First, I apologize for the irregular English: I do not know the language so clear, so I’m using the google translator.

This line came out many years ago here in Brazil (yes, I am Brazilian), and nowadays you can not find in stores (for a while anyway). These figures were mainly sold in the store network, “Americanas” that was one of the largest in the country (and also selling Secret Wars). Interesting to note that these figures are derived from a collection that enjoyed so much-and especially in a line outside my country!

Great blog. Thanks for taking the time to post it.

Yeah, I was the high bidder on the auction, but still never hit the reserve. Definitely asking too much. If they value these that much, they will be keeping them themselves for a long time. I know all the big buyers spotted them and were done win the auction hit $300. It ended at $393, with me being high bid. I do know of one other vehicle to surface packaged, and have seen two other equally impressive collections, but this was indeed a nice set. It would appear though that they based their pricing off of ebay seller jgallo. Some of his prices are a running joke in the action figure collecting community, not to mention his Future Warriors have been sitting on ebay for years and years. I spotted his figs on ebay at least four years ago. I guess eventually after a few decades the price will fit.

The entire set of these, with pictures, is up for auction on ebay. Way too much much $, but the pics are interesting.

Excellent blog as always.

But I just noticed something.

The figure pictures on the back of the box are different from the figures they released. I haven’t seen many of these but the ones I have seen have slightly different paint jobs.:)

I’ll keep an eye out for them for you, you never know where you’ll run into stuff. Awesome blog, dare I say that I think these can give Secret Wars a run for their money, these came out awesome!
Glad you are focusing so much on the vintage side of collecting, there is so much drama right now with current releases, this really reminds me of how fun this hobby can be and why I collect. These are an awesome find, and you’re doing great so far with them!

Thanks for the great blog Chip. Bootlegs are always fascinating, but considering this one’s history and roots it is quite unique.

Cool stuff, but I think you’re a little off base in saying that most bootleg lines don’t have “storylines”. Lots of them do. Especially in countries like Brazil and Argentina.

I’m not sure this is really a bootleg either. I mean it is, but the true bootleg lines are the ones that are like Spiderman figures, but packaged as Batmans, etc.

Fantastic! Thanks for giving us a glimpse of this crazy line. It really is fun to see the Secret Wars molds reused. Was the line available at retail in Brazil?
