Hello, my name is David and I’m a child of the 80s & 90s. Like many here that are from the UK, Me and my brother started watching Thundercats in 1987 or 88, and the Xmas after that we got a few toys from the show. Below is what we had, I also had a Lion-O belt but I can’t seem to find a pic of it on the net. http://img692.imageshack.us/img692/3528/whatwehad.jpg
Anyway, I was up in the attic searching for something for my Mum, when I found a few toys from the mid 80s to early 90s, which included Lion-O and the Luna Lasher (which I’ve always thought was from He-Man, silly me.) A bit more searching and I found the accessories for Lion-O and nothing else. Over the coming months I’m gonna try and get replacements for my missing stuff and get some of the stuff I didn’t have but really wanted as a kid, like Panthro, Snarf and the Sword of Omens. I’ll post updated pics when I do.
I’m trying to find a Thundertank, but they nearly all have missing doors and tracks, now I can understand that the doors would break off, but why did so many kids take the tracks off?
Anyway I just won THIS on the Bay that is e. A nice little kick start for my collection I think.
Except for Lion-O on the right, these just came from eBay. There are only a few things missing or broken.

[li]The black Mumm-Ra sword has half of the handle snapped off.
[/li][li]The chain from Monkians weapon is missing. I found a bit of chain that works well.
[/li][li]The Thunderwings doesn’t always work when you press the button.
[/li][li]The light up eyes doesn’t work in my new Lion-O and has no Power Ring.
[/li][li]I’m missing the Knuckleduster for Grune, and the action feature is a bit loose

I think I got a good deal at only £42.38. (£5.30 each for the 8 items)
The eyes on the Lion-O with ThunderWings looks different. Is that an actual ThunderWings Lion-O, or is it an optical illusion from lighting or something?
I’m not that lucky. The Orange is darker, and the eyes are whiter on the Lion-O in the Thunderwing. The Lion-O from my childhood is probably just faded from being up in the attic for so many years, or something. The sword hands are a bit different between the two. http://img294.imageshack.us/img294/4124/monkianchain.jpg
The Thunderwings Lion-o figure has no “Batle mattic” lever and does not have the light up eyes function. The entire eyes are repainted. This is the main difference.
