Bandai Picked as Global Master Toy Licensee for Thundercats

Warner Bros. Consumer Products (WBCP) has appointed Bandai America Incorporated as the global master toy licensee for the animated series Thundercats. Bandai will create and distribute products worldwide to complement the original brand property, as well as a new animated series, set to air on Cartoon Network in 2011.

The new Thundercats, based on the series that first aired in 1985, is executive produced by Sam Register (Teen Titans, Ben 10, Batman: The Brave and the Bold), and is being called a “21st century re-imagining of the original.” Michael Jelenic (Batman: The Brave and the Bold, Wonder Woman) and Ethan Spaulding (Avatar: The Last Airbender) are the producers. Warner Bros. Animation and Studio4°C are developing the series, which is currently in production.
