Arco industries made several blister carded "Fantasy Action Sets" based on the 1982 movie The Sword and the Sorcerer. These sets were distributed by a company called Fleetwood. The cards also list a company called BLC Services, Inc., which is probably the copyright for the movie. The cards are dated 1983 and 1984. The figures are unmarked. There are 2 60mm barbarians, 2 60mm monsters and 2 smaller mounted figures. There are also 5 larger rubber monsters and a mini castle front. The 60mm figures have interchangeable glow in the dark weapons. The mounted barbarian warrior has the three bladed sword from the movie.

| These are rare unpainted versions of the monsters. |

| These are very rare bootleg barbarians. I have no idea who made these. I got them in an ebay lot from Canada. |

| When you put them side by side, the original guy looks suspicious and the bootleg looks sad. |
 |
| The painted dragons are bootlegs or some later production. |

| These are from Fleetwood's Manimal line, which came out at the same time. They mix in well. |

| This came out around 2011. I like the yellow version of the dragon. |
