Warriors of the Galaxy Wave 2 by Formo Toys In Hand Review

Bringing back a renaissance of the knock off 5.5″ figure, the team at Formo Toys is expanding the universe of Legends of Dragonore with their related line of Warriors of the Galaxy! Beautiful homages of the 1980’s Sungold originals, this new line of 5.5″ figures is an exciting addition to the Formo Toys line of action figures. Ugg and Spikes from the Warriors of the Galaxy Wave 2 of Legends of Dragonore have been high on my radar ever since Formo Toys first teased this expansion, and now that they’re here on my desk, I can say the wait was absolutely worth it. Legends of Dragonore has been doing something really special for collectors who grew up loving those classic 5.5 inch action figure lines. There’s a reverence for that vintage feel baked into every release, from the blister card packaging to the pop-apart modular joints that let you mix and match parts across the entire line. It’s the kind of thing that makes your inner kid light up the second you crack open a new wave. Spikes in particular has such an incredible presence. Described as a dark spirit of the Galaxy Hole, he’s a mysterious general leading the Forces of Chaos on Planet Ferror, and that lore really comes through in the design. He comes loaded with a sword, shield, removable armor, removable belt, and a removable cape, giving you plenty of display options. And then there’s Ugg, who rounds out this pair perfectly with his own savage charm. Together they add so much personality to the growing roster of Ferror’s warriors. What I love about this line is that with six points of articulation and up to ten modular joints that are fully compatible with similar vintage modular figures, the play and display possibilities just keep growing with every new release. The plastic feels solid in hand, and the sculpts across both figures have that perfect balance of retro styling and fresh detail. So let’s take a look at our Ugg and Spikes in hand review!

Spikes and Ygg make a great pair side by side, and you can really appreciate how different their color palettes are, with Spikes’ black and green contrasting sharply against Ygg’s deep red-brown skin and crimson skirt. Each figure has their faction shield, and I love how those shields are a throwback to their vintage original! The panther crest on Ygg’s and the eagle heraldry on Spikes’ adding a layer of world-building you don’t always get at this scale.

Spikes Packaging

The packaging really nails that retro blister card format, with a clear plastic bubble cradling Spikes and his accessories snugly against the illustrated backer. You can see how the figure’s dark brown body, green helmet, and purple accents create a color combination that feels distinctly alien and villain-coded, even while still sealed on the card.

Here’s a closer look at the back of Spikes’ card, which features a detailed bio section framed by a stone tablet border, complete with a circular inset illustration of his spiked helmet in black and white. The lower half showcases the full “Collect Them All” lineup, with black-and-white illustrations of Magnon, Baltard, Huk, Ygg, and Spikes himself, all rendered in a style that feels like it was pulled straight from a vintage toy catalog.

Spikes Figure Details

Spikes comes equipped with a solid spread of extras, including a silver sword, a green fabric cape, a faction shield sticker, and a mini comic. I like how they handled the accessories here, each one bagged separately, which is a nice touch for anyone who wants to keep things organized or preserve parts for customizing.

Armed with a silver sword and that bold faction eagle shield, Spikes cuts a striking figure with his green Spartan-style helmet, complete with a sculpted crest on top and a narrow T-shaped visor that gives his face an impenetrable look. The removable chest armor features a green face motif over silver plating, and the purple belt and green skirt break up the dark body with just enough color to keep things interesting.

You can see how the green fabric cape lifts away from the back, revealing the figure’s black torso and the underside of the removable chest armor where it clips into place. The cape has a nice weight and drape to it, with a slightly textured weave that feels like actual softgoods rather than stiff plastic.

From this side profile, the green fabric cape drapes all the way down to the surface, with a clean hang that follows the figure’s silhouette without bunching up around the shoulders. I noticed that the purple forearms and boots peek out just enough from beneath the cape’s edge to keep that color contrast alive even when most of the figure is covered.

Here’s a closer look at the back of Spikes, and the silver harness system across his torso is really well sculpted, with individual buckle details and raised rivets at each connection point. The green skirt wraps fully around the figure with individually sculpted pleats, and the purple belt sits cleanly above it with a small rectangular clasp holding everything together.

From the rear, Spikes’ helmet crest really steals the show, with that dense, textured ridge running from front to back in a deep green that matches the cape perfectly. The cape itself completely envelops the figure from the neck down, and its soft fabric drape gives him a real sense of weight and silhouette that you don’t often get with figures at the 5.5-inch scale.

From this profile view, Spikes’ silver sword has a nice tapered blade with a crossguard that flares out at each end, and the faction shield shows off its squared-off shape with a clean geometric border framing the eagle crest. I like the way the green helmet, cape, and skirt all share that same rich green, tying the whole figure together even when you’re looking at him from the side with his full loadout.

Spikes’ faction shield is a real showpiece up close, with a bold eagle crest split across yellow, red, and black fields, all framed by a thick silver border that gives it a proper heraldic weight. The purple gauntlets and boots add a pop of color against the dark body that I think works even better in hand than it does on the card art.

Here’s a closer look at the full cross-sell insert that comes tucked inside the packaging, and it’s a treat for anyone building out this line. The center spread features full-color photos of the entire roster, including warriors like Magnon, Baltard, Huk, and Ygg alongside creatures like Ignytor, Scorchwing, and Pyrant, while the left panel lays out Spikes’ modular parts list with line art showing every swappable piece from helmet to boots.

