The Undiscovered Playthings

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 I said this was a teeny set of figures. The entire package these things come in measures in at a whopping 7″x5″. I think at first glance, these might look like the real deal. But I can’t imagine the Cartoon Network okaying a package where only a small part of the channel’s name would appear on the top right corner.
It’s hard to see in the pic, but behind Buttercup (she’s in the green), there’s some text that reads Collectible Figures! <– exclamation point included.

Boy does she look pissed. I guess I’d be pissed if I had no fingers or nose. Yeah, I actually went and took a look at pics of these characters online and was amazed to find that these missing parts wasn’t planned by the bootleg toy makers. Heh, getta load of the paint job where the hair is parted. I don’t understand, are bootleg toys produced on an automated toy line or are they hand painted?

Here are the other two figures. Yeah, there really is no play function with these things. They are just little tiny statues of the Powerpuff Girls. It’s actually amazing that the bootleggers got the colors of the characters pretty much spot on.
These little statues stand about three inches tall. The bubble they are packaged under is the natural bootleg toy brittle. The back of the package is just plain old cardboard for which I’m thankful. That’s one less pic I had to take for this review.

I might have some other Powerpuff Girl bootleg toy material laying around somewhere. But to be honest, there’s one toy that I really am hoping to dig up soon. That’s Robert Cop. My bootleg RoboCop action figure that for some reason, is one of the most popular toys on this site.
