The 10th wave of ThunderCats Ultimates action figures has just been revealed by Super7, they look pretty damn cool (especially Mumm-ra), and they’re available to pre-order RIGHT NOW.
Weapon redesign – minimalist splatter style
This is a wonderful way to turn iconic weapons into art. The Etsy store Harshness sells these designs as prints. If they’re out then a backup retailer is the artist’s Society6 page. The two styles are almost a contradiction. The splatter effect suggests that the weapons could be messy and cluttered and yet that’s not […]
Thundercats – oh! these Samurai versions are fantastic!
I’m blown away. These Japanese Samurai versions of the Thundercats are fantastic. They are the work of Phil Postma a Canadian character designer with 20 years experience. His blog is going straight into my Feedly RSS reader. Postma has worked on Flash Gordon, The Mask, World of Quest, The Ripping Friends, Freaky Stories and many […]
Superhero Schuhs
British shoe retailer have taken stock of an interesting range of Converse. There’s a Thundercats trainer that features Lion-O, Panthro, Tygra and Cheetara. There’s a Batman Converse trainers pair, Superman Converse trainers pair and even a Joker Converse trainers pair. Imagine this blogger’s surprise to find a pair of superhero infographic-style messages in his inbox […]
Cats of Thunder… or Thundercats?
There’s a lot to be said for this designn by Chris Thornley. Thornley runs Raid71 and seems to have produced material for the likes of NME, Levi, Fortean Times and even Lego. I was impressed with Fortean Times as a client – even more geek impressed to see that he’s worked with Lego. His four […]
Thundercats trailer from Wondercon
The good thing about conventions you miss is that there may still be YouTube videos from them that are worth watching. Case in point – this Thundercats trailer. At 2 minutes long this is a hefty trailer that shows you the illustration quality and likely plot quality. Just a concern though. There’s still no sign […]
Lion-o plushie is king of cute
Chelsea Bloxson needs to be recognised as the creative talent she is. Not only is this plushie Lion-o incredibly cute it’s very detailed too. The arms are jointed and the Sword of Omen is attached via velcro. Thundercats, hooooaaah!
New Thundercats trailer
Last night over in the States and on Cartoon Network the first trailer for the new Thunderscats ran. As we’ve come to expect someone has managed to get a fairy good copy of this onto YouTube. There’s a risk it’ll be yaned but I suspect Cartoon Network will enjoy the publicity. I think it’s happily […]
Check out the new Thundercats
We have an official image of the new Thundercats. It follows on the heels of a leaked image. The anime version (so suggests some official PR) will be coming to cartoon Network in the States. The rest of the world, hopefully, won’t be left out. Sam Register is the exec producer. He did Teen Titans, […]
There will be a new series of ThunderCats
Thank you Cartoon Network. They’ve commissioned a whole new series of ThunderCats. The new series mixes swords with science as good and evil battle for the Stones of Power. I suspect the new ThunderCats may have a slight anime feel as Warner Bros Animation are partnered with Studio 4C (The Animatrix) for the project. Executive […]
