The new Thundercats...Ho!

A bit news and spoiler:

Spoiler

Tigra and Lion-o are now brothers in this version.

This will be interesting to see.

A little bit of trivia. Some rumor that the company that made Thundercats (also the same that made silverhawks and The Hobbit/Return of the King/Last Unicorn movies) was the first Japanese Anime company in the US. It wasn't exactly Japanese Anime, but it did use some of the art styles of anime, perhaps in part due to the Oriental Artists they employed at the time. If you pay attention to the artists at the end of the shows/movies you'll see that the Asian names pop up in the credits.

I note that the characters do look a little like the Anime of today, I wonder how much of that will carry over.

Test footage possibly!

Yeah, looks like test footage. Seemed decent, though, but seems like the artwork is going to change a bit for the final version.

Edit: Wow, I should really get through posts quicker. Guess it wasn't test footage.

More character designs revealed by the new toy packages.

I like slithe's design, long digits add a nice creepiness. Shame his toy is decked out in pilot headgear / armor and they made his digits thicker so they wouldn't break.

Slithe and Mumm-Ra are actually pretty close to their original looks, which is good. Both were very well-designed (and for the longest time Slithe was my personal look for lizardmen).

I will keep an eye (pun intended) out for a better copy.

Thundarians have gladiatorial combats and are using slave labor?! That is some NICE Sword & Sorcery grit!



Lower quality jpg.

Trailer shows a ton of potential.

Is it just me, or do Wily Kat and Wily Kit look like they belong in a Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles game?
