We'll go figure, i finally find one of the beasts at a local Flea Market, and its one of the 2 I already own (The Two headed dragon I got from Galaxy Warrior). I don't go all out on Ebay for it but do like to get what I can in trades. These guys are more like bendy figures, but are still considered action figures i guess. Anyone else collect this line?

I think for the most part, each figure came with one of the little guys (Jipps or Glowgons). Also each creature came with a figure and little guy. There are also a few sets out there as well. That castle is pretty damn cool, wouldn't mind getting my hands on one of those  |

Frogacuda is also pretty cool, a MOC one just sold on Ebay for around $30. Not to bad, but I passed as i prefer loose figures if possible.

Man, I totally forgot about these guys til I saw them on this site. I had loads of these when I was a kid. Those little purple guys with the clubs RULED!!!  I has the castle too. It played well with Castle Greyskull. I never had Snake Mountain as a kid, so this was a good as it got. Looking at it now, I finally notice HOW much it looks like a cross between Castle Greyskull and Snake Mountain. The playmat was the best, had a moat and everything! |

I have a few of these from my childhood. I remember seeing the Other World section at Target, and wanting them all.
I'm currently (re)collecting them.

I have had only one of these guys: Lava man, it had a couple of rocks wich he could throw, and a red and purple little creature. This line has not made it long in the Netherlands, I don't thing there are many people here that even remember it.
They looked great though !

Has anyone any idea what a boxed castle zendo is worth? Missing the playmat, 1 flag and 1 snake tooth but othrwise A1. I'm thinking of ebaying it to raise funds for an upcomming purchase but it'd be nice to know roughly what it might go for. The only one I've seen was in pretty poor shape. i48.photobucket.com/albums/f227/toyspace72/AFA/zendo.jpg |

I have never seen these...but thats not saying much as I really did not look outside the G.I.Joe section much, and these guys probably had no commercials and such??!??!
I have the two headed dragon with his saddle.

My castle Zendo had much whiter walls. Wonder why.
It was one of my favorite playsets as a kid. Wish I still had it!
Little known fact: Shizo (the two headed guy) was discontinued after the American Psychological Association complained that it gave Schizophrenia a bad name.

That has got to be the lamest reason for discontinuing a figure that I've ever heard! I bet someone made that up. That's like cancelling the Mumm-Ra figure because it made bald (PC: Hair Impaired) people feel self-conscious.

It made the papers back in the day, and my mother was a member of the APA at the time (still is). |

I suppose Schizo is one of the harder ones to find, along with the lava monster and the humans with armour, I believe I only need Weapons Master ( the werewolf like creature) out of the regular 3 3/4 inch figures. And I never came across that castle, stores in that day were much more interested in stocking MOTU toys.

If I recall correctly, all of my Otherworld stuff came from the local pharmacy, which was able to buy these guys cheaper than MOTU so that they could inflate the prices higher.
I used to have all of these guys, but buried most of them in the ground at the local park years ago. Yes, I went back and tried to find them, but no luck. Some kid somewhere must have been very happy to find these guys.
The castle was a lot of fun back in the day but, looking back now, there's really nothing to it. The recent reincarnation of the MOTU Castle Greyskull is very reminiscent of the Castle Zendo design. Big front wall and some narrow catwalks.
I still have Schizo. Is he worth much? I have the red demon dude too. Everyone else is long gone.

its funny because 2bads name was intended to be schitzo also. but changed it for that very reason. not to mention they did this with zartans filecard also. mental illness is very serious with parnets and toycompanies.

I remember my best friend/nextdoor neighbor having a lot of these. Since everyone else had Star Wars, He-Man and GI Joe he always seemed to go for the lesser known stuff and he'd get really into them... for a while. One week it's The other world, next week it'd be Robo force or something.  |

Nice collection so far, castle Zendo is really a cool poor's man Castle Grayskull! Here a pic of our favorite maniac I took from my collection. I'm working on some tidbits on recalled figure for my blog and just couldn't pass on Skitzo!  |

Thanks for the links Lenzy, the comic is pretty cool. To bad it wasn't in English. Yep, the weapons rack is actually packaged with the Weapons Master figure.

I'm not sure the weapon rack was sold with weapon master here. I had this figure with Zendo and Skitzo on the same card.

Maybe they also sold the figure without the rack as a 3-pack?
