UPDATE 09/30/2024: More prototype images

We got an update from Formo Toys on their Galaxy Warriors via an email sent to collectors. They are working on their parts molds which are going thru the refinement process as you will be able to see below.

According to Formo Toys:

“On the other side of the galaxy, testing is also underway for the Warriors of the Galaxy molds. Here are some pictures of the first parts straight out of the molds. You may notice the surface is still a bit rough—that’s because polishing is part of the mold refinement process, which is happening now.

Here you will notice multiple heads and especially the bearded Viking head which looks like a new mold for a character we have not seen yet!

Magnon Prototype

Magnon is a helmeted warrior and will come with a sword, shield, and a bunch of removable armor that include his chest, belt, and shin guards.

Here is an up close look at the figure is looking great! The helmet is purple and light blue and his chest armor has some intricate details with a red accent in the middle

Here is Magnon standing next to his vintage figure and you can see that the Warriors of the Galaxy figures stand a little taller and are a more updated sculpt.

Baltard Prototype

Baltard, the Unstoppable Creator of Chaos, will come with a modular axe, shield and removable armor and a removable belt.

Here is an up close shot and you can se his hair is straight up and they gave him really nice frown lines and a sinister look!

Here is Baltard compared to his vintage figure and you can see how they painted in a skull instead of leaving a blank space like in the vintage armor. The Warriors of the Galaxy design is given an actual expression on his face whereas the vintage figure looks more stoic!

Where to Buy

You can preorder the Warriors of the Galaxy NOW at BBTS & Formo Toys.com.

Future Figure Concepts

Phelan Porteous was also allowed to share future concepts of the figures, which you can see below!

Anubi

Anubi is modeled after the ancient Egyptian god Anubis, who was associated with the afterlife and depicted with a jackal head. The Anubi figure in Galaxy Warriors has a similar design, with a humanoid body and the head of a jackal, combining both Egyptian mythological and barbarian aesthetics common to the fantasy toy genre of that era.

Anubi was released as one of 12 Galaxy Warriors action figures by Sungold. He originally came with a brown sculpt, wearing a red lioncloth.

Sun Hawk

Galaxy Fighters are one of the numerous action figure lines inspired by Masters of the Universe that emerged in the 1980s. Produced by Sewco and distributed by Madison and East West across the United States, this toy line closely followed the earlier Galaxy Warriors series, which had been released by Sungold. The two lines share many similarities, with only minor differences in sculpt—most notably, the Galaxy Fighters figures feature a closed left hand. The distribution of Galaxy Fighters extended internationally, particularly in Italy, where companies like Solidco played a key role. This global reach resulted in three distinct packaging styles, with variations in text and color depending on the distributor. Due to their likeness to the Galaxy Warriors figures, some Galaxy Fighters were later given new names, as noted in figure indexes. Here is a concept for Sun Hawk!

Sun Hawk is a character from the Galaxy Fighters toy line, which was a knockoff series inspired by the Masters of the Universe (MOTU) figures in the 1980s. Sun Hawk is one of the heroic characters in the Galaxy Fighters universe. Like many figures from this line, Sun Hawk follows the archetype of a muscular, barbarian-style warrior, designed to appeal to fans of sword-and-sorcery themes.

Supra

Supra is a character from the Galaxy Adventure Girls toy line, which was a spin-off of the Galaxy Warriors and Galaxy Fighters series, aimed at combining elements of fantasy, adventure, and science fiction with female action figures. The Galaxy Adventure Girls were designed to complement the male-dominated lines and tap into the growing interest in female heroes during the 1980s. Supra, like other characters in this line, is portrayed as a strong, heroic figure. She is depicted with warrior-like armor and often comes equipped with weapons or futuristic accessories, blending elements of science fiction and fantasy. Her design reflects the aesthetic of other figures in the Galaxy Warriors universe but with a focus on powerful female representation. Here is a concept for Supra!

Supra is the strongest of all good warriors. Supra possesses super strength which enables her to overcome many obstacles.

The Evil

The Evil has a distinct and menacing appearance and here is a concept for the figure!

The Evil is a character from the Galaxy Warriors Combo toy line, a variant line of the Galaxy Warriors series that featured rebranded or reimagined figures with additional accessories or slight modifications. The Evil, as the name suggests, is one of the villainous characters in the toy line.

Unnamed Galaxy Warrior End of Time The Last Battle Character

Formo will have to give this guy a name as all of the Galaxy Warrior End of Time The Last Battle characters did not have but here is a cool concept!

This concept could be modeled after this art.

These new figures are a stunning homage to the vintage Sungold Galaxy Warrior characters Magnon and Baltard.

History of Galaxy Warriors

Warriors of the Galaxy or the Galaxy Warriors as the are also referred to was released in 1983 by Sungold as a response to the ultra successful Masters of the Universe line. Some people called them bootlegs, some people call them knock offs, but what they are now is a vintage toy cult classic and fetch high prices on the after market!

According to Galaxy Warriors Wikia | Fandom:

In 1983, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe were the new big thing. To ride the coattails of it’s success, little-known toy company Sungold released the Galaxy Warriors, an infamous line of toys that surprisingly was ripped-off and bootlegged more than Masters of the Universe itself.

The package art for Galaxy Warriors is modified from paintings by Frank Frazetta, the image from the logo being from Against The Gods with the sword replaced by an axe, while the prominent warrior on the front is from Warrior With Ball And Chain, with the flail replaced by an axe and the helmet redesigned to resemble Magnon’s.
