And....joining Lion-O as the only character I've remade. He is on his third time I think.
Panthro Here are the original four now. I wanted Lion-O and Panthro to be more muscular than Tygra, but still have Panthro be around the same height and have Lion-O be slightly taller. So I think I'm now content with my Thundercats.

The forgotten ones. Some of the best cartoons aren't remembered as easily as He-Man, Transformers and Joe but they were still part of our childhood or not in some cases...hence the forgotten lol

Updated Thundercats look great as a group! Can really see the mods in action here, each fit well together but all have some differences in their builds that play into their characteristics. Cheetara being the fastest, Tygra looking the most agile, Panthro looking the strongest and Lion-O being the blend of everything. Really like the updated looks.
I think Panthro’s armor looks even cooler now with the thicker layering. Stands out more than it did on your original so really happy you came out with an even better looking custom since you took the time to revisit them. Such a badass group. Haha, 5/8 “Forgotten’s” I didn’t know about growing up. 4/8 I couldn’t tell you their names right now even though I’ve followed along as you’ve released them in your thread. But I was already familiar with Chuck and am becoming more and more knowledgable about Dargon because of you! So there’s hope for the rest of these Forgotten ones yet!

Well as you know I had never heard of Spiral Zone before I started this, Starcom I think I was somewhat familiar with the toys but never had any and had no idea there was a cartoon, Inhumanoids I had heard of but never had any of the figures and had never seen the cartoon, Blackstar I loved growing up and had all the figures, Chuck I had all the toys but the cartoon was only 5 episodes and I don't know if I watched as kid or not, Sectaurs similar to Blackstar had them all and loved them and still pains me that the Zica's second kickstarter failed, Tigersharks was just the third in the line of Thundercats and Silverhawks but never had any of those toys and wasn't as into them as I was the other two, Visionaries I loved as a kid. I've actually learned a lot more about 80s cartoons since starting the project and have watched a larger variety over the last year than I ever did as a kid.

You already hit on Thundercat villains and allies that I didn’t recognize so I’d say you did a pretty awesome job filling out that line.
Same, because of this thread, been checking out more of the stuff that I missed. Bought a few DVDs, watched a few episodes on YouTube, know Bionic 6 I still need to check out on Dailymotion, etc. Said it in my picture thread, I’m definitely feeling that Sectaurs Line not continuing now too. I really loved Dargon & Spidrax once I got them in hand so cant wait to ship the rest of the gang. Did you get them all or only the named characters? I just passed on the black armor Spidrax. Maybe I’ll get him at some point just to “complete” the ZICA lineup or to keep carded.

Thought that was the case because I only saw the main four in your pictures. I only grabbed one of each guard, since the bad guys come with extra heads i’ll try to build them out more with customs instead of buying more guys and having leftover parts.
I agree, need Pinsor and the three bad guys from the second KS at minimum. Since they looked like they’d be a little bigger anyway, I figure BF blanks might be good enough for them. Cheaper than buying these to customize.

Just the named characters. I was going to pick up multiples of the guards and other troop builders once the second kick starter was done, but.....oh well. I may still grab a couple of them as they look pretty cool but they aren't cheap and I'll have to pick up at least two to make Pinsir that didn't get made. I'm okay with not getting the other bad guys, but to have 3 of the 4 main heroes and just be missing one is terrible.

As of right now Pinsir is the only one I plan to make. If I end up making the bad guys too I'll definitely take lots of pics to show you.
