PCS Tygra

[cgdc]

Jerry said that he will possibly be revealed at SDCC!

What do you guys think so far?

[EnShinNoi]

The paint app on this will be tricky. All those stripes are mistakes waiting to happen :p

[High Lord Apocalypse]

Face is perfect on this!

[ReplicantSavior]

Priority is Cheetara but I'm curious about the others.

[JetFire76]

Whoa!! That Tygra is spot on!! Due to my limited financial situation... this is going to be a tough choice between Tygra and Panthro! Can't wait to see Panthro!!

[MrYac]

i wonder if his whip will be poseable, i'd imagine it needs to be at least a little bendable or breakagses will be insane

[Krueger187]

Damn can't wait to see this & all the goodies
At SDCC wounder what's going to be mix media on
This piece

[Krueger187]

Damn can't wait to see this & all the goodies
At SDCC

[Angie]

I was on the fence about Tygra. I'm not anymore. I'm going to buy him.

[Freon]

Looks awesome so far.

[firefly76]

Best looking one so far........Spot on +1

[Lionore]

The pose though reminds me a lot of HH's Tygra. Still it's very early and we need to see more.

[wolvie82]

im thinking the whip will be the mix media aspect

[derekrodneysim]

Looks pretty darn good!

[Comicbookguy]

Are they making lion o and mumm ra? I hope they do because I was not a fan of tne last lion o art style.

[Madame_Siryn]

Are they making lion o and mumm ra? I hope they do because I was not a fan of tne last lion o art style.

PCS has already done both:

Lol you are all too funny. Wow that pic is so wierd looking, that its scary. But the current lion o statue just looks weird to me. Maybe it's the mouth on him? I just don't like itMum ram ra is really ok.

[Madame_Siryn]

Lol you are all too funny. That lion o statue just looks weird to me. Maybe it's the mouth on him? I just don't like it. Mum ra is really ok.

Wow! Mumm-Ra is really ok? Have you found another Mumm-Ra statue that is better? If so, please post.

Then again, I do recall that you stated that the Gambit PF was ok as well.:battherapy:

[Comicbookguy]

Wow! Mumm-Ra is really ok? Have you found another Mumm-Ra statue that is better? If so, please post.

Then again, I do recall that you stated that the Gambit PF was ok as well.:battherapy:

True nothing better yet, so what's out now these are the best except for lion o. I like that big plastic lion o better. I believe it's the mezco or something like that who makes it. I have that one and I love it. Gambit I never seen in person. But I think I will like that one more in person. The mumm ra is growing on me a bit now that I've seen him more. Since they are making the rest of the cats I might look for a mumm ra. Lion o I must think hard first.

[Freon]

The mouth... :doh!:

Okay, what's wrong with the mouth?

[k-9]

not shore about tygra's face but he looks as if his eyes will light up like lion-o.

[loricstone]

I just picked up a Lion O from AlterEgo. It was a really big sale and I was able to get it for $230. I was always interested, but it had a pretty hefty price tag.

I do want to get the Mumm Ra now that I have a Lion O but with Galactus and Batman PF on the radar in the next couple of days, its gonna be awhile. I really can't wait to see how tall this statue is next to my Thor PF.

I always thought Lion O was a very good statue, but Mumm Ra is better overall to me. The Tygra looks good so far and the Cheetara I have to wait and see the full reveal before I say how good it is. I hope that Lion O comes in the good quality styrofoam.

[Lionore]

So may we presume that the next statue is going to be Tygra????

[cgdc]

Is that cloth on him or is he going to be fully sculpted?

Wow 230 for lion o is a bargain! I paid 400.00 for mine.

Congrats on the Lion-O purchase, loric. That's an excellent price. And he does indeed come in the good styrofoam (Mumm-Ra, too).

Thanks for the info Sky....music to my ears.

[bebohawk]

i found this picture and i have to say Tygra looks perfect

[EnShinNoi]

He's easily my favourite of the 3. The sculptor has captured an amazing moment in action. That pose reminds me of the Wolf Predator LSF.

[SkyPirate82]

Looks like Cheetara's going to be a little while longer but I can't complain about Tygra. Looks really good to me and I'm liking the switch-out head. :)

[bebohawk]

i promise myself i will only get Lion-O from this line but Tygra really look tempting

[Krueger187]

tygra looks cool well done cant wait to have him, i hope ex lights up just like lion o
well they all should light up better yet would make sense

[Krueger187]

thundercat thundercats hooooooooooooooooooooo

[k-9]

I thought i was going to stick with just lion-o but jerry has pulled back in...this is really good and is perfect to go next to lion-o:itsb:

[cgdc]

:jawd::jawd::jawd:
Thank you GOD! He looks absolutely amazing! Awesome sculpt and pose. This was the only statue I cared about this comic con.

You guys did a kick ass job!

What is the exclusive?

[Gruson]

Very nice!

[NWO SCUM]

Very impressed.

[loricstone]

He really is quite phenomenal! Easily one of the top statues from all companies at the show IMHO.:)

[cgdc]

Is he all sculpted or does he have cloth on his upper torso?

[k-9]

Hoooooooooooooo!!!

Looks like his lower torso is cloth from the above pic. (Thanks, k-9. :thumbs2: )

I absolutely enjoy dynamic statues like this. Awesome in every way!

[francois_nor]

I love Tygra!!!!! Who sculpted this?

[modus]

Pop Culture Shock Tygra and Sagat SDCC 2012

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6JWcd7Tnzs

[EnShinNoi]

I love Tygra!!!!! Who sculpted this?
I'm going to guess Khurram Alavi.

[CustomPaintWork]

WTF is wrong with his shoulder?

[CustomPaintWork]

looks hollow.

