Sell your vintage ThunderCats toys

ThunderCats, ho. LJN's figures ran only from 1985 to 1987, reaching the UK through Rainbow Toys, and that short run makes surviving collections scarcer than people expect. Lion-O with a working light-up eye or a tub of playworn Mumm-Ras: send me a few photos for a free, no-obligation cash offer. Most people hear back within a day.

What I'm looking for

  • Lion-O, Mumm-Ra and the full 1985–1987 LJN figure range
  • Figures with Battle-Matic action levers, working or not
  • Light-up-eye figures and their power rings
  • Cats Lair and the Thundertank
  • Smaller vehicles, companions and berserkers
  • Swords of Omens, shields and loose accessories
  • …and the rest of it: loose figures, stray weapons, tired mechanisms and mixed tubs all count. Incomplete is fine.

How much are old ThunderCats toys worth?

Because LJN only made ThunderCats for a couple of years, there's simply less of it about than He-Man or Star Wars, and that scarcity does the heavy lifting on value. The big pieces, Cats Lair and the Thundertank, are hard to find complete, and boxed examples of almost anything in the range attract attention.

On figures, collectors care about the details: whether the Battle-Matic lever still swings the arm, whether the light-up eyes still glow, and whether the little accessories (swords, shields, the Sword of Omens itself) survived the toy box. Most didn't, which is exactly why playworn examples are still worth selling. In the end, the only figure that matters is what someone will really pay. Send a few photos and I'll tell you what that is, no obligation.

ThunderCats questions

The Battle-Matic lever or light-up eyes don't work any more. Still worth selling?

Yes. Tired mechanisms and dim eyes are completely normal on forty-year-old figures, and they don't stop me buying. Working features add a little; broken ones don't rule anything out.

My figures have no weapons or accessories. Is that a problem?

No. Loose figures without their swords and shields are the most common way ThunderCats survive, and I buy them all the time. If a bag of loose weapons turns up in the same box, even better: include it in the photos.
