Lovely figures if you ask me…
Also the brand that made the Sharticons really did a great job on them.

It looks great but the $130 price point is a bit high.
There is a seller from China on ebay that is selling them each for $25.
That’s a good price if you compare it with the other one.
I meant the Shredder. That’s a good price for the Sharkticons.

Yep, too much for one figure… Hopefully by the popularity TMNT is having Playmates decide to make a Classic version of the Shredder…

Pretty sure Playmates is done with Classics TMNT. $120 or whatever the Shredder may seem like a lot, but it is extremely high quality, comes with an extremely large assortment of accessories, and is partly made of die-cast. ThKrang was amazing and I’m sure the Shredder will be equally as awesome. Worth every penny.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Season 5 is going to bring back the old villains and old turtles so I see in the future some action figures from it.
Episode 3 from Season 5: The Shredder from the 1980s series invades the 2012 show, so the 2012 Turtles must team up again with their 1987 counterparts to stop him.

Any truth to this? Very strange move, especially since He-man Classics and Thundercats have the potential to rejuvenate Matty. Also, the timing doesn’t make any logical sense. DC just announced a He-man x Thundercats comic books series:
The coffin in Mattel’s Masters of the Universe Classics line and possibly ThunderCats as well seems one step closer, as neither brand appears to have a significant presence at this year’s San Diego Comic Con. Mattel has released their panel schedule for the event and both the traditional Masters of the Universe Classics and Mattypalooza panels are missing from the line-up. These panels in the past traditionally showed off the upcoming product for the MattyCollector.com lines for the coming year. Rumors in recent months have been swirling that Mattel plans to cancel both ThunderCats, which only just got started and Masters of the Universe Classics. In fact the entire MattyCollector.com project has been rumored to be shutting down soon. Here is a list of panels Mattel has planned for San Diego.
It’s definitely odd timing.
They’re only speculating on the current state of affairs. No word from Mattel, no panels, etc. Toynewsi doesn’t know anything different than anyone else. At this point I’m not believing anything that doesn’t come from Mattel, it just doesn’t make sense for it to end right now. Val over at He-Man.org has insider info at times and has posted that we probably shouldn’t throw in the towel just yet, and that has me somewhat optimistic.

With Mattel being involved in one way or the other on that crossover comic, it may be a good sign that they’re not giving up on either lines.
If you’re going to call people out, I suggest you call out everyone who got sidetracked…
I would like to know who came up with this cross over.
Freddie Williams, the artist involved, commented on Facebook that he was inspired to “ask around at DC Comics, setting off a series of dominos, eventually putting me on the radar of the decision makers for this crossover, who then agreed to let me draw this crossover.”
Here’s a public post of his that links to an interview with him and the writers:

Cool piece. So this seems to be a basic marketing ploy by Mattel to help promote the Thundercats line.

I’ve been looking at Thundercats thread on the Matty forum…and there doesn’t seem to ever be any response from Matty…first time I stop by there…is there anyone that is more familiar with those forums?..do they ever respond?
Not much. So far there hasn’t been anything said by Matty about Cats in quite some time. We have zero info on what is going on with this line at present.
