Chinese Action Figure Rip-Offs

[Aaronius]

There is a mid-sized Chinese food restaurant in town that I enjoy eating at. On my way out today I saw a collection of "action figures" that they were selling. I wish I'd thought to take a picture of the toys themselves, but the writing on the boxes was fairly suggestive, so I snapped some photos to share the humor.

 

I should add that I think this Chinese company pretty much disregarded copyright laws because each box contained a ripoff of spider man, a power ranger, batman, superman, the hulk, and "power" man (?). Haha. But given that variety, they were pretty much all the same figure - except painted differently (but badly!).

When I was a teenager, Batman was on tv, Adam West, etc, and my

slightly older Uncle Rick worked at a Walmartish type store parttime,

and bought me some really cool Batman tshirts that had Captain America

wings where the Bat ears were supposed to be. Robin had blond hair.

When I was little my grandma took me to some Asian swap meet and bought me some rip off Ninja Turtle toys. I wish I still had them, or a picture of them. They were awesome. They looked like the flashback turtles on the cover of #9 with the full head cap, and I believe they had the same weapons as that issue too. I remember the billy club things and a three section staff.

Star Wars toys were infinitely bootlegged...you can see and read more here.

 

 

The joints of the caped figures couldn't be moved.

Not only that, but from the looks of his cape he's from china!

They have tons of the GIJOE fakes because they where manufactured there like some of the other toys mentioned and people get hold of the plates/molds and make more.

 

I have seen on ebay boxes of fakes being sold at auction for Storm Shadow saying they are authentic.

I had some of those GI Joe fakes too. Or if not fakes then just an off brand because I think my dad got them for me in a K-Mart or something.

If they where from a store most likely Fun School.

 

 

Storm Shadow for example on the Fun School have a cheaper plastic and thicker bow string while the original has smaller bow string and better plastic. Also the skin tone is different and more yellow on the Fun School.

Good heavens, the derp is strong in that bootleg Chewie.
