In 2003, Toynami released a series of action figures based on the characters from the classics Hanna-Barbera cartoon Thundarr the Barbarian. I always wanted to pick these up, but missed out on them when they were initially released, and over the years the have become a little pricey on the secondary market.
I finally scored two of the three figures from this line (hopefully with the third to come soon!) So, I figured I should give them the video review treatment!
Kicking things off, here’s a look at the figure based on the title character: Thundarr the Barbarian!
First, let me apologize for the delay in making this announcement.
Second, I’d like to thank everyone who entered the very first contest here on Pixel-Dan.com! Also, a special thanks to the fine folks at Mimoco.com for partnering with me for this giveaway!
Now, let’s all offer a huge congratulations to Gary B, winner of the “May the 4th” contest! Gary B will be receiving an exclusive 16GB Darth Maul USB Mimobot Flash Drive from Mimoco!
Thanks to a plug by my friend Poe Ghostal, I found this incredibly cool site that I felt I also needed to share. PocketPowerToys.com is a site dedicated completely to the Sega Pocket Power toyline that was released by Tyco in the late 80’s /early 90’s.
This is one of those toy lines that I had mostly forgotten all about, but always remember when I accidentally stumble upon pictures of the Thunder Blade Helicopter or the infamous Glo-Bones.
I remember always wanting many of these as a kid. Especially that Glo-Bones. Unfortunately, I never had him or most of the toys in this unique toy line. However, it turns out that I did have one, and I never even knew it was part of this line. At least, I didn’t remember that it was part of this line.
Following up on my recent post about this incredibly cool custom hammer by friend Joe Amaro, Joe has updated his blog with these images of the final product!
From Joe:
“The Mystic Hammer sculpt is now finished! Here are some pictures of the hammer with various figures to give you an idea of scale. The size is 5.5″ tall by 4” wide. It’s now off to get casted and then they will be ready for sale. I do not have a pre-order section. I will post a link here and on Twitter to the sale page when they are ready.”

In case you haven’t seen it yet, Scott “ToyGuru” Neitlich has once again posted a short video to show off some features on upcoming action figures. He answers questions about how the arm attachments will work on MOTU Classics Spikor and shows how the interchangeable legs work on Ghostbusters Dana.
Maybe someone can clear this up for me. Is Dana articulated at all? When she was shown to us at Toy Fair, I was under the impression that when she has her “normal” legs on, she would still have some articulation. I figured at least the head and arms still moved, and I likened this interchangeable legs feature to the most recent Slave Leia figure that Hasbro put out. I loved that figure, so thought it was cool Mattel was handling Dana the same way. However, I’ve seen a lot of people upset, saying Dana is more of a statue than a figure. So maybe I was wrong about the articulation?
As far as Spikor goes, I love the way they handled his trident. And I think it’s extra cool that the attachments use the same plug in as Trap Jaw, Roboto, and Hurricane Hordak. Definitely not something that was necessary, but col to see it included.
