This week's installment of Toy Ventures is a bit of a departure as I just got a big box of weird Mego Knock off items and I decided to share it with you while i "unbox".

We talk about various Mego and Captain Action related knock offs i've found over the years and well, some of this stuff is hilarious..

That Red Batman and Hasidic Superman may beat Mr. Rock as my favorite knockoff. Those are insanely great! What a fun video!

Glad you enjoyed it!

A couple of things since it went up as people have had some insight-

Batman was red in Italian comic books, so a lot of KO Merch featured him that way.

The Bat cape looks to be the same pattern as the Action boy Robin but in a purply/blue. It would explain why it's too big for him.

Imagine getting circumcised by Super Rabbi. I wonder if he uses his heat vision to do it?

Yeah I do not understand why they went for the red but it does explain why there is so much out there. Also I love both of the Super-Rabi figures. I would have bought them both as well.

My favorite episode yet. Loving the weird paints and Batman's "wardrobe malfunction".

I watched the video last night and was going to mention the red Italian thing. I believe the Phantom is all red in Italy as well? I know Castaway made a red Phantom, because I own one!

I knew the cape looked like a Captain Action item, but it slipped past me that it was Robin's...which is funny because I was about 5 feet away from my Action Boy Robin while watching the video!

Great stuff! Please share more!

I didn't have sound working, so I can only comment on the pretty stuff. I have always been a fan of "Italian Batman." Also one of those guys just needs new hair and he'd make a good Megoey Elvis.

Sometimes collecting the Knock -offs can be more fun then the real toys ....if nothing more than conversations pieces or for a laugh
