What's the possibility of it being released for the 25th anniversary? If so, I hope its soon cuz he's pretty hard to get even on eBay.
Also, I don't recall seeing him in the t.v. cartoon series. What's the story with Starduster? |

I would like to see figures like Starduster and the silver and gold helmet versions of Steel Brigade. Hopefully not as SDCC exclusives like PDD. I think they should be mail-in offers like they originally were. A Special Mission Brazil 5-pack would be cool also.

Oh hell yeah! The special Mission Brazil 5 pack would be nice. I also think Hasbro should have put out a 5 pack Dreadnoks or the entire Dreadnoks in a complete pack set. The following would be nice too:
1. Battle Force 2000 pack set 2. Stg. Saughter Maurader pack set 3. Cobra Python Patrol pack set 4. Tiger Force patrol pack set 5. Night Force pack set 6. And whatever else I missed |

Starduster
Official File Card Information 1987 Jet Pack Trooper File Name: Skylar, Edward J. SN: RA 989-31-5248 Primary Military Specialty: Infantry Transportable Air Recon Secondary Military Specialty: Helicopter Assault Birthplace: Burlingame, CA Grade: E-6 Starduster was a circus trapeze artist when he enlisted in the Airborne Rangers. He quickly found that his acrobatic skills and boundless energy would come in handy when swinging from a 150-foot rope. But now he did his famous routines suspended from a Huey Assault Copter–with the audience throwing more than just popcorn and peanuts. It was Duke, however, who recognized how well Starduster's death-defying act would work with the JUMP Jetpack. The combination has been a crowd-pleaser ever since. "We could be pinned down by artillery, rockets, and flanking small-arms fire–every inch of sky lit by tracer, the lead so thick in the air even the mosquitoes would take cover–but Starduster would be out there in a flash to spot the bad guys. No questions. Straight up into the flack with his characteristic 'show must go on' attitude, grinning like a Cheshire cat as he calls in enemy positions for our own artillery to hit. The guy never fails to keep the act interesting." Cartoon Profile: Never in the cartoon neither Sunbow or DIC. Starduster did appear animated in the G. I. Joe Action Stars commercial. Comic Profile: Never appeared in the comic neither Marvel or Devil's Due. Though there is a 3-part mini-comic that came in Action Stars cereal. (These are highly sought after collectibles.)

Flint: Thanks for the info on Starduster! I got to say, you know him well like a football coach knows his play book.
Sharke: Starduster must be a mail-away b/c there was no kid within a 10 blocks radius that had him or myself. |

He was, think he was a mail away. I could be wrong though. My mom saved up all my flagpoints for the mail aways as a kid so I think thats how I got him. Of course now hes yellow, rusted, crotchless and in 3 pieces but back in the day he was badass!
