Knock-off figures - general discussion

[joossa]

What a disgrace! 

[sauroid]

the poop gimmick is so symbolic of their products.

[Halichoeres]

Speaking of Papos, I find it funny that National Geographic would let their name be associated with this:

But perhaps not surprising, this being a company that recently allowed itself to be essentially purchased by Fox (a 73% stake).

A knock off Papo with pictures of Schleich and Sideshow on the box, cute

Lego Jurassic World is not immune either:

Perfect!

Lego Jurassic World is not immune either:

The Pteranodon's wings they're...they're backwards.

I can't remember the brand but I've seen a few Papo and Schleich knock-offs at Target. The next time I'm there I'll have to take my camera.

Wow! What's with that Natinal Geographic Poop set? Did somebody simply place their logo on the box? Surely it's a fake right?

National Geographic has always been overly conservative in their paleontology, overly conservative and poorly researched. I've always called them "the Fox news of science" because they are the overly conservative, often false, and yet still sadly often looked to source for science news. I'm not at all surprised to see them hit a total low like this.

we're not absolutely sure yet about the NG alliance with that toy product. those chinese pirates would steal anything to make their products sell.

It's best to try to keep our political views out of the dinosaur forum.  Thanks.

Please don't take it upon yourself to publicly moderate the forum - if you have a problem with a post, please report it to a moderator.

The 'no politics' rule is a means to an end i.e. it exists to snub out heated angry political discussion when it occurs. It is not an end in itself which is why it is only "discouraged", not forbidden. Post's like Stargatedalek's, placed in context like this, are fine. If it leads to heated discussion, then we will nip it in the bud. Thank you!

My apologies if I said anything related to politics, I felt I was making a lighthearted jab at National Geographic for their frequent errors. Saying National geographic and Fox News have errors really shouldn't be taken as a political attack when they really do contain errors. Making fun of Fox News or admitting it isn't perfect doesn't make someone anti-republican.

Don't worry, I took it in the way you intended and I'm sure almost everyone else did too

still though with having no trike in this legoi jw season it maight be useful and that trike could make as great hatchling for the bigger original lego dino trike.

Not trying to step on anyone's toes.  I didn't think I was "moderating", just being helpful.  That's why the

It's getting more and more outrageous ! This one is offered on eBay.com for about USD 400 by a U.S. company .

[CityRaptor]

Seems a bit expensive for the cat to play with. 

Either the seller is dumb or they think they can find someone dumb enough to pay for it.

[Shonisaurus]

It reminds me of the worst figures Schleich.

Are these for real, some of them look like photoshops...
