This topic is about FAKE Bionicles. Yup Maskers. Remember to post links to 'em. So yeah. NOTE: DO NOT START A FLAME WAR. OK? Right thats got over with lets start! Oh and i forgot;there used to be one like this one! So im sorta bringing it back.

[Ultimate Sybre]

Dude, you gotta wait for us. And especially don't double post.

Anyway, the Neoshifters from Megabloks seemed pretty confusing and could barely pass as a BIONICLE.

[Wind Elemental]

I remember this thing called "Invincibility Robot" which looks like a Bionicle ripoff. I remember someone mentioning it in another topic before. Also, I don't have a link. Sorry...

That "Kualus" looks disastrous. The Darth Vader head doesn't help either. The "Xplode set' doesn't look too different but it's still a ripoff. Heck, even the Soldier logo looks like the Bionicle logo (on "Kualus") and the Brick logo looks way too much like the Lego one. Is that even legal?

The fake bohrok does look a tiny bit cool.

Hey, anyone seen these bad ripoffs? They may be called "Max Warrior" on the packaging, but these are clear bootlegs of the BIONICLE 2005 Titans which spinner-launching action just like the originals!

Also, this video on Vimeo reveals bootlegged versions of Kazi and a black Fikou.

And, Garnira, I see your space soldier pics and I give you this review of a Space Soldier (I can't believe that Darth Vader head is real. Apparently, the heads are very tiny.) and this other one.

Someone on Brickshelf named Brickor also revealed a few bootlegs including a boxed full-green Kongu Inika.

Also, the "Max Warriors" return here. Apparently, the MWs were bootlegged as well!

Last of all, JINZONINGEN73 from Brickshelf reveals Asian bootlegs here.

How do you like me now?

Which launchers? Plenty of launching bootlegs, here.

But all of the originals (the ones with launchers) have working launchers.

Anyway, the Neoshifters from Megabloks seemed pretty confusing and could barely pass as a BIONICLE.

Just want to point out that Neoshifters are not what classify as a bootleg, as they were (at most) very loosely inspired by Bionicle and did not copy any of TLC's designs. There is a big diference between a clone brand and a knockoff, hard as it is for some people to understand.

I've seen pictures of the Invincebility Robots before, but I've never seen the Star Soldiers one before. I can't believe someone actually made that.

[Axilus Prime]

Neo Shifters weren't a ripoff. They were actually cool, at a time. They were like a cross between Bionicle, Transformers, and Bakugan. (Funnily, they came out before the latter.)

Now as for those other things, they are hilarious. I actually found five Rahkshi with wrong spines and wrong staffs marketed as "Space Police."

[Raiden: Toa of Storms]

@ tng, any pictures?

Those "Darth Vader" heads look so bad on Rahaga. It's not hiding the fact that it's stolen from Lego.

*Impressed whistle* Wow.
Is it bad that I actually kinda want some of those last ones?

[Raiden: Toa of Storms]

^^ No. I want them too. ^^

[Ultimate Sybre]

No, no, Zyke. They actually seem pretty cool! I'd like some.

[Bambi]

Maskers

I see what you did there.
Also, those Max Warrior things.. Are actually cool looking. Not that I'd buy one.

No, the Max Warriors were designed to look like 3 of the 2005 Titans. I wouldn't recommend a Max Warrior.

@Raiden I have no pics, but I can take one later. Maybe.

KAPAR ON KAPAR WARRIOR ACTION


Heheheh. I love random badly-translated product taglines. XD

[Dralcax]

I actually find the fake Bohrok hilarious. Horrible plastic, molding irregularities, zero quality control, yeah, I get they, but THE COLORS. It would be cool if someone made an MOC of them with the colors all over the place.

[TheSkeletonMan939]

Look at the Bohrok, they didn't even bother to make their own promo image for the box.

Chinese ripoff companies are either really stupid or wildly intelligent.

[Click]

Hmm, apparently Final Fighter was produced. A quick Google search resulted in this, and a lot of football stuff. I wonder where I can get a hold of those masks...

EDIT: Actually that Brickshelf gallery posted by Sybre shows ebay links, and that same picture. I need some!!
I just hope this topic doesn't turn into a big flame war like the last one.
And I do kind of like those Bohrok, those pieces would be awesome in those colors.

[Sir Flex Nardius]

The blue Max Warrior would be cool to own because it would be like having a new Vortixx character. Also some of those other weird looking Toa look really cool imo.

Some of those bootleg Bionicle sets actually don't look that bad. That grey and yellow ones both look pretty neat but I don't know if they're "cheap" and delicate though...

Yeah, those actually look really awesome. I HAVE to get my hands on one!

Edit: I can't seem to find them. Help?

Edited by Sybre: Soul Shinipire, Sep 16 2012 - 12:02 AM.

[Sir Flex Nardius]

They probably are cheaper and more delicate then Bionicles. If you got them I wouldn't advise playing with them. Think of how cheap the Bionicle pieces got towards the end of its run compared to how it once was, these would probably be worse. I wonder if they are on Ebay anywhere, or how many were made.

Fake Macku looks cool! SD

[Sumiki]

I'm just wondering what "High standards in quality and hygiene" is supposed to mean. Does Vad-omonga floss or something?

Also, I really like some of the parts in the bootlegs that Click posted. Those actually look like some decent parts - too bad LEGO never produced them. They look sort of like the prototype Inika, though.

Of all the bootlegs, I think those were the most ingenious, mainly because they're not direct ripoffs.

[CHTrilogy]

I recall seeing some Knight's Kingdom bootlegs in some store a few years back - does that count?

Hmm, the first and second to last are kind of odd. I like that head, and the blue pieces, but it isn't even as flexible as the real Lego set! And they didn't even bother recoloring the images!
For the "Berserker" Hagah, that's just stupid. I mean, they pretty much only changed the logo! Nothing else! Pretty funny that they're called "Berserkers" though.
The third link is kind of cool. Those canisters would have been nice (although it could shoot the Rahaga Prices through the roof!), and some recolors look nice, but those last few caught my attention. Where on earth did you find that? There's like some Bohrok-Kaita Monster guy there that just looks epic, and then I see a recolored Protocairn, I think, and then some kind of Hordika fusion! Those are just awesome. I wish we had bigger images.
I love that they just called that remade Zaktan "Destroy Reborn." I just find it pretty funny, with the Piraka just destroyers, and he's been reborn into a new, fake copy! That Green Avak head would be cool for MOCs, and I really like those feet. Not too bad as a remake. The Metru head is odd though, especially through that mouth. They couldn't at least copy the Piraka head?

Great find there,Temporphilic.

Makes me wonder how they got ahold of the molds? Unless they made their own from the actual sets?