[EnShinNoi]

WTF is wrong with his shoulder?
He's wearing a shoulder guard.

[Podolski06]

shoulder looks terrible, as if its been stuck on separate! :doh!:

by the way, where the hell has cheetara gone? I thought she would be the first reveal?!

[Comicbookguy]

Ex will be 2 heads? Or both?

[cgdc]

Can anyone post more pics?

[Angie]

More pics, please. I want to take a good look of his face.

[Lionore]

I am not sure but i think there is no clothe in this statue????

Also, may i presume that the exclusive will be the extra head instead of the light up feature??

[EnShinNoi]

The leotard (light blue) is fabric.

[Angie]

The torso is fabric and I believe you are right about the exclusive.

[BornFreeSF]

Tygra is in my video. Jerry talks about him and you can see the second head.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gpF3LmS10Mc

[Lionore]

The base is substantially smaller compared to Lion-O and Mamm-ra and if the only extra is the head then i expect to be cheaper than the previous pieces

[loricstone]

This was easily one of my favorites at the show this year. It goes in my honorable mention list...almost made #7.

[nemesisenforcer]

Hoooooooooooooo!!!

https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/314826_479089822119527_1153483230_n.jpg

Thanks for the vid BoneFree! It was cool for Jerry to stand out there and talk to fans and let in on what is going with his work.

No worries. I enjoyed it.

I'm not a Thundercats fan but this piece was a real surprise to me. Really amazing.

Excellent work Khurram

Great work indeed. Khurram's work is incredible. Jerry sure knows talent when he sees it :-)

[Lionore]

Judging from the pic i think Tygra will much shorter(including base of course) and less bulkier than Lion-O and Mumm-ra

[Comicbookguy]

I just hope they are all in scale. Btw which head looked better in your opinion?

[Krueger187]

I hope he lights up as well like lion o
All the thundercats should come with light up

[DRAGONTHEBOMB]

I am loving the Pose! Great Stuff

[Lionore]

I just hope they are all in scale. Btw which head looked better in your opinion?

Definitely the one he is posed with,it's more cartoon accurate and close to the familiar Tygra expressions.
The other one is a Wolverinish, growling look, that doesn't match to the character.
If the only extra is the second head,i'll easily pass on that even though i was planning on getting them all in Ex.
.

His body is much thinner to the previous two. I am not sure about the light up feature.

Overall though the statue is great and the dynamic pose gives a momentum

[Ryu]

Great work indeed. Khurram's work is incredible. Jerry sure knows talent when he sees it :-)

You'd have to be blind not to see his talent.

[bernhawk]

when is it gonna be up for PO????????? anyone?

[marvelboi77]

This was super impressive and huge. I can see why it's released before Cheetara this will get the hype up again.

[Angie]

It's going to be available for pre-order in August.

[Lionore]

Now that SDCC has ended and we have seen your marvelous pieces displayed there, here are a few questions to address whenever you have some free time Jerry:

1)So is Tygra your next Statue to be released???? Initially we expected Cheetara. If so, when is he going to be up for pre-order??

2)Tygra looks great and the sculpting does credit to Khurram's skills. Personally i am fond of his dynamic pose.
However, the pics make him look a bit smaller in size and less bulkier.The Rock base for instance is certainly smaller. The question is whether he is going to be in proportion to Lion-O&Mamm-ra or not?????

3)The Exclusive is only the extra head??? and what about the light up feature??? like the two previous Tcats had????

4)Any thoughts about dropping the price on Tygra???

Thank you Jerry and congrats once again for your works.

You know, there is an ask pop culture shock thread... :)

[Lionore]

You know, there is an ask pop culture shock thread... :)

Yeah i am aware of that, but i thought maybe to post them up in Tygra's thread...

[SARFARAZ]

I understand my friend, but you should keep all questions in that thread because it becomes difficult for Jerry to answer all questions as he wont find them in other threads sometimes...

[Lionore]

Ok thank you for the information,I appreciate it. i will copy paste them!!


Take care

[SARFARAZ]

No worries, amigo. :)

[cgdc]

I wonder if we'll see Tygra go up for pre-order soon? Jerry had said early August pending final approvals.

[BornFreeSF]

Tomorrow according to the FB page!

[cgdc]

Thanks for the heads up! I assume the exclusive is the change out head?

[BornFreeSF]

Thanks for the heads up! I assume the exclusive is the change out head?

Dunno but I am going to guess the ES will be really low so will sell like Dredd maybe...???

Sadly I don't think the pictures do it justice. It really blew me away at SDCC. The pose is so dynamic.

I'd love to know if any changes were made - Jerry?

[Emperor]

Exclusive is indeed a classic change o head. Price is also $370 for EX and 360 for regular. Here is the a link to the pics.

WB asked us to change the color of the elbow armor which we will do in production.

Thats it

Great news. I wish the pics were able to capture the magnificence of this piece. I just can't explain how good it is in person.

[hulksmash]

Tygra is up for order, woohoo!

[madmanny]

Whats the edition size going to be Jerry?

[GenoToys]

32" Height!!!!!!! That's so Awesome!!!!!!! Tygra looks so Beast!!!

[Comicbookguy]

Whats the edition size going to be Jerry?

Yeah? This is going to be my deciding factor. If it's a lot I will wait to buy him off the secondary market for less.

[Krueger187]

I'm confuse is he 23" like it saids on jerry FB
Oh 32" like it saids on SS ?

[BornFreeSF]

Yeah? This is going to be my deciding factor. If it's a lot I will wait to buy him off the secondary market for less.

In the link posted earlier it said 200 ES.

http://toynewsi.com/news.php?catid=291&itemid=19041

[jye318]

eBay will sell for less Then $300 , just need to wait.

