Flying With Motor

August 27th, 2009 · 4 Comments · Batman, Spider-Man, Superman

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 [...]

3 Spider-Man

August 7th, 2009 · 3 Comments · Spider-Man, Superheroes

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 [...]

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 [...]

Super Bow & Arrows

July 31st, 2009 · 4 Comments · Spider-Man, Superheroes

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 [...]

Water Shooting Spidey

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 [...]

Spider-Man Motorcycle

July 14th, 2009 · 3 Comments · Spider-Man, Superheroes

Well, if it’s got wheels and a Spider-Man figure is on it, then Spidey MUST be riding a motorcycle. Right? That’s the logic the bootleg toy makers must use. Of course. motorcycles have two wheels. But that’s just a minor detail.

This thing’s been in my collection for I don’t know how many years. On the [...]

Super Heroes Justice League

June 8th, 2009 · 6 Comments · Batman, Cartoon, Iron Man, Spider-Man, Superheroes

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 [...]

Super Hero

May 8th, 2009 · 8 Comments · Batman, Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, Superman, The Incredibles

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 [...]
