had more than one of them at any given time, or had one out for display.
By the sound of it you’re gonna be able to add more to your collection, hopefully they finish the line-up. I just hope they release some in a smaller scale too.
Nice pictures. They look really nice together but I still don’t like the Lion-O head sculpt.
The paint on your Lion-O looks better than the one I owned. The left arm on mine was a different shade than the rest of the figure.
Exactly. Horrible sculpts as always.

Your post was interesting…do you believe the 8" Lion-O Classic is the best Lion-O version ever made ?
Bandai
I think BANDAI classic lion-o is the best so far, simply cause its the only one out there…i thought both the 8 inch and 6 inch were pretty cool…lots of articulation…yeah there were some issues, weird screaming head on the 6 inch, uncolored pegs,but over all it was pretty good…and really the only other one to compare it to is the original 80s line…so yeah BANDAI classic are the best in my opinion…i wold have absolutely LOVED for Bandai to have finished either scale at least the main cast of characters…it would have been amazing!!
I agree. They had their issues but I really really like them. My biggest complaint is that they never finished the core characters.
