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 [...]

This next bootleg toy series is a concept that is pretty cool. I’ve seen something sort of like these toys, but not with the same kind of fan to fly the toy. What? Did I say fly? Well, sort of. These toys are tied to a line (I guess you can say it’s a tethered [...]

For any folks who have written to me lately, I know I haven’t replied. But I promise I will. I’ve just been buried in work and visiting different parts of the country. It leaves me really, very little playtime. So when I am home, I prefer to go out and chase the ladies rather than [...]

Let’s take a trip down to Mexico. Now I’m not too far from the US/Mexico border. I haven’t visited there for a while now. But I think I will be taking a trip there in the not too distant future (if I could only remember where my passport is).
The following figure is plenty old. This [...]

Here’s another oldie but goodie. Heh, I keep digging up stuff I forgot I ever had.
This is definitely from the late 1990s. It’s a repackaging of some figures I posted a short while ago. Or is it the other way around and that other series is a repackaging of this set?
Well, who cares? Behold [...]

Onto the Batman Gloves!
Heh, if you’re really expecting a pair of bootleg Batman Gloves, then you may find yourself a bit [...]

This set of bootleg action figures is relatively new. I picked them up in summer of 2008. It’s a set of four figures. But get this. It features the debut of a character that I had never seen bootlegged before in my part of the world.
Check out the Super Heroes Justice League.

All righty! This set [...]

Following in the footsteps of the Batman Beyond: Mission Masters bootleg toys is this three figure set of Batman: Mission Masters bootleg toys. I found these toys at the same time I found the Batman Beyond set. I honestly don’t know how long I’ve had these toys. I’m betting they’ve been in my collection for [...]

What will they think of next?
Okay, you don’t have to make a comment. I know the pic is out of focus. I’m an engineer, not a photog!
But come on, you can figure out the character that’s represented below, right?

Here’s the bottom of the toy (or is it weapon?).  Well, that’s certainly a bat.

What are [...]

Now I normally don’t like the bootleg toys that come with multiple figures packaged together. Usually, the shopkeepers figure that because the package is big, the price should also be big.
But in the case of the set below, well, this time around, I got seven figures. So it didn’t feel like I was really getting [...]
