Thundercats Classic Wilykit and Wilykat In-Hand Gallery

Posted on August 16, 2016 at 9:56 am by Tony_Bacala under Random Photo Shoot, Thundercats Toy News

Thundercats Classic debuted at SDCC 2015 and fans rejoiced! Finally an updated line of Thundercats figures to go with all our other modern reinterpretations. They would be handled by the Four Horsemen of Masters of the Universe Classics fame along with MattyCollector.

Half a year later, and something looked off as only 4 figures would be coming out in year one and it would start later than expected. Ok, not great, but things happen. A couple months later – we are surprised with a kick off to the line a bit early at SDCC 2016 – The Thunderkittens will drop as a 2 pack. Awesome! And then it didn’t show up for the show. Sonofa! Then right after that during SDCC 2016 – we find out MattyCollector is shutting down and the line will be cancelled after the first round of figures come out. WTF. I get it, business is business, but that’s two false starts in 5 years for a collector’s level Thundercats line, and that’s makes me sad. I am happy to grab these figures as is, but hopefully The Four Horsemen, Super 7, and Warner Brothers can figure it all out and continue the line like they are with MOTUC.

Until then, let’s take a look at the first Thundercats Classic figures to drop – Wily Kit and Wily Kat in their SDCC exclusive packaging. We have over 110 images of them in action after the break!

Thundercats Classic Wily Kit and Wily Kat San Diego Comic Con Exclusive 2 Pack

Pros
Great sculpts
Captures youthful pre-teen look
Articulation is above average
Accessories are functional and plenty

Cons
Paint application is sloppy

Overall
Great kick off to the line here! The figures are youthful without being toddler like. The sculpt, paint deco, and articulation are all excellent. The execution of the paint in certain places is a bit sloppy tho, noticeably the faces. Each come with additional hands, folded up whips for the belt, extended whips for action. Wilykat also has a smoke bomb molded into an additional hand. On top of all that, they also come with their hoverboards, excellently done. A single peg allows for posing, while the clear stand fits perfectly into a slot on the bottom allowing for dynamic board poses. Really livens up the shelf when both the board and figures are hitting those angles you couldn’t get otherwise. I would be super hyped, but as we talked above – the drama with the line and it’s currently cancelled status kinda takes the oomph out of it right now. I’ll be holding firm, eagerly anticipating the sub figures later in the year, and hoping for the best.

Key shots here, full set of 110+ below!

    I would have sent them back for an exchange, if my Wilykat's face was painted like that.

    I have never sent anything back for an exchange due to paint. Rarely even when they break. Too lazy.

    Wow, that face is horrible. It looks like his nose was dripping snot and he didn't bother to wipe it off.

    That paint would ruin it for me. For an expensive, exclusive collector's figure, I would expect a decent paint job.

    Bad paint apps are one thing, but that looks like somoene just dropped splotches on the figure instead of actually painting it. In fact, it looks like how I would end up painting a face, so if I wanted my faces to look like that, I could do that myself for free.

    I got 3 sets of these and none of mine look bad like that. I'd be contacting them for a replacement. That's awful.

    The 6" classic Lion-O (open mouth) or the 6" modern Lion-O? I'm guessing classic, but thought I'd clarify before taking a picture =o)

    I still have my original solid figure and it doesn't have that big horizontal seem line in her hair.

    I was thinking of the Classic Lion-O with open mouth.

    Great pics! Lion-O looks ok. Like the head sculpt a lot. Not sure what it is, but something feels off about it the figure to me, especially considering the Wily Kittens were so good.

    EDIT:
    I will say, he does look really good next to the Filmation He-Man.

    Great pics!
    I really like this figure! Seems like Mattel makes the best stuff right before a line ends. In particular..the eyes and the claw shield are awesome! You can actually see hair texture in the claw, big improvement. The eyes are much bigger than the older classics line, looks more cat like.

    The only thing I don't like is that he seems more like a Lion-O figure from the MOTU line. The body is basically the same style body of MOTU figures. This was expected as they must have reused some parts from MOTU figures. The paint also is kind of sloppy for such an important character, and such a delayed figure.

    Filmation He-Man and Skeletor, and Lion-o are going to be some very sought after figures for years to come unless we get a re-release.

    Wow, Lion-O needs to eat something as he looks quite anorexic in the abdomen. At least yours wasn't riddled with the quality issues Jay C got. Nevertheless, I'm glad I never bothered to get these given the team will never get completed (again).

    I love these T-Cats figures and hope that Super7 will be able to follow through and complete the team in the same MOTUCish style... If not, I'm still happy to have the characters we did/will get... and with the recent MOTU/ThunderCats comicbook, it gives them a decent cross-over display appeal...

    I personally would rather have the whole team or no team at all. I'm so sick and tired of having broken teams.

    Great pics of an awesome figure. Just got mine today and I love it. Too bad the line won't go past this year, but that's not going to stop me from enjoying the ones that ARE getting released
