Any more word or pics from Jordan on this collection?
Nothing new however I wll try to contact him this week to see if he has more info
Hey Manny,
Anything more from Jordan?
Cheers,
Mark
Chris here…
Snap! I was going to ask the same thing, Mark, although knowing how tied-up MannyC is at the moment I suspected that he hadn’t had time to pursue anything further. Nonetheless, I’d love to see some more, if only to keep up the good momentum vibe that this site has been building up behind it! ![]()
Take care… ![]()
Looks like Jordan is starting to sell this collection. Did he let you know Manny, as I thought we would be hearing about it first. Its only a feliner proof sheet and thunderwings blue print is all thats up right now.
He hasnt contacted me in a while. It may be a good time for me to contact him and offer some incentive ad space on the front page in exchange of being first to know about these pieces
Adam Smith is going for two of those pieces. I am gonna do my best to NOT let him get those. There is also a proof sheet for the Tongue-a -Saurus
I hope he (adam) doesn’t win them as well. The tounge pic is nice. I would love to bid on them but I have a feeling they are going to go way out of my pricerange. I will be putting bids on the top spinner proto, and ravage proto, and maybe the hammerhand thou these I think I can afford. I would love to get the cannon blaster or quick jaws but they will be real expensive as well.
Anyway good luck on those proofs manny they will make sweet additons to your collection
Ok fellows I have secured the one for the Feliner and (drum roll please)…Thunderstrike!!!
I spoke to Jordan and it looks like the employee that has all this has a Mad Bubbler as well…purple one to be exact and he will work on getting pics for me. On a side note and this is for Mark or one of the team members close to Jersey, you may want to look at taking a trip to New Jersey, it looks like he has about 500 pieces of artwork including some original oils. I am looking at flying to New Jersey on the 7th of December for a possible Q&A with Jordan and the employee as well as do some extensive photographing. Exclusive stuff guys and Im almost sure i will be there to see all these pieces
Jordan received an offer last night for one piece for $150 but Jordan said he would sell it for $200 or 2 for 300, I asked him if he could sell me theFeliner as well as Thunderstrike for 300 and he agreed!!!
Wow I can’t believe all this :jaw: That is amazing Manny.
But do you mean actual prototypes toys of the Feliner, Thunderstrike and Mad Bubbler, or is this more artwork?
I have my fingers crossed that it is indeed toys! If it is, that’s another Feliner and only one more would need to surface to prove the rumour that 3 exist is true! ![]()
As far as toys i only received info on the Mad Bubbler, it looks like the employee will keep this one as it is one piece that is one of a kind. The problem with the Mad Bubbler is that the arms are broken so he will try to glue them. Jordan is going to try to get me some pictures. As far as Feliner and Thunderstrike I believe it is only the artwork, oh and by the way he also has informed me that there is some Berzerkers prototypes that never even made it to the catalogs and he has those as well, he basically said that is is just unbelieveable stuff. Also he has blueprints of some of the unproduced prototypes. Like i said I wll be there on the 7th to see some of this stuff. More to come…
mark I have given him a heads up once again about you collecting art work. It looks like this awesome find is more artwork related. He also said there were some sort of clear laminations that came from Lorimar. If any of the guys can make it on the 7th we can share the hotel room costs and car costs. Its a once in a lifetime thing so I would suggest start saving ![]()
wow manny that is fantastic news. Congrats. I cant believe we actually might be able to see a mad bubbler finally
Fingers crossed. Matt just curioous why dont you take a day off or go in the weekend and meet me up at Westwood, NJ. Only problem is that it is a 5-6 hour drive. However you will be able to see prototypes first hand and perhaps the biggest find of Art/toys in Thundercats history.
I’l be there from the 7th to the 9th and you can stay in the hotel Im staying in just to cut on costs.
Chris here…
Just got back from playing on a radio show (most nerve-wracking thing I’ve done in years - I’m shattered!!), but just wanted to chip in with my $0.02 and say how awesome this stuff is all sounding! I’m assuming, MannyC, that the stuff you’ve been able to buy (i.e., the Feliner artwork, etc.) will be able to be displayed on this site? ![]()
I have to say it’s all coming together nicely for TCL, I couldn’t be more pleased - awesome stuff, guys, let’s keep the momentum going! ![]()
Take care… ![]()
Oh its gonna be displayed. I had to get it before Adam got a hold of them. Anyways it looks like Jordan is all up for some Q&A with him and the LJN employee and its almost a definite that i will be going to the showroom to see this huge find. It seems like there is tons of art work as well as many prototypes and i will take many many pictures of everything.
