He has no markings and looks like a wrestling figure? i used to own it but sold it off years ago with a lot of other figures (here's hoping it isn't a prototype )

Here is another knockoff figure, probably from the same line. HeroesForSale sent me the pic.

I guess I'll share the info, actually had I ever noticed this post before I would have filled you in a long time ago. The figures are from a line called...drum roll please....Action Heroes. I mean how much more original can you get? The most amusing part is they came with little friction sparky motorcylces. Made in '84 by Marchon I'm not quite sure what the complete line consists of. I have a red guy, there's the white and black that are pictured in this thread so that makes at least 3. I saw a vehicle of some sort on ebay in a completed auction of course so there was more to the line then just the cycle figures. Interestingly they weren't even dollar store knock offs, I've seen carded examples with Toys R Us price tags. Problem I've run into is the name is so freakin general it's like finding a needle in a hay stack on eBay. Do a search for Marchon and you have to sift through all of their slot car stuff. Do a search for Action Heroes and you're looking at hundreds of auctions. Granted I haven't been very diligent in my search but I've run across a hand full of them in the past few years. I've never acquired any though because I usually run across them when I'm browsing completed listings just to see if any had surfaced recently. This one time I catch it before it's ended, watch the the auction for a week and then totally forget about it ]

Does anyone know what this is from? It's exactly like a Secret Wars figure, but has no markings at all. Pictured next to a Resolute figure for size.

That's exactly what it is, a Secret Wars knock off. It had a really generic name which I can't remember, and came with a bike I believe, but also loose.

Are these the "Future Warriors " line ? I have the card back for his name but its a small pic and cant read the text .

Future Warriors is a SW KO from Brazil - same molds but different paint jobs.

There's also a Future Warriors that were Secret Wars repaints by Gulliver (Brazil).

Exactly right, Ryan. Those Gulliver figures are the Future Warriors I was referring to yesterday. Marchon Action Heroes had the capes & friction trikes. Gulliver Future Warriors were original comic book style characters created using the same molds & distributed in South America. The Future Warriors had some pretty interesting looking characters actually. JGallo had several of them listed late last year on ebay. They're really pretty sweet. Both series are way more interesting than the average Secret Wars figure, imo. I had already posted the series names & relevant info yesterday, but deleted my posts out of the frustration of the info I was attempting to share being overlooked in favor of quoting other peoples posts to ask questions I had already answered.

Future Warriors is a SW KO from Brazil - same molds but different paint jobs. How is it a Star Wars knock off ? If they use Secret Wars molds aren't they Secret Wars knock offs ? Is it because they have a theme set in the outer realms of space Star Wars knock offs.

I missed that piece actually. Thanks for sharing the link. I agree with you on the symbiote Spidey. He's my favorite US issued production figure. Simple & clean design. A real keeper. I remember having him many moons ago when I was in kindergarten. I recall that quite vividly actually. He was one of the few toys I ever smuggled to school with me. The Secret Wars were even better back then.

Thanks for the info everyone. It's very much appreciated! I found this guy at a local flea market. I didn't know he came with a bike, the guy might have had it too....