[cgdc]

Ex ordered!

[Do or do not]

32" = HUGE. Tygra was my least favourite of the main 4. Not sure.

I definitely look for Cheetara & Panthro and then decide after that.

[marcos619]

Hey Jerry is the whip going to be wire. It looks like its going to be fragile

[Emperor]

I'm confuse is he 23" like it saids on jerry FB
Oh 32" like it saids on SS ?

I'm going to go with Jerry on this one but it would be great if he could confirm. He looks like a half scale piece on the SS scale representation. I really hope he's not that big because he's out of scale compared to Mumm-Ra and Lion-O.

[OuttaSight]

He is 23" tall and perfectly in scale with Lion-O and Mumm-Ra

The 32" is a typo.

[Krueger187]

Oh ok make sense now he shouldn't be 32" thanks Jerry
Thundercats hoooooo lol

[labanog]

Hi Jerry,

Any chance we can see lion o beside tygra? :D

[SARFARAZ]

You know, you really should stop putting the ES as TBD on these pieces. Just don't put it up for pre order until you know the ES. When Sagat goes up next week, I want to know the ES when I'm ordering....

[Comicbookguy]

eBay will sell for less Then $300 , just need to wait.

I bet I can get this on eBay after it's flooded for around 275.00 shipped. Must be patient. Even lion o ex was 300.00 on eBay shipped.

[cgdc]

For me Tygra has always been my favorite. I don't want to risk not getting him and waiting for ebay. I believe his ES will be much lower than Lion-O and Mumm-Ra.

Also, I had to request a replacement twice for my Lion-O due to breaks/flaws and Sideshow took care of it. I need the peace of mind that I will get be able to do that again if need be.

I am surprised there hasn't been as much talk about this statue. I remember all the compliments it got during comic con.

[Comicbookguy]

I really hope they do make more after panthros. I really want some of the thundercats allies like mandora the space police!

[jye318]

Doesnt metter order from ss now, my Lino o and mamm ru came damage and they dont give me any replacement. I had to return all of them and buy again. Stupid right ?
Lino o should be the most want from everyone, even this one sold less then $300 now.

[Lionore]

I was expeting him to come out much earlier that March 2013, i remember Jerry mentionting a close time schedule concerning the release of Tygra, Cheetara and Panthro, but from the looks of it, the gap it's gonna be like Lion-O and Mamm-ra. It's ok, because i'll have time to save up the money.

I am on the fence about Ex. or Reg. the extra head isn't so iconic and fitting to the cartoon Tygra and i could pass it.

The ES is quite low, i am not bringing in negative spirit but maybe the fans responce to the Thundercats merchandise is waning. The bad handling of the 2012 Tcats cartoon is a lot to blame.

Well that's why I'm waiting for eBay to get a ex for 300.00 shipped. The ex lion was 300.00 shipped a week ago. Crazy huh? The ex mumm ra was 350.00 shipped or best offer. I'm going to risk tygra since he's less popular than those other two.

I don't think so. I think its due to lots of other statues people have on their plate. I bought Lion O cause I got a great deal on him. Hes awesome! But I have not had opportunity to nab Mumm-Ra because quite honestly, there is too much other more wanted statues for me, most coming from SS. Colossus PF, Skaar PF, Arthas, Joker PF, etc. etc. etc. Also, MK is more important license to me than Thundercats.

Also, economic situation of others hurts T-cats merchandise sales.

Same here, I should learn my leason from bison guile lion o and mumm ra, or I should say all statue after guile.

[EnShinNoi]

SSC still has this listed as 32". They certainly take their sweet time correcting mistakes.

[High Lord Apocalypse]

if they listed the damn edition size, i bet it'd sell a lot faster.

[OuttaSight]

I dont control what Sideshow posts on their website. I also dont have complete say over what the ES of the EX is.

Oh I know it's not you dude. I meant sideshow. Sorry.

[CustomPaintWork]

because Jerry fixed those 75 chun li faces from the atrocious mess up [per Capcom's request..] I ordered the Tygra Exclusive and will continue the Thundercats line so long as quality is first prerogative.

[CustomPaintWork]

kinda reminds me of this

http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m114k83SoY1qi264no3_500.jpg

[CustomPaintWork]

give or take a few centimeters but i think this is what LionO and Tygra will look like standing next to each other.

I dig the sculptor uniformity so far with this line.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v496/pakman21/SSThundercats.jpg

[cgdc]

Thanks for the comparison shot!

I can't wait to have the rest of the line.

When taking your comparison chart into consideration i think that Lion-o looks way to muscular when compared to Tygra. Was this the case in the animation series as i dont recall these 2 brothers being that dis-similar in size?

[manboy]

When taking your comparison chart into consideration i think that Lion-o looks way to muscular when compared to Tygra. Was this the case in the animation series as i dont recall these 2 brothers being that dis-similar in size?

Lion-O was always more muscular than Tygra but less than Panthro. And theyre not brothers in the original series

[Podolski06]

Lion-O was always more muscular than Tygra but less than Panthro. And theyre not brothers in the original series

If thats the case Panthro is going to have to be built like a brick sh*t house!!:muahaha:

[jye318]

It does looks weird with that chart, Lino o looks short.

[Podolski06]

It does looks weird with that chart, Lino o looks short.

That's what i thought, Lion-o looks way too muscular compared to tygra....

[Comicbookguy]

That's what i thought, Lion-o looks way too muscular compared to tygra....

Yeah. Then mumm ra looks too small compare to lion o and tygra. In the show he was much bigger then all of them. So scales are off for all of them. Oh well what can we do?

[Podolski06]

Yeah. Then mumm ra looks too small compare to lion o and tygra. In the show he was much bigger then all of them. So scales are off for all of them. Oh well what can we do?

