Take a look at the fake Super Soaker in the picture. PR tech, with fake PC. What I think is the difference between this and other fakes is the fact it has a "Super Soaker" logo on it, but it is not made by Larami. Any other fakes like this been heard of before? <_<

That's a fake. I agree with Doom here, it does get the award in my book for the most realistic fake. Im not sure where it came from, but yeah I Don't see any Larami engravings ther ein the plastic. It has a unique style to it, the stickers are styled differently so it does look like it is appealing. However, I can see through that and see the bad trigger and pump, Fake PC even.

I think perhaps the only thing they did with the stickers is make it 'Extra Power' whereas isn't it usually 'Xtra Power' on Larami's models? The trigger does look like one you'd see on a cheap PR soaker, so I agree with Jade and would venture to say that the PC is as ornamental at the Max-D 5000's.
EDIT - That gold K has never been seen on any Larami soaker, and gives it away a bit. Perhaps they should have hidden it slightly better.

Incorrect, the Larami models (I own an XP 75) from that year have "Extra Power," not "Xtra Power."think perhaps the only thing they did with the stickers is make it 'Extra Power' whereas isn't it usually 'Xtra Power' on Larami's models?
I think what gives it away is the pump and trigger, the styling looks different, this looks like one off a cheapo gun, while th ones from that year have bumps on the side of the pump.
I don't check this forum anymore.

I was WRONG about the pump handle and trigger! Look here for a picture if the gun. Also, no logo in the corner!

Sorry, I was working from later models with that statement.Incorrect, the Larami models (I own an XP 75) from that year have "Extra Power," not "Xtra Power."
The trigger on the XP95 on IsC is definetly different to and sturdier than the one of the so-called XP96.I was WRONG about the pump handle and trigger!
Also, the PC is a different shape and the pump looks better-fitting to it's track.
If you look carefully at the nozzle of each soaker, the XP95 has a slight protrusion in the nozzle, perhaps to improve lamination? Not on the 'XP96'.

That's strange, my 75 has the metallicized logo on it, and I have the box too, and even that has the metallicized logo.Originally posted by Soakologist@Oct 28 2004, 06:58 PM
In addition, the "XP" is the Metallicized shade only on the 150, 250, and 300. Both SSW's and My 95s have yellow printing, in addition to my 75, 55, and 35s.
I can get you guys some pics later today.
