    Classic 3 3/4 Tomlands Starroid Raiders/Space Raiders/Space Fighters/Space People

    Man I love these guys... I had these as a kid along with Arco Space War/Play Kid figures and I am just getting back into them... They are just awesome! These are what your Grandparents(the clueless ones, not the good ones) or Aunts and Uncles would bring instead of StarWars figures... these were so "also ran" I love it! It just boggles my mind, that they were so good for knock offs! I lOOOOOVE these guys... anybody else gots love for some 3 3/4 Tomlands?!

    I saw the cases everywhere... but this is the first time I knew there were actual figures to go in them.

      This was just my KO backdrop... they are not related, except tangentially in the world of Blatant Star Wars Knock Offs But it's funny how some of the art work looks like the Tomland sculpts!

        I never had these as a kid, nor did I know they existed as a kid. I'm considering collecting these, but they're expensive- at least on ebay.
        I am more than machine. More than man. More than a fusion of the two.

          Ok, so why did the light blue guy on the far left get a different body and legs from the rest of them?

            Nice collection. I wasn't even aware of these as a child. Never saw them.
            You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

              Hmmmm....

              I had tons of them. They were cheap and readily available when I was a kid. (Especially the glow ones.) The 8" ones were tougher to find. One of the things I currently have in the works are 8" scaled heads for the characters they only made in 3.5" scale.

                I never saw these before but that case looks a lot like the one I had as a kid.

                  There were several with that body style... they seem to be tougher to find, and I only have

                    don't recall seeing these as a kid, but I think they are great. I am especially fond of the glow items.

                      Didnt see these as a kid but they look great. Tomland made some of the best knockoffs. These would have been fun to play along with a Star Wars collection.

                        I never saw these guys as a kid either, the only Tomland I ever saw or had was the 8" Cyclops. The head sculpts of the two blue guys on the left looks very similar to the Japanese robot Mach Baron, I'd doubt that it's just a coincidence.
