The folks at the satire web site for Cracked magazine have compiled photos of the most unintentionally hilarious bootleg toys based on popular movie series. In certain parts of Asia, it's almost impossible to find legitimately licensed movie toys, and these are the most glaring examples of the industry's determination to ignore the bothersome process of taking out official licenses from the legitimate copyright holders.

Our favorite is the Spiderman knock-off set that combines replicas of the web-spinner with some old doll clothing that must have been left over from other products.
