Wow! I have never seen these before and I love obscure toys.
ReplyDeleteIs it me or does the first picture looks like it was drawn by Richard Corben?
Hi captainapathy,
ReplyDeleteI love the Universal Task Force!
These are action letrasets from the year 1980, produced by Ideal.
There were six "Sci-fantasy packs" of this series, and all of them featured this team of space heroes. There was Kaarl the Korrector, Demona, Commander Clone, The Lasers, the Friends of Fire and then a Task force set called "Robot Revolt."
I've never ever seen these letraset action transfers again, but I bought them all new at a flea market in New Jersey, called Englishtown.
Great memories...
best,
JKM
