knock offs
« on: Tuesday 31 August 2010, 05:56 am »
so have any of you out there seen not so perfect knockoffs?

i saw one that was the body of the pose able care bears figures but had a" pear" instead of the usual design.

they got the body but not the symbol right.   ;D

personally i do not mind knock offs that are supposed to be a little off and somewhat silly or trying to copy something popular. what i HATE is deliberate knock offs that are made to scam people out of money!

I agree. And sometimes fakie makers will have more creativity than the line they are copying. Like the "Sunshine Pony" sets gave a SSC style doll and a pony Rainbow Brite style hair. Nobody else did anything like that.
