Who among you remembers Ring Raiders?
Those Characters From Cleveland decided to get into the action figure business in the late 80's, but the fact that, nearly 30 years later, the Ring Raiders line has been all but forgotten tells us how badly they were received.
In 1989, DIC obtained a license to adapt the toys into a 5 part weekly miniseries. Voice talent included Dan Gilvezan (ex-Spider-Man & His Amazing Friends), Roscoe Lee Browne, Chuck McCann, and Ike Eisenmann (ex-Fantastic Journey), whose surname was misspelled in the credits to the opener, which was a bad sign.
Here's the intro:
The series was not given a full season order after the miniseries, and both it & the toy line that inspired it bombed. Badly.
Rating: B-. Standard fare of the period.
