We've received additional information about the new line of statues being produced by Hard Hero. The line will also include busts of ThunderCats characters in addition to full-sized statues. They hope to have a prototype to show at this year's San Diego Comic Convention being held on July 23-26. A press release is expected soon!
----------------------
According to a forum message posted by Rob Potts, Hard Hero will be creating a new line of ThunderCats statues! The message, which was posted on several other statue forums mentions that the company had been pursuing the license for six years and that they are already into the design stage and have some pretty cool ideas lined up.
No word on the release date or prices, but we will definitely be keeping up with this exciting news! ThunderCats Lair will be attending this year's San Diego Comic Convention and hope to have additional information soon.
Thanks to forum member Vivek for the heads up! Join the discussion on our forums!
4.13.2009 | Site management positions open - how to apply Posted by: Grizzlor
ThunderCatsLair.org is growing and we're expanding our strong team so that we can keep up with all the demands of the fanbase and visitors. We're opening 2-3 new management roles to join the site and help take the site to the next level. This is your chance to contribute. If any of the roles described below sound like a good fit with your interests and your skills then please contact us so that you can be considered.
Our goals this year and next are to boost the original content up on the site. As such we are looking for the following...
The roles: A site content author to contribute feature stories, to assist with the ThunderCatsLair encyclopedia effort and other areas of the site. This person will have a writing background and will have broad knowledge of the ThunderCats property. We're looking for somebody who can cover stories from the cartoon to the comics to the toys to the new movie etc.
We're looking for an intermediate level web designer or webmaster. This person will assist with publishing our content to the site. This person would assist the team by posting raw content to the site using a consistent look and feel and would suggest a standard style guide so that the various sections continue to feel like part of the same site.
Lastly we need a co-manager of the Merchandise section which has a ton of good content ready to go, but we're lacking the resources to get that area organized, designed and published. This person will be a fan and probably a collector of T-Cat merchandise and will source images of merchandise from other collectors, from ebay auctions etc. They will research the history of merchandise and help bring this section to life for the site. Good writing skills and an understanding of good website design are necessary skills for this role.
The application process
Please e-mail your application to grizzlor@thundercatslair.org for consideration. We'll accept applications between now and the end of May and we'll get back to the successful candidates to welcome them aboard. Your application can take what ever format you feel will best describe to us how you're uniquely qualified to join the team. A simple e-mail describing how you'd be able to help will do, or you can take a more unique approach and provide samples of your work, or you could mock up web pages to show us what you're capable of. You may want to submit draft articles or story or content ideas... you choose how you want to wow us!
Please forward this to your friends if you can think of someone that would be a good fit for this work. Please note that these positions do not offer financial compensation.
Cheers, The ThunderCatsLair.org team
2.20.2009 | JP Targete re-imagines the ThunderCats Posted by: Grizzlor
JP Targete (www.targeteart.com), an accomplished digital and traditional illustrator, concept artist and Art Director for books and Video games has done some jaw dropping artwork on his re-imagined versions of the ThunderCats. For many of us who've wondered what the digital movie versions of the ThunderCats may look like, here is a hypothetical view into what could be.
Note that JP has not identified himself as being associated with the movie, he's a fan like you and me who has applied his craft to painting our favourite cartoon heroes. To see the art he's hosted with us check out this forum post
Maybe with some encouragement we'll get to see more characters brought to digital life by JP... get posting!
2.18.2009 | Mumm-Ra appears on Family Guy Posted by: Grizzlor
This is the second time we've had a ThunderCats cameo on the show. It's from Season 7 episode 5 at about the 15 minute mark. Enjoy!
12.19.2008 | An early Christmas present from ThunderCats Lair! Posted by: He-Fan
For those of you who downloaded Nick's special teaser that we uploaded for our 3rd anniversary, you'll have discovered who the star of our latest exclusive audio interview is. For those of you who haven't yet found out, ThunderCats Lair is proud to reveal one of the most sought-after ThunderCats interviews ever - an exclusive interview with the legendary Earle Hyman!
To give you an indication of how rare and exclusive this interview is, when Warner Bros put together the special features for their DVD releases of ThunderCats they were unable to secure an interview with Mr. Hyman, and indeed for a while there were even rumours circulating on the Internet that he had passed away. Well, fortunately this is not the case, and ThunderCats Lair is enormously grateful to Mr. Hyman for taking the time out of his busy acting schedule to take the time to speak to Nick and give such an extensive insight into his life, career, and of course his work on ThunderCats!
On behalf of all of us at ThunderCats Lair, thank you for all the support you've shown to the site this year, and we wish you all a very Happy Holidays!
Yep, it's hard to believe, but on this day in 2005, this website was launched! It's amazing to think that three years have gone by since then - all of us on the team are very proud of what we've been able to bring to all you ThunderCats fans, and, more than that, we are so grateful to all of you for your support of this site. Thank you so much!
As you all probably aware, one of the major new additions to this site over the past year has been our exclusive audio interviews, put together by Nick Mills for display on this site. Well, to celebrate our 3rd Anniversary, Nick has put together a teaser for the next upcoming interview!
I expect you're wondering who the teaser is of? Well, we'll let that be a surprise - but, suffice to say that it's one that ThunderCats fans have been wanting to hear for a very long time, but that even Warner Bros were unsuccessful in securing for their ThunderCats DVD special features! Who could it be? Download the teaser to find out!
Don't forget that the full interview will be coming out on December 19th - our special Christmas present to all of you! We hope to have some more great material coming soon as well, so keep checking back for more updates!
Once again, our heartfelt thanks to you all for all the support over the past three years!
