Funny Transformer Ripoffs & KOs

Casting resurrect here

Found a bunch of store-branded knockoffs at the grand opening of Miniso (a Daiso type store) at my local shopping centre.

These included oversize CW legends and Cybertron Hardtop

Someone's asleep at their legal department. Stocking the odd knockoff you might get away with but to put your own store branding on KO products is just inviting litigation.

That is ballsy... and some amusing names for their toys - Skywalker Transformation Toy for Optimus. It's like they are trying to pick a fight with both Hasbro and Disney with the one product.

I like how their Powerglide used to be a Gundam pilot (Char Aznable) and how Bumblebee has taken on the name of a bot that hates him (Waspinator).

I think these guys went to the trademark school of "f*** it"

My favourite choice is named Plastic Toy

An IGA store had Kidoshin Autobots. Looks as though they bought the rights to the word Autobots.

Saw this in the local post office



Was tempted to buy some since they were "Ultimate Collectors Edition!"

Late late reply, but miniso itself is a knock off company so I don't think they care about legalities too much.
