I have the original Lion-O figure by LJN, and this new one is like watching my childhood hero go through an epic upgrade montage. The LED eyes are a game-changer, making Lion-O look like he’s about to leap off the shelf and into battle. It’s a stunning blend of vintage appeal and modern tech, capturing the essence of the character while adding a fresh, dynamic twist.

Both Mumm-Ra and Grune complement the glowing-eyed Lion-O beautifully, adding more depth and danger to the Thundercats lineup. If you’re a fan like me, seeing these characters brought to life with such precision is a real treat. It’s like having a piece of the Thundercats universe right on your shelf.
