I came her for Sun-Man. A cool vintage line with a heartwarming origin story, just a shame that 4 of the figures never made it passed the prototype phase. But thanks to Olmec Toys partnering up with Mattel to add Rulers of the Sun Characters to the Masters of the Universe Origins toy line, Kikto, Duplico, Hypno, and Zap-Man finally have the presence on toy collectors' shelves that they deserve.
Never would I have guessed that the cheesy skull headed guy with a glitter filled torso my aunt got me for christmas one year would have been considered collectible...
I'm a transformer collector...but as a kid. He-Man, G.I.Joe and Star Wars were my toy box filler. I never got into collecting He-Man, just because of this reason. So many knockoffs and very little info due to no internet back then. I just bought most of the Mega Construx motu figures and sets. Gotta be honest it's rekindled that flame a little that I might try and collect motu, but some of these KOs are looking cool too. Thanks for giving me a little insight on ko world of the masters.
Here in Mexico we have a massive knock offs, some of them even more “valuable” than the original piece, and so much hard to find it. I have a little collection of knock offs and they are my favorites
Ed's Retro Geek Out yeah! Rodrigo it’s a great guy, i did a few business with him, he have an amazing collection, he has some retractors here in Mexico, pretty much all of them are resellers that ask way way more than the normal price and Rodrigo put them on their place.
Not a collector but growing up in the 80s and 90s my parents never really bought me toys and I find myself always watching these toy videos on RUclips all the time. This channel is by far the best in the “RUclips toys history” videos, it’s the closest thing to Netflixs show “toys that made us”. I use to work in film production and I appreciate the production value, the research, and solid writing. Good job dude, keep it up and I’m sure you’ll eventually get picked up by some network somewhere.
Woah thanks so much 🤓 there’s a couple channels that do it way better than me like the toys that made us but also justice cury’s amazon show “plastic Crack”, pixel dan, toy galaxy, retroblasting and laura legends are all such great content creators i look up to
My family would all get together for new years and exchange Christmas gifts with family that didn't live close together. When I was a kid, Voltron was huge. That year I and my cousins got a LOT of knock off Voltron toys. There was one of 5 motorcycles that combined into a robot. I got 3 or 4 of those that year. From what I remember, it was actually a decent figure when combined.
I used to have a couple of the speclatron figures when I was a little kid, back then I didn't know they weren't just odd MOTU figures. Glad to see someone mention them.
Kids these days don't know how amazing it was for Toy's back then, growing up in the 80's going to the Toy stores like Toy's R Us was huge, just PACKED full of action figures and vehicles like some of the pictures in this video. Seeing all those GI Joe figures and vehicles hits me in the nostalgia feels. Thankfully as a kid I got pretty much all the figures I wanted, I pretty much had everything you could think of. It's just sad we don't have stores like this anymore and never will again.
Grab a beer, throw yourself in the couch, Ed's here with some Toy History. Just when I thought 'the toys that made us' was cool... Fantastic series. Again amazing research. And that Castle looked really weird and cool!
Spot on🤗..i remember in mid 80's here where i am MOTU used to be only 7 bucks and what a great price..but alas i am still in junior school and can only afford to save money to buy a He-Man...Sungold Galaxy Warriors were only 3 bucks and sold side by side with Motu..needless to say mum only bought for us those GW..😊
I remember when I was five and my mom asked me what I wanted for christmas and I said I want he-man, she replied is that the buff blonde dude wearing only his underwear, I said yeah that's the one, behold I ended getting hulk hogan instead of he-man hahahaha, I suppose is a very valid confusion
Man that brings back memories I remember my father buying me so many knock-offs it's used to piss me off as a kid so Thanks for the Memories man I still have a lot of those Masters of the Universe knock-offs figures and the real figures of He-Man and Masters of the Universe as well.
