The TV premiere date for popular Taiwanese puppet series ThunderForce has finally been set for Saturday, February 4th at 8 p.m. ET, PT on Cartoon Network's Toonami block.  The series, to be titled Wulin Warriors:  Legend of the Seven Stars here, was originally scheduled to premiere for last fall (see 'Wulin Warriors Coming to Toonami').

 

The series stars three warriors chosen as children to train with the Sensei Oracle, who end up on a journey in search of the Seven Stars, lost agents of order, to save the world. 

 

Terry Kalagian, VP Acquisitions and Co-Productions for Cartoon Network, provided the high concept description.  Calling it a 'combination of eastern action and western comedy,' Kalagian said of the show, 'It's like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon with a teen attitude.' 

 

Presumably now that the show is hitting the small screen, DVDs and other merchandise will soon follow.
