I want my Centauri & Greg figures. Plus, the ship would have been a great vehicle, with "death blossom" action. Damn you galoob, for destroying my childhood. Damn you all to hell!!!

The aliens definatley look great, would have been cool to get two to a pack as well!

Ya I like the aliens, the human figures look like garbage though. Would have been a great line to collect though.

That is definately a line i would have been into, funnily enough Star Wars figures seemed to cover so many film franchises for me as a child.
Willow, Indiana Jones, Last Starfighter, Critters, Jayce and the Wheeled warriors all got the Star wars treatment. You could use Star Wars for almost any franchise as there was always certain figures that had a look to them that covered other movies or cartoons.

Okay, most of us would probably have bought at least the aliens as kids. But, would you collect the line now if they made modern versions of these figures? I probably wouldn't because although I enjoyed the film its been off my radar for so long I might not have the desire to purchase merchandise based on the film now.

Cool. Last Starfighter was one of those films I always thought should have had a figure line as a kid; nice to know why it didn't happen.

i would totally buy the mom/possible girlfriend!
it's so hideous, it's almost amusing...

[ryan0001]

My vote is that's the mom even though making a figure of the girlfriend would make much more sense. Isn't it weird how they were so inconsistent with how they did the bodies throughout this line. Maybe these protos were pretty far from production. No one can tell me they don't want the figures of Centauri and the squid starfighter guy.

Top row, far right... is that Col. Sanders?

I love "The Last Starfighter" and sadly there's not much merchandise out there. I wish they'd made a toy line. I want a Gunstar.

I was obsessed with this movie as a kid. I remember completely wearing out the VHS version I had. The gunstar would have been awesome, but I'll admit I only would have bought the aliens. I remember trying to make a gunstar several times out of legos and it never really panned out properly.

Only action figures? They din produce the gunstar??
