I think that it’s great that they are restarting the line fresh. 
The glowing eyes are photoshopped on as well as the Eye of Thundera.
In case anyone missed it on Thundercats Classics Facebook—
6 on the first wave
Including tygra, slythe, jaga and grune
Will be classics and reactions available
They will be starting the line fresh-sorry people who kept there matty collector classics!
This is all speculation. nothing is known.

It is fact that they are restarting. Pixel Dan confirmed it.
Yes the glowing eyes are obviously photoshopped. The rest, I highly doubt it.
Please show me where its confirmed they are restarting. I’ve watched his interview several times and looked over Pixel Dans twitter. no where does is state that its “restarting”. and yes, the eye of thundera is photoshopped.
Go to his Facebook page and under the Thundercats post. He says it in the comments.

Nothing to be sorry about to those people who kept their Matty Thundercats. In fact I personally envy them especially those who have complete set.Regardless if Super7 start fresh/restart/continue whatsoever, those Matty Thundercats will be a part of the collection unless you are into it lightly.
Same thing happened with Club Grayskull Filmation when Super7 took over… Matty He-Man version had enough difference to Super7 version to warrant Matty He-Man relevance and staying presence to the collection. I doubt things will be different with this Thundercats line.

I suppose they will probably mix OK, it wasn’t like the Mattel figures were drastically off-model or something. in fact some of them I’m not really sure (like Jackalman) how they will really improve it much. And they can’t redo everyone in the first year, so for awhile they stand in.
But I still think they have to be careful here. I’m not interested in buying a new Panthro that is essentially the same as the one I already own. And it means it takes longer to complete a set, and we all have to be wary about this line being able to finish after Mattel and BanDai both cut and ran. They better have a very solid plan. If I don’t get a Cheetara again…

I hear you, but not to worry, I have it on VERY GOOD authority that we will not be disappointed. There is LOTS of ThunderCats goodness on the horizon.

It’s probably good that they’re starting over to help bring in the new collectors. I just really hope the level of detail on the figures is more Collector’s Choice and less Club Grayskull.

Aren’t Jackalman’s legs assembled wrong?
I definitely feel this way.
They are. The knees are reversed.
I definitely agree. I hate the Club Greyskull aesthetic, it really doesn’t blend that well with the original Classics.
I agree. I have said since the announcement of the Mattel figures that the Thundercats figures couldn’t rely on the MOTUC buck.
I think it’s a great more for Super 7 to start over with new individual bucks that better suit the characters.
I agree with those that have already purchased the Mattel Classics (i did) but i also understand that business must move forwards.
I will only pick up the core characters and nothing else and sell off the old ones (if i can) and those i don’t want.
I never opened pumyra or lion-o and we ‘know’ that that they will/should re-release Lion-O and i can imagine pumyra will be adjusted to better fit.
Tbh i’ll try and avoid those characters i don’t want to re-buy but with the subscription style purchasing it’ll be hard.

If they listen to the fans and give us unreleased ones expect Mad-Bubbler and the lunatiks.
Anyone guess what time they will release the information today???
They usually start at 9am or 12pm PST. So who knows if we’ll know in one hour or more?
So ThunderCats Ultimates are live on the Super7 site for preorder. 4 redone figures that despite having some extra perks look exceptionally similar to the Mattel figures. You can order individually and they are $45.
I have to say that unless this is accompanied by a reveal of some new figures, this has failure written all over it. I like some of the changes, but that’s some serious coin. I don’t see anyone but the most hardcore going for these Ultimates at these prices. Are we supposed to bankrupt ourselves rebuying the same things over and over again to get this to be successful?
Aslo, while I think it’s nice for Mumm-Ra to be available to everyone now, it makes the whole Mattel subscription feel incredibly pointless in the end.
Please show us more.
