Thundercats Are Loose!!!

Thundercats Hoooooooooooo!

So here's the thing I'm a big fan of pretty much any 80s property/character that I find even remotely nostalgic.  Its an addiction.  But while I have strong feelings for GI Joe, and He-Man, and Super Powers my heart definitely belongs to Thundercats. 

The beast of it is I didn't actually have very many of them as a kid.  Lion-O (w/ Snarf), Mumm-Ra, and Slythe pretty much summed up my collection.  It wasn't until my young adult years that I finally had the whole team.  Tonight we're just going to cover the main cast though as they debuted back in good 'ol 1985. 
Now let's introduce the team!

Lion-O

Cheetara

Panthro

Tygra

Jaga

Wily Kit

Wily Kat

And lastly the Thundercats Miniatures from KidWorkz.

 

Indiana Jones and the Kenner Collection

Possibly the most underrated 80s toyline Kenner's The Adventures of Indiana Jones series is notable for being short lived but action packed. Where as Kenner's Star Wars figures were standard 5-Pointers (as in 5 points of articulation) the Indy figures also featured hinge-joint knees similar to the Butch and Sundance line some years prior.  Another point of interest is the inclusion of soft-goods on several of the figures. Additionally all three Indys as well as the German Mechanic have a spring loaded quick draw/punch action feature in their right arms.  Kenner would later perfect this concept with their Super Powers series based on characters appearing in DC Comics.

The Batmobile, Super Powers Collection

If you're going to get one vehicle from the Super Powers line make it the Batmobile!

General Lando and Nien Nunb (and friends)

Lando Calrissian (General Pilot) , Kenner, 1984

I been looking for a good mint/complete POTF General Lando for a while and finally ended up purchasing a carded one for around the same price they were going for loose.  Of course he had to be liberated.

 And, yes, he still has that new toy smell.

Wicket W. Warrick, Kenner, 1984