Personally, i dont think we can take that chart as being accurate...but i do worry about the size comparison between Lion-o and Tygra, Lion-o was slightly more muscular but not to the degree that we can see from the comparison above...I have the Hard Hero Thundercat collection statues and they are all prefectly in scale with each other. Hard Hero's Lion-o and Tygra are perfectly scaled. As much a i love Jerrys Lion-o, the musculature is way too over the top and it will become more noticable when you place Tygra next to him...

[EnShinNoi]

150 ES for the ex. Less than 90 remain.

If only 60 of these have been sold, it's not looking too good for Cheetara or Panthro :( And here I thought Tygra was the best looking one thus far :itsb: I guess there are a lot of collectors now content with having just the main goody/baddy.

No way! I'm looking to collect all the main Thundercats. Thats Lion-o, Tygra, Cheetara and Panthro. Those are all i want. Didnt like Mummra very much so decided to miss out on him. Desperate for 1/4 Panthro! :itsb:

[DRAGONTHEBOMB]

sweet! just pre ordered the ex :)

[GenoToys]

sweet! just pre ordered the ex :)

Nice! Congrats :buttrock: Tygra looks awesome!

[High Lord Apocalypse]

I hope pantro and cheetara get made. If not I'm selling off what I have and quitting this line.

[cgdc]

I hope pantro and cheetara get made. If not I'm selling off what I have and quitting this line.

I couldn't sell these two and Tygra has always been my favorite. I would be very disappointed if the other two weren't made. I imagine with Cheetara and Panthro being so popular they would sell great.

[Lionore]

Whether the rest of the line makes it or not, there is no way for me to ever sell these 2 gorgeous statues.

However, i have to admit this is a period of crisis for Thundercats. The NS didn't turn out as good as it was expected,No season 2, fans are generally disapointed in every level, i wouldn't be surprised if the current events take its toll on Jerry's Thundercats line

[Comicbookguy]

Wow so 150 ES for Tygra? Isn't that really low? Must decide to buy now or wait to buy at the secondary market later on. Do you think I can get this for less later? I mean I seen lion o. Ex for 350 shipped one week ago. But his ES is a bit more. Then lion o was more popular than Tyra. What do you think?

[dao2]

Just weight it out, is the extra you'll save be worth waiting/chance? If so then wait, if not buy :P

[Comicbookguy]

Good question? I will decide. It might not be worth the trouble or getting scam from a seller who is out to get people or just a seller who is not helpful with a claim to try to get one later.

[hordeall]

the only reason im not buying is because I didnt like how muscular lion-o is

I have ex mumm-ra and plan on keeping it

I don't know if you have seen Lion O in person or not, but I have him and love him. As with most statues, pics don't do him justice.

I had the toys as a kid and Lion O was definitely the biggest. I think all four characters if made will have completely different body types just like the original toys did.

WTF!!!! SS emailed me that PCS canceled Tygra...:soapb:

Just recieved the same message! Gutted! Yet another Thundercat line that doesn't get completed! Jerry what have you done! You promise so much then don't deliver!:rant:

[Pryde]

:rant: Why Jerry why did I get a notification saying that your company will not be producing this statue anymore?!?! :waa:

[testsubject25]

wooooooooooooah... end of the Thundercats line already?!?! CRAZY

[AllThatExist666]

Just received the same e -mail what a disappointed
To say the least having mummra & lion o
Looking forward to tygra panthro & chitara
I don't get it what happen ?

[OuttaSight]

Well we did our part. We made an amazing Tygra statue. IMO the single best ThunderCats collectible ever.

But only a few ordered it. Less than 50% of the number we need to go into production.

Im truly sorry as i had high hopes for the ThunderCats line, but it seems that most fans only wanted Lion-O and Mumm-Ra.

[Black Cat]

That's why Cheetara should have been next instead of Tygra.

Oh well, as long as you make She-ra I will be happy I guess lol

I undertand from a business point of view but
I'm sure you could understand our frustration ,
I grew up with thundercats Having the two main
Characters is a blessing but not being able to
Have the other thundercats really disappointing ,
I believe they could be as cool oh better than
Mummra oh Lion o .

I understand the frustration. Im frustrated as well. I dont understand those who feel the need to sling insults at us as if we did this to intentionally hurt the TCats fans.

I was surprised when Hard Hero said theirs werent selling. I thought how could that be....now I know.

[madmanny]

This is really sad news. Are you worried now that He-Man wont sell well?

[jlipps]

I'm so disappointed I was hoping to finally have a complete line of Tcats. Ok Jerry I want all prototypes sent to me now!!!!

[jlipps]

Ok Jerry how about a limited line direct from you

[Blacksunn]

Jerry,

I would blame Sideshow on this one. With the institution of the NRD and posting the infamous TBD edition size customers are now waiting to order.

I would not bail on this line or offer it on your site. I'm sure with the release of Tygra more customers will be ordering.

I know this is a huge gamble to produce without presold units but you are giving up on a truly important line.

[OuttaSight]

This is really sad news. Are you worried now that He-Man wont sell well?

Not at all...Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat both have healthy sales so why wouldnt MOTU ?

Not that Im doing MOTU....

The slinging insults Believing it was done intentionally
To hurt the tcat fans Is ridiculous , it's just people frustrated and angry , Doing and saying things without thinking. I'm upset my self but that doesn't solve anything. I just believe it has to do with the competition with marvel ,DC , MK , SF so many things coming out people can't afford everything , unfortunately Tcat not being so popular suffer cause
You did amazing work can't take away from that , is just not as popular and more important to other collectors like Dc marvel ect....... sad day today really is thundercats nooooooooo more :(

[marvelboi77]

I'm so depressed, I was really looking forward to Cheetara.

