Top Spinner is a toy that was released in Series 2 and Series 3 of the LJN Toyline and is based on the 80's version ThunderCats series character Top Spinner.
Features[]
Top Spinner is grouped in the "Berserkers", much like in the series. However, on some LJN catalog information he was given the name originally of "Tornado". The Berserkers toy group also included on some the LJN Mini Catalogs: Quick-Jaws (unproduced), Cannon-Blaster (unproduced), Ram Bam, Hammerhand, and Cruncher.
All the "Berserkers" figures were packaged slightly differently than the other figures in the toyline. The toy's card had a hole in the middle in which the figure would stand with the plastic bubble enclosing it from both the front and the back. This different packaging was probably due to the size of the Berserker figures. Each Berserker figure's card also had a different illustration depicting the character in action. Top Spinner's card showed him spinning in action.
Like the other "Berserkers", Top Spinner featured a unique Mechanical "Battle-Matic Action". Pressing the lever on his back, made the figure spin into action. The figure also had poseable arms and head.
Accessories[]
The figure came with an attached Mace and a Shield.
