Man, these characters just keep coming back. I think they're a well-defined enough line of action figures that they should have a cartoon of their own. And Phelan should have full creative control. Because no one else knows the action figures as well as he does. And he'd do a lot of the voice work too, of course.

Baltard is like the biggest joke in this series. I love it.

Whoa…at 6:02, that 4-legged dinosaur. I’ve got something REALLY similar to that. I distinctly remember he smelled nice, kinda fruity almost, like a bag of sweets. He was green, too. I wonder if one of my parents bought me a Galaxy Warriors figure to go along with my He-Man stuff at some point? That would blow my mind. Although it could just be a generic dinosaur mold that was used often.

You know, it takes a special kind of man to take something generally considered low quality and make it a more than watchable show. Well done, Phelan. I just discovered your channel and I think I'm gonna stick with it for a while.

As a native French speaker, I love how awkward the translations to French are on these cards. 0:58 - "Les super monstres" isn't too bad, it's grammatically correct I suppose but it does sound weird. "Complet avec bouclier, cuirasse et arme" is just nonsense though, it's a direct translation of the English term "complete with..." which doesn't exist in French. Normally you'd just say "avec bouclier, etc..." and I think on a toy packaging, they might use "vendu avec bouclier, etc..." (which translates to "sold with shield, etc..."). 1:25 - "Fabriqué à Chine" I'll give them a pass on the lack of accents as it's capitalized but the grammar is completely wrong and it's quite amazing they managed to get it this wrong considering it's a common term found on many products. The way they wrote it just doesn't mean anything. the closest English equivalent for what they did would be "made to China" but I tink it makes even less sense in French. To make this even weirder, the correct term is "Fabriqué en Chine" which translates literally to "Made in China" so I have no idea why they put extra effort into it only to get it wrong. 1:43 - "Collectionnez La Gamme Complète De Guerriers Et Accessores Galaxy". Again, grammatically correct but still weird. For starters, they decided to capitalize every word for some reason, despite not doing so for the English text, they forgot an accent and this time they don't have the excuse of it being all-caps and they spelled "accessoires" wrong (forgot the "i"). They also wrote it like "Galaxy" is the name of the line. 3:15 - "Les Guerriers GALAXIE". This one is just hilarious to me as it's a direct translation of "Galaxy Warriors" but it's just nonsense in French. The correct term would have been "Les guerriers de la galaxie" or maybe "Les guerriers galactiques" (in fact, that one sounds better) but they way it's written there, it doesn't make any sense and in fact seems to be implying that the warriors ARE a galaxy which is admittedly an amazing concept. 3:22 - "Avec armements". Again, utter nonsense and again, I'm pretty sure it's the result of a direct translation. The word "armement" does exist in French but it refers to the action of acquiring weapons.

It's strange how fascinating it is. It really *should* be super fucking boring with how much he goes into the little details in comparing things. But he makes it interesting somehow.

I'm so happy somebody finally bothered to bootleg Spikes, as he's my favourite Galaxy Warrior cx He just doesn't seem to get much love and variants, sadly.

The orange-torsoed, green-pantsed, blonde-haired guy kind of looks like Aquaman.

Similar to the original logo and card art, the Huk art on the Galaxie card seems to be a direct lift from the Frazetta Snow Giants painting, the piece that originally inspired Huk. Its the exact same pose, with the hair of his beard positioned in a very similar way, and the breastplate is almost identical, including the two circle plates at the top and the smaller circles that curve around the buckle at the bottom. The green Dragoon is also in nearly the same position as the warrior not-Huk is fighting in the original art, though the shield he's holding has been slightly redesigned, most noticeably getting rid of the point at the center. The differences are, besides him stealing Magnon's helmet, is his axe has been changed from the double-bladed version to something more closely resembling the Galaxy Warriors axe.

At this rate it's going to be the Galaxy version of Idiocracy...Baltarcracy.

13:56 The tanner torso vs arms is also common on China/Spanish Wrestler toys. Thanks China for kind of giving up. Honestly, the quality probably comes down to what the distributer wants to pay for a run of toys. The harder they negotiate for lower price points, they lower quality points.

I can relate to this. I'm a simple girl. I see a new Bootleg Zones episode, I click.

BY THE POWER OF KNOCK-OFFS!

