This is the first I'd ever heard of the Action Figures! Probably better for my wallet that they didn't come out, as they'd be at a premium now and I'd have to have them.

LoL, I was about to drop a line from the movie, then remembered I was going to misquote from Enemy Mine, not Starfighter.

Anyways, I remember that movie, and fantasizing that one of my fav arcade games would talk to me personally and tell me to help them with their cause. Like Xevious, for example. Heh.

Man I woulda totally killed for that Gunstar! That's too bad.

Not that the film hasn't had its share of fans. I myself have a fondness for it. But then again, I also liked The Sword & The Sorcerer. Dammit! Where were the toys for that?!

Oh, well.. Here's hoping that Clash of the Titans will give us some awesomeness of toyhood.

Action figures had the fab five: Star Wars, G.I. Joe,Transformers, D.C./Marvel Superheroes and He-man.

As far as I know, nothing else has ever come close. Although I really dug the movie as a kid and would have loved the Gunstar to play with.

Arkonbey- That's a really strong point on the Star Wars methodology, maybe only Lord of the Rings make it work in the last few years.

And so the world misses its chance to have a Robert Preston action figure, since the Victor/Victoria toy line was also a flop.

screw figures! I'm still waiting for a 1/48 scale model kit of the GunStar.

This seemed like an ill-inspired toy line. All they needed to do was do GunStar and figures of the main characters and it would have sold huge. They just wrongly assumed that the Star Wars model would carry on to other sci-fi.

You know what, it never has. Movie after movie released the whole cast of characters and nobody cares like they did for Star Wars.
