* WriteWhoYouKnow: Aside from the obvious ''Franchise/IndianaJones'' homage, Johnny Thunder is actually based upon LEGO designer Niels Milan Pedersen, who took up paleontology as a hobby and also has a [[BadassMustache mustache]] and [[FedoraOfAsskicking fedora]] like Johnny. This was [[https://twitter.com/justinramsden/status/1184509547127422978 confirmed]] by LEGO senior model designer Justin Ramsden.

* CowboyBebopAtHisComputer: The official LEGO books '' Standing Small: A Celebration of 30 Years of the LEGO Minifigure'' and ''LEGO Minifigure Ultimate Sticker Collection'' got several facts wrong, which surely does not help this theme's already infamous name confusion problems. Slyboots is named "Slyboot" and "Lord Sam Sinister"[[note]]while he was originally called Sam Sinister in North America, he never had the Lord title; that title only belonged to Baron von Barron[[/note]], with the sticker book also calling him formerly "Mr. Hates" and referring to him as the villain from the ''Orient Expedition'' subtheme. Gabarro and Alexia Sinister both fall victim to SpellMyNameWithAnS and are named "Gabarros" and "Alexis Sinister", respectively. The "Good Guys" section also claims that the heroes used the All Terrain Trapper, which was actually one of the villains' vehicles.

Hi Everyone,

Many thanks for all your support over the years with the very first Lego Minifig demo test we did in 2003! At the time we were quite proud of the work and as you can see today in movies and TV, it's our hope that a little bit of the groundbreaking work our studio did in developing a CGI Minifig paid off. Due to changes in our corporate website for a new project, "Johnny Thunder" can now be accessed here: http://theskonkworks.com/2012/01/johnny-thunder/. After reading a little bit of the history of the project, you can click on the Youtube link at the bottom of the page.

Again, thanks for all of the support and keep up your love of Lego!

Cheers,

Michael
