Got these recently on eBay...I try not to go too nuts on MOTU KO variations, but saw these and had to go for 'em. I have seen all kinds of versions of these crazy characters before, but this is the first I've seen these specimens "officially" verified under a specific name all their own.
Yeah, only have the one carded...made by some company called "SIL"...and that's all the info you really get. Oddly enough, I had always wondered if such things in other people's collections about the internet were just crude body swaps. Another shocker was that these guys are not like Galaxy Heroes as one might assume. They are actually blow molded! Neat! You usually expect that from South American bootlegs. They also have a closed fist with a hole for a weapon as opposed to the open hand on the solid plastic Galaxy Heroes.
Apparently they only produced six characters. Here's the cardback:
I really like the fact these guys use the same-old Galaxy KO molds, yet they got new names. If you look close, the plain old human guy seems to have Triton artwork...and he seems to be a Triton copycat from afar, but the head is actually that of the mustached guy from Muscle Warriors, without his 'stache painted on!
