Super7 is now into the 10th wave of figures in their ThunderCats Ultimates lineup, so it’s no surprise that they’re going beyond the main cast and digging deeper for inspiration. In this case we’re getting a young version of Lion-O, a translucent Mumm-Ra from the 1985 “Dream Master” episode, the robotic thief Quick-Pick, and Snarf’s nephew Snarfer.ย

What’s Happening With The Thundercats Movie?
While a ThunderCats comic is definitely on the way, things have been quiet on the movie front. In March of 2021,ย news broke that Godzilla vs. Kong director Adam Wingard would direct a ThunderCats movieย for producer Michael Bay. The animated series, originally developed by Rankin-Bass, will reportedly serve as a “jumping-off point” for the movie, but the new adaptation will forge its own path.
“ThunderCatsย is a dream project for me,” WIngard said at the time. “When I was in high school, I was obsessed with it. You’d think at that point, I was a little too old, that my years of obsession withย ThunderCatsย would be when I was six years old. My real obsession withย ThunderCatsย came in high school, the pinnacle of me deciding I wanted to be a filmmaker, and pushing in that directionโฆI actually spent most of my 10th grade year, I completely blew it. I didn’t pay attention in school, made terrible grades. And the reason? I was writing myย ThunderCatsย screenplay through my entire tenth grade year. And I was hand writing it. The screenplay itself ended up being 272 pages long. I still have it.”
