Super7 is relying on crowdfunding to make sure that the next supersized ThunderCats Ultimates playset gets made. Between now and September 17th, ThunderCats fans will have the opportunity to fund a 36.7″ tall Cats’ Lair playset.
The Cats’ Lair retains a few of the same elements from the ’80s LJN playset while adding loads of new details and features. Thrill features like … chairs! Oh, the eyes and ThunderCats symbol light up, too.
OK, this thing is made more for displayin’ than playin’. It’s all good, though, because there’s no way I’d let a child play with this $650 collectible.
As of right now, the campaign features two stretch goals and one “early funding bonus” item. If you back the Cats’ Lair right now and the initial funding goal is met, you’ll receive a replica of the Key To Thundera.
The number of backers at the time of writing this sits at 848, with 3,000 needed to start production. The stretch goals will be met once 4K and 5K people have pledged their money.
The two tiers include an Astral Project Lion-O Ultimates figure and a laboratory set. Not exactly exciting stuff.
“Bring Third Earth into your home with this epic crowdfund! In collaboration with our friends the Berbils, our crack design team has created a monumental ThunderCats™ ULTIMATES! Cats’ Lair playset! At over 36″ tall, 33.5″ deep when open, and 53″ wide when open, this mighty fortress is sized to accommodate your 7″ scale ULTIMATES! Figures. It’s chock-full of hidden defense weapons, has special lighting effects, and unfolds to reveal a command center, removable control pods, the ThunderTank maintenance hangar, a hidden weapons room, and so much more! You’d have to travel to Third Earth to find anything close to rivaling this mighty ThunderCats fortress- save the time and expense of interstellar travel by funding this playset and all the extras, and bring the ThunderCats home!”
The Cats’ Lair will come with the following:
- 2x Paw turrets
- 2x Control pods
- 3x Control pod screens (double-sided)
- 5x ThunderTank maintenance tools
- 1x Council table
- 7x Council chairs
- 1x Computer chair
- 5x Computer screens
As I speculated in our previous ThunderCats Ultimate story, there was nowhere else for the series to go since most of the characters had been produced.
