Was there ever a Diansheng with disproportionate pieces?

After half a year I found out it was an Alpha V knockoff

Can someone tell me what brand this mini 30mm sparkly cube is? http://imgur.com/a/Ir6Yc

I know this is an Aolong, but can't tell if it is a V1 or V2

That looks like a V2. The V2s have bigger triangular dent on the corners. Like what's shown in this photo http://imgur.com/3JxDq8X

What brand of Megaminx do I have?!

I've had this Megaminx for a really long time, and it was a Chirstmas present so I don't know what it is... my best guess is a Shengshou, but I saw one at a comp and it wasn't quite right. A picture of 2 corners, an edge piece and the rest of the Megaminx is down there... VVVVVVVVV
Some things about this Megaminx: It has great turning, and never pops unless you want it to, and the corner cutting is OK. The caps on the insides of the pieces will easily fall out if you take the pieces out, and the core looks kind of weird. I've looked on Amazon for all the Megaminxes I could find, but none of them matched up. Any ideas? And also, it doesn't have ridges.

Fun fact: My Megaminx PB is 4:59.599. I'm a noob, I know.

Very hard to see the pieces from the image, but could be QJ.

 

[YouCubing]

Weird, I didn't even know QJ made a Megaminx. But I looked on Google Images for QiYun Megaminx, and it looks pretty similar.

I use a mf8 v3, and it's great. It fast, smooth and has great cornercutting (after lubing n' stuff) The only problem is the popping... once or twice in an ao12. I also have a 48 official single with this cube

More specifically trying to figure out which versions these are. Pretty sure the 4x4x4 is a v4. Anybody got them from this link and know?

Hey guys,

Have a 3x3 I'm having trouble identifying. It's Alpha (/Type A/GuoJia/YangChun), uses the same torpedoes as the CC2/3, and has the YangChun sticker (so it's newer). I probably bought it in 2013/14. Thanks in advance for your input!

Hey everyone, I received this puzzle along with others during a huge trade I made at a competition, and I have no idea what this puzzle is called. He kinda just threw it in with everything. Anyway, I've named it the Twisty Barrel, as that is essentially what it does.

I think it might be a mistake. BTW are you talking about the box design without Feliks on the box?
