Nice collection! Best ive seen for the line.

I had Crystar and warbow along with the comics when they first dropped 70s and 80s were golden times for new and radical toys

Those firepit ideas are epic!

I never saw any Crystar toys in the store when I was a kid, not one, but my neighbor had everything Crystar. I could swear he had a green dragon with a bow-legged dragon-rider Warbow with bandolero and crossbow.

I had about 6 of this figures and the dragon when i was a kid. It is good to see the complete collection for the first time in a video. They look great with the castle in the background.

Magnificent collection!

Great vintage set! Thanks TH!

You have the best Crystar collection I have seen! As a kid I had Crystar, Warbow, Moltar, and the small catapult set. Got them new for Xmas, never heard of them before, but merged them with my Tron figs. I have never seen either of those 2 large catapults in person, or the castle. Thanks for sharing!

As soon as you said "broken wings" the song already started in my mind 😁

Wow I kinda remember this as a kid but must've forgotten till I watched this. I got the recent marvel legends crystar release and it's really cool. I got the whole wave to build void but this was the jewel of the wave (pun intended)

I got the collection of figures one Christmas. I liked Crystar but the rest of the figures got little playtime. I'd grade this a C- as an 80s toyline. I remember them being sold at Benny's which was kind of an automotive slash mini department store.

had all of these when i was a kid, my aunt and uncle got them for me as a birthday and christmas gifts cause they thought they looked neat. they were right. used to play with them with my vintage motu figures like they crossed over with each other. good times.

Great rundown! I saw many items I wasn’t aware of. As I kid I had Crystar, Moltan Man, and the blue dragon. I was a little older by this time, maybe 11 or 12, so spent my own money on these from my local TG&Y. Since it was made in a Marvel comic, the 6-7” Marvel Legends current line of figures just opened pre-orders for a new Crystar figure which I ordered from Hasbro Pulse. I was perfectly satisfied that they didn’t include a free Prisma Crystal this time around. 😀

Regrettable, I knew, even back in 1983, that this toyline was more of a fit for my $10 a week allowance 😢. However, since no cartoon pushed it, kids like myself sought out Masters of the Universe and GI Joe ARAH 😮! Castle Greyskull felt so enchanted. Also, The Pit captured the renaissance of the modern American fighting army. Thank you for the video tour of the Saga of Crystar playset! I'll collect whatever I can afford now to make up for my mourning worship.😅

I remember seeing these on the pegs and shelves at Lionel Playworld. They never interested me and I never got any. They were next to Dragon Riders of the Styx.

Woooow. I remember having this back in the day. What seems like waaay back in the day. This really takes me back. Great video

Ur collection is outstanding and put some crystals in that wizards mixing bowl for the love of god.

Had this as a kid in the 80s & purchased a mint on sealed card figure as an adult that I still have to this day! LOVED him as a kid! Never knew much of his origin prior to buying, but always loved translucent figures. I wished they remade him as a 7". I know a guy tried to remake him and Moltar called Working Class Villains/Backyard Legends yrs ago, but never completed his orders. Was very disappointed that he didn't complete. But hope maybe Ramen Toys picks up this line to redo! This line & Blackstar!

Yep, Glenn Danzig did take the skull design on the cover of Issue #8 and made it his own band's logo. Speaking of logos, at the 10:45 minute mark, the solid teal colored weapon on the far right of the rack is reminiscent to the "Tri-Ryche" --- the symbol/emblem used by Seattle hard rock band Queensryche. Their self-titled EP album was originally released in 1982, the same year as Crystar.

The no name guy is a Crystar trooper.🖖💜👌

I do remember Crystar figures on the shelves back in the day...and I remember not liking them. I still don't like them; that lava dragon lol. But I can appreciate seeing obscure toy lines like this.

Very cool see-through figures, thanks Mike for covering Crystar, something that I unfortunately didn't find back as a kid in the early 80s. I had Tron back then I remember. The swords and shields, these remind me slightly of The Other World line of bendable figures and monsters which I had some of.

My brother had Crystar and the yellow-coated Ogeode with all the accessories

It seems in the US lots of vintage toys are still relatively easy to find with the country being so big, and lots of vintage toys existing in such vastness but in the uk you don’t see crystar, blackstar, computer warriors, starriors, silver hawks, air raiders or sky commanders very often, they are all very difficult to collect here

If he actually read the comics, instead of just displaying them, he'd know why Feldspar is half crystal and half magma. He's the Regent of the kingdom, and uncle if the brothers. He has the properties of both sides, to show his neutrality in their conflict.

Mystery guy is named Stallax. His injury was a bit plot point of the series. He came with the catapult and also the dragon.

So cool to see all these, but funny that he didn't know what any of the items are. Where would you even get rubber bands in this world? Can you buy them? Do you have to win them in a duel?

18:40 Thundercats style

The playability of the sets is endless...until a part goes missing or broken

Back in the day, I used to work at a video store, and a Mom came in to return a video, saying it wasn't suitable for her kids. It was G-rated, so I asked "what's wrong with it?" And she said that it had crystals in it. Apparently some religious people don't like crystals. Indoctrinating their kids into a bronze-age cult is no problem, but they draw the line at harmless minerals. Maybe that explains the fact that I've never ever heard of "Crystar" before.

if you had to guess, cost on your collection? (Unless some were trade)

Good cheap toys

Question is retro make a came back 🤔

I don’t remember these

good review bro this and blackstar are crap... but so much fun to see now and remember, and... we did nt know what was good then, we surely wanted it all to try at least in 82, I hooked on Joes, almost went eagle force... surely a better choice than this, but was 13 then, and wanted more mature stuff by then, saved by the bell, D I had crossbows and catapults which still surely beats this! so now you know... good show bro

You’re not gonna launch it cuz you’re not a psychopath! 😂😂 WTH?! 👍😂
