Hi rchrz!

These will be offered at my shapeways store that I'm just about to open.

I would hate to have people receive them and then not be satisfied. The swords fit Lion-Os hand perfectly or as good as the factory toy, but my main concern was to make sure that the small sword fit in the Thunderclaw. I'll update this thread ASAP as soon as it's tested.

These will be unpainted because they will be coming directly from Shapeways and not me. I'll be posting instructions on how to apply color. I did as you can see from the pics raised or cut into the plastic so you can easily paint in the symbol or the eye.

Funny you ask... I'm actually working on the stands seen in the cartoon. From what I can tell there's three versions. One that was in the escape ship from Thundera, one in the sword display room next to the Cat's lair control room (SDCC version) and then there's a small stand next to Lion-Os bed.

I was planning on making them for myself but if people are interested, I'll gladly upload it to Shapeways also. I'm not sure on the costs yet. I'd hate to give an estimate and be way off.

What I really want to make is a samoflange!

The eye is more open by design. I tried to make the middle sword as different as possible so it'll be worth it for me to have. That's why I made it a bit longer also.

I'm so happy that they finally made an awesome version of Lion-O that I wanted to make sure the quality of the items I want to add is up to par. hopefully....

I haven't had time to get Tygra... he looks great also. I can't wait for the rest of the gang. I'm hoping Cheetara is next.
