Maybe Lion-O will carry him around in a Pokeball.

I quite like that Snarf design, it has a Moomin-esque element to it

Snarf looks stupid. As in "Their is nothing going on behind those eyes." He's just an animal, wheras all the other look like there's some intelligent thought happening in there.

I hope Third Earth is still the setting of the new show. One of the fun things about Thundercats was collecting the maps of Third Earth from the old Marvel UK comic and peicing them together. It was a good way to get to know the location. Taken from Lord of the Rings if I recall.
The Third Earth map also appeared on the toy leaflets and in the annual too I beleive. Plus the locations montaged through the credits of the old toon.
I get the impression with the first wave of toys Thundercats will be set on Thundera to begin with. The Superman narrative could be put off for a while before establishing Plundarians first and then Third Earth folk.

I've pretty much lost interest after that trailer! The visual style is not my cup of tea. Looks like generic anime.

So Ron Stoppable as Lion-O and Cleveland Jr as Panthro. It could be interesting,

Emmanuelle Chriqui has been cast as the voice of Cheetara. She has previously acted in Don't Mess With the Zohan (2008).

I could get used to that idea... CARTOON NETWORK Press Release ThunderCats: The re-imagined animated series based on the beloved 80s classic tells the tale of a hero’s epic journey to fulfill his ultimate destiny. On Third Earth, the kingdom of Thundera is being threatened by the evil sorcerer Mumm-Ra and young heir to the throne Lion-O embarks on a great quest to take his rightful place as king. The unlikely champion, joined by his faithful comrades Tygra, Cheetara, Panthro, WilyKit, WilyKat and his loyal pet Snarf, must work together to save their world from darkness.

They've given Snarf the 2002 Cringer treatment.

The original series has been on my "DVDs to buy" list for ages, so I've just ordered. The price is bound to go up if I leave it any longer. The complete series boxed set is currently only £24.20 on Amazon. 24 discs - should keep me going for a while.

The complete series boxed set is currently only £24.20 on Amazon. 24 discs - should keep me going for a while. Same on Play. I have been debating whether to pick it up. Last time I tried watching it the opening episodes were ok but the rest did not hold up but I've never seen season 2. Hmmm. Tempted. It will only be more expensive later. -Ralph

Cannot wait for this stuff to come out. Hope the toon is on the kids channels on Sky....I like the new version of Snarf, he looks nicer than the original did. Will be buying the toys as well.
I'm actually more eager to buy this stuff than I am the latest slew of G.I.JOE figures shown at the recent Con...even though I'll be ordering them by the wave from bbts.com

One thing that I am looking forward to clearing up is what Thundera's relatonship to the other kingdoms are. In both Trailers we see the reptilians being used as slave labour and in one shot from the wondercon footage there is a bloodied reptilian in the stocks. Perhaps Thundera isn't all its cracked up to be?

Hope there's a Snarf plushie like before. My sister still has hers somewhere. I only need Season 2 volume 2 of the current disc sets. Just hoping for the price to go down. Season 2 is sadly weaker than the earlier stuff. The Lunatacs seem very out of place with the show. I hope they stay out of the new show. Here's an account of the Wondercon QandA from Technodrome poster GK. Some interesting tidbits about Mandora and the Silverhawks. It's also cross-posted on thundercats.ws as well somewhere.
