Like Xevious, for example. Heh.<br /><br />Man I woulda totally killed for that Gunstar!

I myself have a fondness for it. But then again, I also liked <i>The Sword & The Sorcerer</i>. Dammit! Where were the toys for that?!<br /><br />Oh, well..

All they needed to do was do GunStar and figures of the main characters and it would have sold huge. They just wrongly assumed that the Star Wars model would carry on to other sci-fi. <br /><br />You know what, it <em>never</em> has. Movie after movie released the whole cast of characters and nobody cares like they did for Star Wars.Arkonbeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11056581569235023216noreply@blogger.com
