New Thundercats series... - Mirage - 06-03-2010 09:16 AM
Normally i would be stoked at this announcement...
But given the recent murder of one of the original Thundercats writers, it seems a little callous to announce this so close to his death.

You've hit the nail on the head there. Seems very tastless, maybe should have been put on hold a month or 2.

Yeah... could have timed that better...
Is it an official release or was it leaked?

According to the reports I have seen it was a Cartoon Network press release.

I think the timing is more them being opportunistic, announce it while Thundercats is still on people's minds. Even if they get bad press saying its bad taste, it's still free publicity...

In all fairness they didn't actually have a lot to work with there.

Did you see the DBZ toys...
They were below 70s star wars quality.
Pegs in joints with contrasting colours to the figure itself.
Absolutly attrocious.

But in their defense, they also produce the rather amazing Ben 10 toys.
