Living Stones Toy House (Knock off dinosaurs)

[Takama]

Well, I never thought I would find some, but there's a new seller on Amazon that has knockoffs of some familiar figures. What I think you guys will find amusing, though, is that they also knocked off GEOWORLD.

First off there are the Safari Knockoffs

There you have it, another line of bootlegs running loose on the market.

[tyrantqueen]

The Safari knockoffs are from the "Century of the Dragons" bootleg set.

Also, how does one knock off Geoworld models? They're pretty much knock off quality already, with their poor paintwork and detailing.

[stargatedalek]

"archeopteryx" >_<

"enviromental protection water-baised paint"
they even spell like a bootlegger

[sauroid]

are those pitiful things hollow?

[DinoToyForum]

Hmm, this is bad, and they shouldn't get away with it. Has anyone contacted the plagiarised companies to let them know? If not, I'll drop them an email/tweet.

[DC]

I believe I have seen a Brachiosaurus copy also.  you would think they would at least change the colors. 

[Hynerpeton]

They look nice for a cheap. How much are the non knockoffs?

[CityRaptor]

Let's see:
Living Stone Stego is 9.99
WS Stego is 9.89

So they are selling the knock off at a higher price than the original!

[stargatedalek]

I assume thats before the stores price and before shipping if you get it from safari directly?

[CityRaptor]

Actually that is the Amazon price.

[stargatedalek]

oh, well then thats pretty bad they are charging pretty well as much as the real thing

[Hynerpeton]

Do all the "real" ones have the same color scheme then?

[Manatee]

Hmm, this is bad, and they shouldn't get away with it. Has anyone contacted the plagiarised companies to let them know? If not, I'll drop them an email/tweet.

You certainly should; these are blatant knockoffs.

[stargatedalek]

Do all the "real" ones have the same color scheme then?

significantly brighter and higher quality, but yes the same basic patterns

Hey thanks

Yes, you really should.

[DinoToyForum]

Living Stones Toys (= Holy Stones Toys) is now also a seller on Ebay, selling knock-off versions of figures from all sorts of dinosaur toy companies. Including, for example, a version of the new running Papo T. rex.

They are marketing them under the name 'Holy Stones'. They won't fool us, but they might fool some.

[tyrantqueen]

7 available / 3 sold

Pretty sad, but what can you do Especially since the original is so ubiquitous.

Why do people buy these fakes? I don't understand. I'm genuinely curious as to why someone would buy this. I guess it's cheaper than buying the original but it's an inferior product. And it hasn't been safety tested.

[Crackington]

Most people wouldn't have a clue about the various dino brands, to them they would just be dinosaur toys.

Shouldn't Amazon and E-bay be reported too, if they are allowing blatant counterfeit products to be sold through their websites, aren't they profiteering from this crime too?

[stargatedalek]

well they are essentially selling them second hand on eBay, eBays profit is like the host of a flew market profiting from each tables rent