Yet another interesting and educational Toy History lesson Ed! The only Knock Off toy I remember getting and still have is a Shockwave G1 Transformers that I got in Hungary back in the day. Looks exactly like the original apart from the slight colour difference and different packaging of course that has nothing to do with Transformers, but in both robot and gun mode has the same light and sound effects. And I still have this in my collection and it still works! Funny enough I never ended up getting an "original" G1 Shockwave. Maybe time to add the "real one" to the collection...?
I remember getting knock off Ninja Turtles for a Christmas gift exchange in the 4th grade. I was so let down because I already had them. Swapmeets were my second home and still are. I still have them.
2:30 Skull Man! My favourite! I miss him! 2:34 Guana! My first ever MOTU-like figure! 5:22 Kobra! I still (barely) have him in one piece! 9:30 I had a very similar skull with clear chest filled w/water and glitters - or was that one? Water finally leaked out.
Thanks for making this video, I didn't realize how many Warlord action figures I owned as a kid. Deep down I knew they weren't MOTU, but I still paired them up in epic battles.
Really interesting and colorful video. I found it fascinating. I grew up during this time and had no inkling those other ones even existed, besides the DC characters. Also the room you're shooting in looks like a paradise. I remember going to a Toys r' us later and someone complaining about all the pvc. The smell oddly always cheered me up and made me nostalgic for all the good parts of my childhood. Thanks for the memories and knowledge bomb.
WOW I caught a flash back.Hey I had that sunman action figure the muscle pig man.My pops bought it thinking it was a He-man toy.I ain't care he blended well with my toys.Thx so much Ed be safe be blessed take care everyone.
Wow. I had that Sungold devil skeleton guy (at 5:50)! Lost a long time ago and completely forgotten about until now. Wow. I remember seeing so many of those generic Sungold knockoffs throughout my childhood. They just used whatever heads they felt like putting on that body! I recall troll doll heads, various monsters, etc.
That was pretty cool. It would be awesome if you do something similar with tmnt and its "inspired" lines like the fighting frogs, the Street sharks, the samurai pizza Cats,... Or a video of Ed about his knock-off James McAvoy 😁😁😁
great stories about the 5.5 figures. I loved collecting MOTU toys growing up and I'm sure I have a knock off in my collection, I'll have to take a look and send you pic ha. This series is really awesome Ed and I can see if taking off big for you. Keep up the great work
I had that sword at 7:36! All these years I thought it was a genuine He-man sword. Alas, I now learn it was a knockoff. A little piece of my childhood just slipped away.
I once saw the greatest knock off ever. It was a Super Powers figure of the Hulk but they used Kingpin's body. For some reason they gave him hair, but being an 80s figure it was frizzy. So it was a pot bellied afro'ed Hulk. So majestic.
80’s knockoff toys are genuinely my favorite thing. I collect knockoff kaiju and dinosaur toys (Imperial, Dor-Mei, etc.). Imperial Dragons are my lifeblood lol. I’d take a weird knockoff over an official any day.
The orange dor-mei ankylosaurus could be seen in Terminator 2 (inside the offices of Cyberdyne,) I noticed because mine was sitting on my TV back then!
Holy shit, I cant front I totally didn't expect you to cover Sun-Man, I was ready to comment about that line because it was so impactful on me and my brothers/friends.
Awesome video! There was a toy company called Soma that made knock off MOTU figures as well as knock-off power rangers and more. I never had any of these figures as a kid, but if I ever come across any, I'd pick them up. The only thing of theirs I had were tiny 2" vinyl figurines of pirates, ninjas, and robots.
Dam ! Ed ,this post kicked ASS ! ...info ,photo, & MORE photo,s..love it ,and you didnt made all those dumb noises & sounds like that OTHER knock off info channel.I grew up broke ,so k/o were a way of life.I had the MOTU main guys ,but the other 12 were Galaxy Warriors ,et. thanks for the good vibes !
