No new info in the past few days however I will contact Jordan next week for more info and to confirm the visit on the 7th. I am almost certain that there will be tons of animation art. Reason i say this is due to a pic that was posted by Jordan on the TNI forums
The link below links to his folder with some stuff in it
…is original artwork or a repro? There were quite a few of those types of artwork sheets, I believe they were sent out to licensees - I have a page of some of them waiting to go online with the next Cartoon Section update, from the collection of Rankin-Bass historian Rick Goldschmidt:
With Hollywood Heroes reputation my best bet is that it is original. Jordan is well respected in the collecting community and so i dont think he would sell repros
Just curious to see if anyone here is going to bid on the stuff Jordan has up for sale right now. Im looking at bidding on the talking panthro (its one of 2 in existence, and the bowcaster drawing). Let me know as I have a certain price for these in mind and I just want to know if im going to be out bid or what. I figure if we work together on this then we can not get in bidding wars and drive prices higher
I’d like to go for the bowcaster but its only xeroxed copy, I do have an idea for personal purposes and that is to have those pieces made into photograph paper. Its cheaper and it looks nicer
I have actually photoshopped some of the pieces including Red Eye and the other concept sheets. I will make those look better than the sheets they are selling since i will be having them made on photo paper. The Red Eye will look sweet. If anybody is interested in photo copies shoot me a PM and i can make it happen.However this is for personal use only and is to not be sold in the future
Manny, I am going to head to New Jersey on the 7th and will be hoping to pick up some cels and original art. How can I contact Jordan? I want to chat with him quickly to make sure this will be worth the visit and that he’ll have all the art available for me to look at.
Could you tell me your plans again? Where will you be staying? Could I get the address of the hotel that you have in mind, and their phone #? Have you already booked a room?
The plans for me to go have fallen thru and I was informed by him several weeks ago that he will have to re-schedule the visit. The hours at Hollywood Heroes are by appointment only and i believe he will be gone during that week. Youre more than welcomed to contact him via his website contact page, I beleive jordan@hollywoodheroes.com and see what he says.
I think he will not be there during that weekend but its worth at try
Allright…well theres not much of good news. Looks like Tomart’s got first dibs on these pictures however Jordan will send me osme more and he said we can use them accordingly. On a side note I am kind of mad that he sold the Berzerker prototypes before letting me know. They sold for $1500 a piece :x
He will send me professional photos of them very soon to use on the website
that totally sucks. I would have bought one (i would have just waited longer to get a new car). Hopefully I can get the top spinner to go with my moc variations
Well lets just say that the same person that brokered this huge collection actually has a Mad Bubbler. Jordan is trying to see what he can do for us in terms of pictures. Im working on it guys I really am and if I nail this one it would be THE biggest story ever in ThunderCats collecting circles.
Think about it if we get the first ever pictures of the elusive Mad Bubbler.
Yeah thats what got me pissed that he didnt notify me first cause i wouldve gotten one of them at least and wouldve paid slightly more than $1500
The client is looking at getting around 700-800 for the prototype Fistpounder Rough Rider. Im praying these Bubbler pics come through, it will be THE best news ever in the Thundercats collecting community
More pics from Jordan, looks like LJN intended to make another character named “Sludge”??? If anybody recognizes the character from the top as well as the vehicle please post. Im hoping we can have an answer as to the character and vehicle. If there is anyone on the team interested in any of this stuff either the Driller blueprint or other stuff dont hesitate to contact Jordan. He also takes offers outside of Ebay so long as they are within his clients asking price
