Underworld Warriors

[matt]

i got these pics from ebay auctions that just ended. I was super interesed in these and totally forgot about the auction ending today. Oh well . Any way I went and tried finding any info on them but the toyarchive and virtualtoychest had nothing. the only other info that came up in a google search was the ended ebay auctions. Here are the pics (not the best) but any help would be great (they look like they would fit in with MOTU ) Thanks

THis is the first time I've seen them.

I have the one on the bottom loose . They are way crappy I guess a Nightmare Warrior knock off of sorts. They are VERY poorly made and dont even come close to being able to stand up alone. I saw them too, and was actually more into the card art than the figures. They will now be too expensive if they ever pop up being the action figures archives water has been chummed. I think Vipermaxx just polished one off to the pics.

They have the same kind of card as all the Galaxy-type figures.

Yeah I was digging the cards also. ITs to bad they are crappily made. I noticed that all the figs have the same body and weapons just different heads. Oh well I guess I lost interest then (if they are that bad Im glad I didnt get them cause I would have opened them).

The comment about vipermaxx is classic

So who's this Vipermaxx? Sounds like he's your arch enemy or something =)

Vipermaxx buys up allot of the MOTU knock-off and lesser known vintage fantasy figure lines on Ebay then tries to flip them as soon as he gets them. Problem is most of the collectors who would be interested in these figures were either bidding on or watching the original auctions, then don' twant to buy them for the marked up prices. He must be making some money though as he's been doing this for about a year now. I'm sure he frequents these boards under a different alias or something.

[Ghouldrool]

Aah. There's this petty dealer who does the same thing on our local Ebay site too here in the Netherlands. First he outbids everyone, THEN puts them straight back on and tries to make a profit. It's ludicrous. No serious collector is going to buy it anymore then! But as long as he's got the cash, he keeps buying up figures and trying to pawn them off. I keep waiting for him to quit.
Thing is, this has spawned a number of guys trying to do the same and with a nasty side effect. If 'rare'toys change hands from dealer to dealer to dealer multiple times and each one of them tries to make a profit, this artificially raises the price of a figure since the common sellers see the prices that are being asked, and thus assume their stuff is rare too. I've seen that happen so often, Someone offers up a Twistoid for $50 and three days later several more people think every MOTU is worth at least $20 loose. Argh I hate these types, PLEASE go collect stamps.

Its ok I burn him at least once a month , hes paid VERY high on some auctions that no one else is going to pay the money on. He throws in the insane bid thinking people are going to nickel and dime and not get a bid in and them BAM a sweet taste of the Meatybat making him pay hundreds for something that only 5 people know what it is. Sucka. They will end up like the Earth Force $99.99 to start and $19.99 when its all said and done.

My parents used to make mad cash at collectible shows. They'd get stuff dirty cheap and sell it for slightly cheap. They'd make $800 to $1000 from the other dealers in the first 20 min. Sometimes before they even got the truck unloaded. Then they'd only make another $800 for the rest of the day, mostly from other dealers. Not too bad. That was the 90's though I'm not sure you can do that anymore. Friends like vipermaxx are rare these days.

This is one line that I'll gladly be passing on. Wow!!! Skeleton Warriors that look like they were hit by a truck.

[gammo]

Holy crap. I just recently got my hands on some of these figures. I recently wrote a blog article having no idea what these thing were.

Thanks for posting the package pics.

[Meatybat]

I have the one cared that is just a Skeleton in plain white , bought it from the seller that sold the carded ones from the first pic. Oddly enough I never see the weapons ever pop up in lots , and I've bought TONS of fantasy / He-Man lots in my day and have never come across them.

I'm wondering if this is a variation or just a mix-up...check it:



Not often you have two of these babies side by side (no matter how briefly). I noticed one had his hair painted all the way down to the brow (ignore the broken tip on the horn).

[muckmonster87]

looks like a shoddy paint job to me

[slm2024]

so, did the hype build or crash on these? hope it crashed...
i've been on/off searching these out for awhile now.
haven't yet come across any on the bay....really want that pink/orange one!

[countzackula]

Ehhh...figured it was just a paint mishap...but figured, just in case, I'd post it for future reference. As for hype about these...eh, probably not enough people a) interested or b)knowledgeable about these for there to be substantial hype. Not to be a bragging little bast- uh...jerk...but I just "completed" a set of six, so to speak. Weird. I'll hafta gather 'em all together for a group shot one of these days. Too bad the one I have is carded...I wanna open him so bad!

[dannyrand]

Congrats on completing Count, You need to open em. Release him from his plastic tomb. We need to see the group shot!

And yes the hype is over, over, over, no one is looking for these, especially me
