I received quite an exciting e-mail today from SciFiNow Magazine: http://www.scifinow.co.uk/ . These guys are producing an article about ThunderCats and want to involve ThunderCats Lair!
The e-mail was copied to MannyC and me - not sure why Neil was left out of it??
I must confess that when he included a āMannyā in the title and started talking about ThunderCon, I assumed heād also contacted Manny Florendo rather than MannyC - it was only when Iād replied to the e-mail that I realised which Manny he was talking about!
Even though Iām very pushed in my offline life, Iāve nevertheless expressed an interest in getting involved in some capacity, as this could be a HUGE promotional opportunity for ThunderCats Lair - this is a magazine that sells at news stands up and down the UK! I will definitely keep you guys posted how this looks to be shaping up!
Yeah cheers dude for leaving me outā¦ :rolleyes: How and why I donāt know since Iām top of the contact pageā¦
Oh well, hopefully this all works out. The problem is we arenāt involved with ThunderCon, so I do wonder if this was really meant for ThunderCatsNOW? But then Iām not sure they would be able to help with the classic toys and series as much as we can. I mean we have original series art (by Kyle) that they could use, plus many toy images.
Maybe we could do an official poll to find the top 10 Ljn ThunderCats toys as well as the top 10 classic episodes?
Maybe we could ask Val Staples if he has photos of Thunder-Con to donate? Itās in his interest as the magazine will promote the 2013 New York Thunder-Con and may get a few UK/Europe fans interested in attendingā¦
Sorry for taking a few days to check back on this!
I absolutely, 100% agree - completely bizarre! I did mention your name in my reply though!
All excellent suggestions which I completely agree with!
As it stands I havenāt heard back from the guy and havenāt had time to push him on it - if I donāt hear again in a week or so I might give him a nudge, and if I can get a back-and-forth dialogue going with him then I could definitely put forward these ideas and see what he says!
Will keep you posted when and if I hear anything more!
Just to let you guys know that I had an e-mail from Tom earlier today, this has been published and he sent me the PDF files for me to see (no complimentary copies of the magazine like we were promised, even though Tom says he did ask them to send them out).
It all looks good, one minor grumble is that theyāve juggled the top 10 episodes list I sent them, so it now looks like Iām saying that āSnarf Takes Up The Challengeā is the no.1 ThunderCats episode of all time!! :rolleyes:
Iāve only skimmed over the rest of it because Iāve had the week from hell and am really snowed under (see my Facebook for details) but apparently thereās some interesting and juicy stuff in there.
Iāve sent the info over to Neil for the front page (assuming itās newsworthy enough - but I guess it probably is), as Iām really pushed for time, but just to reiterate Neil that if youāre not able to get to it either, Iām more than happy to post it up myself, it will just take me a few days to get to.
