Given that the two franchises have often met up with one another in certain media like toy lines and comics, what would you like to see in an official animated He-Man x Thundercats crossover either be character interactions, plot lines, etc

How have there only ever been two ThunderCats video games?

One on ZX Spectrum in 1987 and one the Nintendo DS in 2012.

Potential worth?

My dad passed away last year and I’ve been going through his collectibles and found this bad boy… he wanted me to sell his collection at some point for my sons college and as I’m going through it all, it’s bringing back some amazing memories but man, I can’t find any info on this holy grail.

Brought home my first mini today

I have an enormous amount of nostalgia for the original LJN toys but I had almost no knowledge of the miniatures until I saw them in Hall of Omens. Really exciting to find one carded out in the wild. Made my day.

Question about Episode 1 of the 1985 series

Does anyone know why, at the beginning of Exodus (Episode 1 of the 1985 series), all of the Thundercats — except Jaga — were naked? All of the other Thunderans we see portrayed on Thundera (Lynx-O, Pumyra, Bengali and Lion-O's father) are shown wearing clothing on their home planet, so why were Lion-O, Cheetara, Panthro, Tigra, Willy Kit and Willy Kat naked?

Now that I've gotten the Cat's Lair home, I guess it's time to start opening these?

As you can see from the background I've always been an opener of figures, and for one reason or another I've never got around to opening them. Now seems the right time, although I'm still unsure of where I'm going to put this giant mama-jama, plus the Thundertank too!

Are Tygra and Bengali related in the original cartoon?

I know that Tygra once refers to Bengali as "brother", but I don't know if that was literal or metaphorical.

Did Lion-O ever say...?

"Give me hope beyond hope"

I would have sworn that I recall him saying it (from my childhood). But I'm not 100% certain.

"ThunderCats" 40th Anniversary Discussion

Today officially is the 40th anniversary of the ThunderCats franchise. The original cartoon is well loved by its fanbase for the intriguing characters and settings that it had. It's gone through some changes, but to me, the original will always be the best. What do you enjoy the most about the franchise in general?