I feel like Anubi having a head in a different color makes some sense - his body looks like that of a human, and has little to no hair, while his head is covered in fur. So having a black or red head seems fine. To a lesser extent, the snake guy Sahak also can afford having a flesh colored body (since it's human) and a differently colored head (since it's a snake head). These arguments I guess fit for Tiger Man and Dino Man respectively. Not sure how it would make sense for the others, especially when the character is completely human-looking. (also, is it wrong I'd like to have some of those from the line that comes with a dinosaur ? TBH, I was heavily obsessed with dinosaurs as a kid, so I guess my inner child wants those just for the dino)

Theory: All of these figures were done under the same company but in different factories under different names. Perhaps so collectors would buy more, or perhaps just really bad communication. But there's no way that them using the same strange shipping company is a coincidence.

I so much wish they re-release again the Galaxy Warriors original line, It's a shame I didn't get those when I was a kid!

I remember all of this shit from a Chinese Importer shop I used to buy pocket knives and brass knuckles and shit at as a kid. They had this huge rack of knock-off toys for cheap ass parents, I remember thinking they were goofy as shit. Although I did buy some knock-off pellet guns that broke in like a day, should have realized they were shit because of the Engrish all over the boxes but I was 11.

Very cool that you found a Muscle Warrior figure that could double as a Voodoo Doll for yourself! Ha haha ha! I love mustached Tritain! I also highly enjoy the running Baltard gags! Great job on this video!

Oh man, 8:05 makes me laugh every time.

My THOR figure from TREASURES OF THOSE LOST TEMPLES WARRIORS also doesn't have demon-eyes, ( 15:31 ), oh well.... I hope you'll one day compile a playlist of all the different versions of the theme tunes ( 16:13 ) used on your channel! :) If you ever get a FallApartTard ( 22:45 ) with a purple body and caucasoid head, you could mix-&-match them to their correct colour-schemes!

17:17 Judging by the length of the neck and tail, it could be a Mamenchisaurus - aka. Memesaurus. SPAGHET!!!

That vague circle is often seen on many bootlegs

Galaxy Warriors? Galaxy Fighters Galaxy Heroes? Muscle Warriors Hotel? Trivago

I discovered some folks online who have started scanning these guys for 3D printing. I have been slowly collecting and painting my own collection, it's been pretty fun.

the line between "variants" and random results from slapdashedly using molds and parts to churn out whatever crap you can...

you should start selling these things. save yourself. before its too late!!! BALTARD!!!!

The swirly red pattern on the back of Sahak looks like the Crest of love from digimon.

I used to own that European version of Sahak (Green and orange head). I think by far that is the best version of Sahak. The original was cheaply made. I owned that as well and the head came off easily.

Just so you know.... HE SEEN EVERYTHING...!! LOL If there's ever a galaxy hole movie, it MUST be phelous just playing with bootlegs.....

Muscle Warriors Baltard looks sooo sad. If just his supreme cousin would be more friendly to him. It's not his fault being a knockoff with a dirty chin and mismatching body. The Baltard family needs some serious counseling to settle their issues.

Phelous: GOD bless you; where can I get some of them?

I think they went with "Muscle" because of the M.U.S.C.L.E. mini figure trend at the time. I do remember seeing figures with these exact same molds, but about half the size of the ones you show here. I also think some of them came with vehicles, but I'm not certain on that.

-16:12 Perfect reference indeed. Cue Le Sad Mustache Tritons.

I've been waiting for this one! it just gets more and more convoluted!

Baltard always comes across as the kind of guy who'd "Fall to pieces", but I never expected him to do so literally. Stupid falling apart Baltard!

Oh wow so a horribly warped nose is a common thing with Muscle Warriors Anubi. I thought it was a thing with mine... I ended up carving it off and sculpting one based on photos of a proper Anubi. Mine had a head color that very closely matched the body color, too. I honestly think the head of the guy on the Muscle Warriors is some freakish hybrid of Gallant from Combo (which I hope you'll review some day) and Magnon's resculped Muscle Warriors helmet (which interestingly enough matches the Galaxy Heroes Magnon card art incredibly well).

I suspect the "twisting head n waist," et cetera, was due to being printed by someone French who didn't quite understand English. Since n is often used in place of "and," it's more than likely he thought n by itself was the English "et."

According to another comment, the French is actually pretty terribly translated/written, so French was not their first language. My guess would be to save space? I guess? Not that it saves that much, but since they were writing it in two languages instead of one, maybe removing those two characters a few times saved just enough space to make things fit. But if that were the case, why not use an ampersand or even a plus sign? Hmm. The other guess I could make is that not only was French not their native language, but English wasn't either, given they were produced in China and Hong Kong. The problem with that theory is that other than the "n", none of the English is really all that bad. So... yeah, I really don't know. But it's not because they were French.
