Electroman- with STAR Team comic- Back cover add
This Electroman is a Mego custom.
And my original STAR Team comic.
Both Electroman and STAR Team were produced by IDEAL.
Back in the day I loved and still love the STAR Team !
They were IDEAL's answer to Star Wars.
The Knight of Darkness has a Strong Darth Vader style.
Zem-21 is sort like C-3PO. The red and blue Zeroids with their
new for STAR Team round domes on top are the closest they could get to R2-D2.
I believe Lucas tried to sue IDEAL. But lost.
Because the Zeroids and Captain Action came out before
Star Wars. The Knight's body is a Captain Action body and boots with Flash Gordon's gun .
This little comic was the only information about the STAR Team. Other than any info on their packages.
The comic was a give away promotional item . In the toy aisle with the STAR Team toys I assume. I just remember I had it.
It has two full page adds for Electroman in it. Another IDEAL toy.
Since this is all there was about the STAR Team, I associated Electroman with the STAR Team. I assumed he was the human character that fought the Knight of darkness. Along with Zem-21 and the Zeroids. Like Flash Gordon or Luke Skywalker.
But I never saw him. And my Parents never bought him for me.
Then as an adult collector I have gotten an original Electroman. But he is 16 inches tall !
Which is an odd scale match. The Knight is 12 inches .
Zogg as a monster might be acceptable as a biggee.
So as an adult, I have dreamed of having 8 inch Mego customs of all these characters except the Zeroids.
Just to have them all on the same scale.
I have seen customs of the Knight and Zem-21. Once the smaller heads are obtained, the outfits I could put together.
But Electroman, no, too much for me to do there !
So I am very happy to get this great custom of him !
There is also the last STAR Team Member ; Kent and his Star Cruiser.
He is a human in a red body suit. He seems like he was the 2nd wave of offerings for STAR Team.
I never knew about him until adulthood.
He wasn't on the STAR Team packages. or even in this little comic. But Electroman was, even if only in the adds.
Yes, I would include Kent in the Mego customs for this line.
Just because he is part of the line. :)
