This is probably a good opportunity to pick up your first proto figure, as the lack of history or detail on the origin of this guy will definitely affect the price.

Thundercats Lynx-O Resin Prototype

Written by Ralph on 5th October, 2008

I wasn’t a Thundercats fan back in the day, but have recently rediscovered both the toy line and series. I have a little more shopping to do for my collection however, before I think about adding awesome prototypes like this resin Lynx-O.

Original LJN PRE-production figure used at the 1987 toy show!

This figure is directly from LJN and is a hand painted action figure used in the toy show!

Resign models are pre-production and are a different wieght and feel of the

production plastic figures.

Being much more brittle, it is all the more rare to have this in one piece with no glue applied!

Also these have a much rougher surface.

You will notsee the ‘Telepix/ LCI’ stamp on the bottom of this figures foot either!

Production figures were designed from this one model!

This piece has been in my collection for about 8 years.

Own a piece of true Thundercats history!

Custom Transformers Grimlock (War Within)

Written by Ralph on 2nd October, 2008

“There’s lots of cool extras and customizing done on Grimlock. To start, I resculpted the head to best resemble Grimlock, I painted the visor red, and the eyes light up using a small button on his back. The gray base color was achieved using several shades of gray, all the way to an almost white. The gun comes from a Gundam model kit and was painted to match this custom. The gun was also custom made, and the ammo belt actually fits into a small groove on the gun. He also makes lots of sounds… and lights up in various spots (alt mode lights on top)!!! As for the alt mode (Cybertronian Tank)… I wanted to give Grimlock maximum firepower. I made some custom guns that mount onto small pegs up towards the front. The guns can pivot upwards, downwards, and slightly outwards so Grimlock won’t have a problem locking onto any target. I also added some accessories to his alt mode, like the metal sections towards the back, the pipes on his back door, and the spare tire.”
