What is this? Or this?

Are these just fakes? They are sold at serious prices though. Anyone heard of Wilton Bradely?

Wilton Bradley is a rip-off of Milton Bradley, a famous toy company. Yes, these are clones, but I must say, the XP 310 clone looks darn real!
I don't check this forum anymore.

The 310 clone looks nothing like the real one. Wrong colours, a different pump, and it's shape give it away.

^ This post inspired me to check out Froogle once more, and the elusive CPS 1000 clone has made it again! This appears again to be the good one. I think I might order one. It even is 24 inches long, iSoaker.com reports that a CPS 1000 is a bit less than 23 inches long. Manufacturers tend to exagerate a bit.

For only 10 dollars, it would be awesome if it was real. It looks like the actual good clone too.

The 310 fake is well done. The MX is not as good. And that 1000 fake is amazing. If you hadn't of said it was fake I would of figured it to be the real deal!

According to Cloud, if I remember correctly, that CPS 1000 fake isn't up to much despite its use of CPS technology. <_<

Hold on, if this 1000 fake uses CPS tech how come no one has tried to mod it. I'm sure that even a bad CPS would outmatch what's currently one the market (excluding homemades).

Odd, the XP 310 looks like it is using the CPS 1500 color palet. Except for the Mini-Monster (nickname, do not criticize) there, the XP 310 was pretty well done for a fake. For the CPS 1000? I cannot really tell.

I couldn't tell the cps 1000 was fake. What mistakes are there in it that give it away?

It looks very real. The handle even has ridges on. If anyone buys one, tell me if it is real, I want more!
