Was Cosmix and/or Exogini Kinnikuman sculpts licensed from Bandai (or Mattel for that matter), or where they done "in their back"?
Just curious about it

No, they were bootlegs. Yudetamago and Bandai received zero royalties.
That make them even cooler then
I'm still a bit surprised; they look like quite a big line (Exogini particularly Exogini) to pass under a toy giant nose. A foreign one, but a giant nevertless...

Yude isn't exactly a soul crushing corporation. They deserve to be compensated. I like Exogini, but Yude and Bandai got screwed.

Indeed, indeed! I just mean't that that make them, somehow, dirty little bootlegger toys with a trashy glow.
But cutting off royalties from Panosh, Bandai, Mattel, Kinnikuman guys or any other creator involved is indeed bad.
Knock-off can have this guilty fun but still be legit, like Thundarr, He-Man and The Beasmaster toward Conan or Weird Ball Wrestler in regards to M.U.S.C.L.E (to stay in the LRG realm). Straight bootleg is indeed bad and reprehensible.
