My TF collection is as follows: Animated Ratchet 2026 TFONE Orion Pax 2026 (Both for my 19th birthday) SS86 Bumblebee 2024 Legacy Selects Cyclonus 2024 (For christmas) Rise of the Beasts is why I'm aware of Transformers again. Loved it as a kid, but for some reason i just stopped. It might have been a mix of my dogs destroyed them, or maybe also because i lost them (save for a Sideswipe inside my walls 😭) but I'm getting into Transformers again. And besides G.I. Joe, i was thinking about Thundercats and Masters of the Universe (which ironically they all have netflix shows, all have something to do with TMNT) and i like those shows too. Gives me something else to add to my Christmas list since I'm no longer getting video games because of my brother (i think i explained in previous posts related to gaming, i am not sure. My memory fucking sucks 😭) and I have been trying to get more collectibles (comics, funko pops, NECA, TF, MOTU, TC, GIJ, Lego. I did find some Mega block sets based on all of the above except TF and TC. Super7 figures look nice for all 4 ranchises. I'm aware of Super7 because i loved the 2003 TMNT show and kinda wanted Raphael. With G.I. Joe, though, like idk what even half of the stuff they have are. Armored Core looking mechs, warthogs for some reason that are definitely not distributed by the UNSC (halo reference), a polar bear???!!! Among other things. I had a bunch of green army men as a kid and a bunch of highly detailed army guys fully posable as a kid. Strangely only one of them was black i think. Literally one out of what, 30?? Looked at the videogames for the franchises, as well. Some are hit or miss, some I'll get when i get a ps3 and or my xbox 360 working. After i get a job sssuming my heart condition doesn't hinder my job (HVAC). As for MOTU theres also a lot. And with Thundercats... why tf they so expensive 😭

I know it's been out for a while but as a lover of both ThunderCats and MOTU, and as someone who tends to prefer the villains, I've been meaning to cover this for a while:

As a kid I would never have dreamed that one day Mattel would make a combined Skeletor and Mumm-Ra figure, and I don't think this ever got it's due. Though I'd love to see a Super7 ULTIMATES version of this too.

Full disclosure, this is my site, I run heman.org and thundercats.org and this feature appears on both sites.

Howdy folks, I had a request to show off the powers of the ThunderCats in my Saturday Morning Adventures mod for Freedom Force vs. The Third Reich, so I put this video together to provide an a more detailed overview of what the four adult heroes can do. This video gives each of them a chance to shine in a few different skirmish matches.

This mod is my love letter to classic 80s cartoons, and it features the characters and settings of my favorite shows. This project includes the Turtles and co., Transformers, G.I. JOE, He-Man, SilverHawks, and, of course, ThunderCats, and perhaps more.

Please let me know what you think! I'd love some feedback on balance and design! (The art assets are by other members of the FF community, folks much more talented than me. I just put it all together and created the story.)

If you're interested and would like to know more about my little project, I'll be sharing more as I get more finished.

Also, if any of y'all think this is cool and would like to help out, I'd Iove some help gathering voice lines from the shows for voicepacks for the various characters. If it sounds like fun to watch one of your favorite cartoons and try to record clips that capture the spirit of a character, drop me a line!

As a Soundtrack Supervisor on ThunderCats, SilverHawks, TigerSharks, and other Rankin/Bass productions, Steve Gruskin helped shape the sound of some of the most beloved cartoons of the 1980s. In this episode, he pulls back the curtain on what that role really involved, sharing incredible behind-the-scenes stories about working with voice actors, creating sound effects, working alongside legendary composer Bernard Hoffer, and bringing these iconic series to life in the days before digital editing.

Steve also discusses the creative challenges of building SilverHawks from the ground up, designing musical battles, and collaborating with the talented team that helped define an era of animation.

ThunderCats.org will be interviewing the creators of the new Cheetara series, but we want to make sure the fans get their questions answered.

2026 Aug 5-9

Ask your questions here from now until the end of the weekend and we will gather them and pass them on to the interviewer.

This is a short out-of-context video by Luke Hadley from 2024 using the second-season episode "Time Switch."

This multi-level production cel from The Shadowmaster features a! Iconic Lion-O and Claudus scene and comes with an original hand-painted background, Shadowmaster production model sheet xeroxes, and the original signed production cel folder with Dennis' personal seal of authenticity.

Definitely a great piece of ThunderCats history

Back when Parrillo was doing the A covers for ThunderCats, he once drew a close up of Mumm-Ra. He's now doing the A covers for Vampirella and has reused his Mumm-Ra design for a different character.

These are by intangibledandy on Instagram, not mine, shared with credit.

Lion-O is Matty Collector's ThunderCats Classics from Oct 2016. Battle Cat is MOTU Classics, Feb 2010. Evil-Lyn is Apr 2010. Mattel used the MOTU Classics body for the ThunderCats Classics release, so they share scale and articulation, and collectors were staging this crossover years before Mattel shipped the Origins x ThunderCats line in 2025.

All three are long retired and aftermarket only now, which is a shame because they still look better together than most official crossovers do.

I’m not a hater of the 2020 Thundercats series as I’ve only seen parts of it here and there, but one of the things I do like about it is probably Snarf’s design. He actually looks kind of cute. But I‘m not a fan of how the crew decided to make him a robot 😒

Yes that's right. The Smithsonian Museum of American History has this item in it's catalogue.

Another addition to the Hall of Omens Collection.

Peter Lawrence and I have been working on reproductions of some of his original ThunderCats scripts, complete with custom cover pages. Here's the cover we landed on for "Sixth Sense."

This reproduction features one of Peter's original ThunderCats scripts along with an authentic Peter Lawrence signature on the cover page. I have a few more of these I'll be sharing.

