I collect with my Son vintage and some re release modern figures of his childhood, of which we have Thundercats

So we have 3 ( all with issues but all original) Thundercats cards bubbles and figures which are partially sealed re sealed all look good on display
lion O Slythe Mumm Ra

Cheetara is all original part from the bubble

We also have figures and card backs with no bubbles, bubbles are impossible to find!

So the question is do we display as card and figure

Or Dow we use the MOTU replacement bubbles as ad hoc for display

I'm quite happy to use the replacement ones as they will never be sold on and are quite obviously the wrong bubbles but thought I'd ask some opinions.

See pics of the ones with original bubbles and also pics of what I mean with replacement ones

Looking great, I would use the MOTU bubbles and keep an eye out for original ones. It's pretty unlikely they will ever show up but you never know.
 
So had a brain wave on the Thundercats

Lion o snarf slithe and Mumra are all original cards figs weapons catalogues and bubbles we have managed to get and to work on

However Tygra and Panthro tried the MOTU bubbles and wasn't satisfied, so managed to do a workaround until the time if it ever happens we can source original bubbles

These were on offer at £4.99 each so my Grandson benefits from some wrestling figures

So took off the bubbles and inserts
Lighter fluid and a blade and a little patience to clean the edges of the bubble from the wrestlers cards

The insert even fits as well

So they are all original on these 2 except for the bubbles now. Need to replace the Cheetara with one of these bubbles as well so some more wrestling figs for the Grandson :D

I think they look good for display until the unlikely time we can source original bubbles

All together, just need Monkian and Jacaklman now ( already have cards on the way for them and have the figures)
