Saw a listing just now on BBTS for a wave of 6" figures -  it's really more or less one figure in a WHOLE lot of various colorways -  I guess there's a few distinct head sculpts.

 

But basically it's anthropomorphic big cats in martial arts gis -  there's  Tiger, White Tiger, Black Panther,  Snow Leopard, Cheetah and Jaguar each in various colored gi  -  black, white, blue or red.      It seems like a silly concept but I'm a super sucker for anthropomorphic cats -  can't resist them.

 

At first I thought the outfits were soft goods - which would have kept me away -  but when I looked, it turns out the bodies are fully sculpted, so in I went.

 

Still -  they all look too similar to get one of each species even -  even with different colored karate suits... so I restricted myself to a White Tiger in a red gi and a Black Panther in a white gi...   and I think that can be enough...

 

Apparently they were sculpted by the 4Horesemen -  according the IconHeroes website, so they've got that going for them.

 

There's also a kickstarter for a comic book of the property which looks to feature other kung fu fighting animal species,  so maybe more fun action figures to follow.

 

Anyway, if there are any other weirdos out there who have a soft spot for anthropomorphic cat action figures,  you might want to give these a look.
