This is a great site, I was always big fan of the cartoon, and after 30 years I finally was able to get some of the original figures, but at the same time I was disappointed by the lack of articulation and designs of the figures (In comparison with the original GIJoe action figures). Now that new classic figures are coming I’m really looking forward for the designs looking more similar to the original cartoon. :liono
You’re welcome! If you’re into the figures, you’re definitely in the right place. There’s lots of fellow collectors here and the team at TCL have done a wonderful job covering the merchandise and providing a place for collectors to come together to show/talk about their collections, too!
Sorry about the late response - spammers are keeping me hoppin’ around here lol
Hmm, my three favorite eps would probably be:
The Mountain - even though all the main characters aren’t in it, I thought it was pretty good storywise.
The Thunderscope - Lion-O was almost wiped out. That’s pretty impressive. Hard to choose between this one and The Last Day with the super charged Mumm-Ra.
Exodus - the start of the story, so you gotta love it.
[FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3]My Thundercats Top 3 episodes are:[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3]Safari Joe.[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3]Great new character introduction with the main focus to show up his ability to hunt, great self confidence, planning ability and determination. At the end the Thundercats wins the battle, but after a hard difficult time with Safari Joe. I also loved the motto of “Safari Joe does it again” :p[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3][/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3]Monkian’s Bergain.[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3]Another great push for one of my favorite characters. The fact that too much power can blind the mind of anyone is true, especially if you give the power to a hungry fellow that was always treated like second rate villain.[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3][/SIZE][/FONT] [SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri]Lion-O’s Anointment Fourth Day: The Trial of Mind Power[/FONT][/SIZE]
[FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3]Ones again this is another episode that show you that with perseverance you can attain any goal you put your mind in. Lion-O accomplishments for defeating his fellow Thundercats made him the lord of the Thundercats.[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3]And now Purrsia tell me about your top 3 characters from the 3rd planet (non thundercats or Mutants).[/SIZE][/FONT]
Well I guess that means I can pick Mumm-Ra Pretty awesome as villains go and what a great backstory he can be given as we assume he’s an Egyptian mummy.
The warrior maidens as a group are interesting…where are those warrior men?? I actually like Nayda better than Willa though.
Tashe was pretty interesting, especially with the comics’ take that she’s Mumm-Ra’s sister.
Well, those are great picks, but for me we have the following characters:
Grune the Destroyer: He was a former Thundercat, and he was very well known for his path of destruction on the 3th earth. There is something I like, and thats his attitude, very decided kind of person, no matter who he has to confront to get his goal.
Mongor: That was a great character, too bad he was used only ones. Another great all guts villian with interesting powers, the power to create fear in others to make him more powerfull, that was a great new concept.
Willa: I think she was the one that appeared in more episodes, great character with great amount of guts to challege everyone in her path.
Hate to break it to you Purrsia, but in the comics, they make Tashi out to be Aztec, not Eygyptian and not Mumm-ra’s sister. It was in the episode “Doomgaze” where Tashi refers to Mumm-ra as “brother”.
Ugh, I feel so geekish for posting this. I was hoping for someone else to pick up on this. In the comics “Thundercats Origins: Heroes and Villains”, it was after she was dead when Mumm-ra summoned her. She gained her Doomgaze powers from the Ancient Spirits of Evil disguised as Aztec Gods when she was alive.
Queen , I’m talking about the marvel comics. She was said to be his sister in those Fresh in my mind given that I’ve been scanning them. (by contrast, I’m pretty sure the episode leaves out any familial relationship between them). I haven’t touched the wildstorm issues in years and kinda forgot about their take on it though, so thanks for bringing that up. Interesting indeed. Stuff like this is kinda why I like to consider each comic run and the series separate canons.
Roadpigjohn - ugh I forgot about Grune! Love him Good pick.
As for Lunies, I like them in order of Aluro, Chilla and TugMug
Luna was also very interesting as the leader of the gang.
By the way I saw the new video trailer of the new Thundercats, and it looks great. Looking forward to get some of the new figures, as well as watching the new cartoon. :liono:thumbsup:
