hey guys… I was wondering if anyone had some information regarding the differences on these two Bengalis.
http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e247/mesepher/bengali.jpg
also, one Bengali1, on his left foot it reads: LJN Toys LTD. (c) 1987 Lorimar-Telepix, LCI T. Wolf along with a number 2 on the same foot. His right foot has a number 1 on it.
Bengali2 has a number 1 on each foot and his right foot reads:
(c) 1987 LJN Toys LTD. Lorimar-Telepix LCI T. Wolf EL
thank for any info you can provide!
I’m not entirely sure on this one to be honest.
The 2nd Bengali might be the Playful version. Your best contacting Andrew. Perhaps send him a pm.
Im puzzled on this one too…the paint is very similar.Andrew would be the best person to answwer this.My opinion would be that one of them is the Playful version.Im still finding out about variations…the latest being clear wings Stinger.I dont know if one Bengali is rarer than the other…keep on looking for those variations though theyre always fun when you find one 
Odd. Bengali 1 looks to have his head molded in blue with the white painted on.
Mine looks like Bengali 2 with the same markings on his feet. The head on mine is molded in white with the blue painted on. Is that how yours is? Mine was on a US card. Opened it myself.
I’m not sure either. I pulled out my Playful Bengali and compared it to the pics and it doesn’t match either of them. Though it looks most like Bengali 2 in the face. But it is not as it is not exact and the Playful Bengali says Playful on the bottom of his right foot. My guess is that it is a variation of the us/uk version, unless one of the other companies that made Thundercats toys made a Bengali, even though I thought that it was just Playful that made them.
hope that helps
Mine looks the same as Bengali #1 and mine is on a Canadian card
Mine looks like Bengali 2 and im certain it isnt a playful version. The playful versions looked more like a Tygra figure. My Bengali was bought in South Africa and as far as I know our figures were on USA cards.
My bengali looks more like bengali 2, however mine has the number 1 on his left foot and number 2 on his right. It has no playfull version markings.
Ummmm…sorry for being in the dark here everyone, but…
What do you all mean by “Playful Bengali” ? “Playful on the foot” ? When Matt said “I pulled out my Playful Bengali” I was like… :shock: :oops: …thats a little weird sounding dude. 
Just wondering what this meant…
(And wanting a Bengali…;)…sort of…I want Lynx~O MUCH more…he looks COOL…was he in the toon ever?)
…cough…and i’d take him in ANY condition by the way…cough cough…

By Playful we are reffering to one of the companies that made Thundercats toys in South America. There is a section of this site that has more info about the various other thundercat toy lines and by playfull on the foot it just means that the company stamped/imprinted there company name on the bottom of the foot

Yes Lynx-o is in the Thundercats cartoon, the only figure that is not is the Stinger (if im not mistaken)
Sorry i cant help you with this fig. BUt there are a few on ebay right now
hope this helps
Hey Matt,
You’re not mistaken…it is true that Stinger was NEVER in any of the cartoons. I believe he was only in one of the comics which I’m not quite sure what issue it was on.
Thanks guys. Now I know…and knowing is half the battle…

… NObody has any Berzerkers for me??..sheeeeeeesh… sniff sniff…guess I’ll go eat worms… 
I’m almost 100% sure that non of them are the Playful version. The hair is different and is lacking one stripe on each side and they’re also thinner. I’m gonna see if I get the time to put up some comparison pics for yall. But in the meantime you’re gonna have to take my word for it. It would be better if you could post full body pics of both your Ben’s since the Playful version is quite different.The two Ben’s I have loose is exactly the same as your 1st Ben. I also have a MOC LJN Ben but he’s stashed away right now so I have to get back on that.
well heres what I have heres a few pics to hopefully clear this up.. I have a carded north american ben-gali, a foreign carded ben-gali, and a loose Playful Bengali. If I have to I can dig out my loose LJN bengali. I apoligize for the pics (my camera is not that good and it doesnt have a flash, if needed I can take more pics, but these should be huge pics to see the differences) hopefully they help clear this up.

Bengali variations
To my fellow vintage variation collectors…
I am in need of some information with regards to my recently purchased Bengali’s. I noticed today that they are slightly different and would like to know more about these variations. Where they come from? How rare are they.
The variations are as follows.

I have compared the figures to the Playful Bengali’s but it does not correspond. Is this perhaps the difference between US/UK Bengali versions? Which one is rarer or more valuable.
Any help and clarification in the matter is greatly appreciated.

Merged Post:
The last post here in 2006 does not complete the debate, as the pictures do not show the differences in comparison. I hope my pictures do?..have you noticed the difference in scale. One larger than the other…Im soooo confused to where each one comes from. Why would they be in different scale?
Can’t view your pics here 
I’m not a member of that other ThunderCats site you uploaded them on, so can’t view them
Can you upload them here?
Apologies. I thought they had copied correctly. Here is the attached pictures.
I think you have one USA/UK Bengali (left of pic 1) and the other is Euro Bengali (right of pic 1). The Hammer is the US/UK version so belongs to that figure.
I am still not clear on this and getting confused..So what you are saying is that the US and UK versions are the same? (Have the EL on bottom of foot?) and the European is the smaller Bengali with no EL under its foot?
This is contradictory to an earlier post stating that EL was the European version…
This is the dilema I am having… there is nothing online other than this discussion to clear the matter. I have been searching for 2 days online…this site is the only site that mentions these variations…
Are their any variation experts out there?
Yeah my Rainbow Toys (UK) Bengali matches the USA version.
This suggestion is based off my UK and German Bengali (which I sold) Both are/were MOC. Can you link to the other thread you mention?
EDIT: Looking back what you have is actually illustrated in Matt’s post above. I believe the Euro Bengali has a bit of play wear though.
