We truly grew up in the golden age for kids shows and toys.

@Antillon010 Год назад

Nothing like it👍🏻

@KirkLee1983 Год назад

Yep.

@MrCashmere101 4 года назад

There will never be a better cartoon and toy era better than the 80's! Period!

@venomhemi3914 3 года назад

I agree 100%

@clintsaines9274 3 года назад

They started making it what it is but the 1990s where good too.

@salt9217 2 года назад

Don’t forget music!

@Chalor. 2 года назад

@@clintsaines9274 As an 80's kid, the toys were better than the 90's, but the 90's had the better cartoons. Batman the animated series solidified what a masterpiece a cartoon could be. And Animaniacs rejuvenated the wit and satire of Merry Melodies.

@johnb.1750 3 года назад

The Thundercats intro theme is the G.O.A.T. of all cartoon intro themes! 👏😀❤🇺🇸💯✔

@fiddlestyxify 4 года назад

I remember a 5-episode arc in the original series about Lion-O's trial to become Lord of the Thundercats, where each of his teammates challenge him to earn their insignias, Game of Death style. Shows how he had to learn to respect, value, and learn from the skills of those working alongside him to take down Mumm-Ra at the end. A well done microcosm of the hero's journey and a lesson in leadership.

@thunderkat9503 4 года назад

fiddlestyxify , those were my favorite episodes!!

@thunderkat9503 4 года назад

I always wondered why the Sword of Omens and the Claw sheath was red?🤔

@beyondcomicstv 6 лет назад

I met Panthro, the voice actor, he was the father of Bill Cosby on the Cosby show. Also, My friend went to a con and had the voice actor of LION-O call me, that was AWESOME!!!

@MichaelMercy 6 лет назад

Very cool! :D

@philstewart345 5 лет назад

How did you meet Earl Hyman?

@seanahmed9079 2 года назад

Remember the 2nd Cat's Lair on New Thundera? That was waaay cooler than the original. Also they had a new vehicle called Whiskers which was pretty cool. One episode even featured a new Tower of Omens!!

@Warlocke000 6 лет назад

The only Thundercats figure I ever had was the mutant, Monkian. My brother and I really only ever got sugar-free gum, but for whatever reason my mother let me get a pack of either Bubblicious or Hubba Bubba which happened to have an entry for a contest where the prizes were Thundercats toys. I ended up getting a package in the mail so long after I sent in my entry, that neither my mother nor I had any clue what it was. Even after I opened it up and found the Monkian figure inside, it still took me a while to remember the contest I had entered.

@Logick 3 года назад

i love that the call sign to call the other Cats was a giant laser pointer

@edpistemic 4 года назад

As I watch your videos it makes me realise just how many toys my parents gifted me in those few short years. Obviously nothing compared to the Toy MuseumTM that you have, but now this era is gone I just can't remember how there were enough occasions for them to buy me Lion-O, Panthro, the Thundertank, Slithe, the toy sword. They were very generous. I was very lucky. *Sniff* [Nostalgia tear]

@mr.cookie7308 Год назад

Yay for 80's cartoons and toys......I grew up on this show also. What an simple and awesome time!

@alistair4909 2 года назад

Ngl I really admire this show for having a well written different abled main character while Heman could barely manage an iconically bad special episode, “Not So Blind”.

@joshbrowning3488 6 лет назад

I wish I was able to share a picture of me from back in 86(?) I was about 5 years old then. My mom and babysitter took me to Sears to get my pictures taken and I was throwing a fit. So my mom made a deal with me that she would buy me the Thundercats playset. The one that had the mask, a sword of Omens. A shield and claw. Needless to say, it wasnt part of the plan. But those pictures taken at Sears back in the day had me modeling those toys!! Lol

@MichaelMercy 6 лет назад

Haha, sounds like awesome pictures! HO! :D

@thearianmandalorian Год назад

Still to this day the best theme song ever! so damn legendary, still gets me hyped as can be when i hear it

@dominicm6144 Год назад

Whoa, I want them! Haha, 38 years old and still thinking the Thundercats are boss.

@ec021pgo2 2 года назад

Wow! To relive 1985- 1989 would be a joy to me because it was the best time of my childhood. Those toys and cartoons bring back such great memories how I was so determined to come home from school to watch the cartoons and to play with my toys.

@VirginiaTombstoneRevival 5 лет назад

I always dreamt of having the Thunder Tank, but like you, money was right. Looking at it over 30 years later it is still an impressive toy.

@Optidorf 5 лет назад

Wait! Snarf's real name is Osbert? Wow, I just learned something new

@tiffanyjenkins1756 3 года назад

That's Uncle Osbert. Lol 😆

@MrUltimatemaniac100 3 года назад

So this is where the name Ultimate Warrior originated! And to think Vince and Warrior fought it out in court!

@eugenelau3927 Год назад

I had Lion-O, Panthro, Thundertank , the light-up ring to make the eyes glow and Hachiman!!! This video brings back fond memories for me, Michael!!! Thanks!!!!

@thefairhairedboywiththered2951 2 года назад

This brings back some happy memories. I had quite the Thundercat toy collection as a kid.

@GamerMan359 5 лет назад

Out of all these 80's heroes, i think technically Lion-O is the youngest (being 12-13) and Optimus Prime the oldest (1000+).

