I want to get into this line but I have so many outstanding ones to complete already. I do have the DVD set of the cartoons and like watching them with my youngest daughter. She loves Thundercats, Blackstar and He-man.

I have a question. Has anyone ever seen any protos for this line. I ask because I was going through my Tomarts action figure encyclopedia and stopped to look at the blackstar figs. The first series figs look different to me. Also they look like they had no bubble and were just attached to the card by ties. Does anyone know anything about these is this how they were first slated to look like and be released or is this me taking a weird view on the obvious. Well heres a scan of the page let me know. Sorry it doesnt get any bigger

I'm not sure if this has been asked but do some of the Laser Light figures like Ice Palace Guard or Tongo have differing back packs? I know that many of the 2nd series LL's that came with capes have a two pronged cape attachment that fit into the two holes in their shoulders vs.the 1 pronged cape attachments that fit into the one hole on the non-LL series 1 figures. Even the laser light gargo's wings are far different from his series one counterpart. I'm having a hard time completing LL Ice Palace Guard and LL tongo as all I really need is their backpacks.I have extra sets of their packs from series one but they don't have any real way of attaching them to their backs. Also does anyone have an extra laser light bazooka for Kadray as he is another who's accesories are different from series 1 non-LL Kadray and a Klone Cloud Cat tail. Any accessories period is helpful, or the Ice Catle and John Blackstar's spaceship, lol I think I smell a list coming...

I have no idea for the Lazer Light Palace guard backpack (I also looking for one) yet for LL Gargo the weapon rack, very similar to the first one, attach to his arm, making a big bracer. The small weapon fitting in are the same.

I believe the LL Palace Guard has a small green waist attachment with a clip instead of a backpack. I will update the pic in the archive this Tuesday so you guys can see it. Dr. Bo does the LL Gargo arm clip look much different than the regular version backpack or is it just the clip? Just want to know if I need to update that pic to or not.

Here, I took some pic of both serie 1 and serie 2 Lazer Light Gargo with their respective weapon belts. If you need photo for the archive I'll be happy to help:

Wow Dr Bo you are my herooooo.... That picture is so helpful in so many ways. That is a major difference in accessories I'm surprised no one has ever mentioned. But isn't this Tongo? I thought Gargo was the orange guy with long demon ears. I'm pretty sure. Also chad can't wait to see the updated Blackstar Ice Palace Guard pic. This all helps tremendously. I will probably end up with some extra accessories now, lol.

Doc, you really have two great figures there!!!
Hey Ghoul if you are asking to off load the Trobbits give me a holler, unless someone else needs them first. I do have two of them already. I got mine through trades so I wonder too, if you have the whole set what price do you ask? I thought there was one of them that was rare, but I am no expert on Blackstar by any means.

I got these stickers of Blackstar characters free when I bought some of the figures last month and I thought they were cool cause they are not only vintage puffy stickers but the actual images are not of the cartoon characters but of the Action Figures instead. Great advertising technique imo.

Cool stickers! I remember seeing those stuck to a buddy's trapper keeper back in the day. Had the little dirt rings around 'em and everything. I was really into Blackstar as a kid, and still really like them to this day. For the most part, the figures don't seem to all that age. I've seen a lot of flaky/discolored paint as well as a few broken appendages all still on card. Finding a first issue John Blackstar with nice GOLD wrist bands has been a a real natch, and the hunt continues...

Those stickers are pretty cool, strange that they did it that way. I just got my carded palace guard in and he does come with the green wristbrace and not the backpack. Will get a revised pic of this up in the Blackstar section Tues or Wed (was super busy last week and never got around to it).

Rif, Gossamer and Terra are the hard ones to find. Got my Terra for $20 moc last month and he seems to be the hardest to find of the three. Have seen him go for more in the past though.

Man! This is a long thread! I have a small Blackstar collection. Just a John Blackstar and trobbit, Overlord, Kadray, and a whole mess of demons. I'm pretty happy with it. I'll have to see what extras I have-I'll put them in the Marketplace when I dig 'em up. I know I have a LL Tongo, and I think Neptul's cape and trident. Irridecent (sp? glow-in-the-dark) weapons rock!

Well, my Blackstar collection is not big: my only piece is an old played-with whole-green Warlock with a loose wing!!!

Well I finally took the time last week to piece together my broken Blackstar Ice Castle. The top tower and base were broken into tiny bits. It pretty much took an entire afternoon and it looks like I am missing a few tiny pieces. I am pretty happy how it turned out though it is missing a small piece here and there. It will have to do as Im not going to try and get another unbroken one through the mail, unless of course i can find one locally. There are some new pics of it in the Blackstar section of the archive.

Turnbolt, I know you went through the same issue a few years back, just wondering if you have any suggestions on what to use to fill in and smooth over the small holes (so I can them touch them up with paint). The largest hole is about half the size of a dime - nothing to big.

Back in the day I remember my mom bought the Warlock dragon ... I was very excited because she told me was the one that appeared in the cartoons I used to watch, to my concern it was this beautiful dragon ... but wait, she was in the States back in the 80´s she forgot it in my aunt house and I remeber that this parent went almost insane when she saw the glow fangs and the horrendous expression on this dragon ... she thought was black magic ... hahaha ... this was very cool, she told my mom and we she explained what it was ... so nobody gets hurt, I still have the Warlock figure ... do you have great memories like mine ...

Okay. I finally completed my loose Blackstar collection. Just got my Mara and Kadray.... I officially have all 13 figures now and am very geeked. Here's what is bugging me.... I was told the Mara was 100% complete, but when I got it, I noticed she had a peg hole in her back with some paint wear.....hmmmmmm. So I did some tooling on this forum and found one picture where it looked like she had some thing blue? on her back-----What the #@$%#!!! So, does anyone know if she comes with a backback? ? Thanks in advance
