ARCO/FLEETWOOD: The Sword & The Socerer

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.

The guy on the left's face looks a little off because he has a beard that they didn't bother to paint.

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.

The three on the left are original, the three on the right are bootlegs.

The two headed dragon has a bootleg version.  I have not seen any bootlegs of the other monsters.

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




















The bottom of this Italian card shows Arco and Fleetwood trademarks.




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