The Saga of Crystar Crystal Warrior

[Hedji]

I like the Crystar toys. I think they are really cool looking. Translucent plastic is one of my top toy gimmicks. Plus as an added bonus they are in perfect scale with LJN's D&D line.

Yes indeed! Like the Tron figures by Tomy for example. These were so colorful and creative. I remember wanting the toys, but for whatever reason (probably too busy with Star Wars), I never got any. But I remember the comic ads fondly.

Just look at that gorgeous painting. That's the toy artwork I miss sorely. Hand painted, color-saturated goodness! I love this!

Yes indeed! Like the Tron figures by Tomy for example.

Totally! Those are awesome. Translucent AND glow in the dark. Doesn't get much cooler.

So the ad mentions TV spots and a Cable special. Was anything ever actually produced?

[PNGwynne]

I have several of these. The Crystar figure was the best. It's hard to argue about a crystal figure with a crystal sword, shield, and helmet. That being said, the toy line was a bit chintzy.

I love the design and the play concepts of this line, but the quality was not quite there. Ripe for reissue/updating/kickstarter IMO.

Comic Books in the Media: The Saga of Crystar

On my site I have on of the commericals and the Robot Chicken episode. I have to two color books in, I just need to scan them in so I can place them on the site.

The Commercial is the only animation of Crystar out there.

my younger brother had a bunch of them, I was a little too old for them. I actually think I have a few of them, or parts of them, in my "don't know what to do with" box

Cool! I had all the issues of the Marvel Comics series as a kid, but I never, ever saw any of the toys in the stores anywhere, even though I looked for them.

Thanks for the link to the commercial. It helped me discover I've always mispronounced the toy's name. Sure, I knew it was related to crystals, but, in my head, I always said the first syllable to rhyme with "eye" for some reason.

This was one of those lines I saw as a kid and had to have. I thought it was great.... Comic was horrible, but toys were cool. Much like Megos Eagle Force, I was crushed when it didn't succeed.

This is a classic toy line I always wanted and never got
