My favorite is Spaderman. I immediately pictured James Spader putting on the mask to become Spaderman – you friendly neighborhood mudslinger.

All I know is that I want a Titanic-Bot and a horse-riding, lasso-wielding Superman.

Funny thing is… these pictures actually make me feel Nostalgic. I grew up in Manila and when I was a kid there was this place our grandparents used to bring us to buy toys.

It was a warehouse sized store that was called “Plastic City” and it was filled with toys like these. It reminds me of the days when children were happy with simple toys.

Pokemon are also called Pocket Monsters over there, so Pocket Monika is a play off that.

These images just make me sad. You know, as a child, my parents had NO IDEA what was called what I liked (Cartoons, Video Games…), so if it was now, I’m pretty sure they would have bought me the Chinese Pokemon set.

LOL! I have a buddy who used to live in Thailand, and he’d send me pix every now and then of knock-offs he’d see on the streets over yonder.
