The complete run of Thundarr the Barbarian — a cartoon show I worked on 41 years ago — is coming out on Blu Ray and the hero is also receiving that highest of dubious honors. He and his co-stars are appearing as Funko Pop figurines that, of course, look exactly like the original Alex Toth designs.
(People get confused about this so here it is once again: When Steve Gerber and Joe Ruby created Thundarr, Alex Toth did the initial designs, including the models for the three lead characters. This was all pitched to the folks at ABC. They were hesitant to buy the show. More written material was generated and more artwork was drawn. By this point, Alex was unavailable so I suggested Jack Kirby be engaged. He was…and he did the additional presentation art and when ABC then bought the show, Jack did most of the additional designing.)
I don't make anything off the Blu Ray just as I didn't make anything off the DVD. I just enjoy pointing out the longevity of this property which was only on ABC for two seasons and 21 episodes. That's usually considered a failure in TV but those episodes keep being rerun and rerun, and there is now more Thundarr merchandise than there was when the show was a current network TV program. I wish my buddy Steve was around to see that.
