8 back Mumm Ra - a few observations

I have noticed some characteristics of 8 Back Mumm Ra That i thought I would share.

  1. Pauly, Lordore and Myself all have [COLOR=“Red”]Unpunched 8 back Mumm Ra’s.
  2. None of the three have a sticker on the blister/bubble identifying the figure inside.

I am new to these forums and new to Thundercats collecting but this seems very strange to me. I have read how a ton of Series 3 figures got dumped onto the UK market in 1998-99…did something similar happen with a case of Mumm Ra’s? thats the only thing i can figure, is that these figures showed up after Thundercats had already become a collectible (been discontinued from store shelfs) that would explain why none of them are punched. Interested to know anyone else’s theories

Also of interest - there are more graded 8 Back Mumm-Ra’s than any other 8 Back figure, with - 1@85, 6@80, 2@75, 2@70 and 2@60 (this doesn’t account for UK graded figures)

you make a good point here. he is the only graded figure I have without the name sticker, never really noticed until now. Also I checked with the Graders and mine is the only 1 at 80% they have registered at UKG. :thumbsup:

Mine will go this next month, I see either an AFA80 with high sub-grades or an AFA85 straight across

Well if I remember correctly yours looks better than mine so I’d say 85.

Definitely nicer than mine. My bubble has slightly yellowed and has a crease in the bottom corner of the Card. Yours is an easy 85 in my opinion.

A solid 85!! Subgrades:85,85,85. You’ve hit the jackpot man with this Mumm-ra. Exsellent piece!

I sure would like a AFA90 somewhere in there

BOOM!! Amazing condition.
That’s the same as the one I had that turned out to have been tampered with. I was gutted!!

Not sure if I am understanding very well about the name sticker but the Mumm-Ra name is already written directly on the card, it is why at my eyes none of them got a name Sticker on the bubble.

I am wrong?

And that could very well be why Mumm-Ra and Lion-O did not recieve bubble stickers, however, in the later series, they did get stickers on the cards…

Wow…that really irk me!

The Energizer will head to AFA next month with an 8 Back Monkian

Hey man, this is an amazing find, you are sitting on a goldmine with all these valuable pieces!!

I really hope your other Mumm-ra gets an AFA 90 man

Take care

I know its probably wishful thinking but it would be nice! Did your package arrive yet?

Nope, i hope next week man
