| Thanks for Watching!! This is a review of the first figure from the Thundercats Classic toy line, the Lord of the Thundercats Lion-O. The toy is made by Bandai and is available at several stores, though this is the special edition San Diego Comic Con version. Lion-O has many more points of articulation than I showed in the video. He comes with a small sword of omens, large sword of omens, gripping interchangeable hand, claw shield and sword stand. My only gripes with this figure are that it was overpriced and didn't really warrant a "Special Edition" label in my opinion. Also, the extra paint lines on the muscles can be offputting, though I don't mind them so much. The packaging is sleek and classic but I was disappointed that you are forced to open the box to see Lion-O. I like to collect two of each figure, one to open and one to display. You aren't given that option here. You can pose Lion-O in many different ways which adds to the fun. I can't wait to get Classic Snarf to put next to him. His classic outfit is bright and bold with the traditional Thundercats red and black insignia highlighting the costume. His orange hair is recreated very nicely and his face retains the classic cartoon look. I am glad they didn't try to make him extra mean. He is very tall and heavy, a sturdy figure that you would expect to stand the test of time. Please Subscribe!