Brings me to my next point and that is that I will need some help as far as questions. This will be my first interview and i really cant think of many things to ask except the usual toy questions.
If you guys have any questions to ask the LJN employee feel free to post them. Also I havent promised anything to Jordan but I think that it will be more than fair to give him so free advertising via the front page on the auctions he will hold for Thundercats items, its only fair I think.
Guys December is going to rock!!! I know I havent contributed much as of late but I think this will greatly make up for it. If its as good as i think, TCL will make headlines in the Thundercats toy colecting community and there will definitely be no other place to go to for toys.
Mark and Matt let me know if you all would like to meet up in New Jersey, this is just a one time thing and will never ever happen again I guarantee that
Chris here…
Awesome, amazing, fantastic stuff, MannyC!! ![]()
Well, the toys aren’t really my field of expertise, but if you get stuck and need some help I’d be happy to put my thinking cap on - LMK! ![]()
For this I’d say you need to speak to MannyF as IMO this decision would ultimately rest with him, but FWIW I see no harm in this whatsoever, I think it’s not only fair if he’s willing to give TCL access to exclusive info and content (i.e., the rights to display pics of this exclusive stuff on this site), but it also works as a good “bargaining chip” for gaining permission to host this stuff - I’d give it my ringing endorsement! ![]()
I definitely agree - wouldn’t it be great if we could get some of this stuff online to coincide with this site’s 2nd Anniversary?! ![]()
Well, I’d have said we meet this criteria already!
However, the more info you guys are able to lay your hands on the more we can cement that position - with this (and perhaps launching the mini-figures subsection as well?), I think TCL will stand as the one-stop place for ThunderCats toy info, the best any site would be able to do would be to copy us! ![]()
I wish I were able to fly over, but sadly won’t be able to - this sounds like THE ThunderCats event of the century! You guys will have to post up lots of pictures! ![]()
Take care… ![]()
If everything works out well my intention is to post it around the 2nd Anniversary. I might need some extra helep to get it up due to the fact that I will have to submit some school papers ahead of time on top of putting everything together for December. I will also be in Germany for most of December which brings me to my next point. Maybe i will take a very short trip to the UK ![]()
When all this comes together I will need as much help as i can get to put it together for the anniversary. Im expecting a lot of pictures (if indeed it is 500+ items he has) and even if i were to take a fraction of all of it it is still going to be tons of material to add. Perhaps we can add it in spurts giving the website mini updates throughout the weeks coming.
Also any interviews I do will have to be added as well. It sure seems like it will be the biggest toy update in a long while!!!
Chris here…
Wow, that would be awesome if you were able to make it over here in December, MannyC - we’d have to try and sort a meet-up somehow!! ![]()
At the present time I’m up to my eyes in it with the Cartoon Section, but if you need any help getting this stuff online, if it’s not too complicated you never know, I may be able to help - if it comes down to having to do mini-updates I think that would also work very well and would give folks an incentive to keep checking back to this site! ![]()
Take care… ![]()
Manny, great news and well done on scoring that stuff out from under Adam. Be forewarned though that he’ll be scrambling hard to buy stuff from Jordan now. He’s very persistent.
I could do a trip to NJ but I’d really need to know what kind of artwork we’re talking about here. And what is the art of? Is it concept art for the show? Or is it more toy related?
I’m interested whatever it is. Something to consider though is once we’re there though they’ll have the advantage on any price negotiations.
I also have been comtemplating going to nj. I have to see if I can get the weekend off, and how much things are to get there etc. I will let you know in a week or so manny
Hey Mark if you can call Jordan you may be able to get more info in regards to art pieces and stuff. I already mentioned your name so he will know when you call. Just let him know that you know me and that you work on the website as the animation art expert.
Jordan told me that he received an offer 2 days ago for the stuff that was on Ebay so my bts guess is that it was Aadam. When i told Jordan i would buy the items he didnt hesitate to end the auctions. I think right now we have a great bargaining chip with him with the website. He could use advertisement.
It’s definitely worth a try to call as i am almost sure there is some animation art in all the 500 pieces he has and if not for that just to simply check it out.
Matt and Mark as far as staying somewhere you guys can crash wherever I stay, its only for a couple of days so it wont be bad, plus i will have my car there as well so it wont be too costly for all of us.
