80’s fun!

Khash gave me my christmas present today! The complete Thundercats on 12 dvds!  Thank you so much!  I watched one DVD and I really had fun.  I remember that as a kid, the Thundercats show was one of my favorites on television.
Thundercats
My favorite Thundercats were Lion-o, Cheetara, Wilykit and Wilykat 

Lion-o was the leader and he had the cool sword of omens.  Cheetara could run really fast and Wilykit and Wilykat were small, nimble and they threw tiny pellets that had gas, powders or glue in them.  Of course, the thundercats had a cool catchphrase. Lion-o would shout: "THUNDER THUNDER THUNDERCATS!  HO!!!!"  and the sword of omens would lengthen and a beacon with the thundercat logo  would shoot out like the batsignal.  Good stuff.

It turns out that I had bought the final season of the new he-man.  It’s okay.  They introduced new characters and a new enemy the snakemen.  These guys are even more powerful than Skeletor’s goons.

I also found out what Skeletor looked like before turning into a skeleton-like figure. 

He was a blue skinned, long haired villain named Keldor.  He assembled his forces and wreaked havok on Eternia, the world of He-man.  That’s him on the right fighting with with He-man’s father.

My Favorite character in the New He-man would have to be Evil-Lyn.  She’s a mean spell caster and she’s kinda cute too.  I THINK I remember liking Orko,Stratos, Teela and Cringer when I was a kid.  I recently watched a rerun of the old 80’s He-man show.  I couldn’t stand it!  He-man was a dumb jock who just ran around waving his sword without USING IT.  Sheesh, all the sword’s good for is transforming him anyway.

I found out that the Transformers I got wasn’t the first or even the second season but the THIRD.  Geez.  Khash got me transformers too so now I have two DVDS of the third season.  Anybody want it?   Just post a comment here or e-mail me or something.  I really want the first season.  Next week maybe I’ll go try shopping for the Visionaries.
