Those who grew up in the 1980s and 1990s would surely remember popular TV animated series Thundercats. Who could ever forget its characters Lion-O, Cheetara and Mumm-Ra, or its storyline about humanoid cats from alien planet Thundera? Then there was also Transformers, which – like its tagline “robots in disguise” suggests – featured giant robots with the ability to transform into automobiles. Of course, their catchy theme songs, which most fans, like me, can still sing along to, were just as much a part of the enjoyment.

Although hundreds of animated series have been created over the years, these iconic ones – with anime influence – are undeniably among the best cartoons created back then. While some fans enjoy developing manga and conceptual drawings of these characters, there are others who prefer to showcase their creativity through sculpting. Clay artist
