Over on the MattyCollector Forums, Skeletor’s Love child has revealed an update to their new Thundercats Lion-O sculpt. For a refresher, here’s the photos of Lion-O from San Diego Comic-Con 2015. And here’s the info on the new sculpt:
Good day Thunderians!
Remember the Lion-O we showed at Comic Con this year? We loved him and you loved him too, but after hearing from the fans and doing a little thinking we decided to take a trip back to the sculpting table to make him a little more cartoon-esque.
Per the Four Horsemen: “Between the sculpting and paint there were a lot of changes, but we feel like it was well worth it! The figure looks much more animation accurate, and it fits the look of the rest of the figures much better.”
I thought he was pretty breathtaking before but now? Thundercats hooo, indeed. :)

Mattel Reveals Updated Thundercats Lion-O Sculpt
Sweet baby vinshu he's beautiful
Wow
I will collect them all!
His claw arm still looks huge though.
Now that looks alot better than He-Man wearing a Lion-O costume.
Must buy.
Sweet!
Awesome. Matty keeps my attention. Silverhawks please.
urgh. looks like i'm going to have to start saving because he looks great and i'm sure i'm not going to just stop at lion-o...
I hope the series goes long enough that we get a ben-gali figure.
Wow, what an improvement.
Oh wait, still Mattycollector, nope.
Waaay better and consider him bought!!
Awesome!! Well done, 4H!!
Now Matty, just get rid of digital river & we all can order this kitty without a care...
other than the eyebrows, i liked the older version and wouldn't have had a problem buying it. this version looks good too though. so win/win i guess..
also, maybe its just me but the legs on the new version look a bit shorter and stubbier than the previous version...?
It actually doesn't look that different to me. The face has a different expreassion, and the paint is different, but otherwise it looks the same. But better, yes.
I liked the slightly darker paint apps (more toys colors) , but the more toon accurate colors don't bother me. I will have to sub because I want the mummy Mum-Ra exclusive. I hope these do well and we get a good assortment of Characters. I also like that these are going to be only Bi-Monthly releases. I want the main cast but I already see them doing a Robear 3 pack for SDCC next year. I also really hope we get the latter cats from the Movie.
Love it! Much better paint on the face. I'll be subbing for sure. Really wish DR would go away though.
Am I the only one that thinks his trunks in the crotch should be wider? I feel like I can see too much up in the junk region. Are MOTUC that way?

I know its early to ask, but Ill ask anyway...
If there is going to be a runup to the line with vehicles and base play sets this line can actually mean something again.
