These figures were developed in two series, although, only the first set of seven figures made it to the store shelves. Series one included alien life forms from seven of the nine planets in our solar system, while series two consisted of six figures and planned on exploring the reaches beyond. (Series two never made it past the prototype stage)
Today, these highly sought after figures are considered by many collectors to be one of the most creative toy lines ever made.
