When super strength, heat vision and ice breath fail, you can always dust off the ole sniper rifle...

This ridiculous thing is battery powered and actually crawls and makes shooting sounds. Aside from being stupid, it's a well made toy.

Not only did I buy this bootleg NECA Leonardo directly from Turtles co-creator Kevin Eastman, he even signed it! Talk about being chill...

If an anti-meth ad was a set of action figures...

At least their chests light up. Makes them more comic accurate.

I bought these #minecraft knockoff #lego so you don't have to. The figures inside are random and the blocks don't really fit well together. At almost $7 per box they aren't even cheap. You could get actual Lego for 10. At least the boxes are fun. I love that the brand is 666.

This 6" Zangief was clearly based on the smaller GI Joe Street Fighter figure. How? Why? Who? I've seen a couple more characters from this line, but only have this one.

Oh it's real, I took the picture myself in one of those Chinese markets in Europe.

A solid looking, but very stiff Chinese bootleg. Falls over all the time too.

Frozen Fever, as they usually are
This looks like Bryce Dallas Howard got an unlicensed toy, after getting a haircut without consent. At least it's loud and has no volume button, just the way parents love it.

What an amazing piece. The fakest Funko Pop possible: The Collection Value Mario. Is this a Luigi bobble head? It doesn't even fit in the box. It's also a choking hazard, in case your two year old rips off the enormous head and swallows it. I love it so much...

These erasers (or just pencil toppers) are maybe 3 inches tall. I love how you have to stick the pencil up their ass. I used to have a bunch of them as a kid, including yellow and maybe red. I found these on card from a seller in Greece and bought two.

Heroes of the World Fighter, because Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was already taken by an inferior franchise... I guess this is... Neolardo?

They cost a lot and shipped from England or something, but I'll never regret this purchase of... Things!

Wrestlers, based on #baltard and probably Rick Rude or Jake the Snake Roberts.

Nobody officially released a Deckard, so I got this bootleg, or "custom", as we politely call it.

I was too lazy to chase the actual Wun-Dar figure, so I made my own. Looks pretty decent?

I forgot what this line was called, mine's missing the top part of the cardback for some reason. I love how poorly painted the pants are, so it looks like his nads are hanging out...

Also why's Rocky on the packaging? This is clearly Charles Bronson.

One of the holy grails of #bootleg collecting. The Yugoslavia made He-Man. Mine is in great shape and has his glider and sword. I can't recall if he also came with a shield though.

This one is cool. A custom Remco style Blacula figure that imitates the style, but is actually handmade. Cost me a small fortune, but it was worth it...

Hardly any character/toy has been knocked off as much as Robby the Robot. This version has a wind up mechanism.

These guys could be from the OverTop Man line or the Top Warrior line. They look the same but come in different packaging. Unfortunately I don't have the weapons anymore.
