All parts and accessories: Crystal Warrior Catapult 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. Grand Slam and Flash would discuss this all the time back in the Pit.

Like all of Crystar's captains other than Warbow, you wouldn't even know Koth's name without reading the comics, or buying certain stickers sets or colouring books. The figure is not named on the packaging he came in. This is a paint upgrade of the original, which had very little in the way of paint applications, so I've just added some details to make it a little more compelling. The eyes are painted, and white details added to the helmet. I assigned Koth the role of Artillery Captain since the figure came with a small catapult as part of the set.
