You've heard of The Justice League. You've heard of The Teen Titans. You've probably even heard of The Defenders and Avengers.
But there's one group of superheroes, cutting a path across all matter of pop culture iconography, that you probably have not heard of.
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages... I bring you The Sense of Right Alliance!?
I couldn't help but take a picture of this spectacular knock-off superhero action figure set featuring: Batman, Spider-Man, Superman, Yellow Power-Ranger, The Thing and Johnny Storm. Wow, how many possible lawsuits can you find just in the artwork?
In all my years of knock-off toy appreciation this one ranks near the top with the blinking, sword-carrying Spider-Man that fell apart the moment it was exposed to fresh air and the phenomenal ROBO-COP bootleg action figure with hysterical packaging calling it ROBERT-COP (see image below that I found on a forum) that I found at the late, lamented Pennsauken Mart.
While we're on the subject here are some pages on Transformer knock-offs, a STAR WARS fortress knock-off available from Sears, even an on-line toy store with a whole page dedicated to knock-off items.

This is amazing. Where did you come across the "Sense of Right Alliance."
It was at the Dundalk flea market off 695 near Baltimore. I may go back one morning and grab one. If I do let me know if you want one...
