I was in Poundland this lunchtime and was surprised to see these in the toy section:

Bootleg Gormiti! Part of a line of toys called "Alien Power" which seemed to also include boots of Power Rangers and some kind of alien figures, although these were the only three Gormiti I could see.

Poundland is a major discount chain here, so I wouldn't expect to see them stocking such dodgy stuff, but needless to say I snapped up one of each.

Here they are out of their packaging, "Deepdownfear", "Kolossus" and "Carrapax":

And here with some of their legitimate equivalents, in this case the 6" Atomic magnetic figures:

Pretty cool, hey?

The same alien Toy line had a Figure of the Alien you play as in the destroy all humans Video game series. Which is rather odd because it was a original figure because they was no offical figures made of the series.

At least the text on these is better than the Latest Uk series Translation is. THe Nick Lord Of Earth card has the French Story text on the card where the English one should be on the Uk/Spanish prints of the card .

Would you consider picking up three of these and shipping them here to the US? I would throw you a few bucks for your effort.

PM me if you are able to.

Thanks!

Wow.. the card design for those bootlegs is unbelievably hideous!

Today I found the final two, "Barbataus" and "Helios"

The colour schemes on these are a bit more tasteful I think - in fact they're very close to the original Atomic colours:

I had no plans to post in this thread again, but I was picking up a spare set of these for someone and discovered this handsome fellow:

Wow.. I'm not sure that "handsome" is the word I'd use, but he's definitely cool!
