These figures were based on an animated series that I have no recollection of, but I must have watched it, because I had a few of the figures.

It was a fun toy to play with…until you ran out of the disappearing ink ammo, which happened pretty fast. The complete series of Starcom toys offered 23 figures, 6 playsets, and 13 vehicles on the heroic Starcom side, while the villainous Shadow Force was represented by 15 action figures and 11 vehicles.
