At Power-Con 2018, Mattel had a display of some potential new Masters of the Universe and Thundercats Classics at their booth. For Masters of the Universe, since Super 7 is handling the main line, Mattel was showcasing updated Jumbo 12″ figures, which have new head sculpts that more accurately reflect the classic toys. they also dropped in a couple of surprise Thundercats Classics figures! They had Jaga and Grune on display. Everything is listed as “Concept Figures” with no guarantee they will be produced, so this may wind up being a display just for the sake of having a display at the show. The photos come courtesy of ToyShiz on Instagram.

Mattel Masters of the Universe and Thundercats at Power-Con 2018
I'm confused. I thought SUPER7 was doing MOTU stuff and Thundercats, what else can Mattel offer. I think I read Mattel didn't make a lot of money last year and they didn't meet their earnings or something
Please continue the Thundercats line!
im NOT intrested in jaga and grune. Im waiting for a Mumm-ra, Cheetara and a Panthro its long over due...
wait a second, is that classics from mattel (non-super7 figures)? eww, intresting, you caught my attention. lets see what else they have up their sleeves dont know why they keep focusing on MOTU vintage wave. they should focus on classics and the future of MOTU instead of going backwards and dragging their feet with 12 " vintage stuff.
Didn't they already make a Panthro?
Updated posts with new photos. New MOTU 12" articulated figures, new Mega-Construx.
Uhhhhhhhh... Mattel already canceled the Thundercats line. I'm not sure exactly what this is.
Really hoping Mattel's not just jerking us around, showing Jaga and Grune like that. That said, if they want my (and I suspect most other fans') money they'd better pony up and get friggin' Tygra, Cheetara AND Mumm-ra in the first wave. None of this padding out the line with other characters and not finishing the core group. Yeah, Jaga and Grune are nice but we spent good money and we want the complete team already.
EDIT: I just realized there are prolly a ton of people who unloaded their Thundercats Classics since it seemed the line was gone for good. I imagine those people are pretty upset at this news.
****News Flash***
just saw video coverage with pixel dan at Power-Con 2018 and he said Thundercats is coming back

Okay, now I'm all kinds of confused. I thought this was an old thread last night as I misread the 2018 as 2016.
So they're redoing the Thundercats line? I thought they weren't able to let Super 7 do it?
I'm hoping that the return of Thundercats Classics is inevitable!
What makes me think that these prototypes weren't just shown for the sake of showing what could have been, but rather what's in store for the near future is the fact that Funko will be releasing
orginal MOTU style Thundercats soon so maybe there is now some leniency with the license?
The 12" articulated figures are awesome. I want an Evil-Lyn.

ThunderCats are back !!!
Stratos and Scareglow look nice!
Kind of figured T-Cats were going to come back. With T-Cats roar on the horizon, and it likely to generate more interest in the franchise as a whole, It'd be smart to get some product ready to test the reception.
If mattel has got the building block rights for them too, they should look into those for Mega Construx minifigures too.
I love the Mega Construx MOTU stuff. Kinda disappointed they didn't show any new Classics or even just more Ultimates. I'm all in on the Slime Pit He Man. I still don't get why Mattel is getting back into the game. Seems like such a weird, confusing effort. I mean, I guess more product is better but it's confusing.

By the way, does anyone know what happened with TMNT Mega Construx? Did they lose the license?

Currently, they should still have TMNT and Power Rangers both. But it's also waiting for the right timing to announce anything new, as well as the right hype to grab hold of.
Hopefully we'll see something at Toy Fair for those.
I haven't got any He-Man stuff since the 80's but if I find that Megabloks 5 pack I'm all over it.
HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Don't let this be a fakeout!
So I was wrong to sell off my Thundercats club figures?
