star fleet ACTION SET
The Starcom Star Fleet Action Set is one of the rarest Starcom sets and was only sold in Europe by Mattel. The only versions that I have seen appearing for sale have been in the United Kingdom. The date on the rear of the box indicates it was released in 1990. A Shadow Force Action Set was also released and a guide for it is also on my site.
The Star Fleet Action Set is very hard to find boxed. The set included three vehicles and eight figures. The vehicles had different stickers to the ones that the original boxed vehicles came with. The Shadow Force figures were described as being prisoners of Starcom! A story is also included on the back of the box and you can read it below.
We did an in depth YouTube review video on this Action Set and you can view it here.
VEHICLES
The Star Fleet Fleet Action set came with a F-1400 Starwolf, a Missile Fox and a Starmax Bomber. As you can see from the pictures, the vehicles in this set had different stickers to those that they previously had come with.

PACKAGING
The Starcom, Star Fleet Action Set came boxed. It had cardboard inserts and plastic bags for the figures. The box is very hard to find. Instructions were included along witha sticker sheet. The sticker that were supplied were different to stickers supplied with the vehicles when they were originally released separately.
THE STORY ON THE BOX
After a long patrol, The Starmax Fighter Bomber, on one of Star Fleet’s peacekeeping patrols, is quietly cruising across the galaxy when suddenly…
WAROO…WAROO…WAROO…
The urgent wail of the alarm signals danger. The ship’s battery operated power source is failing. Inside the huge spacecraft, lights flicker and dim. The banks of computer screens go blank. The ships commander, galactic superhero ‘Dash’ Derringer, leaps into action.
“We’ll have to risk an emergency landing on Mars…lower the landing skid…and take a deep breath!”
As he speaks, a huge range of obelisks comes into view. As the huge ship coasts closer to the forest of massive, ancient standing stones the crew become aware of a strange light. It seems to be coming from the obelisks.
The light grows stronger and stronger until the whole of the Starmax glows in it’s beam like a million megawatt light bulb. Then just as suddely the beam vanishes.
The spacecraft’s computer screens light up again “Hey Dash!” shouts Lieutenant Bob Rogers, “We have full power again…but the batteries are just as low!”
Never one to go by the rule book, Dash gives the order to switch off the battery power completely. To their amazement, all systems are still fully energised and registering full power.
“I’ll report this to Admiral Brickley” said Rogers as he flicked open the communication channel. “Stop…” cried Dash “we can’t risk the Shadow Force intercepting it.”
But Emperor Dark, the evil leader of the Shadow Force was already monitoring the Star Fleet ship by spy beam and knew the importance of the discovery. Unlimited energy, unlimited power. He fires orders to his Generals, “Torvek, Von Dar. Mass my legions of mutants and robots. We will take these obelisks and crush the Star Fleet. I will rule the universe.”
Will this new found energy source enable the Star Fleet to repel the evil Shadow Force? Or will the merciless Emperor Dark finally achieve his ambition of ultimate power?
This is only the beginning of the battle for the Universe…
