Figures.com has an article asking where are the figures of Krull? Linkage
It’s a good question - I know figures of these guys would have gone lumped right in with the Star Wars figures!
These are fun articles these guys do - they even go so far as to describe what the figures should have come with. I mean, what kid in the 80’s didn’t have talks with their pals about what figures would be cool if they made? My buddy and I had in our heads that we were going to write to Hasbro with great ideas for new Transformers and G.I. Joes. We spent days dreaming up ideas and coloring them, writing backstories and organizing it all. Heck, we even typed it all up, my brother had a typewriter so we thought we really had something! We had this crazy notion of Hasbro realizing they couldn’t live without our amazing ideas for toys and hiring us on the spot! (come on, we were 10, we had dreams!) Then it came to the fateful moment to mail out our set of plans for the next greatest wave of figures, to wait for the toy masterminds to pull up in our driveway announcing their need for our imaginations! We put our packet together, sealed in a large envelope, only to have my mother explain to us that Hasbro wouldn’t use ideas from kids. She also said she didn’t know what address to mail it off to and it would cost too much to mail large drawings. (8.5 x 14 isn’t THAT big!!) So, defeated that day, we turned back to our adventures with Joes and giant robots. I never did quit dreaming, and I did make it out of my hometown. I can’t say that I’ve ever designed toys, but I’m close. I do work on videogames and get to design characters and build them. So, I guess I’m close to silly little dream from when I was a kid! That’s a lesson I try to pass on to my own daughter - don’t ever be afraid to dream!! And go get those toys opened up!!
