Flash Gordon 90's animated series

[victoryleo19]

I actually rarely ever watched the show as a kid. I did catch a few episodes in spanish online, but the series seems to be very...well...90's. The skateboards and the attitude kind of seal the deal. I like the toy line playmates did, but I was surprised to find this guy:







It's definitely Ming from Flash Gordon. He doesn't have articulation, but he has holes to indicate he probably had a cape and could stand on some kind of base. Does anyone know anything about this? I know there was another unarticulated figure packaged with one of the Flash Gordon vehicles, so I wonder if this guy was a European only release. I also figure he could possibly have come with some kind of playset?

I'm not an expert but I practically lived in KB stores on the weekends in the late 90's and that series was made by Playmates. I can't clearly see the bottom of the figure's feet that you photographed but I am willing to say Playmates did not make this figure. First time seeing this guy. This could be a knock off?

KFS on the foot probably stands for King Features Syndicate, publishers of Phantom, Mandrake and Flash Gordon material.

Edit: I've never heard of the toy brand 'Quick' as written on the right foot. Googling 'quick action figures' probably won't bring up the desired results.

The "KFS" rules this out as far as being a knock off at least.

Quick is a European fast food burger chain that started in Belgium in 1971 and has locations in France, Russia and other countries.  They offered a pretty impressive line of DC super hero action figures several years ago.   Their current "Magic Box" premiums in France are Panini stickers and albums featuring horses (for the girls) and dinosaurs (for the boys).  Next up is something tied in with Playmobil.

He measures about 6 inches tall too. Definitely slightly taller than the American playmates version, but I don't have the figure to compare.
