"Unorthodox."

Although I read Crystar most of its run (despite, I think, not having #6 right away!) I never had Crystar action figures. They were smaller, like 3.75 inch or so; so they would not have scaled with the Sectaurs, who would hit the shelves two years later in 1984, and also had a brief Marvel comic adaptation. You may have seen at Wal-Mart, there have been recent reissues from the Nacelle Company: I hope those are doing well for them, even if most of the stuff I've bought from Nacelle was at a markdown. Still, if they reissue any of the Sectaurs incect companion/mounts, I'm so there: they were basically fuzzy puppets, with a battery-powered wing mechanism. They look like remarkably doofy fun, and my hands do get cold sometimes. (Cutaway to me typing with a bug monster on each hand...Hey, they are up for pre-order!)
