The ant soldiers had various ranks, including officers, international soldiers such as French Foreign Legion soldiers and English guards, and aviators. These figures were based on an animated series that I have no recollection of, but I must have watched it, because I had a few of the figures. The complete series of Starcom toys offered 23 figures, 6 playsets, and 13 vehicles on the heroic Starcom side, while the villainous Shadow Force was represented by 15 action figures and 11 vehicles.

What’s funny about this is that I enjoyed playing with the toys, but I never liked the animated series it was based on.

The toy line was not only based on an animated series, but the toys Mattel developed also interacted with a segment of the episodes that included visual and audio material.The Army Ants were organized into two opposing armies, which included an Orange Army led by General Patant and a Blue Army led by General Mc-Anther. The toy boasts that it was always changing and rearranging, but I didn’t see much of that when I had one. It’s so weird for me to look back at my childhood and realize that I had a full collection of Army Ants. I will say I didn’t like how much work it took to set up, and then cleaning it all up afterwards was always a hassle.

There were holes in in the body of the figures where you could embed armor, weapons, and even vehicles, and I remember thinking this was a pretty cool and inventive toy line. Comic book legends Jack Kirby and Gil Kane contributed to the design and concepts of the show, which featured three heroes wearing exo-frame suits battling the forces of evil. There were two different factions of ghostly warriors: one was lead by the heroic Lionheart, the other was lead by the evil Skull.To view the purposes they believe they have legitimate interest for, or to object to this data processing use the vendor list link below.

I decided to go back in time a little further and find some from the 1980s that you may not remember or maybe never even heard of. I’m surprised the first series of toys was released in the first place, considering it happened after the show ended.The toy line only lasted one year, and included twelve figures featuring male Spectral Knights and Darkling Lords.
