Did anyone notice the similarities between the Thunder racer Lion-O and “The Return” Lion-O?

Yeah, I know. You can also just say that they are just both black suits with uncovered arms and Tygra has the same suit.

But still, this figure will be my Lion-O that is training in the book of Omens:D;)

I know there’s 0% chance of it happening, but I would love a Classics-line toy with Lion-O in that garb. I loved just about every aspect of it, including the on-the-should claw-shield and sword.

I knew that toy had something familiar. If Bandai got the idea for the clothes from the comic design, then kudos, they’ve surprised me.

I wish I had a pic of it, but have you seen young Claudis from the origins comic. Looks allot like our new Lion-O. I’ll have to take a pic of it with my phone.
