TVTA is pleased to present a selection of toy adverts, comic covers, mini-posters and fact files for the 1980s animated series ThunderCats. ThunderCats was originally aired between 1985 and 1989, with an additional series added in 2011 and a new series (ThunderCatsRoar) scheduled for spring 2019. The ThunderCats brand has appeared worldwide on merchandise such as action figures and play sets, toys, stickers, comics, books and a video game.
This post has been 100% office cat approved by Wooof, who has made himself a cardboard sword and a fake fur leotard costume, and is now proclaiming himself to be the new Lord of the ThunderCats!
Enjoy the scans 🙂

Well played! I absolutely loved Hong Kong Phooey and Wacky Racers back in the day. Hehe, glad TVTA is part of the nostalgia enabling process for you! Wooof sends a big Meow-hello by the way 🙂

Oh wow! Another comic/toy that I never knew about. It looks like a very neat franchise, which is probably why they keep coming back. The mask is very cool.
So, I went to the comic store 2 Mondays ago to take pics of the window display. It was filled with vintage comic book toys. UCH! The guy changed the display, and now has all new toys, games, etc in there. I’ll look for the old ones when I go on Free Comic Book Day. xx

Yes, ThunderCats was a big hit in the day and seems to have a loyal fanbase. There are loads and loads of vintage ThunderCats collectables out there for the enthusiast to pick up, making it a good line to get into, new or old.
Aw, pity about the vintage window display – would have made a good pic. Ne’er mind. You get to go to a Free Comic Book Day soon 🙂

Lol Brilliant! I need to watch a few episodes now. It was good fun reading through the comics as I only have a few memories of the ThunderCats back in the day 🙂 Mumm-Ra is such a great villain!

The cartoon is fantastic, great fun, and brilliant intro and theme! I’ve seen some of the comics before but not many. Mumm Ra was a great foe as well. Its a wonder they’ve never done a live action movie of it, considering all the CGI they can do now, you’d think so since the original cartoon is still so popular.

My eldest son and his friend were heavily into Thunder Cats. They watched the shows and had the figures.

It was fun reading through the comics, as I was kind of outgrowing stuff like ThunderCats back then. I only ever caught a few episodes, but now I can see it’s a bit of a classic.
