INDEPENDENT COMICS: S.T.A.R.S. Team

Toyfinity

HISTORY:
So you're a company that made Captain Action and you need a new idea to capitalize on, but you do not want to reinvent the wheel. What do you do? Simple! Start with figures that are based on the same body types (Cpt. Action and Action Boy), slightly represent a blockbuster movie such as "Star Wars", and re-release some previously made toys with a new name based on the ZEROIDS toys of the time. The Knight of Darkness is just that. He is a Darth Vader rip-off using the Cpt. Action body in black. Zem-21 is a JJ Armes Body. Lucas sued but because the S.T.A.R Team name had been used by Ideal in the early seventies (mostly role play Space toys) and everything had been somewhat recycled, Ideal was allowed to continue. The Star Hawk is reused from the ZEROIDS action figure line.
