Punch ‘n Rescue

September 4th, 2009 · 2 Comments · Movies, The Incredibles

Quite possibly, this is the worst looking Mr. Incredible bootleg action figure I’ve come across to date.
It’s part of a two figure bootleg toy series. Only thing is, I don’t know if I have both figures in the series.
So let’s take a peek at one of them…

This is Punch ‘n Resue Mr. Incredible. This is one of those rare bootleg toys that actually comes with the correct accessories. The insert is a creation of the bootleg toy makers since I am 99.99999% positive that the original figures did not come with ‘light & sound’. That light & sound feature is something that only the bootleg toy makers produce.

The back of the card features Punch ‘n Resue Mr. Incredible. Which tells me that there’s a good chance the card for the other figure (Super Strength Mr. Incredible) in this bootleg toy series just might actually feature Super Strength Mr. Incredible. Truly, this is a rare thing in bootleg toy packaging.

Other bootleg Mr. Incredible figures that I’ve posted on this blog actually feature some pretty darn good renditions of Mr. Incredible. The bootleg toy factory where this thing was produced just didn’t have the same kind of quality control as other bootleg toy factories when it came to the actual figure. Don’t let the pic fool you. The blue costume this guy comes in is a flat, dull blue. The eyes are actually kind of cross-eyed and the darn light & sound feature doesn’t work. If it ever did, I couldn’t tell you. But considering that the there’s no ‘click’ when I push the button to light up the LED on the chest, I’m thinking it never worked at all.
Curse you bootleg toy maker for taking my three bucks and giving me a toy that I didn’t even get to break myself!

It’s kind of a sad thing when the packaging for a bootleg toy is more interesting than the bootleg toy itself.
“When wall is hit, it break apart!”… that just doesn’t feel right when it rolls off my tongue.
Don’t forget, there’s also WSLL-PHCHING ACTION!! Hmmm… looks like they completely missed the mark when spelling PUNCHING. The other typo? Okay, I can see hitting the S on the keyboard instead of the A. I’ve done that a few times myself.
Hmmm, I’m gonna try something…

In the bottom pic, the bootleg toy mskers ID’d the figures incorrectly.

Of course, who csres thst the Punch’n Rescue (yesh, no spsce between the h snd n) Mr. Incredible hss s cspitsl B or thst Super strength Mr. Incredible hss s couple of typos of its own? This is s bootleg toy we’re tslking sbout. I’m sure the bootleg toy mskers just wsnt this thing put together snd out of the fsctory ss quickly ss possible.
