Shuttle Guns are small hovercraft type vehicles that are fully armed. Only two types were produced, a Thundercats and a Mutants Shuttle Guns. They are each chromed and come with handlebars to allow steering. There is also a back fin that can move side to side which allows the vehicle to turn (if it were real). They seem to have been created by the comapny PlayFul on the basis of having more vehicles for the line. They are unique only to Argentina and are actually really cool.

    Of the Shuttle Guns, the gift set versions are the best. Similar in design package of the Mumm-Ra w/ Luna Lasher, the figure being placed on the vehicle and placed in a clamshell package with a huge bubble. The Thundercats logo is prominent on both sides of the package, but no pictures of the other characters. Mummra comes only with his dagged in this piece.

    These pieces are fully licensed by Telepictures Corporation and Ted Wolf. These marking appear on the backers and on the inner feet of the toys. The quality of the plastics used is less than the quality of all the other world wide released figures. This is because that Argentina does not place such high quality plastics in all their toys. They use lesser quality, but still good enough that it won't break or be anything close to cheap looking. They do their best to cut costs, such as re-using of parts in different figures. Other Argentina toys such as Voltron, He-Man, Super Powers, & Star Wars that are also fully licensed, also are made of lesser plastic and show signs of cutting corners to cut costs. Overall though these figures are not of poor quality and licensed. If any one tells you that these are Bootlegs or Fakes, they are completly wrong.
