    These figures are cool and no matter what I dig them! he one thing that always stood out with these was how colorful the entire set is!

      Very colorful indeed. I really loved this show as a kid and as an adult I was introduced to Raymond's Flash Gordon by a friend. I've never looked back. Thanks for watching.

    I had lizard woman and she worked with my SW figures. I'd say like other Mattel figures (Battlestar Galactica) of the time. The poor paint apps and lack of guns made them pale in comparison to SW even to a kid.

    the series was released in 1979 but i herd that the animated movie the greatest adventure of all was released in 1982 and its too bad that the movie was not part of the complete tv series dvd box set as a bones feature so it be a truly complete collection set

    I just saw Flash and Ming (large) figures at Target. Apparently NECA got the license to make these new ones. The only problem is that they're about $35 each. Ouch. But I loved the original series and figures. Great review!

    What a missed opportunity they had by never putting out action figures of the golden robots Ming was always sending out. They coukd have been troop builders almost up there with stormtroopers and cobra soldiers. Hopefully someday either a custom will be made or maybe even Super7.

    I like them but that's silly with the tails since if anything that should aid in it standing. Likely the fixed connection point, if it swiveled you could stop it from pushing the figure forward.

    Considering Boss Fight Studio are making figures based on the Filmation series. You got to wonder if they'll release versions of the Lizard woman, especially since they do make fantasy themed female action figures.
