Ever since I discovered this series, I've been making Baltard in every video game that I can: WoW, Dark Souls, FFXIV, Skyrim, Fallout 4, Fable 2 (kinda).
Dark Souls Baltard. That’s awesome. I reckon he fits right in, having a little of that sort of aesthetic to him. I recently told another commenter that I should name a Baltoy after Baltard in Pokémon sometime, if only for the similar name. (Then I can have a Baltard and a Tartard-the latter of which is Poliwrath’s French name. No idea what it means, but it’s fucking hilarious to read.)
Also it just dawned on me that having Baltard in Dark Souls means he can fight a bunch of Sahaks (the man-serpent assholes, especially the ones with the gigantic, single-edged greatswords bearing their species name). Neat!
I still am a firm believer that out there somewhere in the world, there exists a dropped Pilot Episode of Galaxy Warriors. And I'm sure it aired on some random Public Access television station at like... 2am.
Owned Dragoon, the Wolfguy and Tigerman back in the day and really loved them. Played with them alongside Motu and they were just as good or better than most of them.
I like to imagine these figures are from an alternate dimension where they WERE based on their own show. The square harnesses and sun harnesses WERE the two sides (maybe not even good guys and bad guys, just warring factions) and the version 2 changes reflect the changing alliances of the characters over the course of the show's run Or more realistically, maybe somebody at Sungold was hoping the line would be popular enough to get it's own MotU knockoff animated series, and was writing a story to go with the figures AS they were being made. If so, how sad would that be to have invested SO much time and energy into something as pointless as the Galaxy Hole... no offense :p
I’m a huge fan of Baltard. I love all his appearances on your channel. It’s amazing to watch the very first episode with the Galaxy Warriors and Baltard and Tiger Man and Sahak and so many other whacky characters. This truly is a very special piece of Phaylous toy review history! So many wonderful jokes and memes all came from this amazing series! You always do a fantastic job with your Bootleg zones reports sir! Keep up the great work! Also, Baltard!
Maybe, but the origin of the name Ygg is another name for Odin meaning horrific. The reason why the three is called Yggdrasil is because Odin/Ygg hanged himself in the three as a sacrifice to himself to find the runes.
14:11 Yes Phelous! Absolutely yes! I confirm that this is the best thing you have ever done! After all those years, I'm still laughing my ass off about it! XD
I’ve been watching the Galaxy Hole videos for a day or so, and every time I do I have a glass of iced tea with me. Now I associate iced tea with the Galaxy Warriors, which is both a blessing and a curse
RE: good guys and bad guys ...Perhaps they're all from different warring factions, each with its own rationale for why they're the "good guys" and everybody else is the "bad guys?" * ducks *
Yes, this is where the Galaxy Hole began. Galaxy Hole is truly the perfect source for an iceberg meme. Why there isn't any Galaxy Hole iceberg meme already? Also, Baltard!
I like how, even in the early "He-Man" there was some confusion about which side Zodiac was one. Sometimes he was listed as being a good guy, sometimes and bad guy and even other times he was described as being some cosmic power that wasn't on either side (despite having the inhuman feet that the bad guys had).
Ah, Bootleg Zones' first venture into the Galaxy Hole! Heck, by this point the Galaxy Hole is just as much a staple of Bootleg Zones as TMNT bootlegs are!
I didn't know I could get so invested in a knock off toy line. I want to live in a universe where there was Galaxy Warriors TV show and other merch, basically spinning off more Frazetta work and other fantasy concepts. Thank you for making Baltard and Friends famous
Between the time when Kenner Drank Star Wars, and the rise of TMNT, there was an age undreamed of. And unto this, Baltard, destined to wear his dumb topknot upon a goofy confused brow. It is I, his chronicler, who alone can tell thee of his saga. Let me tell you of the days of creative and pervasive ripoffs!
Hello Phaylus! really love your bootleg vídeos! im from México city and down here we've got plenty of crazy bootlegs! and the Galaxy Warriors were no exception! i own a magnon and a Dino-man! and also some He-Man bootleg as well, would like to know where i can share you some pics of my bootleg figures, since i got from other series too, thanks in advance, and again, amazing vídeos! and great information! it helped me to understand more about the galaxy Warriors!
Awesome! Glad you enjoy the vids. I actually have some Galaxy Warriors bootlegs that are from Mexico that I'll eventually be covering on the show. Best place to share pics of you figures would probably be over on the facebook page: facebook.com/TheRealPhelous
+Phelan “Phelous” Porteous Thank you so much! sounds great! ill be looking forward for the next vídeos! thanks for answering! ill be posting pictures of my figures soon on your facebook page! thanks!!!
All my D&D characters from now on shall be called Baltard. That is the greatest name ever. Also, Ygg's name is OBVIOUSLY pronounced "eeg", as in "Yggsdrasil" or "Ys".
Thanks sir! This was a lot of fun and made me nostalgic for the kid years. I remember finding the bootlegs interesting but was a Mattel snob back then and refused anything that wasn't authentically MOTU.
I love HUK, I recently paid more than I should for a later HUK Bootleg ( solid body, non-articulated legs, hard head) Just because the head paint was good and the head was in good condition. It came with the 'wrong' harnes, the sun one instead of the square one, no shield and a cocktail sword soemoine had painted up like an official accessory. I'm planning on buying one of super 7's new vintage style He-Man figures to swap the head over.
I'm surprised I actually want some Galaxy Warriors, Galaxy Fighters, and to a lesser extent Galaxy Heroes. This is the very first time I actually wanted some bootleg toys. Where can I get these and the otner ones for a decent price?
