I bought this out of the $3 bin at Adventure Con this month. It appears to have a Footloose torso, Tunnel Rat waist, with modified Gung Ho legs.

Anyone seen anything like this before?

looks like the ball joint neck has been tweaked as well, correct?

no markings on it? remco quality plastic?

I have a very similar one. It has a foot loose torso that has been changed to a side to side neck joint. I have no information about it however. Sorry.

Wow...both of those figures are really cool. I love that kinda stuff. I would buy up every one a came across if I was lucky enough to find any.

That's the first I've ever seen of this particular brand of knock-off. The swivel-necked Footloose torso is really strange...it seems like an awful lot of effort to go through for a knock-off company. Does anybody know if Hasbro got to the tooling stage on the 1985 figures before they decided to switch to the ball-jointed neck? If so, these could be based on a pre-ball-jointed Footloose test-shot or something.

I narrowly missed getting some of these on two occasions at local toy shows. So I don't have any, but I know I have seen them in the US before. I wouldn't be surprised if they were released in the US, but for as many items that have traded hands internationally at this point, there is a good chance that is actually where it is from.

They are certainly one of the cooler knock-offs out there, imo.

Awesomeness. Thanks for the link.

I think I've seen these pop up in Easter Baskets before... never bought them, tho.. so I'm not 100% sure.

That'd be sweet if they did. All I ever see in Easter baskets are: Aerialbot knock-offs, Funskool Pepsodent knock-offs, and Chap Mei knock-offs.
