    Fun stuff. I came across some "star space" (wars) figures in the past. I purchased one just for fun. Gotta look for it.

          Greaty Web Site! I am really into 1960-70s Knock Offs sadly a site doesn't exist for many KOs from this time period. This site does have lots of new stuff that is fun to look at and keep an eye out for.

            I have these two bizarre He-Man and Skeletor bootlegs. I think they are from Mexico. They really are quite hideous. I have the real He-Man and Skeletor by them for comparison.

            You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

              here's a link to illegalmego's brother's Flicker page. Tons and tons of bootleg/kknock-off superhero stuff and more. Definitely worth checking out.

                Those photos give the bootlegs a dignity they don't normally have.

                  The He-Man figures are very close to the originals. Nice post.

                  I spent a while going thorugh the Flicker account lots of fun stuff in there. I am fan of The Mexican Blow molded stuff with the 14in He-Man figures a favorite. Nice pics of Mexico KOs

                    This is my favorite MOTU bootleg.



                    Felinor from the FUERZA-T line made by Top Toys in Argentina.

                    He is wicked cool on a lot of levels. For starters for all the effort that went into the figures. They didn't just bootleg MOTU figures, they created an entirely new storyline, characters, bios and artwork. There's also the quality of the figure. It uses what seems to be actual MOTU molds. From what I understand Top Toys did legitimately have the MOTU license to sell and produce MOTU figures in Argentina for a time. I have the He-Man and Skeletor from the Top Toys MOTU line.

                    The Top Toys MOTU and FUERZA-T figures are not as high of quality as regular MOTU figures. The plastic isn't quite as good, not painted as well and the accessories have a bit of flashing. But still above average quality for this sort of thing.

                    Felinor has the head of Mer-Man, the body of Beastman and Skeletor's armor and Power Sword half. Also, I don't know if you can make it out in the picture but he is molded in this really rich deep blood red color. If that wasn't enough, he is topped off with a glow in the dark face.

                        I almost forgot about these. I think they were sold in gum ball machines in the 80s. Only markings are Hong Kong.



                        You probably can't make it out in the photo but the detail on these is extraordinary. It's like the original figures were cast and then shrunk. All the detail is there down too the buckles on the back of the figure's armor.

                        Starting from the top left: Zodak, Man-E-Faces, Stratos, Mer-Man (with Man-at-Arm's Mace), Skeletor, Evil-Lyn, Beastman, Faker, He-Man, Teela, Man-at-Arms and Ram Man. I'm pretty sure I have the whole set.

                          Nice find! I love gumball machine stuff! The figures look like they went to game. Was there a He-Man board game?

                            There were a couple of He-Man board games but the pieces were made of cardboard.

                              PPC Marvel figures from Mexico. I don't know much about them or even what PPC stands for. I have three smaller versions. these are the largest and my personal collection. If I'm not mistaken, All I need is Green Goblin to complete the set.

                                Sometimes you'll see refrence to a MOTU RPG. It's a board game, although you can kind of see how it might have started (at an early stage) as an RPG. Kinda wish I knew more though.
