That Time A Show Got A Toyline Years After It Was Cancelled: The Story of Blackstar

Blackstar is an American animated science fantasy television series, produced in 1981 Filmation. Borrowing heavily from Flash Gordon and John Carter of Mars, Blackstar also has many notable similarities to He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, which was produced shortly afterwards. The popularity of He-Man also caused Blackstar to finally get a toyline long after it was cancelled.
