Troll Force "Machine Man" MOTU Knock-Off Unboxing and Restoration


Hello folks! So I got my mitts on a "Machine Man" figure from the Troll Force action figure line (we looked at the "Green Yuk" and "Black Ninja" from this line in a previous video.) Troll Force was a knock-off of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. Specifically, it uses parts from a different knock-off line called "Galaxy Warriors," (so this is a knock-off of a knock-off.) So we'll do an unboxing and a little bit of restoration on this one as the hair is completely shot. I'm not really too much into collecting knock-off/bootleg figures like this, but they can be pretty cool sometimes.

MOTU Knock-Offs Galaxy Heroes & Troll Force Unboxing and Review


Hello everyone. So the Masters of the Universe were a very successful toyline back in the day. You can't have a toyline that makes a lot of money without getting a lot of imitators. One of the most extensive of the MOTU knock offs was a line called "Galaxy Warriors." The thing about Galaxy Warriors was that the parts (arms, legs, heads, weapons, etc) were continuously recasted and reused in other knock off lines. So the two toys we're looking at today are knock-offs of Galaxy Warriors, called "Galaxy Heroes" and "Troll Warriors." Hence, they are knock-offs of a knock-off. Dontcha love this stuff? 

Anyway, we're looking at "Triton" from the Galaxy Heroes line, and "The Green Yuk" and "Black Ninja" from the Troll Warriors line. 

Enjoy!
