Figures that should have been.

So, what figures would have been if the line continued, or figures you wanted to see produced. There are many that deserved to be made. Here’s my picks:

  1. Office Mandora
  2. Lunatacks
  3. Warrior maidens
  4. Mole Master
  5. Quick-pick
  6. Mumm-rana

Besides the ones you already mentioned, I would have really liked LJN to have done more cartoon accurate resculpts of Lion-O, Mumm-Ra and Cheetara like they did with the second version of Tygra.

If we are not counting the prototypes, you can also add:

Figures: Berbil Bob, Berbil villagers, Unicorn keepers, Unicorns, Tarshee (spelling?), Captain Shiners crew members, Snarfer

Playsets: Living Ooze, Vortex, Castle Plundarr, Berbil village, Warrior Maiden tree top kingdom (which would have been majorly cool!), Tower of Omens

Vehicles: Rat Star, Vultureman’s Flying Machine (which I’d buy in a hearbeat!)

Castle Plundarr and Vultureman’s Flying machine would be very cool. oh and maybe even the whisker!

I would have loved a Castle Plundarr!

The figure I would have liked more than anything though would be a more cartoon accurate Mumm-Ra, with a cape! :slight_smile:

I agree with you on Plundarr! Man, that would have been sweet!

Actually, I think there were plans for a Mumm-Ra with cape… in fact, I saw a photo of it once :wink:

yes there were pics of a mumm-ra with a cape. I have the pics in the 1985 LJN catalog. I will post it hopefully over the next few days. I also think that a castle plundarr would have been super sweet, with having the wings that cover the entrance. Quick pick would have been a cool one, I also think the Berserkers ship would have been neat. and safari Joes side kick M.U.L.E would have been cool, and finally I think the astral world playset, pumm-ra, and that shark beast with the legs

oh yeah, the Berserkers ship would be sweet! But, a Tower of Omens playset would be even sweeter.

This is a figure that SHOULD have been made…

Wow already at $90! Not bad for a cast of the original. Looks like I might have to break out my molding stuff and make one for myself.

Have to say that I would have welcomed any additional figures, vehicles or playsets. Really wanted an Inflamer…he was a cool looking character 8)

Which Thundercats figure do you wish they had made?

My vote goes for Mandora.

Not sure whom made this custom but looks great!

I would have liked to have seen a Jagara figure, complete with gyroscope. :slight_smile:

Topic already being discussed here: http://www.thundercatslair.org/forums/showthread.php?t=1175

Woops,:duh: thanks for combining the thread!

I would have liked to see that one villian, I think his name was ‘The Demolisher’…?

Mandora, Quick Pick, Willa, etc…would have definitely been cool to see.

I know this sounds ridiculous, but maybe a Living Ooze slime pit. https://thundercats.fandom.com/wiki/Living_Ooze

God that Thunderstrike prototype looks so cool. It would have been great to get that.

Anyways, my list of figures that I would have loved to have back in the day:

  1. Mandora = The biggest TCat ally that didn’t get a toy
  2. The Lunatacs = The only main characters to not get toys and sadly, only Red Eye was even in development. And I’m also picturing what a Sky Tomb playset might have been like
  3. The Demolisher = One of the bigger one off guest spot villains to not get one.
  4. The Rat Star = It made enough appearances in the show that I can’t help but feel like maybe a toy was at least planned.
  5. Willa = The Warrior Maidens were such a big deal in season 1, I’m surprised they didn’t get figures.
  6. Snow Meow = Give Snowman his stead…come on!
  7. The Technopede = The Astral Moat Monster got a toy, but not this thing? Come on! lol
  8. The Plundarrian Warbot = Again, how could would this thing have been?
  9. Vultureman’s Flying Machine = Its amazing to me how the non-toy elements of the show look so toyetic anyway
  10. Pumm-Ra = Mumm-Ra’s most famous disguise…it would have been interesting to see as one of the classic figures.
