My kid loves it even though it only lasted 13 eps. His third fav old schoolish cartoon. I only had two of the toys Tendrill and D'compose. D'compose ate many a gi joe fiq back then and only snake eyes could free them from his chest.

Starriors also never managed to capture a much of a market even though today the toys have their place in 80s collectables. i remember having the 3rd issue of the mini-series i kinda liked it. unfortunatly for the Starriors would be comic series the 4 issue mini didn't turn into an ongoing series despite the awesome Bill Sienkiewicz covers and Akin n' Garvey inks inside.Shlomo Ben Hungstienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07238927958290618109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2178894507761299440.post-17218372620492853962014-03-01T13:01:16.641-08:002014-03-01T13:01:16.641-08:00back in the day i atually liked the Inhumanoids ca...back in the day i atually liked the Inhumanoids cartoon. i didn't care for the toys but i did actually pick up the comic book because of the cartoon. it got cancelled after only 4 issues so even though i was kinda into it back then it indeed did go no where.

His stuff (on his site) is very well put-together and he has some nice graphic-design skills, for real. Looks like he has carved out a nice little niche for himself, too. <br />That Micronaut thing actually was for/in a Micronaut fan-magazine... So maybe it was being sarcastic. <br />Whatever. -I'm already done with his site.<br />Moving on...

-H...I agree with rt- he has never read any of it. <br />-He just thinks he's being so cool and funny being all snarky and trashing something he has never really heard of- thinking no one else has ever really heard of it so they'll think it's funny too. <br />You see that kind of shit on the internet all the time... You come across lists of people trashing old toy-lines or comic-characters with a "Look at this shit! Can you BELIEVE how dumb it is/looks" attitude. It's sad.<br /><br />Or, and this is just a slim possibility- maybe he is joking? -Being sarcastically simplistic like ha-ha??? <br /><br />At any rate- you know how much I love my Shogun Warriors! And Air Raiders, Inhumanoids, and The Visionaries all rule too, Shlomo! I have their comics as well as toys- and watched all their cartoons. So watch it, buddy! (Okay, Air Raiders never had a cartoon- but their animated commercials were AWESOME! THE POWER IS IN THE AIR!)<br /><br />As for ROM? He's okay...

I finally started to read Mirconauts only this year by picking up the first 5 issues. That Transformers Univere issue 4 in the photo is great. That was the last of the 4 issue series. I loved these they went deep into the Transformers.Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05488218759265566336noreply@blogger.com
