SUMMARY:
While the first Faker releases in 1982 were made in Taiwan, for their 1985 "He's Back" reissue the Faker production moved to Malaysia. Here it changed from the Taiwan standard that had soft heads in blue, with painted red hair, to now hard heads molded in red with faces painted blue. These new Fakers came both in small (standard he-man sized) boots and also large (thunderpunch he-man sized) boots. They also had various ways the Malaysia stamp was done in the back.
