Anybody remember the SWATKats?

Let me tell ya, back in 1995 and/or 1996, my younger bro thought these two and their show were so badass! I'm not sure if I liked them as much as he did back then, but I did like them in a way. Up until last year or the year before, I never realized how awesome they were. And they're STILL awesome! Razor's my favorite of the duo. And he gets paired with Callie Briggs, the best female in the show!

Yep. I remember it too.

And yes, is quite a show. With not only some good hero characters, but an interesting rogues gallery as well.

DrSpengler 03-20-2007 08:39 PM

Oh yeah.

I even wrote a retrospective article about it not too long ago.

I never watched this as a kid, but I managed to hear about it somewhere and lo, the Internet had episodes for me to watch! While it's a little lighter than shows like Gargoyles, it's just plain cool. I mean, vigilante cats in a jet? Pure gold. :D

Oh, and the first line Razor/Jake spoke almost broke my face, I grinned so big. Heehee, Donatello... :P I can't even pick which of the two I like more yet. It's been fun watching the episodes so far - can't wait to see some more.

I vaguely remember watching this show as a child and I remember it was pretty cool. Interesting concept, for sure.

One of my top five animated series's ever! :)

VaughnMichael 03-20-2007 11:42 PM

awsome show!

CudleyCowlick 03-21-2007 06:00 PM

Yes, and the best thing is that Boomerang has been showing SWATKats, the Radical Squadron late on weeknights, I think it's M-F @ 11:30, or at least close to that. I was watching a particulary epic episode starring the Past Master and it got me thinking, wasn't there some SK toys at one point or another? I seem to remember the Jet but maybe I'm just stoned, as they say.
Searches on Ebay the last couple of days haven't turned up anything but the VHS, video games, and some random memorabilia, did these get made or am I just wishing they were?

SWATKats Toys - They DO Exist!
 
I thought this was exciting enough to merit a new thread. I found a closed Ebay auction here that proves I didn't just imagine them. I still don't know if this is all of them or not, though the seller describes this as a "complete set".

Toonami Tom 03-21-2007 06:15 PM

I had T-Bone and Razor from when I was a kid. I sold them a couple years ago on ebay. I'm not sure I should have.:ohwell:

That's great (the show is on). But a big bummer too, as I don't get Boomerang.

I recall some toys. Don't think they had any vehicles, just a handful of figures. Having T-Bone, Razor, Dark Kat and Dr. Viper. There were also going to be figures of the Metallikats, but they apparently never came to be (I only saw them in magazines advertising the figure line a while before it's release).

Jon 03-21-2007 06:21 PM

Yep. Mentioned of it in the "Remember Swat Kats?" thread, too.

I had (and still have among my MOC figures) Dark Kat and Dr. Viper.

MrOldSchool 03-25-2007 02:14 AM

Hmmm, I wouldn't mind owning those action figures, but no way I'm buying from that guy! Look how much they cost!!!!!

Try Youtube. They've got a lot of episodes up there. :)

Yo, what's with you and theme songs? :lol:

Anarky 03-25-2007 03:44 PM

I think that show is the reason why I am an animated-TV fan forever. I remember rushing home from school to see that show back in 1997 or 98, when it first aired on Cartoon Network over here. It was so awesome. I still remember both theme songs in my head... this show was so good. I miss it.

Masked Ninja 03-25-2007 08:53 PM

Oh, I wholeheartedly agree on the theme songs... as well as the soundtrack in general. It's good stuff.

CudleyCowlick 03-26-2007 05:21 PM

Definetely one of the greatest theme songs ever. I found it on napster ages ago and it still makes it onto the occasional mix cd.
It's right up there with the Transformers movie and the second (come on in, it's time to party) version of the Garfield & Friends intro.

VaughnMichael 03-26-2007 05:24 PM

they seriously dont make good theme songs anymore...wait actully...do they even make theme songs anymore more...oh wait yes...I've burnt them all of my mind..*twitches* @ tmnt 2k3's them songs *shakes in corner*
