About 
Gladiator II doesn't do enough to set itself apart from the original. It justifies its existence but could have been better.

Sectaurs Figures Return Thanks to a New Kickstarter
Sectaurs figures are returning… maybe. After a long reveal process, the Kickstarter from ZICA Toys has finally gone live. Two figures will be available first: Dargon and General Spidrax.
For those of you who do not remember Sectaurs, it was a toy line that debuted in 1985. The figures told the story of a world called Symbion, where due to a genetic experiment done wrong, its citizens took on the features of insects and arachnoids. Price Dargon an his heroic forces are at odds with the evil forces of Empress Devora. All of the characters are "tele-bonded" with insect creatures called Insectoids and shared in each others pleasures and pains. A five-episode animated series and even an eight-issue Marvel comic series were also produced.
After ten long months of reveals the Sectaurs Kickstarter is finally here! Thanks to an unbelievable opportunity given to us by the series creators, ZICA Toys is bringing Sectaurs back to the world of action figures. Instead of sticking with the larger scale of the original vintage line, we're going with the smaller 1/18 scale (4") that's becoming more and more popular with modern action figure collectors.
The first two figures that will be offered in the line are Dargon and General Spidrax, the main hero and villain of the series. Both come with updated versions of their original accessory pieces from the vintage line, plus four extra sets of interchangeable hands which offer a wider variety of display options. The figures will be packaged on a 6" x 9" blister card with character specific artwork.
Man, these take me back. I had a ton of these things when I was a kid, and I hadn't thought about them in years. The sculpts and decos look incredible on these two, with General Spidrax looking exceptional. I also love the old school look to the accessories, especially the weapons.
