About This Figure
Whether this gun is a prototype or not is debatable. On one hand it was originally pictured with the Tuska Warrior figure in the 1986 LJN catalogue, but then the gun released was changed to the regular green gun. Sometime later LJN actually released the black gun packed with one of their Dune action figures. This gun is actually cast in black plastic and is NOT painted black. The silver highlights are painted on. Also, the handle is what I beleive to be the first type (wider) handled Tuska gun. 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 two source notes disagree on the year: the description says the 1986 LJN catalogue, the caption on the scan says the 1985 dealer catalogue. We have not resolved it and are not going to guess.
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.
