Blood for the Baron!

The fake ghost buster Egon looks better than the real one.
I have always liked the lesser known 80s toys.
I have a complete set of Mattel MUSCLE figures which were my most played with toys as a kid.
I was lucky enough to come across a one of a kind store display too, the only one known to exist which is pretty cool.

The power of my Aserger mind has detected some semi-canonical value on a few of these fakes (of course, it must have been unintentional from the makers' part). Beware, DAMartin pedantry below:
4.- Superman in Batman package may pass for a Superman released in a Batman collection. It has been the case with originals too (though the guns return him to the weird KO category).
6.- Action Heroes Cat Man: Dangerfield face aside, it would be a good figure for a Burtonverse Catman (AKA Thomas Blake, an enemy of Bats)
12.- Mighty Car is still weird, but I think thei should have mentioned the facttheat it's specifically the A-Team van, so the big BA head is like these Big headed Star Wars vehicles from Burger King.
17.- Mouse and Friends: I think this monstruous Mickey was INTENTIONAL, because he looks too alike to Julius-in-Mickey-body from "Runaway Brain" to be a coincidence. Now the packaging is still misleading. I'm serious, watch the short.
18.- Avengers: Still wrong, but I wanted to add it was still so close because Cap is THE Avenger and Spidey is still OK, as a reserve Avenger. Bats is still wrong.
26.- Silverbat: Bats was a Wild West rider in the Elseworlds "The Grey, the Blue and the Bat", and a similar version of the character was released in the Legends of Batman toyline. Of course, I'm sure the Silverbat creators didn't know that.

Just goes to show what lengths toy manufacturers (legit or otherwise) go to to flog toys cheep!...
No different to late Palitoy Action Force figures sold with no weapons to clear stock...
Guess at least they DID have the licence to market & sell though!...
Don't think DC, Marvel or Disney will be too happy when they see the ripped off characters.
More than anything think they're so funny (especially the backward translations)..

Specialman (superman), & Robert Cop (robocop) are my two personal favourites.

The 'furniture of law enforcement' is that bad I nearly peed my self laughing!!!

Skylinere?? Approve fakes and bootlegs??? Never!!!

It's amazing what some folk will collect (Skylinere)....
Personally originals (approved) is what it's all about...surely?

Remember that fakes sometimes give us canon-based figures that haven't been officially released, like the aforementioned Julius-in-Mickey-body, or repaints of the TF Classic seekers as Sunstorm and some cameo guys.

Thats not even the best Robert Cop:

That's a pretty cool 'Robert Cop' !...
Think that's a new collecting thread there....
there's a world of copies out there!!
