    A double shot of generic Star Wars goodness


    I can't get enough Star Wars rip offs and the page above has one of the best, Starroid Raiders action figures by Tomland. The Space Case is another cool "Me too" type product.


    Star Raiders were a Mego type varaiation on the theme, also by Tomlands, many of the characters had vaguely familiar looking faces. For more info on them, check out this site.

        Can anyone tell what the figures are in the case in that ad? Some look like the Tomlands but there are others too. Any ideas?

          There is some Buck Rogers and BSG in there as well.

            Great pic, I love the Tomland figures in all their shapes and sizes. Starroid Raiders at less than $7 for 6, if only I could buy them for that now.

            I can see three Tomlands and I think some, if not all, of the others may are from Buck Rogers.

                  I haven't seen either of these particular images before. Which catalogs are they from?
                  I like how they tried to illustrate the glowing feature on the 8 inchers.

                    I think JC Penney, I scanned before my break so they're not fresh in my mind.

                      Cool, I don't think I've ever seen an ad for the Glow in the Dark Star Raiders!
