Thunderkittens Arrival Thread

I completely agree! Only gripe I have is with the face paint on a majority of the Tygra figures; they are painted using the masking/stamping process and a lot of them arent aligned with the sculpt.

I count myself lucky then - both mine (the one I sold and the new one I got to replace him) had perfect paint work. I agree that a skew face would make him look odd.

Quite frankly it shows how much faith Bandai had in the toy line. They really invested a lot in the line with unique sculpts and lots of articulation and launched a Classics line at retail to coincide with the 2011 toy line. They didn’t confine them to a small fan base only available online.

True! Just wish they had released wave 3! it was going to be awesome and perhaps the best wave of the lot with the most interesting figures.

Yes. If some of these had been available at the start I imagine the toys would have had a far more dominating presence on store shelves.
But unfortunately much like the TV show it was too little too late. The TV suffered from not introducing the better characters and not having the best episodes until the second half. If only the writing of the TV show had been better and a lot of the pointless first half episodes not been included the show would have done much better.

It seems that one of my set of Kittens have gone missing. The first set I ordered was on Monday July 18th. It was shipped on 29 July. I ordered another set on July 24th. The set was shipped on Aug 18. I received that set today. The first set hasn’t arrived yet and was posted way before the second set. It is now almost 7 weeks. I blame customs if it has gone missing. Don’t know what to do. I sent an e-mail to matty. Maybe they can sort something out because our post office is useless.

On the positive note. I love the kittens. I so badly want to open them but if my other set is missing I want to keep them in the box. I was planning on opening one and keep one in the box.

I actually got a phonecall from the postoffice a little bit more than an hour ago. Another package arrived this morning. Hopefully it is that set.

Hoping that it is there now. We’re all holding our breaths. Keep us posted TCatsfan. It will be a shame if your first order was stolen by some TC hungry fan that works at the Post Office customs centre…:mummra

[luketommo2]

What a bargain!
People will be buying these now to resell but I’m so glad I’ve picked one up for a bargain!
God knows why they didn’t sell them at the full price…IDIOTS

[mr_freeze]

[Aluro]

[Booshman]

Bollox, now I wish I woulda waited. could have had four sets for what it cost me to get two. Shame they don’t have the filmation He-Man and Skeletor, I’d have bought those.
