These apparently originated in Mexico. They are monochromatic copies of the official LJN Thundercats Miniatures released by LJN in 1986. I don't own any of the originals, but below are some pics I yoinked from eBay as a reference.
I'm admittedly not a Thundercats expert, but I think the characters I have as bootlegs are Lion-O, Cheetara, Tygra, Tuska, Jackalman and Ratar-O.
These figures are a little over 2 inches tall. The bootlegs are made of a flexible rubber, and as you'd expect for cheapo bootlegs, have imperfections. But they're awesome, and they even come with weapons they can hold! Well, that some of them can hold. If you spend 10 minutes positioning them just right so they don't fall out...
And here's a shot of the backs of these figures, just for posterity.
And that's pretty much all I know about these things! If anyone else owns any, I'd love to see photos or find out any additional information you can share about them.
Nice post. Did those weapons come with the figures? I did not get much for weapons in the lots I picked up.
ReplyDeleteThanks Shaun. The person I bought them from said the weapons were included with the figures.
Deleteweird but awesome!
ReplyDeleteWhen I was in elementary school Chips were a valuable piece in a balanced diet, Those figures were sold inside potato chips bags, at random, the rarest of them was the Thundertank
ReplyDeleteCool. Thanks for the info!
