A friend of mine is always looking for pictures of MotU bootlegs from Yugoslavia. And he's always looking to buy the ones he doesn't have yet. Here's a link to his site: www.motuyugobootleglexikon.com/I know his English is terrible but the photos are great. You can contact him directly if you've got photos he doesn't have or post them here/send them to me so that I can forward them to him. Thanks for you help guys!

You should tell him that it is polite to ask people if he can use their pictures instead of just using them. He's using my blue king hiss picture (from he-man.org) on his site and has never asked me if he could nor has he aknowledged that it aint his picture on there. I see this happen so often that peepz take my pics (or pics from others from this site) and don't even mention where they found them or who they belong to. This also happens a lot on the german masters site for example in this thread: www.planeteternia.de/cgi-bin/messages.pl?sprID=1;thrID=37727;Page=13I can understand them using ebay pics without further reference but when they take pics from collections on sites like he-man.org or here then the least thing they could do is refer to the site (thread) where they found them. You're a member there Alfi, can't you refer your friends to here? I would say the more the merrier. Seems like our German brethren also have a lot of ko knowledge to share the site of Gismoko looks nice. Any reference for a toy is a good thing, the more info the better. He should just be carefull what he uses as input especially when he puts "Copyright © 2011 by Gismoko" below his page while using stuff for his site that aint his. How can he hold copyright over my picture? I might need to ask him that question myself.

Yeah better send him a mail. I think the guys who are into KO's from PE are also registered here.

Its a shame the PE dudes are just registered but don't take part in the discussion. I would love to exchange thoughts with them. I might just join PE (if i haven't allready can't remember) to do just that. I could go on for hours about the ko's in their threads. And luckily i can write a bit in German which makes communication easier. Yup motu ko's are really my passion.

I think you are registered at PE. Problem is for some guys that they don't speak English or just a bit. And there's only a very few guys that are into KO's. Like maybe 10 out of thousands registered at PE.

I also had contact with gismoko and we're cool. i will see if i can help him out a bit more with his site in the future.

Cool to hear that. Hopefully you've got some pics he doesn't have yet. There will be an update of his site in january. I'm really looking forward to see the updates.
I should ask him if adds Polish bootlegs too, that's what I collect.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but we don't have a thread for bootlegs of Masters of the Universe stuff in general, do we? There are so many! Some are great, some are crappy...some hate 'em, some love 'em. Me? I'm kinda picky, but I just so happened to snag these gems, and they came in today. Beedle dee-dee dee-dee! Two ladies! Beedle dee-dee dee-dee! Two ladies! Beedle dee-dee dee-dee! Undt I'm zee only maaan! JA!!! Anyway, these are apparently from Malaysia. As anyone can hopefully tell, they are bootlegs of Teela and EVil-lyn. Both have the same color scheme (okay, Teela's belt got missed). Both also have the same accessories...Teela's snake staff and shield. Not constructed like normal MOTU figures, as many bootlegs are not. Very cheap, yet still kinda solid. The necks and shoulders are just standard swivel joints and the legs are simplified to t-crotch articulation, although it's hard to tell from the photo (I guess). You can see the two screws holding them together. No major paint apps on their backsides, either. Tee-hee! They almost look near-nude! Dearest me...but *whew*...flesh tone onesies for these gals. The accessories are dark blue (but the one staff is actually almost purple). The shields are in two pieces, just like the real Teela's. The middle peg part is metallic purple and the outer part is blue. Facial close-ups! Love Teela's dye job, by the way. The faces don't seem to be exactly like their real counterparts. Dang! Now I gotta dig my Masters of the Universe figures out.

I've seen many "t-crotch" MOTU bootlegs over the years and finally got around to getting a couple. True, one is technically a bootleg of a MOTU knock off, but who's counting? I really dig the red Webstor! I've seen many MOTU characters as well as some Galaxy Warrior/Fighter characters bootlegged in this body style. I just wonder how many are out there and if they came in any type of packaging. I've also seen He-Man, Skeletor, Beast Man, Huk and Daton done up in the t-crotch bodies. I think these came with translucent weapons, if I'm not mistaken. Anybody got any more they wanna show off...OR does anyone else have any extra info on these MOTU bootlegs?

I have a jitsu with silver hand in stead of the original gold hand. Has anyone ever heard of this variant?? I have checked it multiple times with a original jitsu gold hand and looked at it for several minutes to be absolutely sure but it realy is silver. On the back of this jitsu it says Mattel inc 1983 Hong kong. Offcourse (normal with the jitsu hand) on some parts of the hand it is faded but it is clearly silver. Hope to get an answer on this one and how rare this is. I have heard about a jitsu variant with gold fisto fist but never a silver jitsu hand, Pictures below thnx,

Whoa. I live in Hungary so it's strange that I've never seen any of these in here. I wonder if they were exported to Eastern Europe...
