Knock-Off Figure Enrollment Plan
Do you miss the good old days of toy companies trying to make a quick buck off the success of GI Joe? Want to relive those glory days of buying figures at a price that won’t break the bank? Joe A Day and the Knock-Off Collector Club (KOCC) have teamed up to offer this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to receive exclusive action figures. Presenting the Knock-Off Figure Enrollment Plan. Starting real soon now, every month or two or so, or when we feel like it, we will release a figure based on vintage offerings from the hallowed halls of Remco, Olmec, Galoob, Lanard, et al. And like their vintage counterparts, they’ll be dirt cheap!
Each figure will be released carded, and we will be using incredibly flimsy cardstock–just like the originals!
A super secret figure will be released as the final figure, and we won’t tell what it is, even after it’s released!
Watch the space below as new figures are revealed! Watch for more sentences ending in exclamation points!
Presenting the first two figures in the series. First,Ā from the ultra-rare Remco American Defense sub-line S.I.T. (Strategic Intelligence Team) the first Knock-Off Figure Enrollment Plan (KOFEP) figure: Fake Out! I wonder if he’s a spy? Next, from the fabled French European Force series, it’s Eclair. Mais oui, he’s a tasty treat!

Nice bit of satire there and right on the money.
Too many joints to be true knockoffs. Mold over the knees & elbows and I’ll take ’em! Don’t forget the eclairs. š
I hear ya, but unfortunately if it’s not 25th/modern style, folks won’t even give it a second look. š
I’m not enrolling until I see Agent Telepathy and Whispering Willie!

Now I would buy these. I have both of the above figures and a ton more KO’s that I would love to see in the 25th body style. too funny. I have some nice aquarium plants that could be lent for a nice Forest Green.
i sent in my $500 11 months ago and no eclair, no fake out. just the surprise figure. what is this anyway? http://fooyoh.com/menknowpause_lifestyle_living/4694776
I totally want a set of Spader-Man figures! Of course, there’s already a Spader-Man figure in the old Stargate movie line.
i like special man and robert cop 3.
