To
accompany such a vast action figure line was
many vehicles, accessories and monsters. LJN
produced 2 playsets, 6 vehicles, 6 accessories
& 2 monsters. Of these, the most famous pieces
are the Thundertank and the Cat Lair. Most of
the other ships appeared in the series while
others were created by LJN. There are also 2
other ships called Shuttle Guns that PlayFul
created that never appeared in the show. The
toughest and most desired pieces are the Cats
Lair, and the 2 monsters of the Astral Moat
Monster and Tounge-A-Saurus.
Other toys and items were also produced with
the 5" series. A 2" series of figures was produced
with playsets. Burrger King also ran a Kid's
Meal which featured various Thundercats pieces.
Eraser, Cake Figurines and more were also produced,
keeping a collector busy hunting for quite awhile.

One
of the most interesting things about this line
is that it was cancelled to early, and LJN had
planned many more figures and piece to be produced.
These unproduced prototypes were so close to
production, that they were featured in catalogs
inserts with the toys. The unproduced figures
were Red Eye of Lunatacs and two more Beserkers.
It is probable that the Lunatacs team was also
being in pre production, but no one is sure
due to the lack of LJN prototypes. Unproduced
ships and vehicles included the Feliner, Luna
Tacker & Thunderstrike. Many other unproduced
pieces were pictured and slated, and were never
released
Most action figure collectors find this line
to be one of the best to collect. Collectors
are often still searching for the toughest pieces
for their collection. These would be the Cats
Lair, the Monster, Jaga and Ben Gali. But the
toughest and most expensive pieces are the carded
gift set packages of Lion-O with Thunderwings
and Mumm-Ra with Luna Lasher.
