Mini Flash Flood?

Post by scottthewaterwarrior » Thu Feb 09, 2012 8:53 pm

I was browsing though E-Bay and found this:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Larami-Super-So ... 336efda5d2

It says Super Soaker on it but I have never seen it before. Is it a bootleg? Even if it is real, I doubt it would be much use to any of us, but still cool if you like to collect that sort of thing.

It's most likely a knock-off. It does have "super soaker" on it, but you can tell the construction is low quality just by the sheen of the plastic and the style of the piston trigger mech. The mini keychain and pen soakers have pretty good plastic in them, it's firm and surprisingly thick. The pen soaker I used to own even had a metal bar for the piston instead of plastic. This one doesn't look any different than normal dollar store stuff in terms of the components (ignoring the shape). I wouldn't go for it without something that proves its legitimacy, such as the original packaging.

I wasn't planing on buying it, it was just funny, that is really why I posted it. I have both the Monster SS pen and key chain so I know they are quality, but I'm not to good at telling that when I can't hold it.

Yep, it is pretty cool, I've got to review it sometime, isoaker is afraid to open his. I wish I had known it's value 3 years ago, they had 5 or 6 at the local toy store for like $4 each as well as Monster X key chains for about the same price.

Is it even possible to grip that thing without mangling your fingers and twisting them broken?

Speaking of keychain soakers, this http://www.ebay.com/itm/super-soaker-/1 ... 2c62c8336c is one the most awesome of them all, imo. There is another really awesome type up as well, but I won't post it since it's currently going for a very nice price.
