RE: bike gender arguing the toy is clearly modeled after a folding bicycle, as evidenced by the hinges on the middle lower frame and above the headset. those generally always have low slung bodies like that. jopos own, though.

It's been a while since I did a bootleg dump, let's do one for old times' sake! And by that, I mean shamelessly steal some choice bootlegs from this site       And one more, just in case!  But wait! I lied.

Yeah the classic 1985 Imperial Toys Godzilla. It looked like a lovely knockoff but apparently it was officially licenced from Toho.  Edit: seems like the Imperial Godzilla came out a few years too late for me, when I was a kid I had these Imperial toys:   The generation before me got this way cool Shogun Warriors Godzilla by Mattel which shot its fist off and had red 'flames' on a ribbon you could extend from its mouth. 
Snowglobe of Doom has a new favorite as of 11:03 on Jul 3, 2017 |

It's pretty common to find that imperial mold godzilla in general rubber dinosaur bins wherever actually.

I'm guessing they were new birthday clothes, fresh from Montgomery Wards. I've looked into getting that Godzilla to give to my 3yo, but don't really want to blow $600 on a toy that would in really just be for me.

I bought the gnomezilla as a gag gift for a friend and it was disappointingly small. It's sightly over a foot tall so the lawn gnomes it was destroying are pretty tiny.

I told her to make sure the others saw it so they wouldn't step out of line. My brothers had a Godzilla toy when they were kids thats eyes lit up red and scared them. They couldn't sleep with it in the same room. Is that the same one?

 I remember reading a book about building hot rods when I was a kid, that cautioned against cheap knockoff parts with deceptive labelling, like "Food" or "Focomo" or, hilariously, "Frod". Never knew stuff like that actually existed.

I have a manga published by the World Intellectual Property Organization that's about counterfeit goods, and in the climax the hero, a motorbike delivery guy for the brand goods store, saves the love interest, who delivers for the knockoff store, from certain death after she buys *gasp* the knockoff bike brakes. It's a quick read.

Reminds me of the labeling you'll find on knockoff video game carts. There's stuff like Nintondo and Nintemdo.