Esperemos que algún día Mattel, Super 7, Funko u otra compañía se dignen en sacar esta bella colección de los Galaxy Warriors al mercado del mundial, sería fabuloso y hacerle honor a unas figuras que en sus tiempos fueron tratados como los falsos MOTU, pero que en realidad representaban más ese barbarismo que los verdaderos MOTU. Mattel en sus inicios sacó excelentes figuras que representaban el barbarismo y la fantasía, lo que conocemos como la espada y brujería o la hacha y hechicería, pero con el paso de tiempo fue sacando figuras que se alejaban de esta realidad, figuras sin sentido, en cambio las líneas o copias siguientes a los Galaxy Warriors mantuvieron ese barbarismo y fantasía durante toda la década de los 80’s. Yo espero que una compañía fuerte en juguetes llegue hacerle el honor a estas figuras. Saludos y excelente video.
I found a Dino-man today that has the sungold/honk kong on the leg and the round chest harness but the belt and gauntlets are brown and the head is a flesh tone but darker than the version 2. He is in great shape but has no weapons. I found him in one of those toy grab bags at a thrift store for $1.25.
I'm not surprised there are inconsistencies in the paint, I work in a factory and it's not uncommon for us to run out of a specific kind of paint or something due to lack of foresight from someone else. In those instances we often reference the actual blueprints for the thing we are making and check to see what allowances can be made based on that. Sometimes we can substitute a paint or color, sometimes we cannot. I'm not an engineer, I don't pretend to know why some kinds of paints are allowed and others are not. There are other instances in which a product we use in the production of our products may change brands or types, sometimes simply because someone found a cheaper alternative to what we are currently using. Often times these changes will be made during new financial quarters in an attempt to look better to superiors, saying "Look I saved the company money." This doesn't always work out. I remember when the brand of machine coolant we used was changed to save something like $0.10USD per gallon of coolant. Without actually testing it, they just replaced all the coolant with the new brand. We started to have catastrophic machine failures, I don't know the specific details, but it was due to a chemical difference in the new coolant. The people responsible for the change dug their heels in for awhile, implying it was operator error, but they were eventually forced to change back to the old brand. I know working at Walmart, they used to have a recall board by the customer service desk and a lot of times, it was due to a change in paint. Chinese factories are contracted to manufacture products with specific specifications in design and paint, but underbid contracts in order to win. They just replace specific paint with something cheaper and ship it out. Often times lead based. I digress; these toys were made in factories. Perhaps the decision to change the paint(s) was simply a financial one or it may have been a quality reason.
Back in the day, I remember KB Toys had a whole endcap feature of these figures. They quickly ended up in their markdown bargain bins. I did like Spikes & Sahack but I never picked them up regrettably.
I'd love to see more of the wrestler knock-offs. Some of them are more interesting than the real wrestling action figures 😆 instead having swords and shields they could come with folding chairs and kendo sticks.
Man , I can see why you like these figures so much. A combination of frrozetta , he-man, and a little of their own ideas masses for some awesome figures . I love your show and am one of you're biggest fans. At some point I have a disc I want to send you containing not one, not two, not three, not 4 but five golden films movies all of which you haven't reviewed. I'm not sure how to send them though
Phelan, do you have a method for fixing the wobbly legs of Galaxy figures? I know there are now replacement rubber bands (He-Bands) that make it fairly easy to repair Masters of the Universe figures, but I imagine these would be too large for Galaxy figures, which seem to use more of an actual rubber band than hard rubber to connect the legs. Thanks!
I mentioned this elsewhere, but Baltard makes me think of Panthro, if you cover the topknot of hair. But Baltard existed 1st. Is Baltard an original character? I haven't seen a Frazetta piece that features a Baltard-like character.
I wish very much that galaxy warriors would get a MOTU-style revival.... that's the ticket!!! BUT.... do it right and include Monster, Turtle warriors, TURLY GANG, and the ever Ubitiquous Satyr Masters ... FROM ABYSS!!!! Take my god damn money!
The things you find out if you dig hard enough. Magnon's distinctive bird-helm is also taken from Frazetta art... but oddly enough not from a lavish painting... rather from ink art interior illustrations from a release of Edgar Rice Burroughs' A Fighting Man Of Mars, a John Carter science fantasy novel. geekynerfherder.blogspot.ca/2012/02/art-of-barsoom-frank-frazetta.html I mean the design has been heavily simplified to accomodate a toy mold but all the details are there. The crest, the bird head, the pointy back piece, even the little line on the side of his helmet are there, just far more prominent.
galazy warriors are actually better designed than the majority of the masters of the universe toys. i can see why they have so many bootlegs of their own.
13:06 plasticiser breakdown? I know it reacts differently with certain pigments too, and if Tigerman is the only orange one as well as the only sticky one...
Thank you for your reviews of the Motu bootlegs, they are hilarious. Before your review Baltard was simply an idiot...now he is an icon! Everybody should have at least one Baltard at home!
I wonder if Rahh and Deevil were designed first, then Sungold got a little skidish and then them altered to make Magnon and Thor, saving the original run for foreign release.
Phelan, I am curious which version or series in the Galaxy Warriors "black hole" you would recommend. I know that question might just drive you crazy, but if you can answer it, please do.
I had one of these, one of the bigger packs. I had Triton, with the sword and the eagle shield, riding the Mammoth. Surprised you didn’t mention the Mammoth, or the other animals
Awesome stuff. I'm currently collecting a lot of modern bootleg/ knock off figures. But they don't have the same nostalgia value the Galaxy Warriors etc have.

