The Sense of Right Alliance
Last night in a “discount store” in Prospect Heights, I came across an amazing little item. See, not only have factories in China been producing unauthorized knockoffs of popular toys (which is nothing new)… it seems like they’re hitting the “shuffle” button with whatever figures they have left in stock, and coming up with new super-teams too! Case in point: the SENSE OF RIGHT ALLIANCE!
Apparently, a robot-armed Batman, Spider-Man, Superman, the yellow Power Ranger, The Thing, and a redheaded Reed Richards and have teamed up…
…to FENCE AGAINST THE EARTH!
And on top of this already delicious ridiculousness, when I took a closer look at their approximation of Superman:
…I immediately made this association:
God, I love this stuff.

The funniest I’ve seen was a pack of Spider-man knockoffs branded SPADER-MAN! Sadly, I didn’t have a camera on me at the time, and I doubt the stallholder would’ve been happy if I’d photographed it. However, the idea of James Spader playing Peter Parker still appeals to me.

Nice. My son would love this actually, he always wonders why he can’t get Spiderman and Batman together!

The one we bought in Albufeira (Portugal) had Mr Incredibly. His left foot fell off after a week.

I saw the Sense of Right Alliance in Paddy’s Markets in Sydney a few years ago, albeit with a different roster that included King Kong.

Now, I wouldn’t have said Ray Romano; I would have said Dagwood Bumstead.
And, why do these knock offs always come with the muddiest graphic colors?
