wilykat
WILYKAT AND WILYKIT BIO No matter how young or small, this dynamic
twin duo are key members of the ThunderCats team and important for
the group’s survival on Third Earth. Wilkat and his younger sister, Wilykit,
live for mischief-making and playing jokes, but luckily their playful antics
have a purpose. As natural tricksters, these Thunderkittens use beguiling
methods to conquer the most fiendish of foes. Wilykat subdues with his
Flick, a grappling hook, to overcome enemies, and Wilykit enchants with
her hypnotic flute.
VINTAGE VAULT Wilykat was released

twice in the vintage ThunderCats toyline
by LJN: first as an unarticulated PVC
pack-in figure with Tygra in wave one in
1985 (immediate right), and then as an
articulated stand-alone figure in wave
two in 1986 (far right).
THUNDERCATS ARE LOOSE! Mattel first

announced the ThunderCats Classic toyline at San
Diego Comic-Con in 2015. With sculpting by Four
Horsemen Studios and shared parts with Masters of
the Universe Classics, collectors quickly embraced
ThunderCats Classic as an unofficial sister toyline
to MOTUC. A half-year subscription, dubbed
Club Third Earth, was offered in 2016, with
Lion-O announced as the first of seven
figures to be released beginning in July. But when
production fell behind schedule, the subscription was
bumped to September, and suddenly the ThunderCats
ACCESSORIES Classic exclusive for SDCC 2016 — a two-pack of the
Thunderkittens — became the line’s inaugural
offering.
BOMBS AWAY Wilykat came

with a total of five swappable
hands (three left, two right). One
of the left hands was sculpted as
if he was holding a detonating
smoke bomb.

lion-o
BIO Lord of the ThunderCats, Lion-O is a cunning leader known for his
great strength and agility. He wields power with the magical heirship of his
forefathers, the Sword of Omens, which allows him to see faraway lands
and to contact the ThunderCats when there is impending danger. Lion-O is
also able to avoid perilous situations with the guidance received from Jaga,
who advises him spiritually. Although Lion-O is ruler, he is a child in a man’s
body, constantly challenged to grow in moral strength through the Code of
Thundera — Justice, Truth, Honor and Loyalty, and Lion-O always succeeds.
VINTAGE VAULT Lion-O was released in the first

wave of the vintage ThunderCats toyline by LJN. The
figure came with the Sword of Omens, claw shield, and
a life-sized, battery-powered ring that made his eyes
light up when touched to his back. Some versions of
Lion-O also came packaged with a Snarf figure.
NEW AND IMPROVED

With TC Lion-O, and all
of the other figures
in the ThunderCats
Classic toyline, Mattel attempted to be
screen-accurate to the 1985 ThunderCats
cartoon, much more so than the
vintage LJN toyline, where figures
tended to frequently be off-model
from their cartoon designs. The
Mattel figures also featured a
greater number of articulation
points, whereas most LJN figures only
had five points of articulation total.
ACCESSORIES
THUNDERCATS, HO!
Lion-O came armed with

jackalman
BIO Loyalty is very important to Jackalman, unfortunately, he’s loyal only
to himself. As a member of the mutants, enemies of the ThunderCats,
Jackalman leads the Jackalmen, a group of humanoid jackals from
planet Plun-Darr. Jackalman’s real name is Kaynar, and regardless of his
name, there’s no question that this scavenger is a conniving coward whose
intentions can never be trusted, except when it comes to him using any
means possible to destroy the ThunderCats.
VINTAGE VAULT Jackalman was released in the

first wave of the vintage ThunderCats toyline by
LJN. The figure came with removable shoulder
armor and a brown spiked club accessory.
NEW AND
IMPROVED From
the color of its fur to
its missing shin guards
to its simplistic

