9:16. Quite the contrary, in fact. Here, in India, a collectors lobby of non-fans found out these were fetching a decent amount of cash overseas, so in 2002/03, these few dudes went all over, hoarded these up for a few years and sold them. The only Leo Toys you'll find in India being traded around are broken and without armor. I can assure you that there's no mint condition ones, except with those select few people I mentioned earlier.
In India these figures were a smash hit. I remember my dad bought me a He-man toy which had 'made in Malaysia' on the pack. A year later, he bought me another He-man which had 'made in India' on the pack. The Indian version had a lighter skin tone and its head was made of the same material as the rest of its body while the Malaysian version had a head made of hard rubber and had tanned skin.
Hi, I am from India and I remeber playing and collecting most of them from around 1986 to 1994...They were a real craze here among children of my age... fuelled mostly by the animation show which played here around that time. It is really a part of nostalgia for our generation in India and thank you again for reminding me of those good old times with this video.
@@rockasteria wow its just how people flip out for motu especially anything remotely rare or from somewhere else a design mis print on a card back can make it worth 1000s
Hi, Dan. I'm from India. Thanks for covering this, really great job! I remember playing with these toys in the early 90s. I had all of these models you mentioned, even Cringer, Panther and Man at arms. I'm sure there were more which I'm forgetting. I donated them to my younger cousin eventually, had I known they would become so valuable over time I would have held on to them lol. I was going through various videos of American version of these toys and I always thought there's something different about these toys but always attributed that to my childhood memory being fuzzy. Coming across your video confirmed that my memories were correct and I had no idea that Indian version of these toys were different. Damn, I wish I had held on to them, could have been rich lol.
Fan: Leo Toys how did you determine when and what HE-MAN Figures would get paint variants? Leo Toys: When the expensive paint runs out and the Filler Paint begins.
I didn't know about the overseas He-man, figures. Faker is totally awesome. That was nice to see, I'd love to be able to collect just one of each figures made in the toy line. Wow.!
Great episode! Keep up the great work. I hope you cover more of these MOTU variants, and other toy lines in the future. You do a fantastic job; I envy you. :)
I heard Faker was created by accident, a bunch of He Mans fell into the blue dye used for Skeletor, but I haven't found anything online to confirm that. He was the hardest character to find, I spent the better part of 2.5 years searching, then they released the 2nd edition.
IIam from India. I had all of them in 1990's ...sadly they were lost..or stolen maybe & i was nervous & broke. i don't remember as i was 6 or 7yrs of age. Today I still try to find these action figures in India. But iam unlucky to get even a single & also i had got a chance to buy a used HeMan figures complete set...but they were out of my state & were been sold at a huge price which again sadly i can't afford. Anyways i will still not loose hope. I will wait.😪
You know....if you watch the subtitled version as you scroll through the videos....RU-vid messed up your show name....it called you Toys Blow Ian. Lol.
@@chrisj2991 I actually had the extendar as a kid and I'm from India. Damn I wish I held on to them. Had all the ones Dan covered and had Cringer, Panther, Man at arms and more in addition to them.
@@chrisj2991 no no no... there was a Mattel factory in a city called Nasik. You can search this history which you dint know.. these were fully made in india..
ok ok......you got me, until this hero pops up........this looks so deep fake. btw i was born 81´s and He-Man was my favorite toy a long long long time
