Try this:

I found that one, but it references an earlier thread that doesn't seem to exist anymore.


Drekkus: Do the figures hold the shields well? Are they like other Mannix shields (rubbery with C-clamps on the back)?

[figurecollector]

I believe that the last post in that thread was combined with the older thread and the latter thread was added to bring the original back to the top.

Shield fit well, very rubbery and yes C-Clamps on the back
Think they belong to the top row knights

bottom row only came with swords

I actually have a carded example of that line: Chevaliers de legende, cardback is blank

Chevaliers de legende is French and roughly translates to "knights of legend"

[waywardmonk]

Ooh, I like that. Thanks for sharing the pics & info! I'll update the main post with this new line!

[alfi]

Here are some older photos. Most of the figure are sold but maybe a good idea to archive the photos in this thread

Released in Germany (and maybe other European countries; Remus made a lot of cool stuff in the 70s/80s also for Star Wars and MotU).
The "Fun Line" line is from the early 2000's, 2002+ because they were sold with Euro price tags and the Euro as currency was established in 2002).

We have three main "lines":

Skelett-Krieger (Skeleton Warrior)
Ritter (Knight)
Krieger (Warriors)











Edit2: Closeup photos of a losefigure:





Edit: Found another old photo. I think both the figure on the bottom left were sold to someone from this forum. If they haven't been posted yet, maybe he can post better and larger photos of those two:

[drekkus]

Nice one Alfi

That combo knight looks killer

Off topic those "star selection" figs are repacked "atomic ranger warriors", a line made by lanard which is famous for "the corps".

[alfi]

The cardback is awesome of that Combo Knight. I took photos of it, too bad they are on the HDD of my old (and broken) PC.
Maybe the guy it sold it to shows up,I really can't remember who took him and my PM inbox does not really help.

IIRC it was posted somewhere else here in the forums, but don't ask me where.

[waywardmonk]

Really nice stuff Alfi! I haven't seen the Ritter before, that loose bronze one in the close-up is cool. And yeah you're blowing my mind with that Combo Knight, lol. Such a fitting name seeing as these 6" figure variations seem to be as endless as the Galaxy Fighter/Warrior/Hero/Combos are.

[rocklord74]

Sniper got most of your carded figures then sold them to me. The combo knight was cool, and I believe there were other figures on the back of the card. The loose red knight I discovered uses the same body as the five inch star wars storm trooper ko. And the arms from the knights line you have pictured on that colorful card.

Here's a quick pic of the Mannix-like figures I've found so far:

[waywardmonk]

Another great find! Are the cardbacks blank?

[actionplus]

Yes, blank cardbacks. I have really grown to like these figures, especially the monster-like bad guys. Very creative designs.

[waywardmonk]

I found another 6" French figure: Les Gaulois (The Gauls)




And a better look at the card art



and the Chevaliers card art

[drekkus]

Thanks for giving me the heads up on these, Mine arrived a few days ago. They are sweet.

I like the fact that even though these are cheap dollar store figures they made the effort to give the Chevaliers figures at least two different sets of card art

[waywardmonk]

Yeah, minor quibbles aside, all the "Mannix" lines have some really neat designs. A lot of thought and effort went into them.

If anyone else is interested, the French seller still has some more of these. PM me and I'll give the details or just search eBay

[uscmbuzz]

This is the 1st time i have seen other people cut figures from cards in order to keep cardback art intact.

The helmeted knight with red tunic. Its using bootleg darth vader arms and legs. Yknow from those larger 5" foriegn star wars bootlegs from the 90s . The ones that star wars figures look all buff.

The yellow carded bronze colored knight. From germany i think. He is using the legs and torso from a 5" bootleg stormtrooper

[waywardmonk]

I prefer to have loose figures, but I'm preserving the cardbacks for documentation purposes. I do regret throwing away all my Playmates Star Trek cardbacks.

FYI: The Chevalier I got from the French seller with the Gaulois has an extremely strong petroleum smell. You can't smell it through the package at all, but once you open it... wow. Must have been a bad year for plastics in China. The polybagged figures I got were also that way. The Gaulois was fine.

[drekkus]

These two "bad boys" just arrived

[drekkus]

Updated pics of some of my Mannix collection

“Les Gaulois”


Unconfirmed Les Gaulois figures, this is based on the fact that they have no markings and the same 7 screw back as the confirmed Les Gaulois figure i have. The middle one can also be found on “Krieger” card

[drekkus]

“Chevaliers de Legende”




The knight to the right can also be found on “Ritter” card


These figures have a 1 screw back and made in china under both feet

[drekkus]

“Dungeons” and “The Last Frighter”. I think Dungeons and the last frighter lines contained the same 4 figures. The cards do look a like but Dungeons figures came with more accessories. These have 2 screws in the back and no further markings

[drekkus]

“Dark Warriors”, these have 3 screws in the back and are marked made in china to the back of the top of the right leg. Left two are confirmed “dark warriors”, the one to the right is confirmed “Krieger” and "Guerrier Medieval"but i suspect him to also be a dark warrior


Unconfirmed “Dark warriors”, the one on the right can also be found on “Krieger” card

[drekkus]

“Les Demons”, 3 figures in this line. These have 3 screws in the back and are marked made in china to the back of the top of the right leg. Not completely sure these qualify as being mannix like.

[drekkus]

Movable Figure, 2 screws in back and marked china on top of the back left leg

[drekkus]

Skeleton Fighter

[drekkus]

Monsters Maniacs, cardback is blank. Can be found on at least 2 different cards with different leg styles

[drekkus]

Overtop man

[drekkus]

Waywardmonk my friend it is updating time

I knew of another line but first wanted to ask permission from the person who discovered it to share the name and possibly the picture from his personal collection

And he gave it to me. Lenzy (a former member on here) was so kind to give me the permission to share this:

Guerrier Medieval


Really awesome
Ánd Stephane thanks again for letting me use your picture
A wonderful addition to the thread

[kakugo]

Awesone! Thank's for your pics

Yeah, we had these card here in Germany as well. I found the Top Warrior Cards way better with the little illustrations.
