I bought these recently on the net and yes I love 'em.. and at 40$ for the set it was a steal! As you can see G.I. Joe was probably a big inspiration for them at that time.. they were made in '92. But the funniest thing about them is the filecards.. God, you have to read those! I thought I was bad in english ;D
Here's some pics:

What do you think of them? For me it's hilarious but priceless.. ;D
-
I L-O-O-O-O-O-VE THEM! (your boots, your clothes, your power commandos, give them to me...now! ;D)
-
I love them and the File Cards too... Did they have a TV show or a Comic?
-
BTW I don't have any favorites. These figures kinda all rock and suck at the same time, which is the awkward winning formula for a knockoff toyline - Woohoo!

I don't think so.. but I know that there's a second wave of figures! I'm hunting them since last year but I don't want to spend too much $ on them..
-
I like how X-Ray Eye swings a kick behind Submarine's back! It makes the two-pack artwork even more dramatic than any of Hasbro's offering, IMO.
-
All I can find on ebay is a loose X-Ray Eye for $20...
-
Never heard of these guys. Crazy to see them with birthplaces of other planets.
-
the crazy part is the guy born on a sun!
-
Those guys are actually worth a fortune - particularly in that condition. You really scored finding them mint on card at those prices.
That is the find of a collection...
- R
-
I love it. Can we see the full back of one of the cards? It looks like there is a picture of the figures in action.
-
For those of you interested in a set.. I just found them on eBay for 70$US (6 figures). There's 8 sets available in Mexico!!! They're not under the name Power Commandos so..

Well, my favorite is Condor Strike.. man, he goes on the battlefield with a baseball bat.. hehe!
''With the help of his Laser Rod wich can paralyze his enemies during close combat, Condor Strike is a sure winner''
priceless

Everybody knows that X-Ray Eye is really Cobra Commander in disgeise!
-
the crazy part is the guy born on a sun!
:lol: ;D

If you look closely you'll see a lot of similarities between these figures and some Hasbro figs from the 80's..
Red Raven and Submarine torsos--------- '86 Viper
Mummy mask and X-ray Eye torsos--------- '85 Tele-Viper
Metal Hawk and Submarine lower and upper arms----------- '86 Viper and Zartan
Condor Strike and Red Raven crotch pieces.. they remind me of a certain figure but I don't remember wich one?? (I got it!: Cobra Eel) ;D
Btw here's some cardback pics:

Those Guys From the Other Galaxy has to be one of the best taglines of all time. Thanks for sharing this with us.
