About This Figure
On the series 2 (14-back) cardbacks, the Snowman figure is pictured with a totally different shield and spear. The shield looks more detailed than the shield that was released. This shield seems to have a kind of pattern on it. The spear looks to be more pointed than the one that was released. I believe the shield and spear was actually released with a figure from the LJN Advanced Dungeons and Dragons toyline. However these variations are included here as they were never actually produced for the Thundercats toyline itself. We are including it here, due to the fact that it was pictured in what looks like prototype pictures. Whether it is a prototype or not is a matter of opinion.

Worth knowing
Our own archive is candid that this one is arguable: the shield and spear shown are believed to have been released with a figure from LJN’s Advanced Dungeons and Dragons line, just never for ThunderCats.
Sourcing
The assortment number and case pack above are transcribed from the LJN catalogue scans held in the thundercats.org archive. With one exception, assortment 3526 for the Berserkers, these numbers are not published anywhere else on the open web, so treat them as our reading of our own documents rather than settled collector fact.
