Sectaurs Tapestries
Description: I have always loved Sectaurs. Such a fun line but with a few major problems that kept it from being successful. The figures were too big! could not play with them with any other line. Too Expensive! the size made them cost way too much. Puppet legs! No kid who plays with action figures wants stupid puppet legs. Unique in the play pattern but not cool for kids and you could not pose or stand up the main bugs. I have them all, even the Hyve!
Description: Sectaurs was a toy line released in 1985, and not in 1984, as the stamp on the figures suggests. Figures and insect companions were packaged together in a window box with weapons, a mini comic book, and instructions. Some of these companions were large enough for the Sectaurs to ride, and were actually puppet-like, in which a hand could be placed inside a glove making up the lower body of the beast to manipulate the legs and an action feature. A second series of figures were designed and pictured in dealers' catalogs, but never produced due to the line's cancellation. The toy line did not do well, partly because of the intimidating appearances of the heroes and their companions, and partially due to price points well above other figures.
Description: General Spidrax riding on his Insectoid steed Spider-Flyer. General Spidrax is the leader of the Dark Domain's armies, armed with a whip coated in lethal poison. Sectaurs are the insect and arachnid action figures that put the peaceful Shining Realm of Prosperon and the evil Dark Domain of Synax in ruthless battles. General Spidrax was an evil Sectaur that enslaved his animal companion Spider-Flyer rather than form a bond with it because Spidrax had no forehead antennae
