Panthor Coming To MOTU Origins ThunderCats Line

With the full set of Wave 1 and Wave 2 MOTU Origins ThunderCats figures making their official debut at Toy Fair 2025, we are looking to toward the future. While we saw an incredible hybrid of both Masters of the Universe and ThunderCats figures revealed, the first wave of MOTU Origins ThunderCats Crossover figures include, Skell-Ra, Lion-O, Cheetara, and Battle-Cat Man. We recently saw the carded images for Wave 1 as Roy Juarez revealed them in a stunning 360 video that also showed off some of the amazing art panels that were used to create these masterpieces, which teased Beast Man and Trap Jaw. Given the line is so new and we only know about what we’ve seen revealed, we are pretty sure that those figures will be making it into plastic but we found some hard evidence that another major figure will be joining the line. Panthor will be coming to the MOTU Origins ThunderCats line and we hope to see this figure revealed at San Diego Comic Con 2025. While we do not have any official images, we are featuring a MOTU Origins ThunderCats Panthor concept by Richard.

Panthor

Panthor is Skeletor’s loyal feline companion in the Masters of the Universe franchise, serving as an evil counterpart to He-Man’s Battle Cat. First released as a toy in 1984, Panthor shared the same mold as Battle Cat but was distinguished by a deep purple color and a soft, flocked texture. Over the years, Panthor has been re-released with various design changes, including new armor, helmets, and both flocked and unflocked versions.

Figure Designs For Inspiration

Panthor is all decked out with his helmet and saddle armor. You can see it has incredible detail with all the spikes and hammered metal like finish. You can armor him all up with face armor and on his saddle. We could totally see a MOTU ThunderCats version using armor style as an inspiration for the figure.

Panthor Concept

Using a mashup of an Origins Beast Man mixed with Mythic Legions tribute figure Purrrplor, Planetarydogtoys feet and helmet, Richard created this stellar looking Panthor MOTU Origins ThunderCats concept, that integrated inspiration from many of the previously released Panthor figure designs.

The helmet is removeable, as we expect the actual production figure to look, and you can see how great the figure looks with the oversized armor from the Mythic Legions Purrrplor figure.
