ThunderCats (Bandai, 2011)

This series features the characters and story arc from the 2011 series on Cartoon Network. Display boxes hold 24 packs of 7 "base" cards (numbered 1-13 through 1-80) plus 1 "rare" foil card (numbered 1-01 through 1-12). But don't worry about the scarcest cards having the low numbers -- my box provided two complete sets. If collation held up over the whole print run, you'd expect 2.47 base sets of 68 and 2 foil sets without extras.

The cards have the look and feel of Bandai CCG offerings like Naruto, with slippery surfaces and rounded corners, but the design is wholly trading-card set. See some examples below. The first 25 cards are a Character Collection with dialog quotes, then there's a single Vehicle Collection card and five Art Collection Cards. 33 cards of the Scene Collection give images and quotes from only Episodes 1-5, and since the card numbers have a "1-" prefix, Bandai was certainly prepared to publish sequels if the cards caught on like Naruto and Power Rangers. But it looks like their Action Figure line continued to focus on the Classic 'Cats and they didn't pursue a merchandise tie-in.

BOX 1

Base Cards (68 cards, 1-13 - 1-80): 2 complete sets, 27 threes, one four, one five
Rare Foil Cards (12 cards, 1-01 - 1-12): 2 complete sets, no extras
