All parts: Crystar (Remco)

Helmet, sword, shield: Crystar (Remco)
Prisma-Crystal: Crystal Dragon set (Remco)


The Saga of Crystar: Crystal Warrior was a short-lived toyline produced by Remco in 1982. It was unique because the idea for the line originated with Marvel Comics - they wanted to develop a toyline that they would then promote with a comic book that they would produce. Sadly, the line was not successful, and the comic run came to an end after 11 issues. But this line holds a special place in my heart. I had a number of the toys as a kid, and they were completely awesome. So as I built a collection of the figures, I wanted to do customs with them, along the lines of what would have happened had Remco made better toys and the line had seen some success. This is something that Grand Slam and Flash would have discussed back in the Pit.

Here is a custom of Crystar (the Prince of Crystal) himself, which is simply a paint upgrade of the original. The original figure had very little in the way of paint applications, so I've just added some details to make it a little more compelling.

To teach, improve, share, entertain and showcase the work of the customizing community.
