If you are lucky...you might still see a few sets of these on eBay...although it kinda makes me wonder why several sellers seem to have all been selling similar sets within the last few weeks (coincidence maybe). I bought my set outright for about seventy bucks...and another seller's auction ended the next week for over twice as much. The seller I bought from later listed another set in auction format. Guess, he might have seen he could have made more money. Anyway, even if they are just a bootleg of a knock-off, I'm still glad to have the little buggers. I'm contemplating on whether or not to open 'em up.

Yes your card back shows eight figures, but there are other card backs that show more. I hate to bust your bubble, but you are no where near completing this set with just 8 figures. Quoted by countzackula According to the card back, there are eight figures...so I assume I can say I have a full set. I can also assume the accessories were randomly distributed, as are the different cards. One type has a blue field and the other has a red field behind the toy. Maybe ideally meant to designate bad and good warriors? There are four inhuman characters: canine beast, snake man, elf/ogre, and oriental dragon man. The elf/ogre seems to be like a caucasian Baltard from Galaxy Warriors/Fighters. There are four human-looking guys which seem to be very close rip-offs of Huk, Daton, and Triton head molds from the Galaxy Warrior/Fighter lines as well as an "indian" or native american style man

Hmm, figured as much...I mean...I'm not completely ignorant to the fact of the matter that these types of toys were reused and repainted, ripped off, and rented out by every nickel and dime toy company in their day. I guess I can say I have a complete set of this particular "branch" of Galaxy Heroes...maybe. I don't really go for MIMP stuff anyway...this was a fluke for me.

You should see my collection of these babies.... gne gne the indian guy is called geronimo If you look very hard on this board you might find a old picture of a cardback showing a lot more than 8 figures plus names....... Still there are some gw bootlegs that don't show on that cardback and thus are still nameless the easy thing to do is indeed to use their gw counterparts name......

Galaxy Heroes have names??!!! Really? Geronimo? I've invested quite a bit of time and money in this line over the past few years and never knew that.....curiouser and curiouser.... I've amassed 16 of these fellows(including muscle warriors) and 2 different card backs---both with only the number tags. I've scoured this site a hundered times and could never put names to any of them. For some reason a lot of the threads are butchered and make absolutely no sense to read. Why is it so many posts get deleted? They have names, huh? Interesting.

Yep, thats one with the names i can make out the name Horned devil (thats a orange horned one) I saved the picture of a cardback with names, from an old ebay auktion, on my comp and was able to retrieve it so here you go (be sure to save it to your harddrives you never know when it might vanish ): There are 12 different ones on the cardback, in the auktion there are 15 different ones. I've got 13 different ones and know there are many more including the salamander head, its save to say every gw figure has also been done

Here are my galaxy heroes (excluding geronimo he's missing his feather so not on display): Keep in mind that Muscle warriors can be found on galaxy heroes cards but galaxy heroes are never found on muscle warriors cards, TKOM explained that to me and he knows what he's talking about..... this doesn't make muscle warriors and galaxy heroes the same line just see it as a packing error or something like that. Probably both lines where produced by the same company and they just released items on excess cards or so to save money or something like that. Heck i don't know why they did it and am only trying to find a logical explanation, why save more on such a low budget line?

Well I'll share my muscle warriors too, i also have huk loose now I think I'm only missing the "dragoon and anubi" versions assuming they made all 12 GW figures besides Rahn and Deevil.....

i've got the two with black bodies, never knew they were "muscle warriors." so many name variations, it's frustrating/fun to try to keep it all straight!

Chalk me up as another owner of that carded set. This is really a gloriously awful series.

I actually found two of these carded at my local flea market the other day and bought them for $5, it was the 5th and 7th figure int he picture above with the 8 figures. However they do not have any armor on them nor do they have an accessory. Has anyone come acorss this before?
Yes I know I'm dredging a topic from 2009

I'm just glad I can give a name to my GH 'Reptilian'. I was tortured trying to decide if he should be called Kobraa or Sahak. And so the black/orange headed Ygg I have is a 'Muscle Warrior'? This rabbit-hole is bottomless... I think MOTU KOs would be up there as one o' my faves to collect. New garish-cruddy variations just keep floating to the surface.

I purchased this figure on a local site. Anyone know from what line he is? It's not a regular Galaxy Fighter I guess.

Ok, found this guy in an assorted box of toys while i was on vacation. Im an avid MOTU collector and am looking for cool KO's to add to the collection. I found it for next to nothing and i think he's a knock off of a galaxy warrior (he man KO) that was made. IMG] i85.photobucket.com/albums/k46/parpunk/102_4057.jpg[/His legs dont move at all, they are like this solid dry coarse plastic. Anyone have any more info on this guy? Is there more out there?

whew man, you are opening a whole amazing can of worms. the history of the galaxy warrior characters is confusing and convoluted, and this particular head sculpt has been used for figures from at least 10 different lines i bet.
i don't try to memorize all the tiny details setting apart galaxy warriors and galaxy fighters and all the other variations, but from what i know i'd say the stiff legs mean it's either from the Galaxy Heroes line or Muscle Warriors. both reused the Galaxy Warriors molds.

Name is Baltard and number on back of card (891). This was used in Galaxy Warrior, Galaxy Fighter, Musle Warriors, Galaxy Hero, Wrestling knock offs too. If the legs do not move than it is either a galaxy hero or Muscle warrior in most cases.

Muscle Warriors have the type of poseability you just mentioned. muscle warriors have articulated waists a or a few runs of galaxy heroes don't But galaxy heroes can also be found with more articulation and with bigger body types muscle warriors however are always the same articulated waist and non articulated legs

i have an orange bodied horned devil & satyr. the only articulation is at the neck and both arms. everything else is one big mass of hard rubber. just trying to figure out which run they are. outside of basic galaxy warriors and galaxy fighters, its a jumbled mess i'm still coping with understanding.

(Thanks for the save, drekkus.) I confused myself, as I have the black-bodied / orange head Minotaur with solid waist n' legs which I always think of as a Muscle warrior.

I confused myself, as I have the black-bodied / orange head Minotaur with solid waist n' legs which I always think of as a Muscle warrior. are you sure about the waist? The only black-bodied / orange head Minotaur i know has a articulated waist and is indeed a muscle warrior. he can be seen somewhere above on this page behind his other mw buddies. if yours has a solid waist i would love to see a picture. that would open up a whole new world in possible ko variants.

I'm pretty certain on that waist, I found him in a McDonald's toy bag at a junk store, bought the whole bag just for it. Gonna' be a wait on putting a pic up (like about a million things I want to ID... long story short, storage, but I will get to it eventually). Frustrating I don't have it at hand now you mention it's interest... ah, this is gonna' #@*! bug me for days now.

The 2nd sure sounds like a muscle warrior But i can't say for sure untill i see pictures
