EP.31 - Starcom

AARGH! MY OPTICS!

[DISCUSSION] ...And now for something completely different! Having grown a little tired of talking about a massively popular and long running toy line and media franchise, Orion Ghia retreats to a much less well remembered and far shorter lived toy line of his youth... Coleco's STARCOM. Join Orion as he takes Virtual Dave along for the ride! They discuss the cartoon, the toys, the reason it failed and lament a toy line that was, all told, is one of the great hidden gems of the 1980s.
