Description: From Brian Heiler, the author of "Rack Toys: Cheap, Crazed Playthings" and Toy-Ventures magazine, comes a look into the weird world of Knock-Off Toys. Knock-Offs is a celebration of the dime store bootleg figure; the copyright-infringing silliness meant to fool our grand people. The subjects range from toys of the 1960s to the 2000s and include every popular genre. Chapter Index:1) Crime Fighting Copy Cats- This chapter details the numerous superhero-inspired knock-offs from Captain Action clones to Mego Superhero copies to the multitude of Batman the Animated Series clones. 2) Discount Draculas-We look at the many attempts to copy the Horror genre with memorable items like the Sungold monsters, Krazy Kreeps, Nightmare Feddy and the fabulous Amigos Del Terror. 3) Space Madness-This chapter explores the crazy world of bootleg Star Wars, Star Trek with such notable weirdness as Lincoln's Mr. Rock and Robert Cop. 4) Celebrity Impersonators-The cavalcade of cheap toys meant to look like our favourite 80s action stars like Rambo or Mr. T, WWF wrestlers and of course, James Bond. 5) ToyFoolery-The fantastic amount of toys meant to copy other toy lines, taking from the best like GI Joe, MOTU, Sectaurs and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. With such unique names as Supper Warrior, Amicable Herculean, Galaxy Warriors and Insect Man. 6) Bootleg Art-Chapter six talks about the bootleg toy-art scene and profiles some of the giants in the field, including Sucklord, Killer Bootlegs, Chance Priest, BKC Toys, Mr. Dan and many more. 132 Pages- 8.5 by 112021 PlaidStallions Press sungold, galaxy hole, bootleg toys, megolike, mego esque, AHI, Remco, Lincoln International, Ideal, Knight of Darkness, Turly Gang, Power Rangers, tomland, mr action, satyr masters, 80s toys, street sharks, mego, space flyman, mego knock offs, Categorized in Books and Catalogs, TOY-VENTURES MAGAZINE ahi dracula, ahi frankenstein, ahi super monsters, ahi wolfman, Azrak hamway, brick-mantooth, evel knievel, exclusive, john marshall, Lincoln International, man doll, Mego, mego magazine, mego museum, mego toys, megomuseum, monster squad, odeon toys, plaid stallions, Plaidstallions, plaidstallions toy ventures, Planet of the Apes, planet of the apes toys, Rack Toys, remco star trek, space 1999 toys, star trek toys, super collector, toy ventures, toy ventures magazine, toyventures magazine, worlds greatest toys MAGAZINES WILL SHIP IN 48 HOURS FROM PURCHASE, US ORDERS GET TRACKING VIA USPS.