@MichaelMercy 5 лет назад

Good point! His body aged but he still woke up being about the age of Wily Kit and Kat.

@domingorubies656 2 года назад

This cartoon/line was so awesome and combined well with Masters of the Universe with the fantasy/sci-fi theme.

@DanielNyberg7 5 лет назад

My brother rented one of the VHS and i hid it. I was 5y/o. Now Im 32 and still watch Thundercats. I have so much love for this show! Hoooooo!

@mosescampos305 6 лет назад

I've always wondered why they haven't done a full motion picture on the Thundercats. Especially now . Hopefully soon they will come to their senses.

@crisalexander9357 3 года назад

I've been saying this for years and they have to get it right though as close as to the cartoon & action figures of the 80's. Otherwise it will flop like the new cartoon did and that would be the worst injustice in history 🐾🦁⚔️⚡⚡⚡

@TomMSTie1138 3 года назад

Wow, I forgot about most of these toys until they were mentioned, and I had most of them. I remember having the Lair and how COOL IT WAS!

@CringerKitty 3 года назад

Fun video. I also had the first wave of the original figures, but I remember the original Lion-O was only packaged with his weapons, and not Snarf. I think Snarf was added in a later release with Lion-O if memory serves me. Also, what's up with that clear ghost Jaga?!

@gottagetitgaming7759 5 лет назад

Still one of my favorite shows and toys. Great video.

@anthonycaulfield2337 6 лет назад

@DRAGOINTHEHOUSE 6 лет назад

Great job, Mr.mercy , thundercats is in my top 3 cartoons of the 80s , I think what set the show apart was the awsome animation and the intro , I was hooked from the beginning , and tygra was also my favorite , I liked the look of the character design, for some reason he was first in my book

@MichaelMercy 6 лет назад

Thanks! After becoming a fan of Lord of the Rings later in life, I've come to appreciate Thundercats even more due to the similarities. Not surprising considering Rankin Bass did the Hobbit animated movie. I loved Tygra's theme too. It was a nice touch that each cat and even the Thundertank had their own themes. It was like entrance music! :D

@johnr7279 5 лет назад

I was never a Thundercats fan but knew friends who were who all pretty much raved about it.

@karissarasmussen567 5 лет назад

Im so happy I had the chance, No the honor of getting to watch part of the Thundercats series in the 90's

@ObriMensah 10 месяцев назад

This was very well done. Thanks for quite the watch.

@fernandobraidatto7741 5 лет назад

I remember I was playing with my brother and my friend. We had installed a parachute made of plastic bag on Lion-o and then, we threw it out of the window of my 11 store building I used to live, to see if the parachute would work. Unfortunately, Lion-o didn’t survive. The parachute didn’t open and Lion-o felt to the ground like a meteor, smashing it completely. I kept the head of Lion-o for some years though... This happened 25 years ago. The sword is still on my wardrobe. I had the grayskull castle instead of the cats’ lair

@daddiodizzle8990 6 лет назад

Hah! 3 minutes and you're own Thundercat definitely got a laugh. You edit so entertainingly well. I'm hoping to use your vids to introduce my 5 year-old to some of my old friends. Your combining of footage always engages and expands upon the info your presenting at the time and the humor is great. Thanks for sharing the love and your knowledge. You'll be one of the coolest guys with a collection that we know, in our house.

@KirkLee1983 Год назад

I never got into Thundercats as a kid that much.. I had a few Comic Books and figures but not many. I did use to watch the show though. I was into GI Joe and Heman, Wrestlers and Army Ants more.

@billpagan3070 5 лет назад

Ok another great segment Michael!😁👍 Love the bear looking figures! May have to pick those up in the future. Besides Ewoks they also in way remind of daggit from BSG

@clayscustoms2050 2 года назад

Hopefully we get to see a video on the bad guys too. Back in the day, the only figure I owned was Lion-O v2 and that was it, but the ThunderCats cartoon was (and still is) among my faves from the 80s.

@svendmadsen3789 6 лет назад

I still remember when the Thundercats and Dungeons & Dragons cartoons were taken off the air in New Zealand for being too "violent" when I was a kid. Never got to see the entire series...

@MichaelMercy 6 лет назад

It's too bad the people who made this decision didn't actually watch the show. They would have seen the whole message was an anti-violent one.

@svendmadsen3789 6 лет назад

I also remember years later Power Rangers being taken off air after a kid hit his friend with a stick playing Power Rangers in the yard; so it was therefore deemed too violent for the whole country smh

@greg777ist 6 лет назад

@MichaelMercy 6 лет назад

@mathewbarrie 6 лет назад

Why could they not give the light up eyes feature to all the Thundercats? Tygra is my favourite too, the noblest of all the Thundercats, and his theme music is excellent.

@MichaelMercy 6 лет назад

Cost issues probably. It was also weird how small Cheetara was and how big Lion-O was and all the accessories and light-up feature he came with, yet they were both the same price. Most toy lines would give you the same amount of plastic and gimmicks for the same price.

@mathewbarrie 6 лет назад

Yes, Cheetara was tiny. The line wasn't really to scale. Speaking of scale have you seen - or indeed do you own any of - the Mezco mega scale Thundercats? They look great, so cartoon accurate. I seem to remember there was a HUGE gap between the releases of the other guys and Tygra. The wait was agonising. Then, when my sister presented him to me for a birthday, well... I was quite pleased :)
