I can remember no greater feeling of excitement than when I was a child about to get a new toy. Sometimes I would be allowed to pick it out. Other times, I would be surprised. However, I know that nothing would kill my excitement quite like getting some knockoff toy.
If you knew I was a fan of the Power Rangers, then I don't want plastic figurines of the Fighting Action Heroes. Get it together, Grandma. I know it seems like a small, unimportant distinction, but trust me, there is a huge difference and it matters greatly. THERE IS NO PURPLE RANGER!
