| In 1986, Mattel,
Inc. was searching for a toy line to put on the shelves for the Christmas season. Sadly,
they chose to rush the release of BraveStarr. This action proved to be
devastating for everything related to BraveStarr and the future of Filmation. The action figures were some of the most detailed of their time.
Some argued that they were too big, and children couldn't include them when playing with
other action figures. This is true, but they would work right along side of Spawn
today.
This is a guide to the first and only series of BraveStarr
figures to be released. The guide includes pictures of every figure.
Mattel was working on a second series of BraveStarr
figures. Here are scans of the never-released figures.
These are some various articles that were published in the
eighties. Some of them are pertaining to the figures and Mattel.
Box art is the art used on the packaging of the figures.
Here is a scan of one of the images used.
Comics were included with the figures in the form of a
newsletter. These also combined to make one huge poster.
Mattel sent out newsletters from their mascot Captain M. Here
are a few scans of some of the newsletters published during BraveStarr's
run.
In Germany the figures were packaged differently. Take a
look.
These are a few interviews with people associated with BraveStarr
done by myself and others.