[GenoToys]

Not at all...Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat both have healthy sales so why wouldnt MOTU ?

Not that Im doing MOTU....

Because Street Fighter is Amazing!!!!!! :)

..sorry Thundercat fans...:(

[loricstone]

Unfortunately, yes.

Brother, i seriously hope you were able to get the money back you paid for the license. This is disheartening, but understandable from PCS standpoint.

This is always the biggest fear in starting a new license with just a moderate fan base. I sure as hell hope the MK line isn't suffering the same thing right now. I know the Scorpion did not sell as well as it should, and I can attribute a small amount of that to poor packaging and tons of breakage.

See this is what scares me about MOTU (even though its much more popular than Thundercats), a lot of people say they are on board, then the tune changes once they start to hit. Jerry have you ever thought of the possibility of doing T-Cats in a smaller scale 1/5? I would think it would cost a little less (even $30 makes a huge difference) to the consumer and for PCS to produce.

Hey, everything can't and will not be as popular as we expect sometimes. Im saddened by this news, but I guess its live and learn. It didn't work out well for HH and now PCS has cancelled the line, so apparently, TC isn't as popular in the statue market as was believed.

Shame to all the T-Cats fans who purchased these nicely done statues. I hate incomplete lines!

I think the market has dictated this situation Blacksunn. I don't think SS has anything to do with it. Every company that has products being distributed by SS has NRD.

Don't place the scapegoat on SS when even HH didn't sell well.

If our deal wasnt up in 6 months Id regroup and try to sell them direct through me. I only have to sell half as many if Im selling directly.

However, the deal is up soon and I cant afford to write another giant check on the *hopes* that it works out. Just far too risky.

I think you are right in that the market spoke and most TCats fans really only want Lion-O and Mumm-Ra. To most that is as complete a line as they need.

[FreakyFace]

I was going to order Tygra, but was waitng for the low quantity alert. I got both Mumm-Ra n Lion-O, both are awesome statues. Sad to see this line go.

[Pryde]

*sigh*
Very disappointed, but I hope some where down the line, a miracle would happen.

I love how I'm able to collect on all my favorite child hood memories. TMNT statues were awesome, Thudercats, He-Man, Voltron, and Transformers were the best shows when I was growing up. To be able to collect these statues, was a great reminder of my childhood, but alas, all good things must come to an end. I hope things will work out some how or some way.......=(

[cgdc]

sadness. Tygra was my favorite. I thought that I'd at least get him.

[jlipps]

Panthro I need a Panthro :-(

[Pryde]

Panthro I need a Panthro :-(

You and me bro, you and me....

[Gorolives]

I still think its a good idea offering them thru ur site only.

[MrYac]

I still think its a good idea offering them thru ur site only.

you must've missed the point about the license being up very soon, doesn't make any sense to spend all the cash to renew a line that you unfortunatly know isn't selling well

[Gorolives]

Oh im sorry!
I thought he paid for so and so characters not for time to hold the license to produce them...

[testsubject25]

I think this goes to show Sideshow saves some of their heavy hitters like Magneto, Juggernaut, etc. and spreads them out. People wanted the two big names from Thundercats, and bailed. Spreading them out maintains interest.

[manboy]

hey Jerry, is it possible to divulge how many numbers total you needed pre-ordered in order to go through with it?

[labanog]

will there be a chance for tygra and cheetarah still be sold at your website jerry? was really hoping to collect the tcats :(

[vmcoelho]

Oh man... really sorry for this whole siituation. Thundercats line was one of those lines that had me up on the fence for a long time (even today). I feel sorry for all the Tcats fans.

I was wondering... recently i read that Tekken was the Fighting game franchise with the biggest sales number considering all the titles... like, tekken sold 40 million copies and SF 30 million.

From a business standpoint and from your personal impression of the collectors requests Jerry, do you see yourself doing anything from tekken?

[dao2]

People still really like the other characters enough to purchase them which allows them to do this, doing something like that with the TC line might have killed it right out the box.

[EnShinNoi]

This sucks for Tcats fans because Tygra looked awesome, best if the 3 imo. I knew this line was in all kinds of trouble and was not expecting a continuation beyond Tygra but the cancellation still came as a surprise. At least fans got their Lion-O and Mumm-Ra.

[testsubject25]

Well we were only one away from that happening as it is. :laugh:

[premium_substit]

I'm sorry to hear this Thundercats fans :(

I would especially be gutted if i had seen a dynamic piece from my favorite line was coming up, and it wasn't to be released

but you have to look at the plus side.. honestly, if this were my favourite line, I would be greatful we at least got the 2 main characters. For example, if only Terry Bogard and Geese Howard were released from King of Fighters, it would bring a smile to my face they came to fruition and a company took a chance with them... and such bad ass renditions in 1:4 form to represent the line. At least we have that

[OuttaSight]

hey Jerry, is it possible to divulge how many numbers total you needed pre-ordered in order to go through with it?

200 is our minimum to go into production but that doesnt fluctuate depending on the piece.

Tygra didnt come close to 200

Just an out of the box idea...

The fans spoke already...they didnt pre-order Tygra. Its not like they can say it didnt look great or that the two previous pieces werent great.

They just didnt want it. No reason to retread that...but more importantly you cant use Kickstarter for licensed products. The license holders would be embarrassed if you didnt get enough contributors...looks bad.

I talked to them briefly awhile back and they wanted more money than i was willing to spend.

however, my armchair guess is even if Tekken sold more games SF is more popular. Not sure how to explain that...

[s_paulik87]

I really think it has to do with the characters. I very VERY casually play Street Fighter but I jsut love the characters and would buy almost any 1/4 statue as long as it wasnt someone like Sakura or something.

