Wizz-Ra Ultimates: The Mage From Dimension Doom Gets His Due
As a kid, the appearance of the powerful mage Wizz-Ra, an ancient Egyptian themed foe of Mumm-Ra was just wild. He appeared from a magic mirror to Cheetara, he’d battled Mumm-Ra head to head and was a powerful adversary. And he had this rare and mysterious nature to him. So rare and elusive, that for all the kids at my school, when the Panini sticker books for ThunderCats came out we were all chasing and trying to find the Wizz-Ra foil card for the centerfold, and for many of us he was the last one we needed to finish the whole damn book. He was so valuable people were willing to trade 50 or more other cards for him.
When a toy customizer expert (Hunter Knight) offered to do a custom for ThunderCats.org we asked for Wizz-Ra of course. You can see the custom we commissioned here.
I thought of course, that we would never see a ThunderCats action figure line go so deep as to get to this single episode guest star in a package. How wrong we were. Finally Super7 is releasing an absolutely beautiful production figure. And I can’t wait to get my hands on this, my absolute holy grail dream figure.

Who Is Wizz-Ra?
From our Wizz-Ra encyclopedia entry: an Egyptian wizard who fought Mumm-Ra to a standstill – until Mumm-Ra tricked the Sphinx into thinking Wizz-Ra had scarred its face. The Sphinx, not a forgiving party, banished Wizz-Ra to the Seventh Dimension with a curse: he gets to come back to Third Earth for a single day, once every 7,000 years.
His power source is the Helmet of Fahnur. Without it, his magic fades. With it, he is essentially Mumm-Ra’s equal.

Dimension Doom (Episode 33)
Wizz-Ra appears exactly once in the original series, in “Dimension Doom” – Season 1, Episode 33, originally aired in 1985. One of the most striking standalone episodes of the run.
An apparition of Wizz-Ra appears in the mirror in Cheetara’s room, waking her in the middle of the night. She keeps it to herself, afraid the others won’t believe her. Then Mumm-Ra crashes the reunion, steals the Helmet of Fahnur, and uses it to put the ThunderCats under his control. Lion-O, entranced, hurls the Sword of Omens into the Desert of Sinking Sands.
Cheetara and Snarf – the only two left – team up with Wizz-Ra. Cheetara moves the Vulture King statue to fool Mumm-Ra into thinking the day is over. Snarf grabs the helmet. Wizz-Ra puts it back on, breaks the trance, and frees the ThunderCats. Cheetara sees him back to the mirror just in time. He thanks her and disappears for another seven millennia.
One of the few episodes where Cheetara and Snarf carry the show. One of even fewer where the rescue depends on a guest character we never see again.
Speaking of Cheetara and Snarf – the actual heroes of this episode:

The Panini Foil Memory
The 1986 Panini ThunderCats Sticker Album shipped with a centerfold poster you completed by adding the special foil/silver-background sticker tier. Wizz-Ra was on that poster, and for a lot of us he was the last sticker standing between you and a finished book. Schoolyard rate of exchange: about 50 commons for one Wizz-Ra.
Still chasing one? Vintage Panini ThunderCats albums on eBay sell anywhere from $40 to $200 depending on completeness.
