But the hunt for me lies in the Mad Bubbler, which I desperately need! But the toughest and most expensive pieces are the carded gift set packages of Lion-O with Thunderwings and Mumm-Ra with Luna Lasher. These would be the Cats Lair, the Monster, Jaga and Ben Gali. Collectors are often still searching for the toughest pieces for their collection. Most action figure collectors find this line to be one of the best to collect. Many other unproduced pieces were pictured and slated, and were never released. Unproduced ships and vehicles included the Feliner, Luna Tacker & Thunderstrike. It is probable that the Lunatacs team was also being in pre production, but no one is sure due to the lack of LJN prototypes. The unproduced figures were Red Eye of Lunatacs and two more Beserkers. These unproduced prototypes were so close to production, that they were featured in catalogs inserts with the toys. One of the most interesting things about this line is that it was cancelled to early, and LJN had planned many more figures and piece to be produced. Eraser, Cake Figurines and more were also produced, keeping a collector busy hunting for quite awhile. Burrger King also ran a Kid's Meal which featured various Thundercats pieces.
#Thundercats names series
A 2" series of figures was produced with playsets. Other toys and items were also produced with the 5" series. The toughest and most desired pieces are the Cats Lair, and the 2 monsters of the Astral Moat Monster and Tounge-A-Saurus. There are also 2 other ships called Shuttle Guns that PlayFul created that never appeared in the show. Most of the other ships appeared in the series while others were created by LJN.
Of these, the most famous pieces are the Thundertank and the Cat Lair. LJN produced 2 playsets, 6 vehicles, 6 accessories & 2 monsters. To accompany such a vast action figure line was many vehicles, accessories and monsters. Other figures had options of spinning or lighting up. Almost every figure had a "Battle-Mattic" action which was a lever in the back which when pressed, the figure would move their arm. LJN did not hold back on their extreme detail of sculpting, allowing each figure to look exactly like the character from the show. These characters are Jaga, Ben Gali, Pumyra and Lynx-o.Įach figure was jointed at the neck, arms and legs. The most demanded figures to collectors are the ones from the last series. This would include the Beserkers, Rampagers and even Safari Joe. Many of the characters who appeared only a few episodes were also produced. This would include the honorable Thundercats team to the vile Mutants and Mumm-Ra. All cast characters of both good and evil were produced. LJN produced 3 main series of figures, with many side action figure series with a total of 37 different figures.
The figures stood at a average of 5" tall and well represented each character from the series. This show was close but quite different than He-Man and still remains a favorite amongst eighties nostalgic's.įollowing up the 130 episodes was a incredible line of toys produced by LJN. A cartoon which contained futuristic technology and alien worlds, merged with the fantasy of ancient evil and monsters. Thundercats was one of the biggest hit cartoons of the eighties.
