The Undiscovered Playthings

… and why are bootleg toys being made of this character?
Okay, here’s the scoop, I’ve been seeing some toys featuring some cartoon series called Ben 10. Well, I’m an old guy, but not that old. So I Bing’d it and shazam! I learned all about Ben 10. I can tell you all about it, but [...]

Hey Everybody! Well, I’m alive and kicking. Yeah, it’s been a while. But I haven’t forgot the site. It’s just that given a choice of going out and playing or planting my @$$ in front of the computer, well, I’ll take the outdoors anyday.
So today’s post is all about a character that I will not [...]

So when I saw these things, I wondered to myself, “Self, are the Powerpuff Girls cartoons still being produced?” I honestly didn’t know at the time. But now I do and it’s a resounding no.
Well, anyways, here’s a teeny set of figures that I dug up recently while cleaning up my garage.

I wasn’t kidding when [...]

This is the second figure in the Super Fly Hero series. I think it’s the last of the bunch I have.  I think there may have been four sets, but so far, it looks like I only gathered up two of them.
You can find the first set HERE.
Who have we got in this two pack? [...]

Well, it’s time for something Incredible. I don’t remember where I got this particular bootleg toy set. But clearly, from the packaging, it was not meant for the U.S. market.

That’s Mr. Incredible and Frozone in this two pack. Well, looking at this pic, I’m sure it’s clear to you why I don’t think this was [...]

Here’s a relatively new set of Transforming toys. Whether these are really bootleg Transformers figures or not, I’ll leave it up to you.
Fortunately, these were pretty cheap. So I snagged some extras and (gasp!) actually took them out of the package so you could see them in ‘bot form.
Check it!

Now this is actually a pretty [...]

Well, since the second  Transformers movie is coming out, I thought I’d toss out this little gem of Transformers bootlegs that will make you gawk, howl, shy away from, chuckle at, covet, examine…
I bought these a few years ago in some discount shop in a, well, in a not so well off neighborhood.
There’s a whole [...]

Not even the girls toys can escape the hands of the bootleg toy makers! This two piece set that I have (which is obviously part of a larger set) was picked up so long ago, I forgot I even had them. When I pulled these things out of the box, at first glance, I thought [...]

Well, you’ve seen Mr. Incredible in the Incredible Family bootleg toy line. Here are a couple more members of the Incredible family. While the packaging is similar, there are some small differences between the two bootleg toy packages.

This set features two of the Incredible children. Dash and Violet. If I have to point out who’s [...]

Well, if it’s got the word INCREDIBLE in it, it can only mean one thing. It’s not! At least, not in the bootleg toy world. But today’s effort by the bootleg toy makers is actually a semi-decent Mr. Incredible figure.
Come take a look…

See what I mean? This isn’t too shabby looking. I mean, if you [...]
