Thundercats VHS question...

I was staring at my Spitting Image BETA cassette and just now realized the artist used 2 very well known Panthro images and mixed them up to create this fantastic cover;

 

Greg Martin did right by the "Spitting Image" VHS cover.

 

It is a fantastic piece.

 

Nice catch. I really like Mummra in the background.

 

The Mumm-Ra in the background is brilliant.

 

wow, that's awesome! great detective work!

 

I used to have some of these. I particularly treasured Thundercats Ho! - The Movie. When VHS went the way of the dodo I forced myself to sell the lot (and many other tapes) to make some space. How quaint that back then I was eager to pay £10-15 for two episodes on a tape - and now you can get the whole series for a fraction of the price that a complete set of tapes would have cost!

 

Nice catch on the Panthro drawings dude! Lotta Thundercats merch didnt have original art but just reused the animation modal sheets.

 

Though the whole series is on DVD, Thundercats HO! and Thundercats Exodus, in the versions they were released on VHS, have never seen release on DVD. Sometimes it's worth keeping hold of those old formats.

 

I had someone copy the Exodus vhs onto a dvd for me since I never had the vhs. Ever since then, I could never watch the butchered official dvd version again.

 

I haven't bought the DVDs yet. What's butchered?

 

The version of Exodus on the DVD is a bit shorter than the full version that was shown when the show premiered and on VHS.
