I know the line well since I love the Lost World of the Warlord line from Remco 1982.I remember seeing the Conan line at K-Mart circa 1984 they were cool.some of Remco's best work I know alot of people love the Masters of the Universe line from Mattel which I like not love but I think remco did their best work in terms of the Conan and Warlord lines between 1982-1984

Mattel, Inc. (Mattel), the manufacturer of a popular series of 5 1/2" action figure toy dolls sold under the registered trademark name of "Masters of the Universe," brings an expedited appeal from a decision of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, Richard Owen, Judge. Judge Owen refused to issue a preliminary injunction against Azrak-Hamway International, Inc. (Remco), and certain Remco officials, to stop production and sale of Remco's series of 5 1/2" action figure toy dolls titled the "Warlords," which were designed to compete with Mattel's "Masters of the Universe" dolls. Mattel claims that by producing and selling the "Warlord" dolls, Remco infringes upon Mattel's registered copyright in the "Masters of the Universe" dolls in violation of 17 U.S.C. Secs. 106, 501 (Supp. V 1981), its federal trademark rights in violation of 15 U.S.C. Secs. 1115(b), 1125(a) (1976), and its common law right under New York law to be protected against unfair competition.

Well, there you go. So Mattel won out against Bratz eventually, but not this. This seems much more cut and dry!

Never saw those before.
Will have to keep my eyes open as about the only figures I actually collect are Conan. (and then only sporadically as cash allows)
