*resurrects thread* I recently got that same red pants dragoon in, along with a bunch of accessories to give all of my Turly figures chest armour. And there are a total of four: Two frog like heads (one orange, one pink) and two leguana heads (also one orange and one pink) The orange guys are darker green, the pink ones are light green.

Well, this is my latest Sungold score. The figure in the last pic I've owned for a while but I don't know what the line is called. They look to be later Sungold figs. I really like 'em...   |

I've been looking for that figure with the red hair and blue shirt. He (and the other one too) look like Elves. I like that. Slap some armour on and they fit right in a fantasy setting. I love the fact they have pointed ears!!

I don't think they came with armour, just belts. I don't know if they came with GW swords, but I got those two with the swords and since they're GF swords - why the heck not!
The guy with red hair and blue shirt has a nice Lion-O hairdo.

*resurrecting thread*  here's a list of all the Sungold figures I know of: Galaxy Warriors - Masters of the Universe Knock-Offs, re-released as Freedom Fighters* Galaxy Adventure Girl - Golden Girl & The Guardians of the Gemstones knock-offs** Wrestler - version 1, wrestling figures that come with jackets Action Captain - He-man style (and size) soldiers Lazer Force - 3 figures with snap-on armor Special Force: A Team of Modern Army - G.I. Joe knock-offs with open legs, four sculpts in either blue or green Desert Defenders - G.I. Joe knock-offs with straight legs & camouflage Pirates: Fighting Treasure - pirates in cloth outfits, comparable to Pirates of the Galaxseas or Fighting Furies Monster - monsters, six regular action figures and 12 mini-figures Wrestler - version 2, wrestling figures with body paint and a WWF style logo and card Galaxy Warriors: End of Time: The Last Battle - w/ randomly packed brightly colored armor and weapons Skate Machine - remote controlled skateboard/roller-skates with (mostly) End of Time figures There are four lines that are considered Sungold, even though I've not found card art with a Sungold logo/copyright: Galaxy Warriors: Swords & Sorcerers - cards say Acamas toys (a UK company, probably licensed from Sungold) Dino Warriors - no logo or copyright at all on package Turly Gang - card says Euro Play Lord of Insects - no logo or copyright at all on package As these all use predominately Sungold heads (mostly from Galaxy Warriors) and bodies so I get why they very well could have originated at Sungold, I don't have any to see if the figures have Sungold copyrights on them, but I think the Swords & Sorcerers ones might. A thank you to Drekkus below for reminding me of the Pirates and G.I. Joe lines, and for introducing me to Skate Machine, it's good to know that you can get Sungold figures riding giant rollerskates  .
*the blog Galaxy Warriors by Sungold postulates that the reason for the name change might be because of Woolworth's Galaxy Warriors (the die-cast ones that were also the basis of Treasures of Those Lost Temples: Warriors), I think that's a pretty sound theory.
** re-released with rooted hair, Sungold ones have helmets w/ plastic hair. |

Yea those two are both marked sungold. There are several different markings on the others: china, sungold made in hong kong, and no marking at all. How many series were there? Do you have a pic of yours?

This thread: actionfiguresca.proboards.com/thread/12879/figures-sungold-derived-small-castpost 8 and post 14 show my sungold and sungold like Wrestlers Besides the pics that thread holds a ton of information Challengers\ Gladiators (not marked) are not Sungold but use Sungold wrestler heads The 2 unknowns (not marked) in my pics i haven't been able to tie to a line or manufacturer All others, Wrestler v1 (marked sungold), v2 (marked sungold) and v3 (marked China), as far as i know where made by Sungold Your two more fantasy like figs I'm totally in the dark about as what they belong to. I knew they where sungold but to my best knowledge they aint part of the known wrestler line. |

Yeah it totally seems like there's Wrestler v1 (with the jackets, i still need visuals for all figuress in the line), Wrestler v2 (the body/face paint ones) and a third wrestling line from Sungold that we have no name or card art for that uses Galaxy Warriors: End of Time-style heads.
(I know this because Lord Quasar Drekkus up there is awesome)

First, you would have to find out who in China made it. Then, you would have to sue in an international court. Even if you got a judgment, you likely would not collect anything.
