Thundarr will take the country by storm!
This ad from Viacom was put out in all the toy trades at the time enticing licensees that Thundarr was a good idea. I wish more of them took it seriously. Heck, I still want the unproduced Mego line.

Great art in this ad. I think it's Alex Toth, he and Jack Kirby did model sheets for the show.
Man, I loved Thundarr (still do), but "full length motion picture"? This is the first I've heard of that. Guess it got shelved along with the toy line. Now there's some figures I'd love to see from Biff Bang Pow, how about it Jason?
