The goal of this blog is to provide information, photographs, and analysis of the action figure toy-line called Galaxy Warriors, produced by Sungold in 1983. Though it is considered an immitation or "knock-off" line of Masters of the Universe, the quality and details of these figures allows them to stand on their own as cool and interesting action figures. I will try to continuously update pages with relevant images and information.

Stubborn Warriors!
Here are some Galaxy Warriors knock-offs made of solid rubber. They are about the size of normal GWs but have no articulation, except for the Spikes figure that appears to have movable arms. The figures have no markings on them to tell us who made them or where they were made.
I can help you out a bit on these. The solid pose guys are ANOTHER line called Muscle Warriors. They got some pics here: http://actionfiguresca.proboards.com/thread/11574/muscle-warriors-solid-articulated-motu
The Spikes bootleg is from a line called Galactic Gladiator. They are blow molded and got different names for them on the back of the card. Spikes became Matubi. I think my favorite though is Thor became Odin.
Oh my god, I recognize the Tiger one! I didn't have it growing up (as I was born in '96), but the internet comedian Stuart Ashen did a video of MOTU knock-offs, and he showed that one! He even mentioned Galaxy Warriors (which, funnily enough, is how I found out about this blog). Here's the video, if you're curious: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEr93uEq65s

Thanks Phelous! I didn't know much about these knock-offs. This information helps a lot.
