Great source for the proper sized O rings. I swear I used to have a link for a site that made recasts of the metal T bars with the hooks... but that may have been like 3 computers ago.


Thank god. I let my kids have all my Joes and an hour later, there were legs everywhere...

I went to Wondercon and bought 2 things, this giant bootleg He-Man and a Magilla Gorilla hand puppet.

This guy is about the same size as an Ollie, and a head taller than a Pollen Kaiser. I'm going to have some epic battles once he figures out how to hold his sword correctly.

I'm tempted to find someone who can remold this guy in rotocast resin.

That guy is pretty epic David, and I would have the exact same reaction as you. Big vinyl dudes just make me want to battle them even more!

I am just guessing that these are from Mexico? This stuff has me more excited that most else I have heard about the show.

More WonderCon bootleg gems please!! :D

Nice!
I rarely find weird bootlegs at cons. Is that sort of thing more common at WonderCon, or was that just a lucky score?

funny, I picked up the same giant he-man bootleg at wondercon. The seller said got a handful of them from some dealer in south america. i assume he had several under the table and put one out on display at a time..

Yeah, he told me the same story. My friend asked if it was used to smuggle drugs into the US. His wife said he had a few more at home and she wanted him to get rid of them all because of their creepy staring eyes. Now we both need to find the matching Skeletor.


Ribbon controller, your friend got an amazing find with that Robocop, I'm a bit envious of it.

^ I love how it looks like a shitty bootleg, even the packaging. Hopefully it looks like that in person.

The first toys i ever remember getting. Must have been around 3 or 4 i think.

Just bought 'em this weekend. Starting to value spending the extra dough to pick up some packaged nostalgia.
