Des anyone on the forum own one of these MOC? or its Luna Lashers counter part? This guy has been trying to sell these since i can remember. I just can't believe the price! I know people are entitled to list whatever but i could get two one of a kinda prototype items for the prices.

P.S if anyone does have these MOC could they kindly post a pic or two. Ive seen many loose ones about.

I dont have one, but I also saw that listing on ebay. It is very nice, but at that price it is just a dream...

I am hoping to save up enough money to obtain the Lion-O Thunderwings loose one of these days. Anyone know what a good price would be?

There is this one loose on ebay and frankly that is a very high price indeed. People just find a TW lion o then buy a loos thunderwings back pack.
Id say a fair price for a loose, clean TW lion o would be 215usd. Anymore and i just dont think its rare enough to warrant such a silly price

Rarity isnt a produced figure. Rarity is a mad bubbler, Feliner, purple mumm ra or a wax sculpt of the figures.
These figures are mostly in demand due to people hoarding them, less countries making them etc.
Would you rather have a hand cast Red Eye for $5k or thunderwings liono moc afa 75 for $7k

I have to disagree. By your logic your saying that a produced figure, even if there are only a handful in existence aren't rare??? That doesn't add up.

The Thunderwings Lion-O is extremely rare because very few came out at the end of the LJN line. Of those very few, an even fewer amount were collected and kept as opposed to being broken and thrown out by some kids mom. In the last 15 years, I would say that less than 10 or so have come up on eBay (for auction not buy it now). Think about that. Now think about how many Thundercats collectors and action figure collectors in general want that figure, either in MOC or L/C form.

Now I agree 7K is too much for that AFA Twings Lion-O and the L/C one is like $450.00 USD. I wouldn't pay that much but depending on the condition of the L/C, I could see a serious collector paying between $300.00 to $400.00 for it.

Also you have to remember that different collectors value different things. I place a large amount of value on the Twings Lion-O and in all honestly place none on the wax sculpts or prototypes. It's not that those items aren't valuable, its that I have no interest in them.

Toy hunters is set up because I bought a red eye from Jordan a year before that show and he's been friends with the ex LJN employee Jose for years.
A agree rarity is in the eye of the beholder but how can you class a factory moulded plastic toy over a hand sculpted lion o that the original mould was cast from?
