Action Figure Of The Day

Bring on the monsters! I was never a big Thunder cats fan as a kid. I liked the show, although something about it always seemed dated to me, but the figures never appealed to me. They were big, kinda clunky and had limited articulation. It's nice, however, to have a couple on display as they were a huge part of that 80s era where cartoons and action figures thrived. Plus, who better to feature in a monsters themed toy blog post than old Slithe!

    Loved the show & loved the toys! One year for Halloween my Mom made me a homemade Lion-O costume, but I refused to wear it because it showed way too much leg! Pretty sure I just ended up wearing my Ghostbusters costume again. It's still better than the year she made me an Oreo Cookie!!

    Thunder-Thunder-Thundercats! ohhh!

    always good to get you pumped! and that music, did it had the best use of music? best samples? I think so yeah.

    Of the bad guys, I think the reptilian guy was the best, always cunning and planning and never fully trusting Mumm-rah and I love the way he talks!. I wish american style animation returned, I liked it a lot. it was more realistic than anime style although anime might had the edge in plots and character development and stuff, but I appreciate it for that. One of the best intros!

    I too was a big fan of the cartoon, even started watching it with my daughter again recently in order and it surprisingly holds out, but the toys...I didn't find them really interesting as you say, weird scale and proportions plus limited articulations. I did have the prerequisite Lion-O and also Panthro I think but that was it.

    I actually think your vintage figure looks cooler.

      Those remakes were pretty cool but nothing will ever compare to the stinky scent of 30 year old vintage plastic 😅

    I really liked the visuals of Thundercats but the show itself I only half cared for. Still fun seeing their figures. Good post.

      Thanks BD! I think I would have tuned in to show more had I been more interested in the figures but such was not the case.

The other day ,my better half and I had the chance to traverse our local mall early In the day.I hate going to malls at peak hours or on the weekends.The crowds are just too damn cool for me.Long story short,our mall now has a toy store! I couldn't believe my eyes.From a far It looked like It was going to be some artsy fartsy place with educational toys ,wooden blocks and model kits,but no!This place had pretty much everything collectors go for nowadays.The name of the store Is "Go!,Toys and Games" and I can honestly say that I've never heard of It before.Everything was a dollar or two extra ,but that's not too bad considering how ridiculously expensive modern toys are In hobby and toy shops these days.I really hope this place sticks around. There Is a nice mix of everything.Marvel Legends,Star Wars  to blind bags to Funko figs.On top of that there are tons of board games   and books. WTF? Yes! 3 3/4 Marvel Legends!!!!!Not alot thou...

My last "Merry Christmas To Me" post was going to be of Marvel Legends Spider-Man animated cartoon series figure that I thought I was getting a great deal on. It turns out the figure was a bootleg. $30 down the drain and a fake Spider Man figure in the trash. I didn't even bother trying to get a refund from the seller. I'll chalk it up to a loss and keep it moving. So today I figured I'd  treat myself to something dope in the toy aisles at my local Walmart and found this!  I'm not sure if this is a reissue or what but It was the last one on the pegs and so I grabbed it. Now I can't get that damned theme song out of my head.
