80's Cartoon Swap DUE Nov 9, 2007

[Zamurai]

80's Cartoon Swap, cards due Nov. 9

Let's remember the 80's...a time when cartoons were like, totally radical.
This swap is all about them. All cartoons that aired during the 80's is fair game. Examples include, but not limited too: He-man, Transformers, G.I. Joe, Thundercats, She-Ra, Jem, Rainbow Brite, Silverhawks, Danger Mouse, etc. Feel free to interpret the subject as you see fit...keep to the style of the show or adapt it to your current style, just make sure we can still see the essence of the character and/or show.

I really didn't want to do any more swaps right now, but how can I resist a she-ra card, or thundercats? awsome, dude! sign me up! my sons would be totally stoked if I did a gi-joe.

[Amerasu]

I'll join too :)

[Zamurai]

Yea! My first participant, if you don't count OriginalYouth(who I just convinced to join). Glad to have you Tablynn, you're like, in. Amerasu jumped in while I was posting this reply, thanks for joining.

[OriginalYouth]

I really didn't want too, but how can I resist Rainbow Brite? Care Bears? Too funny. I'm thinking Inspector Gadget too.....

[TabLynn]

I LOVE inspector gadget! I have a Danger Mouse remix of the theme song. I was always a Get Smart fan so it seemed a natural to watch inspector gadget. Are smurfs 80's?

[OriginalYouth]

Are smurfs 80's? Oh, for sure!

[Zamurai]

Yep...Smurfs are very much 80's. My mom never let me watch the Smurfs because she thought Gargamel(sp.) was evil, but she did let me watch Friday the 13th with her, my aunt and my older brother when I was still in elementary school...it just doesn't add up.:eek:

Hoo Boy... how could I ever forget the many "wonderful" hours spent assembling all those nifty "He-Man" toys for my sons. I think Castle Grayskull had about 3 million tiny little stickers to be applied! And those Ninja Turtle Action figures had more accessories than any Barbie doll! Sign me up.

[Zamurai]

Thanks for joining Dina....my parents visited this last weekend for my daughter's b-day and we talked about all the joys of assembling toys and stepping, barefoot, on all those little, hard plastic pieces that we kept losing....good times.

[lemurkat]

Man if I wasn't going away I'd be totally into this. Radical dude!

Maybe if I've time before the deadline upon my return home!

[Zamurai]

Due to the number of swaps due in September and October, I've extended the deadline to November 9th. Hopefully that helps others breathe easier and allows for more participants.

Thanks,

Z.

[Klawzie]

Iee. If it's in November, I can probably participate! I'm keeping an eye on this one, but am not signing up until I have at least my personal trade and another swap finished. :oooo

[porcelain]

I have to do this! Excellent theme :)

[Zamurai]

Glad to have you porcelain, and to klawzie(blatant peer-pressure) c'mon you know you want too...everybody is doing it...it'll make you more popular....j/k it'd be great to have you, just let me know.

And to everyone else be sure to check out the link...there were so many cartoons that I had forgotten about until I saw them on thier lists.

Z.

[SilverHermit]

Man o man - my favorite cartoon years - Muppet Babies, Snorks, and D&D were my favorites... sign me up.

Thanks for joining....I must admit, I too was also a fan of the Muppet Babies. Just don't tell anyone, it could ruin my manly reputation.

[dina54]

Hey Z, My cards are in the gallery. I'll get them off to you sometime next week.

[Zamurai]

I saw them in the gallery before I checked the thread, they look great Dina....I'll let you know when they get here.

Plenty of slots still open if anyone is still interested.

Z.

[TabLynn]

my first card is done! went with a villian on this one:D

[Zamurai]

Tablynn: Very nice....keep 'em coming. :v_spin:

Z.

[TabLynn]

Here's the next 2, now just one more for the host...

[TabLynn]

And last but not least...

[OriginalYouth]

Great work on all of those Tablynn!
All these cards make me laugh! :) Hooray for kids of the 80s. I haven't decided who to draw yet, everyone is doing 'tough' themes.... ;)

[Zamurai]

Nice Ninja Turtle TabLynn, however, since his mask is red it must be Raphael, and he uses sai's for his weapon of choice not a katana sword, Leonardo used the katana sword. Wow, I'm such a geek.

