Thundercats HOOOO….. or Thundercats Nooooooo

With Toy Fair right around the corner and the latest rumors circling, will we see new Thundercats?  About 3 years ago we had a siege in 80’s toys retuning, from He-man to My Little Pony to Transformers, all reinvented themselves for the next generation.  While MLP did not have a new cartoon the other two properties did and both came and went.  He-man done by Mattel and Transformers by Hasbro both did well but did not find its market to keep it going.  He-man was plagued by time slot problems on Cartoon Network, as well as merchandise problems.  The toys were not packed well, in that out of a case of 12 figures 2 were original characters and the rest were He-man and Skeletor.  The cartoon was nothing more then 30 minutes commercial for the toys.  The problem was though you could not find any of the characters in the stores.  While in the 80’s they ruled good old aisle 7-C they barely made a dent in current toy settings.  They had the possibility of being more then a passing phase yet never really caught on.  While the toy line is being kept alive by the Four Horsemen the main stream has lost sight of this valuable property.

Well now that the 80’s revival has slowed down Thundercats may throw its sword into the ring.  Will they do well?  Can they live up to the hype?  The real question is will the keep the cartoon intact or try to make in nice and PC? 

I’m Back

So, I have been gone for about 2 weeks and I’m getting a lot of support, thank you all.  We have had a few deaths in the family in the past few weeks and it has turned our lives upside down.  As things start to calm down I’m coming back to this blog.  Now the family issues are not the only reason I took time off.  The message boards have been a source of stress for me over the last few weeks, to the point that if I had to choose hunting for toys or going home, I went home.  I just wanted a break.  I have been working a lot on taking pictures and writing my ideas down some fun and some serious.  I have though long and hard and decided that if I want this blog to become my soap box, I have to voice my opinions even if others don’t’ agree with them.  After losing on Fwoosh and feeling alone on AFI I am coming back to talk about all that and toys of course.  So stay tuned it will be an interesting ride. 

Time off

Thank you all for reading this Blog and taking a look at the Hunt with me.  I think i will be back maybe soon maybe later im not sure yet so rory has helped me move it back in the closet, and the book cases are empty again.
