Yes...although I don't think they all did...I have seen some in panted form (although I do not own any). I'm pretty sure the pant-clad versions were released under a Combo line more so based off of a straight-up Rambo ripoff. The card simply had the word "COMBO" in blocky letters with a flaming background.

The problem with these KO (Knock Off) lines are they seem to be cheaply made in Hong Kong and so many variations were made of each and different packagings such as Galaxy Heroes, Galaxy Fighters, Galaxy Warriors, Defenders of the Planets, Fantasy World, and Swords and Sorcerers. I am on a hunt for a few and new to this forum if anyone can direct me to those who have these figures for sale let me know. I see on ebay alot of auctions and sellers since Nov 2011 with these figs but the sellers have no clue what weapons and shields go to who. I have compiled accurate lists and pics of who is who and what goes with them. There seems to be no real dedicated site that shows each piece all the variations and weapons maybe one day we will see a complete listing.

If you check the Figure Guide on this site, it will show you the figure and weapons that go with most of the lines you mentioned. |

Thank you, Sorry I should have been more clear in my post this site is dedicated just meant all of them (complete line) I guess that there is still specimens popping up that us collectors are unaware of from these particular lines.

I've wanted to start collecting MOTU knock-offs for a while now, but it probably has more knock-off lines than any toy line ever, and the task of educating your self on them all is more than a little daunting. This thread has been a HUGE help. Thanks for all the great info!
Does anyone have any tips on the best way to get the best hits on eBay without having to sift through so many actual MOTU listings? These specific names will help, but I'd bet most sellers don't know what they have. I assume including "like" as in "He-Man-like" and "Knock-off" would help?

There is a book in the works that should handle your needs on this subject. Maybe not to a crazy level of variation detail. But hitting the major stuff. |

I assume including "like" as in "He-Man-like" and "Knock-off" would help? saved searches that may help "sungold, sewco, galaxy heroes, galaxy warriors, defender planets, remco, sun-man, olmec, warrior beasts, conan, turly." When it comes to the actual company names, make sure the saved search searches the item description as well. Because often, as you said, sellers will not know what they have, and will just list the company name that's on the figure. |

It seems I am the only one but I always loathed the knock-offs even at a very young age. I always liked quality in my toys and these guys just looked like total cheepo geeks to me. Was I a snob? I can see the charm of them now but I know I will never collect them. Good news to anyone who is looking for them for if I find any at fleas now I will buy them and I will have no attachment to them. I have passed over a lot of these things in the past.

I'm with ya on that one. I dont care for them or quality either. I try and hunt them down just to resale them to other collectors to make a buck or two.  |

Has anyone heard of a line called "End of Time: The Last Battle" Galaxy Warriors? Just saw one on Ebay, they wanted a large amount of cash for. I've seen regular Galaxy Warriors, but I think this is a sub line? (I don't collect KO's, so excuse me if I'm mistaken). The card says "End of Time The Last Battle" on it.

Here's one I got on a Wrestling Champions card w/ a sidious looking championship belt. On the back it has the versions of the Combos with pants, that you see around once-in-a-while.   I've got some with the same card front (art is the same, need to check the text) but totally different cardback. |

Has anyone heard of Click to view larger image and other views "End of Time: The Last Battle" Galaxy Warriors? Just saw one on Ebay, they wanted a large amount of cash for. I've seen regular Galaxy Warriors, but I think this is a sub line? (I don't collect KO's, so excuse me if I'm mistaken). The card says "End of Time The Last Battle" on it. It is apparently a subsequent release using the Galaxy Warriors bodies by Sungold and attaching new more bizarre heads. There are 8 figures in the line up and you can see pictures of all of them here: www.onlinetoyshow.com/figure_lines_Detail.php?Line_Id=126 |

Jeez, Drekkus...you almost gave me a heart attack of happiness...I thought you had found out official names for these when I first peeked at your site! Ooh...oh...my heart...ouch! I'm still trying to decide my own custom names for these dudes, myself. Anyhow...I'll jam this bit o' info into this thread...... Won this eBay auction recently. Yeah, I hate it, but it's hard to get this kinda stuff anywhere else. It's also expensive as Hell! If you troll around on there, you probably saw this too. Hopefully I didn't crush anyone's dreams of ownership, but here these guys are:  Part Muscle Warriors, part Combo, part End of Time...part Lazer Force?! What the heck are they? I was scared they might be fakes or customs. They still might just be wrestler types in special KO armor for all I know. Unless we see packaged samples or tons of hearsay...who really knows WHAT these boys are.  I switched their armor around to make 'em more "color-coded", but I kinda like the Fruit-Loopy look they came presented in.  The heads I've mainly seen on Muscle Warriors figures...the dudes with the solid-below-the-waist legs. The one head is the mustached guy and the other is the bearded "sub-Thor". Here they are with their counterparts. God, these better not be fakes!  The bodies I've seen mainly on one of the many versions of Combo and Combo Hero/Warrior figures...and some wrestlers. The armor is like that of the End of Time: Last Battle figures...but not as hard...a tad more flexible, if that means anything. If you look back, I mentioned Lazer Force. The armor remnants may or may not even go with these. They may be bootlegs. Probably. I just wish I had a whole set of that red and yellow Lazer Force armor! By the way...you really gotta cram that thing on the figures' heads...ouch! Any thoughts, opinions or info? Aaaaanyone? I've love to see these carded. |

IMO the best MOTU KO line has got to be the Sun Man/Rulers of the Sun line. They fit perfectly into the MOTU world. Anyone feel the same?

Thanks. Found a picture now. Paid 50 euro for this set (just wanted the tiger :-)) Is this too much?

Not sure about value on that line. Try and sell the rest in the lot to recoup a little cash back. It looks great with Remco Conan sitting on it though. There's also a black version of this, I can't remember from what line though.

Rocklord is absolutely right that its the Big Jim Tiger. I think the black panther he's referring to is also from big jim.
I do believe 50 euros for the things in your profile pic is a bit much. But then again i don't really know the motu prices of today. And if the 50 euros is including shipping you should be ok.

Thank you both, it was indeed including shippingcosts. Going to hunt for knock offs again today. Motu is great but some of the knockoffs are my favorite :-) Still no luck on the appointment with the 2 x monster castle guy , also no pictures yet, he says next week so keeping my fingers crossed.
