About the Author

Sean “Buddha” McKeone

thundercats.org community member · co-host, Beyond Thundera podcast

Buddha is one of our own. A long-standing member of the thundercats.org community, he co-hosts Beyond Thundera with original ThunderCats series writer Peter Lawrence. The podcast has interviewed Larry Kenney, Maggie Wheeler, Pete Cannarozzi, Kyle Lambert and most of the surviving voices and creators from all three Rankin/Bass-era properties. Thunder-Verse! is the consolidated, double-checked, photographed-from-the-collection version of years of that work.

What’s Inside

Eight hundred and fifty pages of properly catalogued reference

Every vintage figure

Comprehensive catalogue of every vintage release across all three Rankin/Bass-era toy lines.

US and international variants

Side-by-side documentation of US, UK, European and South American releases. Cardback and sticker differences called out per region.

Rare prototype reference

Documented prototypes with detailed reference photography. The cleanest published account of the unproduced LJN third series.

Creator interviews

Exclusive new conversations with Larry Kenney, Maggie Wheeler, Pete Cannarozzi, and behind-the-scenes material from the writers and artists.

Global merchandise

Accessories, role-play, licensed product. The first single-volume reference for the international merchandise sprawl of the late 1980s.

TigerSharks chapter

A proper deep dive on the 1987 Kidworks line. Almost nothing has been written about it in 38 years; this fills the gap.

How spectacular and what a work of dedication and persistence. It deserves all its success.

Froggy Flips · YouTube toy collector

“Hall of Omens: Thunder-Verse! is positioned as a key resource for collectors and fans interested in exploring the whole history of these animated series.”

James Zahn · Editor-in-Chief, The Toy Book

“Every page is packed with passion, nostalgia, and straight-up collector energy. It is like opening the vault on your childhood.”
