And here's the sale link for Amazon Exclusive Toy Thundertank - $500USD with Panthro.

Amazon Thundertank 2

Looks good but not sure how this will do considering the last Thundertank may be all most collectors need and the fact that BBTS is still trying to sell through their stock (on sale no less).  

I'll be interested to see if this shows up anywhere on Amazon Canada (nothing as of yet)

It is CRAZY to me that Amazon is the one asking for a new run of this thing.    For me it means I would definitely not order now and just wait for Amazon to get antsy sitting on pallets full of this $500 vehicle that won't sell and slashing the price.     

And I was one of the people saying that Panthro was never going to get a Deluxe release because Super7 would have to start from scratch with molds and what not since they don't have access to the original any more.   It made sense for them to re-do Lion-O from scratch but I didn't see how they'd make Panthro worth it, especially since you can still buy Panthro for $45 right now.    

But this is how.   Bake the costs remolding Panthro into the costs of a new run of Thundertank repaints.    Now they can get away with releasing Deluxe Panthro eventually.     Jackal Man and Pumyra - and Mummy Mumm-Ra would be the only Mattel molded figures not fully redone by S7 at that point.    I can't imagine Pumyra being worth it to redo, but who knows I guess.   Jackal Man seems slightly more possible.   shrimpy Mumm-Ra actually seems like the most likely candidate, though.

See I think Pumyra is definitely worth redoing. She’s the worst in the line, and if redone using parts from Willa and Nayda, she would be in scale. Plus you could use most of the regular figure to do her in her escape from thundera look, with Bengali and Lynx-o also in those outfits.

I'm not saying I wouldn't be interested.   I'm saying I don't think the market is there to sell Pumyra a third time just to get her on a new body.    Maybe I'm wrong.    I'd be down for the alternate looks for all three of those season 2 'Cats.   I guess it would depend on how much existing tooling they could leverage without new molds...  I'm just skeptical that she would be popular enough to invest in new tooling for a figure that has been offered twice before -  even if that figure was out of scale.

Astral Lion-O which is maybe SDCC or Walmart exclusive?  Pretty cool looking box and figure.
