I have been on a huge Filmation kick lately but I picked this up day before yesterday. Its the 4-disc 21 episodes Warner Archives Complete Series 2010 release. The video and Audio are really good just taken straight from the masters I guess? It has got to be one of the best non Filmation cartoons ever! I forgot how much Thundarr kicked arse!he was much tougher then He-Man thats for sure!
Bob Ridgley is awesome as the Voice of Thundarr

I've always liked Thundarr. I need to pick up the DVDs. My son calls the Sunsword a 'vranking' sword because of the sound it makes.

"Lords of light!"

^ I see you your "Lords of Light" and raise you a "Demon Dogs"...

I remember Thundarr being in direct competition with Blackstar on saturday mornings. It was a good thing we finally got one of those neat new inventions back then: the VCR! You could tell it was inspired by Star Wars; Jack Kirby even did some character designs for it!

I believe only the second season of Thundarr 81-82 was in Competition with Blackstar which ran 81-82 .13 episodes on CBS /Thundarr came out a year before 1980-81 ABC

your right. 13 episodes for blackstar 24 episodes for thundarr. neither excited me as much as the debut of the smurfs

Yes Thundarr was great! Thats one of my favs. Were any custom Thundarr megos made on the museum?

My late friend Mike turned me on to Thundarr. He said, "You will really like this show!" and I did. Later found out the designs, and the concept, were realized by Jack Kirby.

Was there much Thundarr merchandise made (back when it originally aired) ? I have a board game, that's pretty much all I ever saw. I remember The Comic Reader, which was the "Bleeding Cool News" of comic collecting pre-Internet reported that a Gold Key comic book was coming out. Man, I searched for that comic book for years before I found out it was never published. That would have rocked!
Too bad DC Comics & Warner Bros don't see fit to market any Hanna-Barbera adventure stuff other than Scooby Doo.

I watched Thundarr every Saturday when it originally aired. I loved it then, but haven't seen it since, I'm kinda scared to see if it's still entertaining for me.