Here’s a closer look at the fold-out story booklet that comes packed in with Spikes, and I love that they included something like this. It unfolds into four illustrated panels that tell his origin, from a conquering military leader, to his capture and banishment into the Galaxy Hole, through his transformation into the dark being known as Spikes, and finally his emergence alongside a new army of warriors.

Vintage Spikes from Sungold Galaxy Warriors

The Sungold Galaxy Warriors Spikes action figure was part of the Galaxy Warriors line, which features a variety of action figures inspired by sci-fi and fantasy themes.

Ugg Packaging

The card art leans hard into that classic ’80s action figure aesthetic, with a painted rocky alien landscape stretching behind two warriors locked in battle. Ygg’s illustration on the left shows him as a purple-skinned brute swinging an axe, squaring off against a barbarian hero on the right who sports a jeweled chest harness and Roman-style skirt.

Here’s a closer look at the back of Ygg’s card, which tells a great story through its bio text and cross-sell artwork. The bio describes Ygg as a fallen deity from a subterranean realm, once worshipped by followers beneath fiery skies, now reduced to an enforcer on the forsaken planet of Ferror after being pulled through something called the Galaxy Hole. The cross-sell section shows off the full wave in clean black-and-white line art, featuring Magnon, Baltard, Huk, Spikes, and Ygg himself, each illustrated with their respective weapons and gear. I like how the packaging design leans into that hand-drawn, almost storybook quality with its stone-framed borders and crossed axes flanking the text, really committing to that sword-and-sorcery aesthetic throughout.

Ugg Figure Details

Ygg comes with a solid spread of accessories laid out alongside him here, including a silver modular axe, an orange shield with a snarling black panther emblem, and a bagged mini comic titled “Warriors of the Galaxy.” His reddish-brown skin pairs with burgandy accents on the horns, wrist gauntlets, belt, and boots, while the silver chest armor features a skull-like insignia and riveted straps that sit flush against his torso.

You can see how the back of Ygg reveals a clean, uninterrupted expanse of that reddish-brown skin tone, with the silver chest armor’s straps wrapping around and connecting at the spine in a simple but effective cross pattern. His burgandy boots have a nice chunky sculpt with rolled cuffs at the top, and the red pleated skirt has a layered texture that holds up well from every angle.

From this side view, the modular axe really shows off its heft, with a double-sided silver blade that tapers to a sharp spike at the top and sits on a long cylindrical handle. I like how the burgundy wrist gauntlet has a segmented, almost ribbed texture that contrasts nicely against the smooth reddish-brown skin of his forearm.

Here’s a closer look at the back of the figure, and you can see how the silver chest armor straps create a clean X-pattern where they meet between the shoulder blades, secured by a central rivet. The red pleated skirt fans out naturally from the burgundy belt, and its individual strips maintain their separation all the way around the back.

From this profile view, the silver shield has a tall, angular design with notched edges at the top and a raised central ridge running its full length, giving it a distinctly brutish, medieval feel. Ygg’s head sculpt is full of character from this angle, with those sharp, jagged teeth lining an open snarl and a deeply textured, almost reptilian skin covering the snout and brow ridge beneath those sweeping purple horns.

Outfitted with his full gear loadout, Ygg looks absolutely fierce here, and the shield is the real showpiece, with that snarling black panther emblem popping against the orange field in bold, flat graphic color that feels pulled straight from the mini comic’s art style. I’m really digging how the silver chest armor’s panther-skull insignia mirrors the shield’s motif in miniature, tying his whole warrior kit together thematically.

Armed with his full kit, Ygg looks like he’s about to charge straight out of the pages of that included mini comic, and it’s easy to imagine this exact moment illustrated in one of those lush painted panels showing his arrival on Ferror. The shield’s bold, graphic panther emblem has that flat, storybook color sensibility that ties the figure directly back to the comic’s art style, making him feel less like a standalone toy and more like a character ripped from a specific narrative moment.

Here’s a look at the included mini catalog unfolded, and the left panel is what I want to focus on. It lays out Ygg’s full modular parts list in clean line art, showing every swappable piece individually, from the axe and shield to the removable armor, belt, and each pop-apart limb that makes up his ten modular joints.

Here’s a closer look at the full mini catalog spread out, and the artwork across these panels is gorgeous. The right half tells Ygg’s story through richly painted illustrations that progress from his reign as a subterranean deity surrounded by candle-lit worshippers, through his brutal conquest of enemies, to his emergence from the Galaxy Hole onto Ferror’s surface, and finally his alliance with a ragtag band of warriors called Spikes’ Legion, all rendered in a lush, saturated palette that shifts from warm golds and earth tones to deep crimson and moody grays.

Vintage Ygg from Sungold Galaxy Warriors

Ygg was released in 1987 as part of the Galaxy Warriors line from Sungold. He was a molded after some of the creeper warriors in Frank Frazetta paintings! He has an animal like face with a 3 horned head.

The knock off line of Galaxy Warriors were an obscure but cool part of the 1980’s toy history and hold a dear place in our hearts! It’s so cool to see that Formo Toys are bringing them back in an awesome way! You can see his shield with the panther face on it, which I love that Formo Toys are recreating it.