Jackalman figure was hardly screen-

cartoon. The Mattel Jackalman
was a much more accurate
representation, so much so
that the only things the two
figures really had in common
were the cheetah-skinned left arm
bracer and the club accessory.
The latter was an homage to
the vintage action figure, as
Jackalman never used this club in

pumyra
BIO A super agile climber, Pumyra resembles a puma and is known for
her outstanding leaping abilities. She is a true asset to the ThunderCats
because she has a great understanding of medicine and serves as their
healer. While she is skilled in combat, using a weapon that looks like a cat’s
tail, called a whipcord, Pumyra, by nature, tends to first try to solve conflicts
without fighting. Instead, she leans towards compassion and working on
creating compromise and mutual understanding. However, when combat is
necessary, she uses her whipcord which launches pellets and spheres, similar
to an ancient sling.
< VINTAGE VAULT

Pumyra was released
in the third wave of the
vintage ThunderCats
toyline by LJN. The
figure came with a
sling accessory.
NEW AND

The vintage Pumyra action figure

GIMME A HAND Pumyra came with four hands: a

closed right fist, a gripping right hand, a gripping

mumm-ra
BIO This mysterious creature, shrouded in a robe, lives in the Black Pyramid,
in the dark corners of Third Earth, his native home. Mumm-Ra spends
much of his time pensively watching the ThunderCats in his larger-than-
life, bubbling cauldron. Possessing a strong and sharp mind, Mumm-Ra, by
contrast, has a body that is weak and feeble, so his survival depends on
him returning to his sarcophagus each day. However, he does more than
just rest in his tomb. While he serves four Ancient Spirits of Evil that have
granted him with immortality, Mumm-Ra, with his intelligence and cunning,
is the mastermind of the Mutants, controlling them to do his bidding in
defeating the ThunderCats.
VINTAGE VAULT Mumm-Ra was released as

a mail-away figure in the vintage ThunderCats
toyline by LJN. It was also included as a pack-in
figure with Mumm-Ra’s Tomb Fortress playset. The
figure featured only three points of articulation
and came with a staff.
NEW AND IMPROVED Mumm-Ra,

in his “decayed form,” was released
as an exclusive figure in the Club
Third Earth subscription, meaning
that the figure was sent only to
subscribers and was not made
available for individual sale at
retail. Unlike the vintage figure,
which featured only three points
of articulation, the TC Mumm-

neck, shoulders, elbows,

and ankles, giving him

panthro
BIO Panthro is one of the toughest warriors of the ThunderCats and relies
on his physical strength as much as he does on his mastery of martial arts.
During combat, he uses a pair of chained Fighting Sticks that open into cat
paws. These nunchuck-like weapons spray various chemical compounds that
he uses against enemies. Panthro also builds all of the vehicles used by the
ThunderCats on Third Earth, including the Thundertank, the HoverCat and
more. He is the mechanic, engineer and the pilot for the ThunderCats.
VINTAGE VAULT Panthro was released in the

first wave of the vintage ThunderCats toyline
by LJN. The figure came armed with a pair of
nunchucks.
NEW AND IMPROVED

The vintage Panthro ac-
tion figure adhered rather
closely to his on-screen
cartoon appearance. The
only really noteworthy de-
viations were the cuff on

on his left bicep, which
were painted blue instead
of silver, as well as the figure’s
ACCESSORIES eyebrows, which were light gray
instead of black. The Mattel ver-
sion of the character proved to be
much more on-model and was even
given slightly shorter calf pieces in
order to make the figure stand

males in MOTUC or TC.

lion-o
BIO Smart, fast, and skilled as a warrior, Lion-O is the prince-turned-king of
the ThunderCats. A boy when they fled Thundera, he now as a young adult
has the mind and temperament of a 12-year-old, so he has some maturing
to do. His exclusive weapon, the Sword of Omens, gives him the power of
“Sight Beyond Sight” and makes him the dire enemy of the evil Mumm-Ra.
ON THE MOVE! After nearly three years of

rumors, toy company Super7 announced in
August of 2019 that they had secured the
rights to continue the ThunderCats Classic line
that had been begun — and summarily
dumped — by Mattel in late 2016.
The initial line-up was announced to
include re-releases of Lion-O, Panthro,
Jackalman, and Mumm-Ra, each
with additional accessories and
alternate heads that had not been
included with the original Mattel
versions.

