I really dont remember man..As a kid i never paid any attention to details like these..lol! However, you are right..The blue cape was really random..I do have a picture of me though with the exact same costume you had..I also remember that because i could not find the sword of omens i used my brown/golden
he-man plastic sword to accompany the mardi gras outfit. Dont have a clue about the origin of these things..

It would be nice to share your pic wearing the old Lion-O costume with us! I did some searching on the net for this particular costume, to see if others fans from around the world had purchased it but with no luck.


Here is a blend of the Old and New Thundercats products placed in the Glass cabinet, i've manufactured the Ikea detolf in a way so it can fit the 32'' Lion-o:

I would be worried about putting a big heavy statue like that on a glass shelf. At the moment, mine is on the bottom (wood base) of a display case. I would even have that fear with the HH statues.

aero, my friend you are right and I had second thoughts about placing Lion-o inside. This statue weighs 7 kg and is 34'' tall, according to the product's(Detolf) information the maximum load/shelf is 6 kg, also my original aim was to place in both Lion-o and Mumm-ra but they won't fit(Lion-o's sword is going to stick out). So i went to the smith and customized the horizontal steel bars on the two sides. I cut and placed two of them a few inches below. I asked him to cement the bars as strong as possible so as to hold the extra weight. I took the rest of them out, besides they aren't needed. Then i put two glass panels one on top of the other to support Lion-o's base.

I believe it's pretty secure now and it displays nicely