Tekken while a solid fighter, has meh characters minus a few in my opinion. Same reason I still will buy the MK statues. The characters....

[premium_substit]

I'm sorry for your loss hear as well J-mac.. I'm sure you wear it on your sleeve.. one thing is for sure.. I love Mortal Kombat and I love Street Fighter, and I especially love the way you do statues, so I will support the shiznit out of those lines. Support the lines you love. It's why I bought MK9 Scorpion though I wanted a different rendition, to support PCS for getting MK, it seemed a necessity for me to continue a dream line. Though I love that line now too.

[DRAGONTHEBOMB]

ahh the little boy in me just cried :waa: That really sux to hear..I was really looking forward on having a Thundercats display with all of them...:(..and no Cheetara :bawling:

[Mannequin]

Lets bid for the Prototype of Tygra shown on SDCC..

humm .. i wonder speculation. 500$ easily?

[Comicbookguy]

Well a lot of people still want it like me, I was waiting to get it for less than 400.00 because lion o ex is now for sale for 300.00 on the freaks forum. So does this mean no cheetara? Crap. :/ maybe GG should pick it up? But the flaws from the packing etc didn't help either. I mean look at chun Li, everyone was so excited to get it and then the eyes was mess up. I bought the red and blue one. Was so excited to get her, but with all the issues I quit the street fighter line. It's not worth all the troubles. I love sagat but didn't even order it in fears of more issues like chun Li. I'm thinking of selling both chun Li statues now. :(

[Comicbookguy]

I'm so depressed, I was really looking forward to Cheetara.

I bet she would sell much better than tigera! Should have put her out first. :jedidual:

[labanog]

still so sad to here the line will be axed,really didn't expect this,wonder if we will even get to see cheetarah! shes looking good from the protopics

[Comicbookguy]

still so sad to here the line will be axed,really didn't expect this,wonder if we will even get to see cheetarah! shes looking good from the protopics

:bawling: that's the one I really wanted, not tigera. That's the mistake that kill it by releasing tigera first.

[Leckske]

Wow, that's bad news.

Well, i'm still happy with my lion-o & mumm-ra. Hope you still made some money on this line.

How many prototypes do you have of Tygra? Are you willing to sell one/some? :)

[Angie]

I was afraid something like that could happen when I saw Tygra, because he looked awful. If P.C.S. had released Cheetara or Panthro like the fans wanted, this line wouldn't be ''dead''. This is a sad day for all the Thundercats fans.

[loricstone]

Tekken - 38.31m units sold worldwide. 16.08m units US

Dont forget you guys....a company was already making Tekken licensed statues and it bombed. The statues looked really nice too. I can't think of the name of the company, but it was mixed media and 1/4. They were getting ready to release Jin I believe when the line just collapsed.

Even though a game may sell more than another, doesn't mean the license is more popular. It could be a number of factors, like Tekken may have been a better recent game than the crap SSF 4. Who knows?

Personally, I wouldn't touch the Tekken license with a ten foot pole....but that's just me! SF is a much more memorable license. The characters stand the test of time. I can't think of 5 Tekken characters off hand.

If you thought Tygra looked awful then this line was really doomed. I think Tygra is by far the best of the three statues (would be statues) and I think most would be inclined to agree.

I do think Cheetara would have been the better choice to go with first. Female statues sell pretty well in the 1/4 market!

That Jin from Triad Toys is, IMHO, just horrible. Does not make justice to the character at all. I love TK just as much as SF and i wouldnt buy that Jin even if he costed fifty bucks.

If PCS were to make tk statues, things would be hella different... Im sure.

[DeadGhostKnight]

I can't believe that there wasn't 200 orders for this piece, i think it looked great.

I guess TC fans are more interested in action figures than high end statues.

[jlipps]

I agree Cheetara would have been a better choice for the third piece, but I think Panthro would have been a better choice since there has not been a Panthro produced.

Either way it is dead :thumbsdow

I hope Jerry will sell me any prototypes :drooling:

[JetFire76]

I am a bit confused...

From what I have read, it appears that the Thundercats statue line from PCS is dead. Is that the case? Or is it that Tygra is not going to be produced? I thought it was the latter

It's also strange that Tygra was not able to meet the 200 pre-orders. Just wondering if the reasoning for pulling Tygra takes into account pre-orders taken by comic shops or possibly factor in that people may buy this statue from a retail shop in hopes to buy it a bit cheaper. Sorry if this is a stupid question... but was just wondering.

Very sad tho that Tygra is not being produced.

If that is the case, I would not take that chance. I think Jerry is doing what's best in his interest for his company. I think any of us would do the same.

The operative word that gives anyone pause is MAY BUY. Pre-orders more or less are guaranteeed, although some may change their mind.

[Comicbookguy]

No cheetara and panthros! This sucks! :( I wanted those two before tygra. So Jerry how about making them for special orders?

[MrYac]

I wanted those two before tygra. So Jerry how about making them for special orders?

i will agree there, Tygra always seemed to be the least popular of the cats (behind the kids obviously), i mean hell even the other cats left him on 3rd Earth when they went back to New Thundera :p. with Panthro and Cheetara being the most popular (even ahead of Lion-O) but then i've never done any actual research, just going by opinions i've gathered over the years

[JetFire76]

Man ... that does suck. I would have definitely gotten a Panthro statue from this line as he is my favority character.

Think the problem is that there are too many statues that are coming out...almost all at once.. and I would have to guess that people are making choices among a large number of choices... and Tygra wasn't exactly on the top of peoples list. It just sucks that this basically killed the T-Cats line.

I think this huge insurgence of statues worked out for some companies and not for others.

