Had gotten one of these a little while ago...found out what they were, and then recently got another in a trade. Don't know if my suppliers want to remain anonymous or not, but thanks!
Anyway, these guys are called POWER FIGHTERS. I'm not sure of the manufacturer or date of release. They are a bit under four inches. The main body is die-cast and the head and limbs are plastic.
I'm pretty sure at least four figures exist. They originally came with a silver plastic weapon and yellow Skeletor-esque loincloths. Sadly, mine are both incomplete. Not sure if the characters have names, since I've never seen a cardback. I saw a weird green-bodied one with a alien head on eBay once, but never knew they were as small as they are! I'm assuming they were made as Masters of the Universe knock offs. The card art is awesome. I hope someday, that some one who has a packaged example will show it off. It's some weird dude that looks like a mischievous Man-E-Faces ripoff, pointing and clutching a hatchet! Nice!
The one guy is some human bearded warrior...with some odd mark on his head. I didn't know 'til I held it in my paws that it seems to be a sculpted third eye. That, or a big zit he tried to scratch off before his big blind date! So long, first kiss!
The other guy I have is some evil dude...I'm assuming he's evil...I mean, look at him. I wonder if he's Evil Karzu's brother? He seems to have only one beady balck eye poking out form between a red bandage over his helmet. Creeeeepy!
The limbs all have rotating articulation. I wonder if the Power Fighters and the die-cast Galaxy Warriors had similar makers? The sculpt on the limbs is eerily similar, despite the proportions and materials used.
