Remember the Power Mans TV show?  What's with these Asian knock-offs always shoehorning in Spider-Man? Is he super-popular in China for some reason? You know, I wouldn't be against Power Mans if it weren't for the fact that it's the same damn figure 5 times. I mean, even for bootleg toys, that's lazy. Hey now, you need spares for when the cheap plastic inevitably shatters to pieces. |

I'm bringing this thread back in the hope that someone can help me with something. Well, not just me, actually. You see, I was watching some old Ashens videos and remembered he mentioned bootleg Tekken action figures he had before he was making videos but has since gotten rid of. He says the packaging called them something like "Dragon Fighters", they had a yellow packaging and there was a Yoshimitsu figure who inexpicably had a stick with a skull on it instead of his katana and King had a silver rifle. And apparently, they were widely sold in Poundland back in the days. Does anyone know what he may be talking about and possibly have pictures of it? Also, just to actually contribute something new to the thread, I give you this beauty:  |

Series that had a very very very different origin story from American Spider-Man |

Series that had a very very very different origin story from American Spider-Man That was a big hit, and informed a lot of the development of Power Rangers-type shows, but I think his design also probably helped. I think that fits a lot of aesthetics there for heroes more than Batman and Superman and the like. |

I wouldn't trust Sin Cara with a chainsaw.
