The Saga of Crystar Crystal Warrior I stumbled on this great toy fair ad for Crystar today and it reminded me of the first time I saw the line in a Liesure World as a kid (a store that rarely carried action figures BTW).

Remco and Marvel teamed up on this and it seemed like it would have been a big hit but this was the age of animation mixed with toys, so the saga was markedly short, Crystar doesn't appear in the 1984 Remco catalog. I love showing this picture, from the 1983 Remco showroom, note the proof cards behind our hero. Wonder where these costumes are now? The 1983 Remco Toys Catalog featuring Crystar Labels: 1983, Crystar, Remco, Toy Love
