The Undiscovered Playthings

Here’s a blast from the past! One of the first toys I ever posted on this site way back in the mid 1990s. I actually didn’t ‘review’ the thing. I just slapped a pic of it with a couple of comments. You can find the original pic HERE.
I actually figured this thing was lost to [...]

Here’s another one of my Mexican bootleg figures. I have to tell you, when the toy makers in Mexico decide to make a figure, they either miss the mark completely or come up with something that isn’t too bad.
This one falls into the category of isn’t too bad.

Now this Captain America might already have been [...]

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? [...]

I don’t see many bootleg toys where you actually get a cloth jacket of some sort. But the bootleg toy makers kind of went out of their way to (almost) make an impressive bootleg toy that even comes with a cloth jacket (yeah, they cheated a bit on the jacket too. You’ll see.)

Look at this! [...]

This sucker’s got to be at least fifteen years old! I picked this up way back in the early half of the 1990s. Yes friends, I reached deep past the cobwebs of my bootleg toy closet in order to share this toy with you.
Behold! Batman on a (skate?) board….

Batman’s got a gun and he looks [...]

Masks! I love masks! Really! I don’t know why, I just do. But I love it even more when bootleg toys come with masks. What can beat a Spider-Man mask? How about tossing in a Spider-Man action figure with the mask?
That’s right folks! Take a look!

Awesome ain’t it? Yeah, let’s ignore the 3 coming before [...]

I literally blew the dust off of this bootleg toy in order to post it up on this site.
Among the Superhero genre, Batman, Superman and Spider-Man have to be the most bootlegged of all the super hero characters. This following bootleg toy is one of the better packaged ones I’ve come across.
It’s a boxed set [...]

Well, this isn’t a bootleg toy to be sure. But I’d call this sucker a definite knock off. What do you get when you cross Spider-Man with a toy bow and arrow? You get SUPER BOW AND ARROWS GAME!
Come, take a peek.

I actually remember when I bought this thing. I was hunting around in a [...]

I debated long and hard about buying this bootleg toy. I remember because the shopkeeper was asking for eight bucks for it and he wouldn’t budge on the price.
But one day I came in and his wife(?) was behind the counter. So I manged to snag this thing for six bucks!
Hah! Take that old man!
Excuse [...]

Here is the second four pack of figures in the bootleg toy set SUPERMAN. The packaging is similar to the first one. But we get the joy of a couple of new figures. And yes folks, as you can see by the way the figures are packaged with the accessories, quality is built right in [...]
