Serpentor

I mean seriously, He was Cobra Commander's boss!  And he was this supernatural badass.

Thundercats were pretty much the cat form of He-man combined with a little GI Joe. 

Also King Hiss was the bee's knees.

Fair enough.  I went a little over board with the Thundercats being the cat form of He-man/GI Joe.  I got all  :excited: :excited: when I saw the GI Joe thread and the real hot He-man pics.  Lost my  :gocho: for a sec.  Thanks for talking some sense into me DD.

There was some American Picker type show that was strictly for toys on A&E, the Travel Channel, or one of those similar channels. The guy came across a USS Flagg new in box and purchased it to sell at a convention. I think he was asking like $2,500 to start off with. Insane.