JACKALMAN
ISSUES The second figure in Wave One
of Super7’s ThunderCats Ultimates
line was Jackalman. Unfortunately,
the figure did not come without a
few issues. For one, the reversed-
calves mistake from the original
Mattel release of the figure was
carried over to Super7’s version,
despite promises to correct it;
the tuft of fur at his neck was
not painted to match the fur of
his chest; and his guns were left
unpainted as well. Two of these issues were
addresed when Super7 promised to ship
out correctly-painted guns and fur piece in
November of 2020.

BACKGROUND As previously noted, Super7’s release of ThunderCats Classic
Wave One wasn’t without its problems, mostly due to unpainted or wrongly
colored parts for Jackalman and Panthro. To remedy the situation, Super7
shipped a Booster Pack to customers in March of 2021 that included five
corrected pieces plus one bonus “apology” item.

BIO Slithe is the leader of the Reptillian Mutants from the planet Plun-Darr.
Once a field cook in the army of General Ratar-O, Slithe cheated his way
into power and followed the last of the Thunderians to Third-Earth in the
hope of capturing the Eye of Thundera for himself. Trapped and forced to
serve the powerful Mumm-Ra, he continues to plague the ThunderCats from
his base in Castle Plun-Darr.
VINTAGE VAULT Slithe was released in the

first wave of the vintage ThunderCats toyline
by LJN. The figure came with a long axe.
NEW AND IMPROVED While the

vintage LJN Slithe figure was not
exactly screen accurate (note his
off-model shorts and his missing
headpiece), it was still considered
one of the best, most detailed
figures in the vintage line. This

CAPTAIN CRACKER
BIO Captain Cracker is a villainous robotic pirate who sails the galaxy in
his space-faring vessel, the Jolly Rogers. Along with his talking robot parrot,
Polly, Captain Cracker searched for unwary victims to plunder. A notorious
and crafty criminal, he later joined forces with the evil Lunataks. Despite
having only one leg, he is a ruthless combatant who prefers to strike at foes
with his deadly, razor-sharp cutlass.
VINTAGE VAULT Even though he was a relatively

obscure character, having appeared in only three
episodes of the original ThunderCats cartoon series,
Captain Cracker received an action figure in the
third wave of the vintage LJN toyline. The figure
came armed with a cutlass.

JAGA
BIO Long ago, Jaga served Claudus, original Lord of the ThunderCats.
Charged with guarding the treasures of Thundera, he became a mentor to
Claudus’ son, Lion-O. During Thundera’s destruction, Jaga led the exodus
of refugees. He later sacrificed himself to pilot their flagship safely to the
distant world of Third-Earth, yet his spirit continues to guide a now adult
Lion-O, reaching out from the Spirit Realm in times of great need.
VINTAGE VAULT Even though he was a key character

in the ThunderCats cartoon, Jaga was not released in
the vintage LJN toyline until the third and final wave.
The figure came with a removable helmet, cloth cape
(which was not removable), and the Sword of Omens.
NEW AND IMPROVED The

vintage LJN Jaga was fairly

lynx-o
BIO The oldest of the ThunderCats, Lynx-O lost his sight in a fiery
explosion preceding Thundera’s destruction. He attempted to join the
other ThunderCats when they left, but was too late. Later, Lynx-O and his
companions were saved by a Berbil ship and joined the ThunderCats on
Third-Earth. Although blind, he developed his other senses to an almost
preternatural degree, and can sense things that others cannot. A skilled
fighter, he directs his attacks at enemies’ pressure points.
VINTAGE VAULT Lynx-O was released in the third wave

of the vintage ThunderCats toyline by LJN. The figure
came with a shield accessory.

MONKIAN
BIO Monkian is the leader of the Monkians from Plun-Darr. He is a powerful
and brutish warrior whose ape-like strength makes him “the muscle” of
the Mutants. Monkian is also incredibly agile, especially when climbing,
swinging, and leaping through the tree branches of Third-Earth. Because
of this, he is often tasked with important reconnaissance missions for the
Mutants. Rarely seen without his signature helmet, Monkian’s preferred
weapon is his deadly flail.

