Vintage ThunderCats (1985-1987)
LJN's ThunderCats action figures arrived in 1985 alongside the cartoon, with Battle-Matic arms you worked from a lever in the back, and a Power Ring that lit up Lion-O's and Mumm-Ra's eyes. The vintage line grew to three series plus the smaller Companions, the spinning Berserkers and a fleet of vehicles and playsets led by the Thundertank and the Cats Lair.
