For my latest post I bring you the last of the Thundercats
that I bought in the last while. The
last one was Panthro, the loyal soldier to the king. Out of all the three
figures he is the one who they have changed the most from the original figure.
This version of the character is a lot broader and stockier build the old
version that was much taller character. When it comes to this character, he
gets the least amount of extra weapons and no extra hand parts. With Panthro
you only get an open pair of nun chucks for him to hold in his hands, you also
get a second nun chuck that is tied up that can be connected to his back of his
belt. He is the only one that does not include any extra hands; this causes a
lot of problem because it is very tight to get his weapon into hands. They kept
some of the look character by keeping the spikes on the character but they also
changed by adding even more spikes to the character, they are not just on his
straps. He has the spikes on his wrists and shin guards. So he looks even more
vicious then the older version.
Panthro comes with lots of articulation much like the other
range of figures. He comes with over 20 points of articulation much like the
other figures in this line. Out of the three figures, I found Panthro the
loosest in places and also because of the size of his torso, he is a lot
tougher to get to stand up and pose. His
hands have no articulation at all so you only have him with closed fists. This
is very disappointing after getting the other figures were you get lots of
extras that you could do lots of poses for the character. The colour scheme of
the character is very much like the old version some minor changes but its more
about the build of the Panthro that is different. They kept different grey tones
and dark blue /grey tones.
At the moment, this will be my last Thundercat review unless
I get a chance to order the set that came out only in the states. This is the
biggest failing that this series had; they brought out to many versions of the
character, ranging from different sizes and quality. They should have pick only
one version or at least stick to two and then go from there after they saw how
popular the line was then they could have created more. But sadly the toy line
and the show have both been cancelled. I may get some of the smaller scale
version of the other characters and if I do get more I will do more reviews on
these but next I will be looking at some Marvel Universe figures.
