The height of the statue might be a matter of concern to some collectors. Here is one of the comments from Tweeterhead's social in response to someone hesitant to get Lion-O based on the height.

For most fans Lion-O needs to be desirable enough for them to jump on the line, while for others the whole line will be too much of a commitment both in terms of cost and space, so Lion-O will be it or perhaps couple of characters more.
But if Lion-O also turns out to be Tweeterhead website exclusive, it could deter many non-US collectors from ordering, even though they want to add Lion-O to their collection. As many usually order from retailers in their country thus avoiding bigger customs fees and shipping charges.
Hopefully Lion-O comes with an exclusive which can be available only on Tweeterhead, while the regular version can be available through retailers.

10 years ago in September 2014, I rambled on about ThunderCats merchandise while looking back at all the modern ThunderCats items available up to that year. This was before the Mattel figures, Sideshow statues, and Super 7 figures.
I also went on about wanting to promote ThunderCats online and keeping the fandom in the spotlight.
The official ThunderCats Facebook page has over 2.5 million followers. No posts since 2018. If WB cared enough about this franchise (they don't), that page would be doing cross promotion with Tweeterhead.
