@halfvulcan LOL, your post reminded me of a Family Guy episode where Peter asks Brian if there has ever been a Sesame Street episode where The Count used his fangs to feed on someone. Kids cartoons generally don't have a body count. :)
I used to love this cartoon when I was a kid. I forgot that Blackstar's Keeblerian companions were called "Trobbits". So what is that, TRoll + hOBBIT = TROBBIT?
I had this action figure when I was in grade school. You can strike his back like a lighter for his bling necklace to spark and his sword is made up of a plastic neon that glows in the dark. =)
Go to amazon(dot)com and do a search there under 'movies and TV'. It should be available there as a DVD set containing all the 13 episodes. Alternatively you can try ebay(dot)com.
At 40 seconds on the blooper reel, you can hear the flying dragon say 'Watch where your swinging that shit, you nearly cut me"

I brought this on DVD after not seeing it for 24 years. It's still a great show.
Yes, the 80s cartoons are the best. I pity the kids of today and all of that Pokemon crap.
