Not even toy phenomenons of many years ago can prevent themselves from bootlegers.

Here's the Furbish, a knockoff of the Furby! This article has funny statements about the toy, and even states that if you change channels on a TV, he will wake up! In this video, they show what actually happens during a chat between the Furbish and a Japanese Furby.,
Then there's the Furdy, which was found in the UK at the peak of the Furby craze. It wears a bow tie that also can be taken off, so that's an easy way to tell if your Furby is, well, a Furdy! It also sings Old McDonald, like the Furbish in the video above! This is a video demo of some things this lovely knockoff does!

Tamagotchis, another "toy phenomenon", have been bootleged as well. Here's an example of a Japanese Tamagotchi bootleg, Thimagotcha Color.
This site has tons of knockoff Tamagotchi toys.

It's time to take a trip waaaaaaay back in time, because back in the 80's, there was such thing as bootleg Cabbage Patch Kids! There are a few articles on the web about them. This article said that they have a kerosene smell instead of the iconic baby power smell. And this one states why children at Diamond Bar Elememtary Schools can't bring in dolls to school-guess which counterfeit doll was the culprit?

And about the SpongeBob Caramelldansen thing-I didn't see it, someone else on YouTube said they saw it in NYC on one of the Mike Mozart videos-I think it was the one with "A pooh friction is very interesting" on the box of the toy that played "Around The World"?

By the way, if you want to know the verse that was used for that particular Pooh Toy, it's: "Little by little, it's the finest meal, it's appetite for hope..."

I saw the Lightning McQueen with the Sophie soundchip and Gout at a dollar store once. I even once had a nightmare where I was at a dollar store and every toy in the store played it. I often hear it in dreams where I go to discount stores because well, as I said before, it really freaks me out.

Edit:Yet another bootleg of a toy phenomenon: Beanie Babies.


Bootleg Bob's has tons of knockoffs toys on his blog.
