Coolest knock off ever

I was looking through pictures I've saved off the internet and found this.
It's like pre-transformers (diaclone) meets ninja turtles:


If anyone knows where I can get one of these just hollar.

Bizarre...

In my travels I have NEVER seen that... I kinda want one now but wouldn't spend a great deal on it...

I wonder if anyone on here has one... Real photos would be cool...

Looks like all the little figures are knock offs of Leo and Don, as I only see a bo and a sword!

That is actually a knock off of the Go-bots power suits, but with TMNT figures thrown in instead of Go-bots for the figures. It certainly qualifies as a strange idea for a bootleg.

It certainly does seem weird (especially since the turtles look like diaclone men from the pre transformers line) but then again we got some diaclone reissues in the turtle's micro line. I can't remember what the name of the set was but I know I have it and I know I saw it somewhere else before.

It's an amalagam of what was popular in the late eighties through early ninties!!!!

You got your transformers, your TMNT, and your Powerangers!!! all you need now is to have them Battleing some bizzare Thunder Cat, Gi Joe, Care Bare, mixture; and I'd have to chalk it up as.......Boneriffic!!!.

My favorite bootleg is the tiny little Hong Kong/Chinese character that is dressed up as a Ninja turtle, has a Leonardo hat, and nunchucks.

Maybe I am biased because I think it is adorable... I posted pics of it a few months back... But here is he again... So cute

There's somethin' you don't see every day. It looks very pecuilar for a bootleg toy. I wonder what the name of that fifth Turtle is?

Those toys are actually connected to this!

http://forums.thetechnodrome.com/showthread.php?t=12971

It's from a weird Korean movie called Our friend Power Five!

Anyway, where did you get the pic?

Saw it on eBay years ago, thought it was neat but not worth money back then so I just saved the pic.

I saw turtle army men too, those were neat. They looked just like the mirage turtles but they were like those green plastic army men toys that don't move or anything. I saved the pics to those as well, saw them at about the same time, I think I didn't bid because I as out of town. I found that pic again on my dad's computer so I think that explains it.

For the sake of knock offs, here's one I found....somewhere.

The artwork is cool, although Mike and Raph have D's on their belts, I'm guessing Leo and Don do too, also notice the apparently one treaded, one seated, one missile carrying vehicle, below, ohhhh and the name.

The face sculpt and construction is crazy and the weapons seem entirely of their own product as well.