Dark Souls Baltard. That’s awesome. I reckon he fits right in, having a little of that sort of aesthetic to him. I recently told another commenter that I should name a Baltoy after Baltard in Pokémon sometime, if only for the similar name. (Then I can have a Baltard and a Tartard-the latter of which is Poliwrath’s French name. No idea what it means, but it’s fucking hilarious to read.)
Also it just dawned on me that having Baltard in Dark Souls means he can fight a bunch of Sahaks (the man-serpent assholes, especially the ones with the gigantic, single-edged greatswords bearing their species name). Neat!
Me too 😂
I still am a firm believer that out there somewhere in the world, there exists a dropped Pilot Episode of Galaxy Warriors.
And I'm sure it aired on some random Public Access television station at like... 2am.
I'd pay so much to have it

Captured on VHS, possibly the same tape that contains the pilot of Limozeen but they're in space.

Owned Dragoon, the Wolfguy and Tigerman back in the day and really loved them. Played with them alongside Motu and they were just as good or better than most of them.
I wanna see Baltard trying to talk to Spikes and Spikes just staring at him menacingly and saying nothing
I like to imagine these figures are from an alternate dimension where they WERE based on their own show.

I didn't get that "collect the whole range" joke... Maybe I am just dumb, but I really need an explanation.
Range = stovetop
Noel Goetowski oh
(I didn't get it either, thanks for explaining)
Does anybody know what the song at 3:28 is? It's awesome and I want it on my iPod.
So, this was the nutso one that started it all. Sorta
6 Years later it's nice to look at 0:44 and see how much he's done since.
Were Galaxy Warriors truly bootlegged or did they just sell the plastic injection moulds to different companies who then made their own version.
i fucking love baltard
Phelan, I am curious which version or series in the Galaxy Warriors "black hole" you would recommend. I know that question might just drive you crazy, but if you can answer it, please do.
Give Baltard another 2 arms and that's Goro from Mortal Kombat.
I had one of these, one of the bigger packs. I had Triton, with the sword and the eagle shield, riding the Mammoth. Surprised you didn’t mention the Mammoth, or the other animals
I did a video about the beasts as well:

Awesome stuff. I'm currently collecting a lot of modern bootleg/ knock off figures. But they don't have the same nostalgia value the Galaxy Warriors etc have.
Take a shot every time Phelous says "Plastic" in this video.
