I found this guy at a toy show and would like to pick up more of them, but I can't seem to find the line he came from. Here's the info I have.....he's die-cast metal, 3 3/4" scale, marked "made in hong kong", and ugly as sin.  Any ideas?  |

It looks like they all suffer from "tiny head" syndrome and giant swollen biceps I am digging them though, but I'm a sucker for all things die-cast and all things wonky. The weirder the better and these guys are pretty flipping weird  |

Yeah, I recall these. They were dollar store-chique. I had a Barbarian/caveman type figure just like this one. They came on large card backs that had fantasy oriented, brown hued backgrounds. I think there was 6 in total.

 Here is one version of the packaging. An ebay seller listed 3 different ones on ebay. One,apparently a villian,went for $98.00. The other 2 went for over $50.00. |

 Here is another version of the packaging. Mighty steep prices for discount store fodder. |

They only went high because 3 known high bidders bid on them. Once they get there sets, they'll be back down to $15 each.

Yep, I won one, Clambo the other and not sure who won the third. Normally they don't go for as much like Sniper said.

These guys were also produced under the name Master Warriors by Lido. Not sure which came first as their is no date on the cardbacks. Came with the exact same weapon placement though.  |

Woah! "Master Warriors". I love it. Sorta better than Galaxy Warriors.
No differences whatsoever, eh?? Not even in armor or color??

Damn...never saw that card before! Thanks for the info on that...yeah, too bad the colors never vary, whether these boys are Galaxy Warriors, Galaxy Fighters, or Treasures of the Temples. If I collected mint toys, I'd be drooling.
