If you've played LEGO's new MMO, LEGO Universe, you'll know that Johnny Thunder makes an appearance. However, he's also gone through a total of five designs from the Alpha Test in December 2009 to the final release.

http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/james ... sign_2.bmpA very small modification to Design 1. Johnny's mustache and beard are now smaller.

http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/james ... sign_4.bmpThe shirt and pants textures were finished and put on. This was the new design for Johnny Thunder. However, topics on the Beta Message Boards started appearing complaining about how Johnny looked so different. I also sent an email to NetDevil about the new design. NetDevil listened to the complaints, and updated him one more time...
