I tracked down those Turtles, according to the reviews they're sadly sent loose in a box, not on a card with their bios, and apparently often with their head and limbs already broken off.

The company that put out that train set also makes Kre-o who put out stuff with the Transformers and G.I. Joe brands. I bought this Optimus Prime a couple of years ago and the quality of the bricks felt fine. They absolutely are knock off Lego to the point where they are completely compatible but that's fine.


Kre-o was made by Hasbro, they're only knock-off Lego in the sense they use the same shape bricks, like Megablox.

Being a competitor doesn't mean that you're making knockoffs though. Pepsi isn't a bootleg of Coka Cola for example.

You're right; if you make a product that's literally exactly the same as an earlier product to the point that it is 100% interchangeable, it's a copy, but if its quality is comparable, it's not a knock-off.

God, sometimes these bootlegs bum me out. Just thinking about some poor kid stuck with this pitiful thing instead of a real Spider-Man because his family is too poverty-stricken (or his whole community is) and that's the only toy they have access to/can afford.

And, not to be a complete drag:

From my experience, you can get a regular bootleg Spider-Man for the same price. I know because I grew up poor and had a Spider-Man that could shoot web, only the paint was wonky and the plastic was cheaper than you'd expect. Otherwise it was a lot like the real thing. The same goes for a bunch of Transformers toys I had.

When parents get an extremely lazy soldier toy like that painted as a popular property, it's either because they don't care enough, or the child doesn't care enough.

Don't feel sad about it. Take it from a Latin American, everyone here grows up with nothing but bootleg upon bootleg, and we can look back on it and laugh. As a kid you won't notice the difference much, and as an adult, they end up having sentimental value and are just funny in general. I love the few stupid bootlegs I still have left (most were taken by my niece, sadly) and I try taking pics of the new bootlegs I find whenever I leave home, and there's always more to find.

Oh yeah. My cousins and friends had a combination of bootlegs and the actual deal. We didn't give two shits and were only interested in throwing the Ninja Turtles from a second floor (they had parachutes!!), who cares if Donatello had pristine details and Michelangelo's mask paint was peeling off it was fun.

Mopsy, I'm starting to question your medical credentials.

god

I'm signed up for the Black Cat Mystery book club because I like having access to a ton of old-rear end pulp novels (it's how I discovered Rufus King!) but most of the covers are just. Absolutely atrocious. The loving worst. There's some where there's actual art, or even just unobjectionable art, but there's also a lot that look like that horrible Kindle cover. I have never actually looked into it but sometimes I get the vibe that most of Wildside Press is just John Betancourt himself, scanning in old magazines and running them through OCR software before trying to make a cover in GIMP with whatever images he happens to have on hand. Like, for a while, he was straight-up selling used paperbacks from his personal library through the Wildside Press website.

Which is only tangentially related to bootlegs, but it's very funny to get an official promotional email from a book publisher that says "hey does anyone want my old books".

I have to assume he doesn't have the rights to the original paperback cover, which while not exceptional, at least let you know "this is a cyberpunk thing."
The Kindle cover makes me think it's a tie in for ATI graphics cards.
