1985 “Get Into Action” coupon (G.I.Joe Action Stars Cereal insert)
Starduster made his debut on the 1985 G.I.Joe Action Stars cereal offer (seen below) which was inserted in wave one boxes. This offer showed the actual toy flying in front of an explosion background and teased his upcoming availability with: "Keep on the lookout for new G.I. JOE figures like Starduster, G.I. JOE jetpack trooper.... only through offers on specially marked boxes of G.I. JOE Action Stars cereal." Roll over the images below to find out more, or click the images to enlarge them.
1985 Starduster mini-comics (G.I.Joe Action Stars Cereal inserts)
Hasbro and Marvel teamed up to make three mini-comics featuring Starduster. These were inserted in select wave two boxes of G.I.Joe Action Stars cereal. These comic books are dated 1985, and the G.I.Joe Mobile Strike Force offer on the back of each issue expired 1/31/87. So, we can assume that these offers were available at least as early as 1985 and as late as early 1987.
