UNPRODUCED TOYS
There were some StarCom toys that were designed, but never sold in the shop. You can see alot of these toys below! Some toys did have prototypes made and some have been sold on platforms such as eBay. These are rare and often sold by people who state they were ex-employees of Coleco.
Pictures from a 1988 Coleco product magazine show the Double Fighter vehicle, a number of figures and three figure packs.
DOUBLE FIGHTER
The Double Fighter Massive Attack Jet appeared in a Coleco product magazine in 1988 but was never produced.
“This uniquely styled jet fighter of Starcom’s Star Wing force is two attack jets in one. It’s a massive air patroller, but at the touch of a button, it raises and disengages the highly maneuverable mini jet for strafing raids. No batteries needed. Figures sold separately.”
UNPRODUCED FIGURES FROM the coleco TOY CATALOGUE
In the U.S. Coleco 1988 toy catalogue, a number of unproduced figures are shown. They included the StarCom figures Bear, Bomber, Hawk and Ranger. Some collectors state that Bomber is the same figure as Capt. Secret. However Capt Secret only came with the Starhawk and had no accessories. They also included the Starmada figures Capt. Pannok, Lt Zortek, Sgt. Maj Ivok and Sgt. Maj Targon. Although the figures were not produced for sale, prototypes were obviously made and they do come up every now and then on sites such as eBay.
This catalogue also shows three pack carded figures. One figure in a three pack is called “Hot Shot” and the name seems to be Capt. Steve Stockton (or similar it is unclear).
I have added a gallery below with close ups but the images are not the best quality.
RANGER
The figure “Ranger” is also shown on the back of the European double figure packs. He is shown as being part of the Astro Marines, but was never actually made for sale. He is also shown in the above Coleco catalogue.