I think I still have a surviving Galaxy Warrior brown wolfman knock-off doll action figure bootleg whatever somewhere. I had a few of them back in the day along with MOTU and TMNT long gone murdered toys 😣
Two toy lines stand out to me with being subject to myriad knockoffs; Transformers and Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. So many companies brought out transforming vehicles and twelve inch dolls with similar points of articulation(fingers, multiple points in each appendage, swiveling joints with a ball bearing). I don’t really recall a lot of others that didn’t have their own cartoon or comic book associated.
Ed's Retro Geek Out what’s crazy is I looked into it and some of the knock offs in the US were rebrands from other Sentai shows that the companies must have licensed on the cheap.
-I've spent hours watching Phelous showing off the various knock-offs of Galaxy Warriors and their spin-offs, which he's nicknamed "The Galaxy Hole." -And now you show us other galaxies! -The Sun God figures looked so good! -So, what happens when you push the back of the Speclatrons? Is it like a pump mechanism that makes the glitter move about?
Oh sh...nap. I forgot a lot of these even figures existed until seeing them in this video. I had a ton of those Warlord figures. Probably all 600 feet underground in a landfill by now. Would really suck if the premise behind 'Toy Story' was real... You now have another subscriber BTW.
You really should do GI Joe and Transformers. So many knock offs of both of those. Also I think it is funny that some people still think Go Bots was a knock off of transformers. HAHAHA.
I don't think we will ever grow up. I introduce my kids to transformer, and all other action figures that now they still collect them even reissues ten years later. My son got all sorts of Transformers line from old to new ones. I got into it to with the new Master of The Universe new toy line. I just can't believe that I now own the first wave, and looking forward to the second wave. I'm just buying it out of nostalgia, and soon I look forward to passing it along to my grand kids.
Action figures are dolls, the same way that dolls are action figures. You play with both of them, "mimicking" human movement or actions. Some people think "dolls" means "for girls" (as though girls never played with action figures like He-Man or boys never played with dolls with dresses, etc) so that's where the distinction comes from. It's a stupid distinction. lol I make toys, collect them, etc. Toys are always toys -- meaning to be played with -- unless they are statues, busts, etc that are meant to just sit somewhere, not to be played with. Great video, subscribed :)
@@Kai0nTheMoon 😆 I had the swimming tmnt for Xmas their 1st year out cuz No one anywhere had the nonswimming tmnt figures. I remember being upset but still thankful for them. Today now it's a ton easier to get the tmnt figures but no one I talk to remembers the swimming tmnt figures! Lol how much would they go for now you think? My older brother and I had the swimming donatello and swimming Leonardo. (We eventually got all the figures from the first set but it took 2 years.) I bet my parents was sick of ninja turtles lmao.
I have one, think I got it on ebay or aliexpress, paid like $25 a few years ago. Plastics really cheap on it, it's exactly as bad as you would expect it to be... but at the same time its awesome
It’s an awesome figure for KO collectors 👍🏽 It’s a bootleg of the “Loco Squad Commander” train combiner by Leader Shine (aka Champion Crown) who made all of those generic transforming robot dinosaurs, animals, insects, reptiles, etc in the 2000’s that kinda **looked** like Beast Wars but weren’t 😅 Aside from the Loco Squad, one of their best figures was the Appliance Robo combiner 😄 No lie, it was a refrigerator, TV, stereo, etc that combined into a big robot 😆 Some of my favorite KOs of my collection 😎
It's one of those figures which is so shitty you have to have it if you collect retro toys. Just like that 'Sense of right alliance' pack of superhero figures, which i think has Superman, Spiderman, 2 Power Rangers, Shreck and the car from Disney Cars. Fucking epppiiiccc
Hi, As a life long fan of the original 'He-Man' line, i do remember there being knock off's, as 'Power Ranger's' did too i had Tommy the Green/white ranger :)
I came her for Sun-Man. A cool vintage line with a heartwarming origin story, just a shame that 4 of the figures never made it passed the prototype phase. But thanks to Olmec Toys partnering up with Mattel to add Rulers of the Sun Characters to the Masters of the Universe Origins toy line, Kikto, Duplico, Hypno, and Zap-Man finally have the presence on toy collectors' shelves that they deserve.
