I love how he still has the Optimus Prime style chestplate despite that no longer actually being the front of the truck.
That's actually probably the least knockoff-y aspect, not few official Transformers do that sort of thing these days to replicate old designs. Although this particular one looks like it just hides in the trailer altogether and shares no parts at all with the vehicle mode.

A rare look at what Harry Potter would have been like in the early-mid 90s.

I remember Amusing Duck being the real deal, who's popularity spawned a knock off that still laid eggs but had absolutely terrifying music.

e. Hmmm, yeah, sure this music chip will work, they just want a duck that lays eggs right

I'm partial to THE GOOSE. Looking at the bottom of the box, that looks like the same model repainted, but features better guillotine bumflap action.

Most certainly is. Here's Ashens reviewing the bloody thing with some details shots of the back of the card:

I only skipped through that video with the sound turned off, but the way the reviewer tossed the evil clever dog aside at the end of the review looked really mean-spirited.

In my old job I once came across a fantastic primary/early secondary school textbook from India. It was a foreign language conversation book - you may know the kind, they usually have kids learning the language as identification characters and they get into all sorts of everyday conversations. "Good morning, my name is so-and-so." "Excuse me, when does the next bus leave." And so on. Except where regular books have the kids go abroad, or visitors from abroad coming to their home country, this one had a wild mix of entirely unlicensed comic characters. No changes were made to the topics, nor any acknowledgements that these were fictional characters from their own stories. This meant you got conversations where the kids exchanged phone numbers with Mickey Mouse and Asterix, only to learn that Count Dracula didn't have a telephone.

I immediately showed it to everyone and regret to this day that I never set aside half an hour to scan the whole thing. It was one of the most absurd things I've ever seen.

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.

I just saw something puzzling in the supermarket.



Knockoff Pickle Rick costume? The weird part is that they have like a dozen copies of this one costume, and I didn't see any other adult costumes at all. Because it's a supermarket, not a costume store.
:iiam:
Just realized that the guy who ran (runs?) I-Mockery has to be feeling either super ripped off or entirely vindicated by the pickle craze.

$40 for those two, 50 for a few others, and there's not a thing under $40; Darxide pulls in the lead with $75.

Darxide is definitely not worth 75. It's a Europe only game for the 32X that is pretty much just 3D Asteroids.
Mother 3 is great but 40 is definitely a bit steep too. Let alone NES Earthbound for 50.
