SUMMARY

The France Fisto can be identified by its soft boots with integrated leg bands, giant biceps, light silver fist, and dark, tan body. The figure is marked © Mattel. Inc. 1983 with an erased COO. The dark, silver armor is also marked  © Mattel. Inc. 1983.

7 figures were released in France with the “integrated” leg band mechanism. The leg band matches the color of the boot, in the case of Fisto, purple. The boot is a softer material, different than the leg itself. Some of these 7 figures had both soft boot and regular boot variants (such as Jitsu or He-Man). Others, such as Fisto, only had a soft boot variant.

 The France fisto comes with 2 different sword variants. The first is a standard, fairly rigid broadsword marked FRANCE; the second and much rarer variant is the Purple Katana (Jitsu mold). The Katana has no COO and just has numbers.
