Warner Brothers Home Entertainment have announced that the long requested, fan-favorite cartoon Thundarr the Barbarian will be available via their MOD (manufacture on demand) DVD program starting September 28, 2010. The 4-disc DVD set is available for pre-order now for only $29.95.Clipped from www.conclusionsdrawn.blogspot.com:
The image above is of the only known sample backing card of what was to be a line of 3 3/4" action figures from Mego based on the saturday morning cartoon "Thundarr The Barbarian," which originally aired on ABC for two seasons between 1980-1982. Very regrettably, Mego went out of business in 1983 before these figures could be produced.
This card combines two of my great childhood loves: the cartoon "Thundarr the Barbarian" (which was basically "Conan The Barbarian" set on a post-apocalyptic Earth), and the Mego Corporation, which in the 1970s produced a line of well loved 8" super-hero action figures, like Batman and Spider-man (the "World's Greatest Superheroes"), as well as similar figures based on the "Planet of the Apes" movies and TV show, and many, many others.
Dork Note: The below video is from Bigfoot and Wildboy; which was a Sid and Marty Krofft live action children's television series on ABC. It began in 1976 as a part of The Krofft Supershow on Saturday mornings. Its not Thundarr, but it's close.