[drkknight65]

This is a bummer. I was planning on getting the whole line. Hey Jerry how about sending me the Tygra that was displayed at the SDCC...

[Comicbookguy]

Yes you are very right! Tygra killed the line. I wonder why? :redface:

[OuttaSight]

It doesnt matter if Cheetara came out first...everyone would have still been upset and complained that without Tygra and Panthro its not complete.

In a way its best that its just Lion-O and Mumm-Ra as those two can stand alone...if it was Lion-O, Mumm-Ra and just Cheetara it would look really weird

[MrYac]

that i can agree with, main hero and main villian make for a better display then main hero and 1 or 2 associates and main villian

[mcss aerocoupe]

Last I saw Tygra had a release date around March. I was planning on putting my order in after the holidays. Oh well.

If the line had to fail before all 4 main cats were made, this was the best time for it. Hard Hero showcased how it would have been otherwise, having Cheetara, Tygra, and Ben Gali but no Panthro made it feel incomplete.

I guess this means my days of buying statues is officially over. :(

[crazy_legs03]

Its a shame the line had to be dropped, but your spot on that both Lion-O and Mumm-Ra can stand alone without the rest of the crew.

[Mumm-ra]

Jerry,

Thanks for giving it your best shot. Saddened to hear that the line is no more. Really love them.

Would there be any possibility in the future to do dioramas? Mumm-ra vs Lion-o, Panthro vs Slythe etc. Not sure what your previous license permitted.

They would look awesome.

[leplant]

Very disappointed that the line was cancelled. It baffles me that there isn't a wide enough customer base, to support the continuation of this line.

[jye318]

Oh wow, bad news here, thought I can see the whole line, many Jerry can do more street fighter now.

[Kadmos777]

Μost Thundercats fans are over 30 years old...The '80s are the best Cats. So I think not having a great younger fan-base may be one reason...and in a way I think that poor Panthro is cursed.

...and what about street fighter? Sagat is still up there without being released in so many pieces as far as I understand. A few ultra-dedicated fans do not represent the hole trend. Both lines have incredible statues but from my point of view it has to do with economy (the global economy dives and the prices...well are a bit pricey) and secondly I also think that maybe (at least with Thundercats) the scale could be a bit smaller (1/5 maybe?). I mean Lion-O and Mumm are huge and in general our space limits are not that large.

There is of course the "far too many statues to pick out there" factor...but this is the third explanation regarding promotion and succesful advertisement. Don't get me wrong but I think (don't know why, maybe I am wrong...I 'm too noob in all these) that PCS is more of a "limited access club" than a company open to more people...and we can discuss about that as much as you like...

[murdocke]

I just bought Mumm-ra and Lion-o exclusives last month. I bought them knowing they were going to continue to make more. I'm disappointed there won't be anymore, but I'm glad I got these two guys now and I'll look forward to the MOTU.

[Blacksunn]

Shouldn't Sideshow have to pay a NRD cancelation fee to its customers? :praying: LOL

I mean if I have to pay NRD fees to preorder would'nt it be nice for them to have to pay us if they cancel? This is the first time I have had a cancelation so I will let this one slide but the next one is on them!!!

Just a thought... :hilarious:

[Do or do not]

This is sad news. Just reading about it now. I'm happy I own both Lion-O and Mumm-Ra. Cheetara & Panthro would have been great too.

Jerry, do you plan on selling any prototypes to the board? Also, can you share with the board any final photos that would have been used for Panthro/Cheetara, etc? (not sure if these questions have been answered)

[Lionore]

Another blow for the Thundercats fans, i had high hopes for this line, some time ago we were discussing about extra characters like Slythe or jaga being made...but now we will have to make do with Lion-O and Mamm-ra.


I am sure Jerry did everything he could to provide us with Tygra but it's not up to him...

After Hard Hero, PCS has put an end to its Thundercata line, my guess is that the NS disappointment has affected every aspect of the franchise...


But Thundercats is/will ever be Thundercats and people will love them, no matter what.

Thank you for offering us these two great pieces Jerry, i am happy and proud for owing them!!:buttrock:

[cgdc]

I wonder if Mezco will cancel their line too?

They are not statues, but not bad for rotocast figures.

[marcos619]

Hey Jerry can we see the concept art of what Panthro would have looked like, if he came out

[manboy]

Now that it's done with anyway is it possible to see a full pic of Cheetarah?

[marcos619]

Oh that's right Manboy. I forgot that Cheetarah was already done.

[drkknight65]

Now that would be cool. lets see what could have been a possibility.

Well said Lionore...well said!:thumbs2:

[bernhawk]

Im so angry i hate incomplete lines im selling liono and mummra.

[Juggernaut]

Considering this Thundercats line is over any chance that Cheetara will be fully revealed so we know what we can't buy even though it will probably be the best statue of the line?

I was most excited about Cheetara.

[Vectorsigma75]

Im so angry i hate incomplete lines im selling liono and mummra.

On a brighter note, if you have Lion-O and Mumm-ra
Your line now is complete. :smokin:

[High Lord Apocalypse]

lol

[Erihppas]

I thought Tygra looked awesome. Too bad it won't get made.

It's unfortunate that there can't be some kind of arrangement so that the people who do want more Thundercats statues can still get them. Maybe if the statues would be priced higher? I don't know if they'd have astronomical price tags then though. :thinking:

[Podolski06]

Hi Jerry, can you please get us all excited about the new He-Man line and tell us which will be the first 5 character releases you have lined up.....and then cancel it after we have all bought into it. Thanks pal!:rimshot:

[Vectorsigma75]

Im seriously considering getting Mumm-ra because the 2 pieces are a set now (companion pieces)

[Lionore]

I am very disappointed by the sudden turn of events, i've been saving money for this line and working double shifts! in order to acquire Tygra, Panthro and Cheetara. too bad the latest info are disheartening...The same goes for the stop of the 2011 Series. It's definitely not the best outcome fort eh franchise...

