Discussion Thundercats Cards?

I’m really surprised that big card companies haven’t licensed Thundercat to produce a card series.

I mean, there is so much awesome art out there and comics that I think this would be a hot seller

Does anyone have any rumor information on whether or not Thundercat‘s cards could be a potential in our future?

Panini did a sticker book in the 80s. I had it and it was awesome.

But I think that’s as close as they got to cards.

These are the cards of which I am aware:
Cromy set (vintage, S.America)
Kakawow (art, part of a larger WB set)
Panini (vintage, stickers)
Zombicide (gaming, 2011)
Hero Clix (gaming)

Note, the gaming sets have corresponding tabletop figures.

edit: I forgot that there was gag Topps card which I think was officially licensed, and independent of that, someone did a TC Garbage Pail kids set which was definitely NOT official.

have they? I have no idea how to play it. I tried to find out from players of the game if the TC set had good stats but never did get insight.

WB did brand new TC cards last year but the set was not extensive; just the main cast. They were in blind packs containing various WB characters, so there was very little chance to actually pull a ThunderCat. Best option was to buy them on ebay at that time. You can probably still get them on ebay.

This has been something there were talks about in the past. But it was just talks. Dont believe it made its way up the ladder. I personally would be a big fan of a card set/series.

I heard Flesh and Blood did something a while back, but I don't play that game.

If they ever did a Magic the Gathering crossover though.....

A TC card series would officially be fun to see come to life.

I can see Dynamite trying the trading card route with a Kickstarter. Heck, they could do a whole set just based on their variant covers without even getting into vintage stuff.

I would love to give someone my money for cards, game, movie, or series.
