So what happened to those Last Starfighter Prototypes anyway?

[RSS]

You may recall that we had featured the amazing, never produced figures from Galoob's proposed Last Starfighter toy line a while back on this blog.



Well, they've been sold but the good thing is, you can visit them anytime you like.



I was contacted by Mike, the owner of Batcave Comics and Toys in Santa Rosa California. The last starfighter figures are now on permanent display all together at his shop for everyone to enjoy. He bought them from the original owner who was just about to separate them.

So, if you're in the area, I highly advise you to visit Batcave comics and toys and visit a little bit of toy history.

I would have been all over those toys when that movie came out

Great display. I enjoy the film, I've always been a fan of Robert Preston.

I'm glad those didn't get split up.

I'm surprised there wasn't a ReAction release of those.

Talk about a grail item. I loved The Last Starfighter... and these are so charming... happy to see they are in good hands.

This is just wonderful. When you combine a cheery hearted, well remembered 80s sci fi with figures that almost, but didn't get made, they become more beloved than if they probably had been produced.

I'm curious about the display stand... Is it custom made for this display, or was it part of the original toy fair display? It's really unique.

Those are really amazing.

I love what they were doing with them.

The prototypes were highly creative.

It would have been something if they made a toy Starfighter.

There were many good things that could take from the movie.

[Bruce Banner]

Great to see that those are on display so everyone can appreciate them.

[The Nawd]

Very glad they're in good hands.

That is so cool.
If I weren't on the other side of the continent, I would try to get up there to check them out, and thank the owner for keeping the set together, and displaying it for all to see.