Thunderians he was sworn to protect and betrayed them. Vanquished by
Jaga in an epic battle and exiled, he came to Third Earth and terrorized its
inhabitants. When Grune died, his tomb was magically sealed to imprison
his malevolent spirit. Freed in the present, Grune ferociously assaulted the
ThunderCats until he was again defeated by Jaga in ghostly combat.
VINTAGE VAULT Grune was released in the second wave

PUMYRA
BIO A super agile climber, Pumyra is known for her outstanding leaping
abilities. She is a true asset to the ThunderCats because she has a great
understanding of medicine and serves as their healer. While she is skilled in
combat, Pumyra tends to first try to solve conflicts without fighting. Instead,
she leans towards compassion and working on creating compromise.
However, when combat is necessary, she uses her whipcord which launches
pellets and spheres, similarly to an ancient sling.
EVERYTHING OLD IS NEW AGAIN Super7’s Ul-

timates Pumyra was a re-release of the figure first
produced by Mattel in November of 2016. The figure
was nearly identical to Mattel’s version, with the excep-

her height (she was too tall) — was unfortunately not

and an open left hand. Super7’s version
came with two additional hands: a closed
left fist and an open right hand, making six
hands total.

MUMM-RATHE EVER-LIVING
wicked bidding.
VINTAGE VAULT Mumm-Ra was released in the

first wave of the vintage ThunderCats toyline by LJN.
The figure came with a removable headdress, black-
bladed sword, and silver dagger. The figure featured
light-up eyes that were triggered via a life-sized ring
that could be applied to his back.
COLOR CORRECTED Like most of the

LJN ThunderCats figures, especially those
from the first wave, the vintage Mumm-Ra
figure varied quite a bit from his on-
screen appearance in both design and
color. The Super7 version more closely
captured Mumm-Ra’s small screen
appearance, most notaby with his white
bandages and his cape, which the
vintage figure lacked completely.
ACCESSORIES
HEADS UP Mumm-Ra came packaged

with two head sculpts, one with his
mouth closed, the other with his mouth
open as if screaming (as he often did
in the original cartoon series).

IRREGULATOR In the five-part “Return to
Thundera” miniseries, Mumm-Ra learns
that the planet’s gravity is controlled
by the Gyroscope at the center of the
planet and decides to use this knowl-
edge to try to destroy the Thun-
derCats by stealing this item, the
Gyroscope Regulator, significantly
impairing the functionality of the
Gyroscope.
A MUMMY’S BEST FRIEND Ma-Mutt was re-
leased twice in the vintage LJN toyline, first as an
unarticulated pack-in figure with some versions
of Mumm-Ra (where the dog was labelled
as “Ravage”) and later as a standalone,
articulated figure in the Companions series.
The Ultimates version of Ma-Mutt was articu-
lated at the head and legs.
EVENING WEAR

cape featured
an internal, bendable wire for

held in place via pegs in the figure’s wrists and
upper back, which were also removable.

TYGRA
BIO Tygra, Lion-O’s counsel and trusted lieutenant, is the oldest ThunderCat,
cool-headed and gifted with a scientific mind. He is master of the bolas, a
whip-like weapon that can also make him invisible, and he has the power to
put convincing illusions into the minds of others.
VINTAGE VAULT Two versions of Tygra were re-

leased in the vintage ThunderCats toyline by LJN.
The first one, frequently referred to as “Young
Tygra” by collectors, was released in Wave
One and sometimes included a Wilykat
pack-in figure. Later, LJN released
a more screen-accurate Tygra to
replace the less on-model original
version. Both Tygra figures came
with a bola whip accessory.

was of course vastly superior to his LJN predeces-
sors, better capturing his cartoon design and add-
ing a great deal more articulation, but the figure
was not without its issues. There was much
debate about the accuracy of his colors, as
his clothing ended up being more blue
instead of having a teal/green tint to it
(the same could also be said for the
color of Mumm-Ra’s skin). The most
glaring omission on the figure was
the lack of an elbow pad on the figure’s right
arm, a detail
