Apologies for whacking a dead horse (or in this case, a dead post) for the umpteenth time, but I've got some more news regarding the bootleg toys.
I was in a flea market a few days ago and there was a few chinese guys who unloaded a huge truckload of
crap chinese knockoffs. Among these was
Gusto Choochoo, a Thomas knockoff which I found a video of on youtube. It actually looks quite a lot like thomas and sounds quite a lot like a train, so they're headed the right way. Unfortunately, they mucked it up with all the strobe lights. >_>
Then there's
The Pooh Train which seems less like a train and more like a mutant rolling seizure-inducing dance club with the same sound chip as Mike's 3rd "Lightning McQueen" bootleg. :shock:
I didn't bring a camera, and I couldn't find a video of this one. It's a Pikachu driving a Ferrari with a sped-up loop of Mr. Brownstone by Guns N' Roses (With the word Motherf**ker still included) with flashing headlights. Pikachu bops his head, and a random anime girl in the trunk. O_o
Well that rounds out the trifecta. Pretty weird, huh? I would upload my re-creation of the Brownstone loop, but I can't find a reliable audio server.
