i underestimated mattel's design team's dedication to their forbidden arts - imaginext series 11 features not just a pair of 3" unarticulated rubber kinkeshi of muscleman / kinnikuman and buffaloman / terri-bull from M.U.S.C.L.E. (1985), but ALSO x-ray man from fisher price adventure people (1974) AND triple threat snake / snakebomb from battle beasts (1987)!
the faun with removable centaur legs (pan cosplaying as chiron?) is v clearly in the style of their shortlived elves series, and probably is an unused design ala the 'ninja' elf last series who was originaly going to come with thranduil's party elk.
the toxo-skeleton and fish-robot are not direct references that i am aware of, though fish-bot has a very esrthworm jim vibe, and tbh, if the weakest figure in the series is a fish with a robot body, we all win.