Z.

You said it, not us! ;)

[TabLynn]

Ha! I knew I would goof that up! I could not find a good reference of whose who. He must be borrowing the sword from Leo:)

[TabLynn]

Ok since Z pushed my OCD buttons I decided to fix the turtle. I guess Leonardo got dressed in the dark or something. Anyway now he has on a blue mask. Hopefully no more costume changes:twitcy:

[Zamurai]

Didn't mean for you to have to change the card...but it looks great nonetheless.

Z.

[dina54]

Hey Z, these cards are postal! Sent 4, keep one for a gift. (I'm thinking Lion-O , but your choice ;) )

[Zamurai]

Thanks for the head's up Dina, I will let you know when they get here and post feedback.

Z.

[Zamurai]

Received cards from Dina and Tablynn. Awesome cards from both of you, I can't wait to see the rest of the cards from everyone else. I've posted feedback for both of you as well. Still plenty of time for anyone else interested in joining the swap.

Z.

[OriginalYouth]

Anybody else going to jump into this one? It's mighty quiet in here....

[Amerasu]

I thought this topic would be hotter too! Guess there aren't as many 80s comic geeks as we thought, lol.

I'll be finishing mine up this week and sending them your way.

My swaps seem destined to be on the small side, but it's probably a blessing due to my schedule and commitments as of late. Can't wait to see your cards Amerasu...and there is still plenty of time for anyone else still interested. Please pm me if anyone needs my address.

Z.

[Amerasu]

Here are my cards. I'll send them out on Monday.

[Zamurai]

Very nice...I had the notion to draw Danger Mouse today while I was substituting, but I didn't get around to it. Great cards...I'll let you know when they get here.

Z.

[Zamurai]

The deadline for the swap is quickly approaching, if anyone needs my address please pm me.

Thanks,

Z.

[Zamurai]

Received some very cool cards from Amerasu today, thanks for the creepy extra. I just posted feedback for the Summer PAT, so I'm pretty sure I have to wait to post feedback for these.

Z.

[Zamurai]

Porcelain and Silverhermit have you guys gone postal with your cards yet? Please let me know when you do or if you already have, so I know when to expect your cards....I'm hoping to send returns by next Friday if possible.

Thanks,

Z.

[Zamurai]

Wow...five posts in a row...I received some very cool cards from porcelain today, thanks for the blanks. Just waiting for one more set which should be here at the beginning of next week and I should have them swapped and mailed by the end of the week.

Z.

[OriginalYouth]

Hey Zamurai, you're hot!

[dina54]

Hey Zamurai, you're hot!

Get a room you two!!!:rolleyes:

[Zamurai]

Hey Zamurai, you're hot!

Thanks hon, see you tomorrow...

Z.

[SilverHermit]

Hey Zam. Just to let you know, the other two swaps I sent out at the same time as this one arrived yesterday and today so mine should be there momentarily.

[Zamurai]

Hey Silver your cards came in yesterday but I wasn't able to get on line long enough to post that they came in or to post feedback. Great cards by the way. I should be able to get these mailed out by this weekend. Thanks so much to everyone for participating.

Z.

[Zamurai]

Just wanted to let everyone know that all cards have been swapped and shipped out today. Thanks so much to everyone for playing and making this a successful swap. Great cards everyone and thanks to everyone who sent extra goodies for me. If I haven't left feedback for anyone please let me know, and please let me know when you receive your cards.

Thanks,

Z.

[dina54]

Super cool cards arrived today from Amerasu (Inspector Gadget), TabLynn (Cheetara) and porcelain (Trap Door). I had to look up Trap Door as it was shown in UK. What exactly where the creators smoking when they came up with THAT I wonder? Love the talking skull....;)

[TabLynn]

I received a She Ra card from dina54, He-Man and She-Ra from Amerasu and Homer from Zamurai. Doh! Thanks Z for hosting and to everyone for the cards. They are too cool for words!
