"Thundarr?" Topic

Wow. I had not heard of him in ages, since I was in my teens. Look at this:

Heh. I remember Thundarr. He was cool for his time.

They adapted him to the "Over the Edge" game system? Wow. I didn't know that was still in print! It was an interesting game, but a bit too literal for my liking. Still, fun in its own way, though.

I can remember fitting the characters from this into our Gamma World Campagins

Someone else managed to fit them into their scenario as well:

—against the Coneheads no less!

Rember the giant King Kong mech that the bad guy fixed to fight for him?
My favorite.

Hey, back in 1980, THUNDARR rocked!

Wow! Brandon Blackmoor reworked his site. Looks great!

Yeah, the Reconnaissance in Force – Wastelands and Trailer Parks pages are always a joy to behold. And I reeeeeeally want those THUNDARR miniatures! And the Ark II minis, while I'm thinking of it: link

Anybody with any clues as to the nature of those Thundarr minis? Never saw those before.

Lords of Light!

Demon dogs!

Outstanding…and they even picked a good set of RPG rules to use as a basis, OTE is lots of fun and very flexible.

Ookla, Ariel, RIIIIIIDE!

RIF…man, I'd forgotten about that site. Glad to have it brought to my attention again.

Anybody know what the 'Snark' rules he uses for the skirmishes are?

Thundarr used to be on the cable channel Boomerang and I caught a few episodes over the last year. It aged better than I thought and I even got to see the episode about recharging the SunSword.

No, really.

Where did those Thundarr figs come from?

I want a set yesterday.

Man! If those are on the market,they must be mine! Thundar was the coolest cartoon next to Jonny Quest! I hope the Thundarr was not a conversion.

I emailed 'em about Thundarr and this is what they said.

"I sent your question to the person who brought them to the game. He said "The Thundarr figure is an old Reaper barbarian fig with some some minimal putty, the Ookla is a hero-clix sasquatch with some moderate mods (sanding/some putty) and the ariel was an old ral partha slave dancer fig re-painted to look like ariel." He didn't have exact figure numbers, but I hope this helps."

Dang !

Awesome!

Thanks Colonel.

I tried to email them right after I found this thread, but my message bounced.

Now I know.

They're great.

I might have found 'em

Ookla

Might be the Reaper Thundarr link And the one in the middle should be the Ariel mini

Sweet.

Ah – I have fond, fond memories of wasting my Saturday mornings away watching Thundarr …

For you Savage Worlds fan out there (like myself) here's a Thundarr conversion:

Check these out:

Anyone gamed a miniature skirmish of it, maybe with an LOTR variant?

I looked all over for the Thundarr cartoons, to no avail.

I had to cheat and downloaded them torrent style.

I tried to follow the link to the wizkids site and my security blocked it saying it's an "attack site".

Ted Arlauskas – Do you have a link to a downloadable of the Savage Worlds Thundarr PDF?

Ariel, you know Moks hate Attack Sites!

I also put The Herculoids up there with Thundarr. And Johnny Quest… old & new series. I'd love to get my hands on a copy of the Johnny Quest cartoons!! I gotten some of my pulp scenario ideas from the Quest cartoons.

"Moks hate Attack Sites!" Moks hate Ambush Sites even more! ;)

Ted, are you still out there? I'd really like to get my hands on a copy of that Savage Worlds Thundarr.

Enjoy…

Good miniature picture of Thundarr & crew.

"The barbarian figure is a converted Reaper mini, #02233 Dantrag, The Big Leonine fellow is a conversion of the "Sasquatch" HeroClix figure, and the lovely Sorceress is a conversion of an old Ral Partha Dancer miniature. "

What is everyone's opinion on this miniature being a possible for Ariel?

Didn't she used to put her hands up like that to cast spells? I know the outfit isn't quite right, but it can be painted her usual colors.

Hey, so what if it's a new outfit. So she changed clothes (although cartoon characters NEVER changed clothes).

Eagerly awaiting these on DVD.

Boomerang (the spinoff cable channel from Cartoon Network) tends to show them pretty regularly at one in the morning, or so.

Oh, and if you're into 15mm figs, you might want to check out this pack from Superfigs. Three of the sculpts look familiar…

I love that show!!

I think the biggest challenge would be to make terrain that looks like the apocalyptic event took place centuries before.

I think the show mentions 2000 years post-event, right? Wikipedia says 3994 AD:

link

I imagine it would be much like the Forbidden Zone in the Planet of the Apes (3978 AD):

A new movie coming up:

My 15mm order from Superfigs recently arrived with the "special" trio. They scale just fine with my Rebel Minis and others. Now to get them painted!

Awesome!!! Please take a few before and after pictures of the painted figures, preferably next to other figures*.

Looking at the figures in-the-metal is really extremely useful.

Thanks!

I've seen a few of the episodes on youtube.com. It's interesting that I never saw it during the time it was on. I was running a Gamma World campaign at the time and I was asked the question so much that I completely ignored it.

There should be a system (rpg) coming up soon to run it based on the "Barbarians of Lemuria" rpg. It's to be called: "Barbarians of the Apocalypse." It looks to be a good one from the comments of the playtesters so far.

"Barbarians of the Apocalypse"

Mugwump… You D@MN TEASE!

If anyone would like to have a copy – I've taken the rules from this site…

And made them into a decent looking PDF.

Let me know…

Of course replace the AT with the @ sign and the DOT with a .

I liked Thundarr episodes so much I went ahead and burned them to Dvd when they were on Boomarang. They are virtually commercial free. I think Birdman is on the last 5 minutes or so of each half hour. I got a dozen or more episodes, IIRC.

Thanks,

John
