Meuton from BLACKSTAR!!!

My buddy gave me this figure because I'm "into this type of shit'', which is clearly true. The problem lies in his (and my) lack of information on this guy. It says 1983 FILMATION ASSOC on his butt. Any help IDing this guy is appreciated.

looks like a lighter???

 

Re: This dude is cool, but what is it?

I think the lighter wheel was for making sparks to light up the eyes. The flint seems to be long gone...

 

Re: This dude is cool, but what is it?

It's from the Blackstar line. they had that flint flash action in their eyes or chest pieces. The dude you have is called Meuton. He had wings as well.

 

Thanks for the info, I appreciate it!

Found this from googling the dudes name, and now I want the red guy!

 

We have a nice carded set ((incomplete)) of the black star figs. All the Filmation toy lines ruled.

 

I have tons of Blackstar from when I was little, I still love them, some really great figures, with the gimmicky sparks.

 

Meuton????
