Note, this article is about two toylines that shared the same market.
Rainbow Toys was an United Kingdom toy company that was licensed by Telepictures to produce LJN "ThunderCats" toys for the English markets in Europe. This happened up to 1990 with a new "Rainbow Toys" logo introduced that year. The line would at some point completely be taken over by Toy Options. Toy Options appears to be the distributor name given by Otto Simon for their UK releases. It was confirmed by 1990 that Rainbow Toys would appear to be under Otto Simon in the 1990's catalog. One toy vehicle, the ThunderTank had boxing including both the new "Rainbow Toys" logo and the Toy Options text information.

Toy Options marked items printed for the market will have a "O" symbol, and any items that were imported with stickers added to go to England will be noted by a "_" symbol. Any items not confirmed are listed here will lack a symbol and are be only assumed to be part of the line based on back of cards.
