I couldn't find the infamous photo of Philovirus' house filled with 500 FC plush dolls which he never sent out but according to the SAclopedia entry the custom plush toy company he ordered them from still has a photo of on in their gallery:  http://www.customplushtoys.com/Inventor/gallery.php?category=28&tpages=3&page=2

Years and years ago I found an Amusing Duck in a discount store and gave it to someone as a present. They'd never heard of it and thought it was a lovely gift and no doubt threw it away afterwards. What a goddamned waste.  If anyone desperately wants one they turn up on eBay every now and then.

There's a whole ton of bootleg/ripoff TMNT toys, possibly due to the fact that there's been hundreds and hundreds of official TMNT figures to inspire them.

It turns out that Warrior King Kong Shockwave is part of a gestalt set: It looks like they don't actually transform but you can pull them apart and recombine them with Optimus to form bigger robots:  They also had King Kong Starscream and King Kong Sideswipe:   .... but no King Kong Warrior Optimus Prime. I guess they might be able to combine with each other? That's if they actually combine at all and the photos on the back of the box weren't faking the whole thing. Choco1980 posted:Next time you're in, like when you gotta buy Invictus' robot, try to snap a pic of the back of the box, will ya? poo poo, I actually looked at the back but forgot to take a photo. It had pretty much all the Monopoly rules printed on the back. Bonus fat-legged Spider-Man:

A governmental Consumer Affairs watchdog in Australia have released their annual list of banned Christmas toys which were deemed too unsafe to be made available to children. Pretty much most of them seem to be lovely Bootleg/Knockoff pieces of crap including "Future Star Loveable Duck", "Pokemon Go Car", "Sponge Bob Square Pants Car" and "Despicable Me 2 Rifle". They have a pdf file with photos of all the offending products which is pretty much a collection of toy mugshots.  They rounded up all the haraam toys they found and executed them:

I was googling this out of curiosity and found a Lego Ideas submission which is almost exactly the same but with a few slight differences in the Pokemon figures, the plants in the pots outside the door, etc etc. I wonder which one came first and which one is ripping off the other one.

Nuevo posted:I'm puzzled as to why, after ripping off and mashing up everything else wholesale, they changed Shrek's head. That's actually Fungus the Bogeyman's head. The cast list down the bottom of the poster actually worked on the animated Fungus the Bogeyman TV series so those are probably the only correct details on the entire poster.

But then theres this weird math equation. But the dude is in the crosshairs? I tracked down the original blog post where these photos come from and it turns out that this weird gun toy is most likely a pirated version of an official James Bond toy gun:  (Note the similarity between the bullets and the grenades in both toys.) Oddly enough the 007 version didn't have the huge number 7 handle.

Wheat Loaf posted:I remember Crazy Frog being driven more by ringtone advertisements on Channel 4 than by the Internet. Crazy Frog was the best selling ringtone of 2005 . Ringtone were a multi-billion dollar a year business in the late 00s and for some major labels represented over 40% of their online sales. Billboard started listing the ringtone top 40 and music award shows started giving awards for Best Ringtone. poo poo was crazy. Apparently T-Pain's label at the time wasn't particularly interested in him but changed their minds after he sold 6.7 million ringtones.

There's some of them like COUPLE ANIMALS, CLEAR MAP, STONE and BOX which sound like they have absolutely zero gameplay. I can imagine booting up COUPLE ANIMALS and it's just two antelopes standing there shrugging at you. Then there's games like MELONS BOWLING, RECEIVE EGGS, GUESS PLANTS and RECEIVE FRUIT which I imagine have minimal gameplay and are exceedingly repetitive and dull. And then there's BEAT PIG which has to be absolutely amazing and no one will ever convince me otherwise.

If people were still wondering whether the Lepin sets are worth getting if you can't afford the genuine Lego sets then here's a video that does a pretty in-depth comparison of the Lepin X-Wing versus the Lego X-Wing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=toQTNjgfcG8 tl;dr: the Lepin sets aren't perfect and can have small defects or minor missing pieces but if you're just going to display the model on a shelf they're nearly indistinguishable

The MSJ posted:It looks nothing like the Disney version, though. If Disney Consumer Products LLC decided to get a bee in their bonnet over all the costume knockoffs they could pick one of these companies at random and tie them up in litigation for years and years to force them into bankruptcy as a warning to all the others. Probably best not to risk it.
