Since I had the subscription, I didn’t bother to check the BBTS prices. So they are nearly double the price. I am dreading their ThunderKittens prices now.
But unlike the BTTF products which didn’t get re-released (despite the small second run of Pepsi Perfect) these figures are bound to offered again at some point in different packaging.
Yep, I am counting on Third Earth Subscribers being given the early access, but I am preparing for the worst.
Thanks for the info.
I agree Mattel would probably do something about it for their current clients (Subscribers).

I agree - they must realize that not allowing subscribers to obtain this exclusive could very well hurt the line more than help it! Maybe they will give all of us subscribers early access. That is my hope anyways! I do recall an interview with the 4H where they mentioned possible other versions of the sub exclusive being available later in the line.
Traditionally Matty offers their SDCC exclusives on their website a few weeks after the con. I believe subscribers will have early access as well.
And no way there will be a Rotar & Twistoid situation this early in the line and with these popular TC characters.
I am as pessimist as they come but in this instance I think this is a non issue.

What’s with that big blob of black on the tip of Kit’s hair tho? It’s supposed to be a stripe.
Also here’s a blurb description I found on another site for them.
“THUNDERCATS™ WILY KIT & WILY KAT™
SRP: $60 Available: Super 7
Recreate the exciting adventures of the twin ThunderCats™ on Third Earth! This authentic two-pack includes richly detailed 4” inch figures of Wilykit and Wilykat, their Space Boards and key weapon accessories. Each figure features 30+ points of articulation, deluxe sculpting, removable claws, lariats and one thunder attachment to battle mutants! Stand them on their articulating hover boards and put them on display! The ThunderKittens also come in dynamic keepsake packaging that depicts a colorful setting from the series. These mischievous, powerful Wilykit and Wilykat exclusive figures are must-have additions for adult collectors.”
WTF does Super7 have to do with any of this…???
Thunder kittens look great, I can’t wait to get them. With that being said, I have never been a fan personally of those characters. So the fact that the kittens will be the first in this collection as the SDCC exclusive is a low blow for me. It dose however make sense matty needs to cover their tooling cost and SDCC is the perfect spot. I really hope Matty is smart enough to spread out the core characters so the interest in this line lasts for many years.
:tygra:
Wow this makes it sound like they come with even more accessories than what’s pictured! Can’t wait to see some more photos!
Well the only question that now remains is how they will package them and if they have changed it from the last earlier designs…
Great to finally have the SDCC exclusive announced. They look great, probably my least wanted out the main cast but I’m just glad they are unique characters and not a lame variant (Jaga, normal and ghost probably being the only variant I want in Thundercats Classics).
No idea. I just copy pasted.
I think its just an editorial error. Also, mule?
Super 7 is going to be selling this at their booth/outside store like the She-Ra exclusive, instead of at the Mattel booth.
I saw the mumm-ra figure.
WHAT IS WITH THE STAFF THING?! And you can’t even pose him. 
You’re talking about the Mattel one, correct? The staff is a throwback to the staff that came with Mumm-ra in the ljn line. And Mumm-ra is a fully articulated figure.
well i’m talking about the one I saw on their site when I looked just now. The way he looked in the picture reminded me of how my 1 figure from the 9 movie was made.

I really hope they release the core characters, then at least we know we’ll have a complete set. Don’t mind that the kittens are the exclusive. Just hope I can get my hands on them!!! (I would also like a ghost Jaga, but he must be painted blue and not clear blue plastic! That will look odd)
I need to change the credit card info for my TC subscription. Anyone else done this recently and knows the correct way? Will updating the info on the website be enough? 
From what I have heard from MOTUC collectors that have had to change their card you might be in for a hard time. I know of some people who ended up getting their subscriptions cancelled.
