NOW i've hit a lot of nerves to most of you guys when i feature the LORD OF THE THUNDERCATS to Super Powers Collection #10...
ThunderCats follows the adventures of the eponymous team of heroes, cat-like humanoid aliens from the planet of Thundera. The series pilot begins with the dying Thundera meeting its end, forcing the ThunderCats (a sort of Thunderean nobility) to flee their homeworld. The fleet is attacked by the Thundereans's enemies, the Mutants of Plun-Darr, who destroy all the starships in the "ThunderFleet," but spare the flagship hoping to capture the legendary Sword of Omens they believe is onboard. The sword holds the mystical Eye of Thundera, the source of the ThunderCats's power, embedded in the hilt. Though the Mutants damage the flagship, the power of the Eye drives them back, and Lion-O's elderly guardian, Jaga, pilots the ship to the safety of the world of "Third Earth"; however, he dies in the process, as there are insufficient cryo-stasis pods aboard the ship, and the journey to Third Earth takes several decades even with advanced interstellar spacecraft. The flagship contains the young Lord of the ThunderCats, Lion-O, as well as the ThunderCats Cheetara, Panthro, Tygra, WilyKit and WilyKat, and Snarf.
The first half of Season 1 featured a gentle continuity, with early episodes following on from one another and establishing recurring concepts, although this became a little less common as the season transitioned into its second half, which comprised mostly incidental one-shot adventures. Tying the second season together was the over-arching five-part adventure, "Lion-O's Anointment," in which an unarmed Lion-O faced off against the other ThunderCats to truly earn his title as Lord of the ThunderCats. Although intended to be viewed consecutively (as the adventures depicted occurred one day after the other), the five parts of the mini-series were erroneously aired (and released on DVD) with multiple other episodes between each installment.
so there you have it guys and gals my #10 installment to my SUPER POWERS COLLECTION.

Brings back a lot of memories. All happy.And teh struggle I had finding the complete first series of characters. Second series was impossible tio find in Canada. Snarf was a full no show in any store I looked in. So many happy memories. Even found a ful poster of The Thundercats. Still have it up on my ceiling. :)
I never really liked the LJN figures all too much because they ruined the scale they make LION-O too tall Panthro too short... Tygra too skinny and Cheetara too top heavy... the battle-matics were stupid and the possible Snarf was impossible to find... Not to mention Jaga and Ben-gali
I did however traded with my old rich friend who had dupicates when the Line died so i did have all the figures plus the THUNDERTANK which was way to small...Sadly i sold the lot to a comic owner for $700.00 but that was like 15 years ago

Yes, it is easy to like Lion-O as a hero. The show was after all more about him than the others. As much as I liked Lion-O, it was about Panthro to me. Wise, strong and a real go getter when it came to getting things done and fix. He by far was the cat I liked the best. But being a fan of the villain, I would be all over that silly Monkian. Now he should had been the one in charge of the bad guys.
