Insect Man Logo

Insect Man is a bootleg of the Saban property: "Masked Rider"...itself an attempt to cash in on the Beetle-Borg / Power-Ranger craze.

Package Design

As shown in the photo above, the packaging style, logos, and figure itself are almost exactly duplicated. Point of fact, there are NO differences that I could find between the two figures! Same scale, same excelent paint detailing, same articulation.

Overall, an excelnt bootleg, but not all that popular of a line in the US.
