Interesting fake XP 150 I found on eBay. Compare the real one to the fake one.

It's funny that some companies try to use the Super Soaker's reputation of power to sell poor products.

My friend and I were looking on the Bay' for soakers before today's war, we noticed that. Looks really close to the original.

Also, we found fake 1500's that were sold in plastic pags. Never buy those.
I don't check this forum anymore.

I think it looks nothing like the real one. Often fakes have extra plastic to make them look "cooler" than the real thing, which atrracts young buyers.

I agree with Monsoon. The fake doesn't look at all like the real one. A real fake fake is one that looks exactly like the soaker (with a similar designed sticker/logo) except it might be a bit different in size, colors, or very minor things.

I have seen that fake xp 150 at my local KB Toys. It is not worth it, as none of the pressure chambers are real pressure chambers, and the entire gun is piston based. The nozzle is also relatively small (Something around .25x I believe :o ).
