That's just sad... Sad, but at the same time it reminds me of a story (I believe I mentioned on these forums before): The story is when Yahoo! used to have their chat/message boards, on one of the pages devoted to the "Planet of the Apes" television series, there was a member of the board who thought that Mego's "Starsky & Hutch" figures were just redressed Burke and Virdon figures and she said "Ain't commerce grand"-I quickly set her straight and even linked her to these forums so she could see that 'S&H' were indeed totally different head sculpts compared to Burke & Virdon.

I guess people are still making the same (unfortunate) mistakes.