I really really hope the Cats don't stay in limbo and in the fridge for 25 more years...

I know that there are quite a number of customers that Jerry has lost now due to this news...i truly believe he should have released Panthro after Mummra. This would no doubt have sold out instantly IMO...Why show us a painted Cheetara head sculpt if Tygra was next to be released? We didnt even see the final pic of her! Sounds odd to me. We were promised Tygra, then Cheetara 2 months later, then Panthro 2 months after that! Now look whats happened! In regards to Tygra, yes it was a good sculpt but maybe people were waiting to get it after the release to save a few pennies which is what sometimes happens or maybe it was priced too high? Either way i have lost confidence in Jerry and his company and i will join those others who have now turned their back to him. Very disappionting.

[Podolski06]

No way! Mummra looks awful and too plastic-y for my taste. I never got him for those reasons and because he's on such a high base he looks out of scale to Liono...I say sell Lion-o while you can...without the rest of the Thundercats your collection is worthless :thumbs2:

Partly, i agree with you.Indeed Panthro is the most neglected character, HH, PCS, Icon heroes left him to be released much later. Only Mezco produced him early and from what i;ve been reading it's going quite well.
But Mezco's quality can't match up to a statue, so for me Panthro should be shown more respect and tribute...

Tugra was HH's last statue and apparently Jerry's last displayed thundercats piece. So We have seen 2 versions of the same character, the same goes for cheetara but none for Panthro. My guess, but Panthro could have brought back the line and running...

However, Jerry couldn't have predicted the sudden fall of the franchise and the drop of interest so i wouldn't blame him.

Without doubt Panthro should have been next! Real bad decision on Jerrys part IMO. As for where the blame lies, well thats upto each person to decide but to pull the whole project and discontinue the line lies with Jerry....he could easily have put Panthro up next or a Slythe or Wily Kit or Wily Kat with Snarf exclusive to get the line going again and then tried again with Tygra later down the line...

[StatueBandit]

I am also disheartend about the recent turn of events as I was really looking forwrad to putting the Thundercats together ... by far one of my top 3 favorite cartoons as a kid.

Therefore with that said what will Sideshow exactly be doing in regards to everyone who ordered Tygra as I not only got hit with a NRD I used my Reward Points as well.

[loricstone]

What a jerk. If I was Jerry (which I am not), I wouldn't do MOTU. I would make a bunch of them for myself and then show them off so that YOU and others like YOU would get pissed even more knowing you could never get what I can make....especially since I would have the skill and ability to do it.

Grow up Pod. You should be much better than this.

[Erihppas]

:drama:

No, this one sooner applies: :goodpost:

As Pod's reaction was childish. Bashing Jerry for this is just immature.

The above is my opinion...I'm not attacking anyone.

A few people posted the cancellation email they received from Sideshow. It said that the NRD would be refunded and any reward points used would be returned (I assume if any payment plan/flex payments have been made they would also get refunded). So even though it sucks, no collector will be out any money on this.

[derekrodneysim]

Now Jerry can eBay the spare Tygra and make a killing. It would be the only other Tygra besides the one for himself in existence. Talk about way cool.

On the other hand, bummer that the line is dead.

[Ex-Parrot]

The whole situation sucks, and is understandably frustrating to fans, but at the end of the day the simple math is if there aren't enough customers willing to lay down cash to keep a particular line going then it is financial suicide to keep producing product for it. It isn't an attack on the fans, or a slap in the face to those who did support the line, it's not done out of any malice, it's just the way things are and have to be.

At the end of the day if you don't listen to the market you go broke pretty damn fast, more than ever in the current climate. I'm sure if it was in any way financially viable then Jerry would have found a way forward, sadly, sometimes, it just isn't, and you have to cut your losses and move on.

Sadly, every time a niche license with a limited fanbase is started, this is exactly the risk that gets run, and all the great sculpts in the world won't save a line that people just aren't supporting and laying down money for...just ask Hard Hero (amongst countless others) about that one.

So all you Thundercats fans have my sincere condolences, and as a fan of many a niche character and license myself, believe me, I know exactly how you guys feel, been through such disappointments myself before, sure I'll see yet more again in the future. But at least you got a couple of great pieces that can stand well on their own or together. And while that may not be all that you hoped for, it's still something.

[drkknight65]

Well said. In the end we as a fan base killed the line. I pre-ordered my ex tygra. With less than 50% ordered I don't blame Jerry for canceling the line.

[manboy]

What an infant. Your "excitement" doesn't pay his overhead. No demand= no profit. Simple as that. This isn't a charity.

Do a raffle for the Tygra... $100 per number. Do a web video of the lottery pick. Have a few smaller prizes for the losers (Few Dark Raptors?) or the chance to be first in line on another preorder on a limited edition or coupon for 5-10% off next purchase.

Alot of different directions you can go on this one to satifiy the angry mob. :)

You would recoup your overhead and more...

:iagree: but i wouldnt call Jerry a Jerk, thats a bit harsh...lets keep things civil on here please

[Hercules75]

This is actually GREAT news..
Jerry has nearly killed his flagship line, Street Fighter, by indulging in all these silly lines on the side that very few care about. The result? Only 1 Street Fighter PF coming out per year and that one that does come out is riddled with QC issues. So this is a blessing in disguise, now PCS can put that much more time, focus and resources into the only line that really matters.

Actually, Jerry had BETTER focus more on the SF line because very stiff competition is heading his way via PrototypeZ Studios new SF line:
