WilyKit was one of the first ThunderCats action figures produced in the second series of ThunderCats toys by LJN Toys. The figure was based on the original 1980s cartoon version of WilyKit.
Standing a solid 4 inches tall, the WilyKit figure had poseable arms, legs and head, thanks to 5 points of articulation. In comparison, the PVC WilyKit figure that came with some of the Series 2 LJN Cheetara figures had no points of articulation. The figure also came equipped with a Spaceboard.
This particular WilyKit figure was released as a member of the ThunderCats "Companions" sub-line which included the ThunderKittens, the Berbils, Snarf and Ma-Mutt. The Companion figures were packaged on slightly smaller backing cards than the adult ThunderCats figures. Also the cards were illustrated with a scenic mountain landscape.
Features[]
Poseable limbs and head: The WilyKit figure had 5 points of articulation, 2 at the shoulders, 2 at the hips and 1 at the neck. These points allowed the figure to be posed in a variety of action poses.
Accessories[]
Spaceboard: Made of a red plastic with parts painted grey the Spaceboard had tiny pegs which would fit into the figure's feet, allowing the figure to stand on the Spaceboard.
