El Greco was a Greek company that held the license to manufacture and market Transformers toys in Greece during Generation 1.
They released a handful of toys from the original toyline, some of which bear a few differences in tooling and colors. These featured the original Greek names for the characters on the packaging, rather than the ones used by their US counterparts. In the early 90s they also re-released a handful of Generation 1 toys as pack-in gifts with Easter candles - a surprisingly common thing for toy manufacturers in the European market at the time!
