Title: Bootleg toys, true quality
Post by: Gortef on October 08, 2006, 05:09:39 am: I'm not sure how many of you collect these plastic models of anime/tv-series/movie characters, but I'm pretty sure that some of you do. I don't actively collect these, I only have one which my friend brought me as a souvenier. Vash The Stampede from Trigun, quite a nice one actually, good details etc.

But have you ever come across with some really bad quality bootleg ones? Perhaps you have...
I didn't, untill someone posted this into 4chan (featuring the original one for somparison).

There isn't that much difference now is there...
That damn thing still makes me chuckle and laugh everytime I see it. Poor thing doesn't look that happy to be in existence herself either.

I'll post two more examples found on http://www.animejump.com , just for fun and entertainment.

Looks like Pikachu has found some lipstick.

And then there's this one.
To tell you the truth, I can't figure out what to say about this...

That's really so sad though...the first one looks kinda like she got afflicted with down syndrome...

They look so terrible, it's an injustice to the original characters, whether or not the anime was good.

Oh man, it makes me laugh with a frown just looking at them

And dear god, that last one...I don't know where to start. It's just so damn wrong on so many levels and in so many ways.

The face in that pic is most likely the best (worst) part of it, but you can't really rule out the superbness of the "sword"... or whatever it is :lol:
