The Last Star Fighter Prototypes Found

[Makernaut]

All I truly remember about "The Last Starfighter" is Catherine Mary Stewart.

Ah, Night of the Comet... She really had lovely eyes and a vibrant screen presence.

^ What those two said.

Neat find, of course. I do remember the movie. I don’t recall being too interested in it. Was it a popular enough movie to support an action figure line? That’s a sincere question, since I don’t remember.

I don't think they would have sold well to be honest. The film wasn't a huge hit, although it's fondly remembered, and was a landmark in CGI effects. Time has been kind to it, but 1984 saw interest waning in space figures of this scale.

^ Gotcha. Thanks.

As I said, I certainly remember it well, but I didn’t find it very exciting. I mean that I didn’t want to go home and play The Last Star Fighter.
