THUNDERCATS PANTHRO SERIES
THUNDERCATS PANTHRO TV

disarming! It's a great design, though, and even with the oversized hands and a few minor complaints about the paint, we can declare this toy to be good enough. It's a character we knew from the original show, and who had been drawn into the promo art, but the creators threw a curveball by not actually making him part of the cast.

THUNDERCATS PANTHRO SERIES

The new series did a great job of teasing us with Panthro - especially since he was dead before the first episode began. They were in the '80s, and they are in the modern version. Both versions of the accessory are molded from silver plastic and are unpainted - which is disappointing, since we know they should appropriately be red and blue. The stowed set plugs into the back of his belt, and the molded chain hangs slack in case you were confused about which way to face it. The chain connecting the 'in-use' set is a single, solid piece of molded plastic, but since it's separate from the sticks we get swivel joints at both ends, and thus some limited poseability. There's the set he's seen holding in the package, with the two separate sticks connected by a chain, and a second Mayan meditation Panthro realms spiritual Thundera thundercats truth The. Panthro gets two versions of his trademark weapon, the nunchucks. Mayan God represented by the black jaguar Panthro from Thundera aliens. And while his scars are painted - even the one on chest - his cloudy right eye (he's got a touch of glaucoma) is absent, instead being painted to match his healthy left eye. There are a few problems with the paint, including the fact that the spikes on his back and on his feet are the same brown as his clothes, rather than the silver they should be. His various scars are all sculpted in, rather than merely being painted, so points for that! They've made an effort to re-create the spikes on his costume, though safety regulations mean the 'spikes' are more like 'rounded bumps.' Well, half safety regulations, half a physical need to get the pieces out of the molds. Now, granted, the new cartoon has stylized, anime-influenced designs, but the cartoon hands aren't as inflated as the toy's. The sculpt is quite good, but the proportions are slightly off: his hands are about 25% too big for his body. Panthro stands just a bit below 4½' tall, and moves at the neck, shoulders, elbows, gloves, hips, thighs, knees, boots and ankles. Into 4' and 6' lines - Panthro's among the first releases in both, but we've chosen to collect the smaller figures, because that was the only way to get Cheetara. They live in a world where technology is considered a myth, but he drives and maintains a complicated motor vehicle when everybody else is riding pack animals. Yes, he can probably lift any three other team members by himself, but he's also the brains of the Thundercats. Anybody can be tough - every group needs its big strong guy, but Panthro is more than just his muscles. Panthro is as tough as they come, whether driving the ThunderTank or fighting with his weapon of choice - nunchucks! Were the creators of the Thundercats trying to send a political message when they made the black guy a panther?

I suppose *we'll* be caddies.B u y t h e t o y s, n o t t h e h y p e. Running for 130 episodes over four seasons, its gained a cult following and has since lived on as both a comic book and a couple of short-lived TV shows. maybe a space-golf-course might be good to help us unwind. We get enough exercise without those things. Next you'll want a laser bowling-alley and a fly-in movie.ĭon't be ridiculous. Yeah, and how 'bout an astro-tennis court while we're at it? Nothing fancy - just, say, big enough for a raft. This version of Panthro comes from Wave 1 of the ThunderCats Super7 Ultimates line and what a way to kick off the line Super7 really leaned into the cartoon look for their Ultimates line and if these are like their previous releases from other properties, we know these figures will be top of the line Panthro is a mechanic/engineer and pilot. How about moving some of that stuff to Cats' Lair? That way we can help balance the food-chain and stock wildlife and forests. Why not use Domedown to move abundant topsoil to needy farmers, or lakes to areas where they need water? He didn't know it, but he really had a good idea. Twotime was ripping up the environment for his own greedy reasons, to sell it off to the highest bidder.
