    I always thought they looked fantastic, but I never saw them in a real "store", just a hardware store.
    Zombie? Vampire? Evil clown?!? Yes, please.

        great looking figures. Highly underrated.

        It always fascinates me that for every Transformers and GI Joe type "synergy" that Marvel Comics had with toy and animation companies, there were a dozen other forgotten toylines like Crystar that they helped to co-usher in terms of concepts and storylines.

        Then there are the comics that oulive their toylines... like ROM and Micronauts.

          I was a big MOTU, Crystar, & Sectaurs fan. I always thought that Crystar was not only inventive but very well-designed, compared to other Remco lines.

            I like Crystar, but for the life of me don't see how they're "Mego-like".

                    Love that line. Had all the figures except for the castle. I've noticed lately that line has been getting some love on ebay with the high prices their bringing.

                      Hmmmm....

                      I liked 'em, but thought it was weird that Crystar was so much taller than Warbow, since Warbow was the tallest member of the team in the comic.

                        I had every issue of the comic book, but I never saw any of the figures in any store, and I looked for them.

                          I only had the wizards and a bunch of Lava Men I got on clearance for use with my Galoob STTNG.

                            Recently found one at G-will. Figure no accessories. Not much on articulation. Vaguely remembered it so I put it on ebay for 99 cents and sold for $14+.

                              i loved the line and the comic(sometimes forget the comic came first) the art and covers on those books were fantastic for the day.
