The ThunDerianRoyalGuard Collection

Thanks, buddy! I just scanned the 7 drawings, used Photoshop to cut out the blast-effects and put them together with Windows Movie Maker :biggrin

Haha, thanks, buddy! I wasnt planning on starting a channel, but it was the easiest way to share this clip. Now I’ll have to do more video’s, right? :slight_smile:

A side by side with the finished frames would be cool.

I’m gonna do an individual review of every piece of my collection. Dont know when the first one will be up, but I’ll make sure to post it :slight_smile:

Now, this figure. SDCC 2011 Lion-O. What can I say… I’ve always wanted this one, but was not about to pay $100 for it. So I waited. Finally got one, mint & complete in an opened box, for $14. The wash or shading is terrible :roflmao But the stand, vac-metal Swords and metallic paint deco make him kinda cool, I think. Well worth the 5 year wait :slight_smile: And $14.

Very nice addition. I agree although I probably like the figure more than you:)

I also waited quite a while and added an unopened one in a slightly less than mint box for a good deal. It’s something I just had to have in my collection as well!

Wanted this from the first time I saw it and I got one for a very good price :slight_smile: I love the paint apps, although it could be better in some place. The hair could be a bit more cartoon accurate and the black-lined teeth a bit annoying :slight_smile: The “invisible” effect is very nice, the only thing I truly would have changed is the whip. It feels a bit dinky and small. But it still displays nicely!

Got some items to show.. First up; I got this because I am quite surprised they release stuff like this. A lenticular postcard with the, now often used, modern looking Lion-O and a badge with the same Lion-O. Cost me $0.99. Pretty snazzy, 80’s style merch. :slight_smile:

I also got a copy of Toys ‘n’ Playthings, a UK Toy Trade Journal from 1987. I got it because it has a segment dedicated to JotaStar, which briefly mentions their ThunderCats line and a nice image of said products.

And I found a cheap, loose, complete 6" BanDai Lion-O. I read negative reviews on this guy when he came out, but I have to say I think this is a fine figure of a ThunderCat (see what I did there?) The screws in the back dont bother me at all, the only gripe I have is that the extended Sword of Omens is a bit to big or long…

You beat me to the trade magazine. I don’t feel to bad as it’s gone to a great collector. Mainly wanted it to put with my jotastar punch bag. Great collection my friend.
