Fisto, the "heroic hand-to-hand fighter" was produced in Hong Kong, Malaysia, Argentina, France, India, Mexico (Aurimat), and Spain. With his giant, spring-loaded fist, he smashes evil! This figure comes with removable armor, broadsword, and has twisting punch action.
The Leo India Fisto can be identified by its soft head with bright red hair, dark blue belt, boots and armor tones, brushed metal armor, smooth brown (or red) shorts, and mid-fur boot paint.
