Knock Off and Bootleg He-Man Style Figures

So last summer I became interested in collecting all those copy-cat figures designed to look like Masters of the Universe figures. The were made by tons of different companies in a wide range of quality, and I remember seeing them in store well into the 2000's.

I figured this would be a lot easier than it turned out being. By collecting this type of toy I've sort of discovered two things.

First, a bunch of bitter, paranoid, vulture-like collectors live in my area. When you ask if people have a toy that they previously ignored they immediately become suspicious of you, or begin hoarding it themselves.

The second thing I discovered was an excellent online community of people NOT from the Buffalo area that collect lesser-known toys, including Knock offs and Bootlegs. Most of the collection below was gotten via trades with these guys, and shipped to me from all over the place.

So the figures below are from several different lines. I've pared down my collection recently, and am only actively collection figures from a few of these lines.
