Safari Joe
Let’s start with the long awaited and fan favorite Safari Joe! Safari Joe is known as the intergalactic big-game hunter and is typically seen with his robot assistant, Mule. He looks just like his vintage LJN counterpart and packed with his companion robot, Mule! Plus he includes a blowtorch gun, knife and alternate head. The Spanish website listing for Safari Joe can be found at: ecuacollections
Safari Joe looks incredible and includes his classic glass monocle on his right eye and his red bandana. Mule looks like he stepped right out of the cartoon!
Let’s take a look at the back history of Safari Joe and Mule.
According to: Safari Joe | ThunderCats wiki | Fandom:
Under the assumption that he will find “good hunting”, Safari Joe travels to Third Earth. He then hunts the ThunderCats, he manages to capture most of the Thundercats by exploiting their weakness’; Wilykit and Wilykat (shoots darts into their spaceboards), Cheetara (energy bolts), Tygra (who can’t swim), Panthro (bats), but is ultimately defeated by his prey.
Safari Joe is not a man of integrity. He would give his word as a sportsman, then turn around and renege on his promise.
After the Thundercats were freed from their cages, Panthro reprogrammed Mule so that Safari Joe could be monitored when the former interstellar big game hunter left Third Earth in peace.
Later clones of Safari Joe, along with Rataro , Slithe , and Spidera were made by Mumm-Ra in an attempt to kill Lion-O.
According to Mule | Thundercats Wiki | Fandom:
Mule is a the robotic side-kick and assistant of the big game hunter, Safari Joe . Having somewhat the appearance of a tiny locomotive, Mule is a very hard working robot who basically does everything for Safari Joe.
He searches for potential prey and then gathers as much information as he can about them. He then displays these collected profiles on the “Holojector” for his master to observe and learn from. He also sets up the “Electronic Blind” for their spaceship as well as construct cages for the captured preys. When Safari Joe is away hunting, Mule acts as a guard to prevent any caught prey from escaping. Despite how badly Safari Joe treats him, Mule is still very loyal to his master.
After Safari Joe is defeated by the ThunderCats and promises to never hunt again, Panthro modifies Mule’s work directive programming to ensure that the robot makes Safari Joe stay true to his word.
The vintage LJN figure, which was part of Series 3, is highly sought after and goes for a pretty penny on the aftermarket! If you want to track one down for yourself, you can still find him on eBay HERE. His vintage figure came packed with the same blaster rifle as Tuska Warrior but in silver and brown.
Nayda
Next we have another Warrior Maiden with Nayda! Nayda is the younger sister of Willa, the leader of the Warrior Maidens tribe. Nayda comes packaged with her bow and arrow, a quiver, alternate hands and an alternate head. The Spanish website listing for Nayda can be found at: ecuacollections
Here we get a cool digital render of Nadya with her bow and arrow standing in front of the Cat’s Lair!
Let’s take a look at the back history of Nayda!
According to Nayda | Thundercats Wiki | Fandom:
Nayda is the younger sister of Willa, the leader of the Warrior Maidens tribe, and someone in whom Willa often confides her concerns or suspicions. Like Willa, Nayda is slightly suspicious of others outside of her fellow Warrior Maidens, but has a much softer and more personable nature than Willa. As with most if not all Warrior Maidens, Nayda is brave and loyal, and like Willa has proven herself to be a valuable friend to the ThunderCats.
Before moving to New Thundera for good, Lion-O appoints Nayda to be one of the member of the League of Third Earth, a group of ThunderCats’ allies formed to safeguard Third Earth and its inhabitants in the absence of the ThunderCats.
Cruncher
Finally we get yet another Berserker with Cruncher! Cruncher is a member of the Berserkers and a huge pirate, whose strength can crush buildings and boulders! He comes packed with an alternate head, alternate hands and some coin bags. The Spanish website listing for Cruncher can be found at: ecuacollections
I love this digital render recreating the scene from the ThunderCats cartoon when Cruncher crushes Lion-O in his huges arms!
Let’s take a look at the back history of Cruncher
According to Cruncher | ThunderCats wiki | Fandom:
Cruncher is a member of the Berserkers. He is a hulking pirate; his sheer strength can crush buildings and boulders with ease.
One of the primary members of the pirate crew, Cruncher possesses great strength which comes from both his natural strength and cyborg enhancements, making Cruncher a lethal foe. Greedy and cruel, Cruncher often joined his fellow Berserkers in pillaging Third Earth on the high seas.
Cruncher also had a vintage LJN action figure, which was part of Series 2. He goes for a reasonable price, so if you want to track one down for yourself, you can still find him on eBay HERE.
