By 1984, all of the toy lines Remco had called staples in the 1970s like utility belts and helicopters were long gone as the company dove head first into the crowded marketplace of 1980s Action Figures
Batman and Superman had been replaced by less known DC characters like Warlord and Sgt Rock, the company experimented with home grown figure concepts like The Sarge Team, Warrior Beasts and Pirates of the Galaxseas.
Their big launch for the year was the futuristic Man Tech line and there wasn't a single whisper about Krystar to be heard.

Wow, thanks to you I just learned something! I remember having a "My Little Pony" knockoff when I was little, a pink unicorn with white hooves, but I had long forgotten where it came from or what it was. Turns out it was a Remco Pretty Pet Happy Unicorn! :)