Would love the get the vintage bad guy
These knock- offs were the kind of toys you could find at fairgrounds during the 80's.

Some people think "dolls" means "for girls" (as though girls never played with action figures like He-Man or boys never played with dolls with dresses, etc) so that's where the distinction comes from. It's a stupid distinction. lol
I make toys, collect them, etc. Toys are always toys -- meaning to be played with -- unless they are statues, busts, etc that are meant to just sit somewhere, not to be played with.
Great video, subscribed :)
Thanks so much 🤓🤘
I agree, I never quite understood why some collectors get so mad when you call their action figures dolls lol, it's the same thing.
Time to sell the house so I can get a Speclatron figure.
🤔theres 2 on ebay for 1400$
@@EdsRetroGeekOut yeah my wife totally wont kill me
I had four of them as a kid. All long gone. Yet another reason I'd like to go back in time and slap my younger self in the face.
@@Kai0nTheMoon 😆 I had the swimming tmnt for Xmas their 1st year out cuz No one anywhere had the nonswimming tmnt figures. I remember being upset but still thankful for them. Today now it's a ton easier to get the tmnt figures but no one I talk to remembers the swimming tmnt figures! Lol how much would they go for now you think? My older brother and I had the swimming donatello and swimming Leonardo. (We eventually got all the figures from the first set but it took 2 years.) I bet my parents was sick of ninja turtles lmao.
This channel is the perfect toy channel love it! :)
Thanks 🤓
You are very welcome Ed. 😃
One of the best knockoff lines was Biker Mice from Mars.
Eh, that’s not really a knock off. It had its own cartoon.
There was a knock of those figures called Jupiter Power
@@geoffreychauvin1474 It was a KO. Just cus it had a cartoon dosen't make it not a KO
I had a Remco - Craven and a Galoob Blackstar -- Tongo. He was cool a sort of yellow tiger with glow in the dark weapons and a weapon pack.
Knock offs were great for army building and world building
As a kid I had that toy C-2132 from your video @ 10:02 I was probably in the 1st or 2nd grade. I was a happy kid, still am 😄
Wow id love to have that dragon looks so cool!
Wow, I remember seeing that warlords ad in comics. That was a loooong time ago.
Ive never seen the figures they did look cool tough 🤓
Hahahaha! Yessss, great vid, I want a spook chasers now 👻
I want them too 🤠🤘
Cool video brotha ...channel is growing nicely 👌🏼
Thanks 🤓
i really want that mecha thomas the tank engine
james brooking who doesn’t want the mecha Thomas
I have one, think I got it on ebay or aliexpress, paid like $25 a few years ago. Plastics really cheap on it, it's exactly as bad as you would expect it to be... but at the same time its awesome
It looks so bad its gotta ve good!
It’s an awesome figure for KO collectors 👍🏽 It’s a bootleg of the “Loco Squad Commander” train combiner by Leader Shine (aka Champion Crown) who made all of those generic transforming robot dinosaurs, animals, insects, reptiles, etc in the 2000’s that kinda **looked** like Beast Wars but weren’t 😅 Aside from the Loco Squad, one of their best figures was the Appliance Robo combiner 😄 No lie, it was a refrigerator, TV, stereo, etc that combined into a big robot 😆 Some of my favorite KOs of my collection 😎
It's one of those figures which is so shitty you have to have it if you collect retro toys. Just like that 'Sense of right alliance' pack of superhero figures, which i think has Superman, Spiderman, 2 Power Rangers, Shreck and the car from Disney Cars. Fucking epppiiiccc
Hi, As a life long fan of the original 'He-Man' line, i do remember there being knock off's, as 'Power Ranger's' did too i had Tommy the Green/white ranger :)
Power rangers had a lot of weird ko’s 🤓
@@EdsRetroGeekOut Yes, i'm sure, :)
Vintage FOREVERRR!!!😎💙
Vintage! 🤘🤘🤘
