Yeah, the one on the left is def the 80s toy style.

Naw, she's definitely a Fakie G3 Pony from the 2000's. The G1 80's Ponies were larger and less "chubby". "Fakies" -bootleg My Little Ponies- have been around since the beginning and there are MLP collectors with a soft spot for them because they really are... something. Like, obviously My Little Ponies aren't realistic at all but with some Fakies it's like, do you even know what a pony is?

(Don't look at me like that. I collected My Little Ponies since I was a little girl.)

There is little that makes me happier than taking drugs. Perhaps administering them, designing and carrying out experiments that bend the plane of what we consider reality.

I was at the dollar store today and tried looking for hilarious knockoffs, but they mostly have licensed stuff or things that I don't recognise as a knockoff. Best I could find was magic pony.



Not very remarkable, except what the gently caress is going on with their eyes? Even in magic pony land, one of these horses must have a severe skull deformity.





Not a knockoff, but I thought vacuum packed corn from Thailand was a little weird.


At first I thought it must be some weird corn on the cob themed candy, but no, it is fresh cobs of corn. Best Before june 2017, somehow. Why? Why is canada importing this? At $2 for 2 cobs it's not even a super cheap price for corn. Why does this exist?

Why would you assume it was imported? Canada produces lots of corn.

He didn't assume. He stated in his post it's from Thailand and here is a video also stating its from Thailand:

Probably enough for their population, but compared to actual "corn producing" countries, not so much. They only make about 1% of the global yield, compared to ~35% for the US and ~21% for China. Not sure what the breakdown is between feed/seed/industrial is.

The issue is how bent out of shape you are getting over it. It's like he shot your dog. Your off-brand, knockoff, Evil Clever Dog.




They look to be knockoffs or at least extremely similar to Beast Wars Transformers.

I can't believe there isn't someone stocking up on stupid gimmicky knockoff garbage like Evil Clever Dog, Amusing Duck, Titanic Bot and such. Like, you could sell those online and make a fortune, I would pay 7 dollars for an Evil Clever Dog just for the novelty of it.

Dollarama, apparently.

I feel like there's enough demand that maybe a "bootleg hunting thread" might be a good idea. Going to dollar stores and posting the sort of poo poo you find and seeing if people might be interested in it. Have a list of must-buys like Evil Clever Dog, Amusing Duck, etc :v:

He actually said on an interview once that he gets constant messages from really creepy ASMR people all the time who tell him that his pleasing voice and all the crinkling have made him a weird ASMR celebrity.

So I recently got hold of some pretty amazing knockoff pokemon toys from (presumably) china. They are pretty awful/amazing.

Heres the box they come in, you can see they are inside these cheap little Gatchapon capsule like pokeballs, they are not easy to open due to the awful molding.


These are what the tiny figures like, there are some allright ones like this Tyranitar



Or this Registeel



However others like this poor Blastoise are not quite as well produced,



Or this thing which im pretty sure is not a pokemon at all, (sorry about the blur)



As an extra here is some random knockoff Mega charizard X next to a legitimate one, can you tell which is real?

Those look like Pokémon gummy candy, which I would eat the poo poo out of.
