Copycat toys?

I was looking at the information pamphlet which came with my new Ophoria K-balls and noticed that 3 Feelztoys vibrators listed on the site are exactly the same - except for colour - as 3 of Ophoria's vibes.

Now, I know there are a lot of similar toys but I was stunned to see exact details share by these toys. For instance the Gianni, is the same as the BLISS No. 7 whereas the Damien and Abelio mimic the Bliss No. 3 and the bliss No. 2, respectively.

I just found this to be a striking coincidence.

It may be that Feelztoyz & Ophoria are just different marketing fronts for the same company. The contact information on the Feelztoyz page refers to The Netherlands, whereas the Ophoria lists a Nevada and Canadian addresses.

I was thinking perhaps Ophoria might be the North american end of the company?

Are Ophoria and FeelToyz related? Yes, kinda. Feelztoys made the Ophoria line for Lover's Choice. It was a contracted-type partnership just for this line. Ophoria is owned by Lover's Choice, not by Feelztoys. So what this means, is essentially that Ophoria is just repackaging the toys that Feelztoys is making...Lovers Choice buys Ophoria toys and labels them - that's it...Feelztoys sells the same toys in their own packaging as well. They’re not all duplicates, but you can see many of the same vibrators in different colors. Hope that solves the mystery for you

Now, in other cases, when you see copycat type toys, it may not be so “on the up and up” – like it is in this situation. Sometimes companies outright copy each other – which happens in any industry.

And other times, one company may have many brands under one umbrella and they have crossover products that are sold simultaneously in different lines but marketing to different areas.

To me the Love Pacifiers look like silicone copies of the Njoy ones.

i think sometimes when a company goes under they sell their toys to another company allowing them to rename them as well.
