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

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 RU-vid all the time. This channel is by far the best in the “RU-vid 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.

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 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.

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.

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...?

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.

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.

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 kinda like Sun-Man and Pig Head. They fit right in with MOTU and Sun-Man feels somebody who would've fought alongside King Greyskull

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.
