This page seems to be split between examples of shoddy knockoffs of products in different genres, and examples of knockoffs in fiction. I think it'd make sense to split the page into "In-Universe" and "Real Life" subsections.

Mike Mozart's fake iPod example is in two places, and I'm not sure which is right. Could someone else decide?

Removing this example because the link is dead, and it seems like I've replaced a link to it at least once before:

"while the newer My Little Pony series has only recently been hit by it"

Can we get something to back this up? I've never seen a G4 MLP knock-off, they all seem to use G1/G2/G3 molds

I'm not very wikisavvy, and this wiki is particulary different from every single other (who blatantly copies theotherwiki), but I'd like to add an example. Almost sure it is this trope, not some else: Every 3d film by Video Brinquedo ( Hide / Show Replies

Should we lump together all of the Stuart Ashen examples into one folder, with appropriate hyperlinks?

They would all fall under "Web Original", and any past the first example would go into sub examples.

I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid.

But this page was directly inspired by Ashens (and was originally called Popstation to reflect that). We've got examples from his videos in Toys and Video Games. Should they all be moved to Web Original?

Yes, as all are web-based videos. But any references to the products themselves should remain in their areas.

Probably, yes. Have any ideas what to change the name to?

See you in the discussion pages.

This isn't the place for that, and you can make redirects if you like.

And they did. And it now has a descriptive name. So that's all good.
