Super S. Heros Robot

October 12th, 2009 · 8 Comments · Superman

Here’s a look at another classic bootleg toy. Yes, it’s on the old site with the over-compressed photos. This is one of my favorite series of bootleg toys. The Super S. Heros robot series. The series includes Superman, Batman, Wolverine and a Power Ranger (or is it a Masked Rider robot?). Today, we’re going to [...]

Spider-Man Classics

August 5th, 2009 · 6 Comments · Spider-Man, Superheroes

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 [...]

Batman: Mission Masters

May 21st, 2009 · 5 Comments · Batman, Superheroes

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 [...]

Batman Beyond: Mission Masters

April 24th, 2009 · 11 Comments · Batman

I didn’t see that many Batman Beyond bootleg toys. The pickings were pretty slim, Actually, more like practically non-existent. But I did find three figures based on the Mission Masters toy line (I think). One cool thing about these toys, they come with their own original bootleg toy packaging!
These toys were hard for me to [...]

Spider-Man Mini Figurines

February 3rd, 2009 · 6 Comments · Spider-Man

I’ve had these little figures for I don’t know how long now. Maybe five, six years. There’s no trademark information anywhere on them.
These are well crafted little figures showing the lighter side of Spider-Man.
If anybody knows anything about them, please give me a holler.

There are nine figures. Each one showing Spidey in different poses. Lessee, [...]

Batman Beyond?

January 19th, 2009 · 5 Comments · Batman, Superheroes

Okay, the two figures in this review are good for a great laugh. Not only are they crummy looking, but they remind me of a custom figure gone horribly, horribly wrong. Check ‘em out….

Okay, so we’ve got packaging featuring Batman Beyond and Batman (I’m digging the colors BTW).  We’ve got a Batman figure, but he’s [...]

The Batman Four Pack

January 13th, 2009 · 6 Comments · Batman, Superheroes

I love this bootleg toy set because nothing says Batman like Guns, rifles, swords and knives. Plus the bootleg toy makers used the Batman cartoon logo (thx Aaron!)  for this bootleg toy set. The colors on the card are purple, white and blue and for some reason, remind me of the Batman I grew up [...]
