Greetings Night Stalkers,
Last week we uncovered the mystery of THE PLANETOID RAIDERS, and today we have the sort of clues that would have an intrepid reporter like Carl Kolchak chomping at the bit!
The Planetoid Raiders are coming in 2026, but their story really begins in 1977, the year before Kenner officially licensed their classic Star Wars figures, when Hong Kong-based indie toy manufacturer Tomland Toys released a wave of action figures loosely inspired by Star Wars. Tomland’s Starroid Raiders were cheaper and leaner than their Kenner counterparts. These figures were ugly space weirdos that definitely resembled aliens from a galaxy far far away… just maybe not the exact galaxy you were thinking of. While many viewed these otherworldly characters as “Star Wars knock-offs,” their attention-grabbing head sculpts and bright color schemes made them lovable. These misfits and underdogs of the toy box have become highly sought after by collectors around the world. Now, our PLANETOID RAIDERS action figures will honor Tomland Toys’ wacky tradition of retro cosmic madness.
But who exactly are these galactic heroes, and what’s all this about THE ARCADE RAIDERS?
Rest assured, we’re on the case! In the meantime, sign up here to receive an email when the PLANETOID RAIDERS campaign goes live.

Greetings Night Stalkers,
We’re writing tonight with a mystery of cosmic proportions. A Question that might stump even Carl himself… WHO ARE THE PLANETOID RAIDERS?
Here at Wandering Planet Toys, we’ve had the pleasure of creating collectible action figures that celebrate the pop culture icons of yesteryear, with collectibles for fans of Kolchak the Night Stalker, Nancy Drew, The Prisoner, Laurel and Hardy, and even cartoonist Fletcher Hank’s cult classic character The Headless Ones. And now, we’re going to boldly venture into the future with an all-new line of retro-style action figures, featuring the coolest, quirkiest space travelers ever known to the universe: The Planetoid Raiders!
Who are these intergalactic creatures known as The Planetoid Raiders? And who (or what) are The Arcade Raiders? Follow the pre-launch page for more details!
More news on The Planetoid Raiders and your favorite monster busting journalist soon!
Thanks!
