Below we have some incredible diorama shots and digital renders for Light up Eyes Lion-O.
I love the mock-ups for Lion-O’s packaging, and they really did do it justice with the actual production versions.
Digital Renders of Lion-O’s packout.
Vintage LJN Lion-O
The Vintage Lion-O figure came out as part of LJN’s Series one ThunderCats figures in 1985. It was the height of popularity for the Rankin and Bass Cartoon Series!
Lion-O came both single carded and packed with his furry companion Snarf. He came with his Claw Shield, Sword of Omens, and a “secret power ring”. The Power Ring was battery powered and when placed in his back, Lion-O’s eyes would light up! He also included Battle-Matic Action! As the package says, a secret lever on his back would make his arm move up and down.
According to LJN Lion-O | Thundercats Wiki | Fandom
Features:
1. Battle-Matic Action: Like many of the LJN ThunderCats toys, the Lion-O figure featured a lever on its back and pushing down this lever with the forefinger would make the figure’s Sword bearing right arm move up and down.
2. Light-Up Eyes: Only two figures had this special feature with the other figure being the LJN Mumm-Ra figure. Both these figures came with a Power Ring which required one “AAA” Battery to operate. The Power Ring was to be worn on the finger and inserting its contact point into the opening in Lion-O’s back would cause the figure’s eyes to light up.
3. Poseable limbs and head: The Lion-O figure had 5 points of articulation, 2 at the shoulders, 2 at the hips and 1 at the neck. These points allowed the figure to be posed in a variety of action poses.
Accesories:
1. Sword of Omens: Made of red plastic with the blade and hilt painted silver, the sword was designed to fit into the figure’s Battle-Matic right hand.
2. Claw Shield: Made of red plastic, the claw shield was designed to snap onto Lion-O’s left arm.
3. Power Ring: Made of red plastic, the Power Ring’s top opened to reveal a battery chamber which could house one “AAA” battery. The bottom part of the accessory consisted of a ring like aperture which allowed the Power Ring to be worn on the finger. The contact point of the Power Ring was located at the front and would cause the Lion-O figure’s eyes to light up when inserted into the opening in its back.
4. One Energizer Battery: Only some Series 1 releases of the Lion-O figure came together with a free “AAA” Energizer Battery for the Power Ring.
5. PVC Snarf Figure: Only some Series 2 releases of the Lion-O figure came packaged together with a PVC Snarf Figure. This figure was essentially a mini-statue and had no features or points of articulation. This Snarf figure should not be confused with the fully poseable LJN Snarf figure which was release later as a separate figure as part of the “Companions” sub-line.
LJN Lion-O | Thundercats Wiki | Fandom
Lion-O was released in 2 variant color schemes. He came out with an Orange Hair Variant and a Red-Hair Variant. And yes, those are both my vintage Lion-Os from my personal collection!
According to LJN Lion-O | Thundercats Wiki | Fandom:
Lion-O was one of the first ThunderCats action figures produced by LJN Toys. The figure was based on the original 1980s cartoon version of Lion-O. Standing a solid 7 inches tall, the Lion-O figure had action features as well as poseable arms, legs and head, thanks to 5 points of articulation. The figure also came equipped with weapons and extra accessories.

Mumm-Ra The Ever Living Variants
Mumm-Ra too is a direct homage to his vintage LJN counterpart! In again a totally new head and body sculpt, this Mumm-Ra totally resembles the vintage figure from his red headdress to his teal-colored skin, to his red skirt and finally his yellow-colored shin guards. Mumm-Ra includes an alternate head, 2 pairs of alternate hands and a knife and sword that look just like the vintage LJN accessories! This is not a re-paint of the Wave 2 Mumm-Ra but an all new sculpt from head to toe! This is super exciting to see the vintage LJN Mumm-Ra made into a modern Ultimates figure! This too is a figure I don’t currently have in my collection, so looking forward to adding him!