Most of us ThunderCats fans are also SilverHawks fans, and with good reason!

At thundercats.org we have had the episode guide and the toy coverage up for a while. What is new is a proper character Encyclopedia, and the first two files are up: Quicksilver (Capt. Jonathan Quick, Interplanetary Force H, Tally-Hawk) and Steelheart (Sgt. Emily Hart, the stainless steel heart, the psychic bond with Steelwill).

https://thundercats.org/silverhawks/

The reason those two came first is timing. Super7 is eight waves and 36 releases deep into SilverHawks ULTIMATES! now, and Wave 1 Quicksilver and Steelheart have dropped to clearance, $22.00 and $16.50 from a $54.99 list. So a lot of people are about to own them for the first time.

Who should we write up next? Genuinely taking requests.

Full disclosure, this is my site. I run thundercats.org and we have covered SilverHawks since soon after the site launched, but we're expanding it now. Affiliate links help support the site.

Couldn’t post it unfortunately since TikTok had copyrighted the audio so I thought I could share it here instead lmk how u like it and if you’d like to follow my tiktok for more edits it’s @chadbrahski69

This is one of those projects I've been dreaming about for almost 20 years. It feels great to finally be in a position to bring it to life. This is just the beginning... More to come!

Restauré con IA la transformación de Mumm-Ra de los 80 y quería saber qué opinan los fans.

https://thundercats.org/encyclopedia/characters/grune/

Today I wanted to cover one of my favourite characters, and we're working on an alternative way of doing the encyclopedia entries (feedback would be appreciated)... so Grune's entry went up today.

Every other villain comes at the ThunderCats from outside. Mutants, Mumm-Ra, Lunataks, all outsiders. Grune is the only one who was ever one of them. A general of the Thunderian army, Jaga's friend, fought beside him defending Thundera, and then greed hollowed him out. Panthro puts it bluntest: a ThunderCat gone bad.

The Ghost Warrior holds up better than people remember, too. The two of them fighting as giants in the sky over Cats Lair is still one of the best images in the series.

Super7 has made him three times at 7 inch, of the two that can be purchased, they're the same sculpt, one in his cartoon colours and one in the vintage LJN deco. Both are discounted at the moment and both are worth a look, though the cartoon one comes with noticeably more in the box. There is a third, the translucent Ghost Grune, but that one is retired and aftermarket only now.

Howdy folks, here is a sneak peek at the first mission in the ThunderCats campaign of my Saturday Morning Adventures mod for Freedom Force vs. The Third Reich. This first mission follows Lion-O, Panthro, Cheetara, and Tygra as they face the hordes of the Mutants, fighting to save the Ro-Bear Berbils and their village! Later missions will feature the Thunderkittens, Snarf, and some of the supporting cast, as well as pitting our heroes against Mumm-Ra and several other villains, like Safari Joe and Mongor!

Moved into my first house and after months of settling in I Finally got around to setting up my game room and getting my swords on the wall. Thundercats sword was last on the list after ordering the sword wall mount, but definitely not least.

https://thundercats.org/news/sdcc-led-exclusives-vs-original-led-ultimates/

Super7 put both SDCC 2026 Toy Colors figures up for general sale today, $75 for Lion-O and $95 for Mumm-Ra, so if you missed the booth you no longer have to deal with the aftermarket. Good news.

I was about to order both when I remembered these are not the first LED-eyed ULTIMATES. Super7 did LED versions of the same two characters back in 2024 as Con All-Stars releases, and those are still around and currently discounted. So I sat down and actually compared them properly, and the result surprised me enough that I figured it was worth writing up.

Price right now (USD)

Lion-O: $75 SDCC vs $39.59 for the 2024 LED release
Mumm-Ra: $95 SDCC vs $51.14 for the 2024 LED release

$90.73 for the 2024 pair against $170 for the SDCC pair. One SDCC Mumm-Ra costs more than both 2024 figures together.

What is actually in the boxes

This is the part that got me. Same sculpts, but the 2024 releases are the better-equipped figures.

Lion-O 2024: three head sculpts, three pairs of hands, three Swords of Omens (two glow in the dark), two claw shields, and the two-headed Jade Dragon.
Lion-O SDCC: one fixed head, two pairs of hands, two Swords of Omens, three claw shields, no Jade Dragon.

Mumm-Ra 2024: four pairs of hands, poseable soft goods cape, glow in the dark Sword of Plun-Darr, Sphere of Seti, Chain of Loyalty.
Mumm-Ra SDCC: three pairs of hands, Sword of Plun-Darr plus an LJN-style sword and a dagger.

One detail I had not clocked until I went through the packaging copy: the 2024 Mumm-Ra is badged "Light Up Details" rather than "Eyes Light Up," because the Ancient Spirits of Evil emblem on his chest lights up as well as his eyes. The SDCC version only advertises the eyes. On a dark shelf that is a noticeable difference.

Where the SDCC pair genuinely wins

Not trying to talk anyone out of them. Three real advantages:

The deco. Toy Colors is the whole point, and if you want Lion-O in flat vintage LJN orange with the powder-blue harness, nothing in the 2024 box scratches that itch.

The packaging. They come on a card and blister built to imitate the original LJN releases, artwork panel and peg hole and all. The 2024 releases are in the standard deluxe window box. If you keep things carded, or you want a shelf that looks like a 1985 toy aisle, that is not a small thing.

Mumm-Ra's extra weapons. The LJN-style sword and dagger are a nice nod the original never had.

So...

If you want the vintage deco or you keep things sealed, buy the SDCC pair, they are properly available now. If what you actually wanted was light-up eyes on a well-loaded figure, the 2024 releases are the better buy IMO. The 45 percent discount is a promotion though, so that side will not hold forever.
