My main wants are GRUNE, JAGA, and HACHI MAN. But I also wouldn't mind having VULTURE MAN and LYNX O.

I'd consider complete:
Cheetara
Tygra
Bengali
Lynx-O
Snarf
Snarfer
Sssslythe
Monkian
Vultureman
Powered-Up Mumm-Ra
Anything further would be icing. For vehicles I'd really dig the Thunderclaw.

Disappointed that the Mumm-Ra we got is the "reg" version.

Yeah, pretty hard for Mummy-Ra to instill much fear in the mighty 'Cats. Need the Ever-Living to slap them around. |

I always assumed that a 'roided up MUMM-RA would show up if the line proceeded.

I would be happy with just Cheetara,Tygra,Jaga,Bengali,Lynx-o,Grune and 'Roid Rage MummRa  ThunderTank and Cat's Lair would be awesome but that's thinking way too far ahead. |

You guys know more about the THUNDERCATS than me. How tall should 'Roid Rage MUMM-RA be? He's bigger than the Cats, right?

I remember him being larger than Lion-O in both cartoons, by at least a head. Maybe more in the more recent (and much more awesome, IMO) 'toon.

Nice!
I'd have been happy if they used the reg MOTU buck. Same size as Lion-O wouldn't have worried me.

Agreed, it died too soon. |

Agreed, it died too soon. IIRC, it was because the toys didn't sell. Of course, the toys were pretty shitty, but it's still our fault for not buying them. Despite liking the newer show, I still prefer the original costumes. Me am odd. |

I don't think it's surprising that later shows written by fans that are now grown-up appeal more to us older folks, but nostalgia is hard to break for visual things like costumes.

....but nostalgia is hard to break for visual things like costumes. Very well said. I once read in an interview with some actor about how the stuff you take a liking to between ages 9 and 12 pretty much sticks with you for life. I think back to those years, and it makes a hell of a lot of sense....the BRONZE AGE of comics, HE-MAN, GI JOE, early 80s Sword and Sorcery, STAR WARS, etc.... And also, good point about the writing. The newer stuff gets written by people who grew up on the original. |
