Vintage 1982 Lost World of the Warlord Price Guide | Remco Action Figure Values

Before the Warriors and the Pirates, there was the Lost World of the Warlord. Released in 1982, this line brought Mike Grell’s iconic DC Comics characters to life using the muscular “power-action” body that would define Remco’s decade. From the surface-worlder Morgan to the villainous Deimos, these figures are essential for any collector charting the history of the 5.5-inch action figure era.

How to Use This Market Index

  • The “Grell” Aesthetic: These figures feature distinct head sculpts designed to match the comic art. In 2026, figures with unscuffed facial paint (specifically Morgan’s goatee or Deimos’s mask) are the primary value drivers.

  • Accessory Watch: Many figures came with “generic” Remco swords, but their helmets and shields are unique. A figure missing its helmet can lose up to 30% of its market value.

  • Fabric Quality: Like the other lines, the nylon/polyester capes are prone to fraying. A “Mint/Complete” designation requires a cape with no pulls or staining.

Our Evaluation Criteria Include:

  • Joint Tension: We prioritize the “Remco snap.” Figures with “swinging” waists or loose knees are categorized as “Play-Wear” grade.

  • Chrome-Look Paint: While not true vacuum-metalized chrome, the silver paint on Morgan’s helmet and Deimos’s gear is evaluated for “rub-off” wear.

  • Packaging Integrity: Cardbacks for this line are notorious for “bubble lifting.” A factory-sealed piece with a secure bubble is a significant “Grail” find.
